When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
This was one of the many mantras my father has displayed in our home in Zambia. It’s something I always relate to whenever things get tough and I feel like I can’t cope. Five Things Week 22 highlights some of the tough things that happened, sucked and my plans for next week. When I initially started this post, it was for week 21 but before I knew it I was already living week 22. Never one to focus on the negative, I decided to skip 21 and instead do the five things week 22.
Five Things from week 20
- Start writing the Post Grad assignment due at the end of the month. Started,
written the title🙁 but a still got long way to go - Schedule posts for the new week.Success – managed to schedule for up to Friday (week 21, I am struggling to blog week 22)
- Start searching for a car and insurance – on hold
- Practice a no spend week, except for foo – Failed, I have splashed over £300 this week {21} alone. Then went to Stockholm and spent even more than that 🙁
- Reduce screen time (apart from work) and turn it into me time. Failed, partially because I was busy enjoying Stockholm but at times was glued to my phone.
Five Great Things to Happen
- Friday Week #21: Traveled to Stockholm for an extended weekend, best decision ever.
- Friday Week #21: Requested to travel to Paris this coming Thursday {for work}
- Week #22: Got a date, very excited about it. It’s been such a long time and didn’t even think I was ready.
- Met absolutely incredible people in Stockholm, so happy I stayed in a hostel; best decision ever.
- Amongst the people I met, we weren’t out to explore Stockholm and because of her I saw much more.
Five Things that sucked
- Motivation has been really hard to come by the last few weeks, can not be bothered to blog nor do work.
- Week #22: Assignment{s} due this Friday but I don’t have the time to complete it.
- Accidentally accepted to have {full fat} cream in my hot chocolate and had runny tummy an entire morning. To make matters worse I was also hangover so that didn’t help and was bad at staying hydrated.
- Delayed flights both to and from Stockholm, I don’t know why I am annoyed. That’s budget airlines for you.
- Met ZERO VIKINGS in Stockholm, so disappointed {hahahaha} made me miss Oslo even more.
Five Things for next week
- Book tickets for Zambia
- Plan a trick for the Easter weekend whether home or abroad
- Start planning my 30th Birthday getaway {Bali or Hawaii??}
- Visit my parents and get hair done
- Explore Paris after work Friday and over the weekend.

I say go Bali Anosa and with all the travel you do, I would highly recommed the club we are part of. I was surprised that for the price of stayin gin Hostels for mostm, we get to stay in 4-5 sar establishments. I would be more than happy to share with you whne we get back from our 4 week hiatus! Let me know! Have a fantastic 30th Home or Abroad. I would say Hawaii but the I am biased 🙂
