Blast from the past

Headed up to Stockholm, this past weekend, for my 5-year reunion at my high school in Sigtuna. Was quite strange being back there. In one way it felt like yesterday, I was back at school again and not a day had gone past but in another way it felt like a lifetime ago since I was a completely different person back then and have done a lot in these past 5-years.

Reunions are really interesting phenomenons. In a way, it sort of gives you a stand point of where you are in life and also makes you realise how similar and different you are to some people. There is no place like a reunion where you compare yourself and analyse other people so much, even if you want to or not. Not necessarily in a negative way, just in general where people are in life compared to you and how interesting it is the different paths that people have taken. It really is a bit like it is in the movies :)

It was great fun seeing some people again and hearing what they're all up to and how people have matured, and some not so much :). Spoke to people that I wasn't that close to back then but who are such great and interesting people, who I really wish I was better friends with. Everyone has a different story and is spread out around the world, mostly studying. I think I was the only one done with studying and who has approached the working life. - This is what I mean how people have taken different paths, not that one is better than the other, but in a way, I now feel like I don't have to be stressing to get the best job and make a lot of money - although my personality is a bit of a go-getter so it would be hard for me to not want to do it but at least it is interesting to know where other people, at my age with a similar background, are in life.

Anyway, the day started off with playing volleyball with the old gang, well at least some of them - so much fun and hilarious. I was a bit rusty but our team won :). Then we checked out our old homes and then dinner time with plenty of wine and gossip. The bus back in to the city then dropped us off at Sheraton Hotel for some more partying. Graduates from 97, 98, 99, 00, 01 and 05. Sigtuna had taken over!

After a few drinks, we felt like shaking our booties and headed to the next place. After that things got a little hazy...

This is what my phone snapped up...


Meet and greets :)


Backa babe


Catching up at Caz


My Björka ladies, Krisse and Emelie.


Some entertainment on the night, which was actually a little disappointing... for a rich school, I was expecting a little bit better - being an event planner and all :).


Patiently listening to the oldest graduate ever.


André and Charlotte

Huge Magnum Champagne bottle at White Room, where we'd like to say we partied with Stefan from Paradise Hotel and that other guy that was just there a week who nobody knows the name of. They were there but they weren't invited to our VIP party :).


At the airport, on our way back to Götet, feeling tip top :). I feel like I have a similar picture from our past adventures...
