Autumn is gliding to winter and people around are slowly evolving. Some get babies, other get engage and I get my part as well. A proportional part for my age, of course.

Projects keep appearing, future is happening today and I feel a bit ”not ready yet”. Proposititions, difficulties and responsabilities arrive and commitements show up. How should I handle it? I have to jump into the see whithout knowing if I can swim or not.

-Get tough or die.-

So I will try jumping from a higher cliff, I don't know what will happen but it's worth a try.

I know my friends are waiting with lifebelts. It should be fine...







ps:

Some uggly oldies cause it's halloween

Urban mood




Some pictures from the album -urban geography and geometry-.

modern world

Do the Internet and information and communications technologies really empower ordinary citizens?

Today's world is usually described as a village by the media. The communications technologies, which erased thousand of miles of oceans and deserts changed the reality of geography.
These progresses have been really fast and modernity is a concept which improves everyday.
Internet opened the world to us increasing our social network. It created, not only the opportunity of international socialization, but increased the intra national communication. People of a community have now another way of instantaneous and almost unlimited interaction apart of the traditional physical communication. This is helping sharing information and knowledge, increasing the opportunity of distance education and works. It is a fantastic tool for us to empower ourselves.

But as the world is shrinking the major part of it is excluded. Internet and the new communications technologies are only available in the richest part of the globe, which gives an anamorphic shape to the world.

The sector is improving everyday, encouraged by the hyper consumption. But if the quantity of social exchange is improved, what about people we can meet outside the Internet? It seems that the more we learn to know about our outer world, the more we forget about our neighbors.
More than to affect the social web, a power cut could show how fragile the “modern” society can be. For example in 1989 in Quebec, a cut of electricity, due to a solar flare, lasted up to nine hours. A larger, solar flare is expected for 2012, it might damage in the first place the most industrial countries. This case highlights our dependence on technology.

The new communication technologies gave us more possibility than ever but do we really need all of this? We already have a lot of possibility from our environment. We should take more care of our values, stopping our race for superfluous and consumption.

Missed one class today, international communication, felt pissed. Too much happening at the same time, I would like to take a look around but if I stop now I'd probably sink. No time no thinking. Only german, drawing, and mjölkdrick.
Jag känner mig inte färdig med språket, liksom ett barn som försöker å prata med vuxna, fast i jamförelse med tyska känner jag mig trygg. That's it, svenska har just blivit ett hem.
Sehnsucht und alles....låt det bli.
Hope I get a productiv day tomorrow, at last.
Oooh got a good word about my work the other day, coming from someone who doesn't use to say compliment everyday. hm positiv news....?
ejj, anyway...

What changed since I changed

Working on IPE project made me think about a lot of things. All the questions I had to ask these people, I had to find the answers for me before.
Today I'm in sweden for more than one year.
So how did I change since I'm living abroad?

I passed from a theoritical to an "experienced" girl.

That's quite hard to explain but before I knew about difficulties in the world. I knew about culture. Now I feel.
I'm worried for my friends, their relatives that I never met, their country I didn't visited yet. I experienced culture in other countries, through peoples.
What more?
I'm better in english, improved my swedish.
That's pretty much everything.
All the over changes, and there is a lot, are the result from my past work on myself. As IPE's people named: shyness, social life...
But I have to admit that this past year accelerate these changes.
So thank you to kicked my ass and make me jump further. I got older this year, and saved a lot of time that I can now enjoy instead of thinking and struggling.
Life will still be rough but I think I can deal with it now. I just need to look back on the 6 last past years and I know I can do all the things which seemed so hard before.
I'm fine.
