oh, look a blog post, after more than half a year!
So, I won’t apologize for not posting in a long time, I find those kind of posts almost as interesting as those who explain that there won’t be any regular posts in a while. Not that much.
Instead, here’s what I’ve done in the meantime (parts of it). There has happened a lot, although I haven’t done a lot actually.
I am officially a college drop-out, sort of. Well, in january I decided that I would give up on electrical engineering and dropped out pretty spontaniously. Even more spontaniously I dropped in an audio engineering class in Örebro, which was only half time and for half a year, so I’m done with that again already as well. It was fun and I actually got a good grade in it, but it wasn’t one of those things that get you a job really. I’m looking for one of those now. I’m still not a 100% sure what to do and where to go.
I could do a course in “music and audio design” or whatever it is called now, at some kind of community college in a small town like 30 miles from here. My former teacher recommended it to me, but I’m no a 100% sure, the disadvantages of that would probably be that is is not exactly renowned and I’m not sure if it really is the shortest way into the business (duh). Oh, also the college is kind of run by the Swedish church. On the other hand, it’s close. That would be one of the choices I have for specialising more on the creative and producing aspect than technical, which would also be the case for my other Swedish choice:
I might apply for the SAE Institute in Stockholm, the have an interesting audio production class there and it’s only two nights a week, so I wouldn’t have to move. That would still be an expensive option as it is a private school and I would be commuting, on the other hand you get a really good education and a lot of business contacts. I’m trying to get a hold of them on the phone right now, so I can book an appointment.
The other two (evenly or more expensive) choices would be studying a more technical program at the SAE in the UK (it’s abroad, it’s renowned and I could acquire a fancy accent), or MI in Los Angeles (contacts, Hollywood, good weather!).
Right now I’m favoring Stockholm, but my opinion changes every few days. We will see.
Other than that, I have finally almost finished renovating my kitchen, it’s only been a year or so, the dog and the horsey are doing good, horsey is kind of at summer camp right now, well he’s staying at my trainers place, which is an awesomly nice place to be for a little horse.
Talking about summer camp, I wen’t to Portland, Oregon for about six weeks, to work at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls, which is awesome, and I will tell you more about that soon. Promise.
I organised a feminsit culture festival in march, went to Rome with my boyfriend in may and I recently picked up the bass again, actually, I’m looking for band members right now (maybe even more about that soon).
Generally, I’m working on (read: thinking about) a lot of projects right now, mostly music and feminism related, but it’s nothing concrete.
anyway, see ya
