CURRENT MISSION

preparing for my year in Japan

ABOUT ME

Living in Malmö, Sweden, and studying Japanese at Lund University.
Will be in Tokyo, where my girlfriend also happens to live, to study at Waseda University for a year, starting september 2009.

PHILOSOPHY

Just trying to live a calm and quiet life while avoiding unhappiness and boredom.
I have a very laid-back, carefree view of life - I live step by step, rarely planning anything far in advance. I try not to set high goals or ambitions, and I almost never feel stressed. I'm also usually very positive - I keep thinking everything will always work out in the end somehow, no matter what happens. :)
