“Roomservice” and a turn for the good..
Posted by thepast on April 11th, 2008
I’ve been keeping myself busy this last weeks. Mostly with training at the gym doing “2-a-days”, but also, trying to find material for my thesis and browsing through it.
I’m a “reality show”-oholic. Actually, I’m more of a “TV-Show”-oholic.
I love TV-shows. They make me forget about the troubles of the day and gets me relaxed. Over the years I’ve followed everything from House M.D., The West Wing, Boston Legal, 24, Futurama, Heroes to Numb3rs.
And now, “Roomservice“.
Roomservice is a Swedish TV show, starring a carpenter, a painter and a interior designer (the interior designer is changing from episode to episode) where they “invade” a persons home (with consent) to redecorate/redo a room, everything from kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, you name it. They ask the owner of the place a couple of basic questions about how they want their place re-done and after that, they go to work, designing.. It’s a blast. Especially if you like design and interior design. It’s a Swedish version of “Extreme Home Makeover” of sorts, (actually, I think there is a “Extreme Home Makeover” branch in Sweden as well, but that show is not as compelling or charming as “Roomservice”). I’m having a blast. Problem? I want to tear down my parents kitchen, living room, bathrooms and redo the whole house. I don’t think my parents would appreciate that. I’m glad I just got a small apartment at the moment. Not to much to be done!
So, over to the “turn for the good” part.
I’ve applied to another university, (Luleå Tekniska Universitet). I’m going to nursing school. Becoming a nurse as my mother. This in combination with my exam in “International Crisis- and Conflict management” (political science) will assist me in my struggle to help people. I’m not quite sure how to combine them yet, but I will. For you who only known me for a while (or just getting to know me) this might come as a bit of a surprise, but for you who’ve known me for a long time, you’ll know it’s something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I’m very exited that I’ve made this decision and I’m really looking forward to it. But first, I have got to finish my thesis so I get my diploma this summer!
Time for a final episode of “Johnny and Mattias” from Roomservice! Then: Bed.

Congrats on your decision. It is great you know what you want. God, I wish I could say the same. Maybe it will all come together in a flash and then I won’t have to think about it. Roomservice sounds fun. We have something similar, I think, called Trading Spaces or something like that.

Well, trading spaces is not quite the same thing.. I think it’s probably closer to “Extreme Home Makeover”..
