My new bag!!!




My chose was between a Mulberry dark brown Bayswater or a Louis Vuitton Speedy.
The Mulberry was awesome, I was considering to buy it but then I thought, I'm young and energetic. The Louis Vuitton seems more glamourous than the Mulberry one which is, to be honest, quite dull. I can buy Mulberry when I start working. While right now as a student I fit in LV more, I can also use it on parties, etc. Also Mulberry is not very famous in China, while LV is. 

So my first designer bag is a Louis Vuitton Speedy ^^

But THIS bag will mean hard work for me. I have promised myself to be amazingly HEALTHY this fall semester, going to buy a gym card tomorrow and live there this weekend, because I really have gained some weight (as you see in the picture!!! look at my belly, can't wait to the countless sweaty spinning classes and thaiboxing classes ahead of me). Also, I bought a voice recorder in China that I'm going to use every class, and then on weekends I'm going to sit at home studying and listening to the teacher once again from my voice recorder. On weekdays I'm all busy with uni classes, shopping, eating lunch with friends, working and gym, so on the weekends it's all about STUDYING. 
I want good grades although it is not as important for me as I have shitload of working experience by now, but still. Being even more attractive on the employment market is not a bad thing! :)  Good luck to me.   Work Hard Play Hard

I worked a lot last semester, and I work now as well + I get money from the state as I'm a student, and I'm borrowing money with very low interest rate from the state as well, because I'm student.


shopboy (nice name):
great! yesterday I put the voice files in my computer, and listened to the class once again, and understood even more. So now it's stuck in my brain. Best investment ever!

Really? For many students in Norway they still cannot afford designer stuff despite a 30% position with NOK 120 per hour. Social events every weekend burn off most of the money since a beer costs NOK 60 at any bar.

I have just finished up my MSc and I feel terrible because of the morgage and study loan...God knows, 2.5 mill in total need to be paid off. I guess things are much cheaper in Sweden and it helps a lot.

well, it's the same here in sweden, but I avoid buying lots of alcohol out at clubs, last semester i hardly went to any clubs, i was just partying in my neighbourhood (student place) and got free alcohol all the time.
I don't spend much in food, about 1400 sek (rmb) a month including eating out.
