Working working

Got what feels like a lot done today! Called the Capio clinic and booked a meeting about vaccination, contacted JK Safaris about our short trip to Nairobi. They helped us find a hotel and a driver. Kicki, the lady who I came in contact with, also advice us to fly between Nairobi and Mombasa instead of taking the train. She said it was not that fun of a train ride since we travel during the night and won't be able to see that much, and also because she can't guarantee that we will be safe. But I really want to take that train ride!! (and going by plane is much more expensive then by train). I've managed to put together a small budget for the Nairobi trip, were everything is counted for (food, hotel, transport and train/flight).

I also sorted all my e-mails to a special Kenya- folder, just to have everything under control.

I managed to delete my playlist that I'd made with songs for the film, but I would probably had changed it anyway. I'm saving the that work for, I think it gets easier when you've put part of the film together to figure out which songs you want.

Sponsors

I'm yet again trying to get ahold of some sponsors that said that they were interested and also some new ones. It alot harder then I thought!! But I will keep on trying.

In the last few days/weeks I've been pretty much stuck with my rapport. But yesterday I got quite stressed out when I realized it's just over three months left until we leave. And with christmas and all of that, the time will just fly away (even faster then it already does). So me, Emily and Elinor had a little talk and decided that we need to hurry it up a bit!

We also talked about how we will get to stockholm. I think that train is the best and easiest way, Elinor thought that flying up there would be best and Emily think going by car. We will see how we do once it is close enough for us to be able to buy tickets.

Bank

Today I stopped by my bank and opened a new account that I will use for my project. I will write a message with a description of my project and request for a donation to this account. I won't matter how much, just a small donation will do!

Tösabidarna girlie skatecamp 2011

Just got home after a crazy skate weekend. Pretty much skated all the time since Thursday afternoon. There is always such a good vibe on this cam and you really feel at home. That is one of the best things about skateboarding, you don't depend on another person to do their work but there are always someone there to cheer you on, help and push you to do your best.

During this camp there was two competitions arranged; one in bowl and one in street. Almost all of the 40(!) girls that participated in the camp signed up and we all had a blast. You always push yourself a little bit harder during a competition so it is really fun to watch and to compete.

Since my camera broke down and I skated as much as I did I wasn't able to take photos or get any video footage but there were several photographers and one of the girls hurt her foot so she spent the entire weekend behind the camera so I will get some material from them and post it on the blog later.
