Right, so I’m Evita Stenqvist. Eve was apparently too Adam and Eve for my parents, whatever that means. Besides tidbits of my chaotic life you’ll find that I write about everything and anything under the sun. I’m currently at KAIST in Daejeon (Korea) studying my second semester of my third year of Computer Science. Want to know a secret? I’ve absolutely and utterly hated every moment of my uni education right up until third year – so I’ll be sharing my survival techniques and how I found my way.
It’s funny how life-threatening situations bring out the essence of our personalities. [one_half] I politely asked for the ambulance to be called, pausing the clutching of my chest momentarily as I peaked into the living room door. The Bearded Man obviously had no idea what was going on, how Read more…
[one_half padding=”0 20px 0 0″]There’s been lots going on here at WE as Christmas comes racing round the corner, I hope you guys have been enjoying the advent calendar as much as I! What great content my peers create and what brilliant people that have been featured, even if you don’t speak Read more…
Pneumonia. Can you believe that after everything, I get pneumonia. Amazingly something pretty good came out of this. After week 2 of shivers and pangs of pain my bearded man came home and exclaimed “I can’t do this anymore”. I immediately knew – neither can I. India, Korea, EIT, fighting Read more…
Sunday morning I woke up as usual next to bearded man, sun in our faces from the window behind, the cool air for once not being a bother. We just got back from one of the coolest events I’ve ever had the pleasure to attend, the EIT Digital Kickoff in Read more…
(For those of you who don’t speak geek: time.zip == compressing time) Chaos is what best describes the days after dad was hospitalised. When every hour of the day is set aside for a certain purpose and then that plan is uprooted… well chaos. I’m amidst trying to impress my Read more…
I had something pretty cool in store for you on Wednesday, but as I was preparing my father called. ‘Can you pick me up in two hours’ he croaked. He was on a cruise with a friend of his that won a million on the lottery. I didn’t really think Read more…
Where do I begin, it’s been a summer and more since I wrote. I’m back in Sweden (from Korea). My bearded man and I were supposed to be in Berlin now, we got scholarships and all to TU Berlin, but getting grades converted when studying abroad can be extremely complicated. Read more…
Today has brought me wisdom. Maybe not of anything particularly important, but I am wiser none the less. I was viciously attacked by a turnstile today, don’t laugh, IT REALLY HURT. Security here at KAIST can at some times be laughable and at others less so. There’s this building, N10 Read more…
So I’m going to hop on the bandwagon and follow suit with the lovely Mia and Jessika and write a bit about courses! Hopefully this’ll give you a taster of what a nearly-done-bachelor-student does on their last leg. Algorithms, Operating Systems, Discrete Mathematics, Web Engineering and Undergraduate thesis – that’s the Read more…
Sometimes while life is as chaotic as it can possibly seem, say amidst six courses and eternal sleepless nights, it reminds you it can get a whole lot worse. A completely external factor just decides to spice up the chaos. Like running a marathon and then having someone shoot an arrow Read more…
