Business trip with Dad
Hi,
This week I took 2 days off school, to go to Aarhus in Jylland with my dad on a business trip. At the time he is working on a huge project called MidtLink for a hospital, and it is going be a sort of Facebook for the hospital only. So if a doctor or nurse has a question about anything hospital related, then the rest of the 9000 doctors and nurses at the hospital, will be able to answer the question. MidtLink is part of a system to make sure that the people working at the hospital can view all of the patients medical history, instead of it all being on paper in drawers.
This is a really fun experience
And certainly good practice, because next year in school we are doing these internships for about a week. So it is really good to get an idea of what it’s going to be like. I would really like to try to work at UNICEF.
All I’ve really done up until now is packing these envelopes filled with 10 postcards about MidtLink. Some of the employees get an envelope and then they give their 10 postcards to 10 of their colleagues. That way everyone will know about MidtLink.

Theme Days: How my Bag is Packed – Purse
Hello!
First: this is my 80th post (almost 100)!
Today is about the purse! And I’m not going to bore everyone to death with this. I got it in Accessorize on half prise in Dublin Airport and I really love it! It has room for everything in it (and that is one of the most important things a purse should have, according to me) pictures, cards, money, receipts and so on.
I really like the sort of oldish look with the flowers and faded colors. And it is certainly good quality!
That was all for today, and I’ll be back tomorrow with ‘The Rose Pocket’ which sounds a bit mysterious, but you’ll have find out.

5 ways to make your day better!
I’m back!
I’m going to be honest with you and say it out loud: I’ve had a break from blogging this past month because I’ve not really had the extra energy i usually have.
There I said it, so I really am going to be much more active from now on. Not that anyone would care very much if I were more active, but it keeps me busy.
I have really noticed that the weather in Copenhagen is a bit (or a lot) depressing. It’s like one day the sun is shining and it’s mild outside and everyone’s like: “spring has come, I’m so happy – blah, blah, blah…”. Then the next day, what do you know suddenly we’ve gone back to snow! What is up with that?!
Anyway, that is why I made this blog post, because if you feel the same way as me, here are some very good tips to lighten up your day.
- When your stuck in a rutt and you feel like a change, it sometimes helps to do something different. You don’t have to change a lot, a little bit is enough. Fx, the other day my little sister encouraged me to sleep with my head in the foot-end of my bed, and that was enough to change my day a little bit.
- In the middle of the day (on a sunny day) you can usually see the sun hit the wall inside. Take a look at it for just a while, just enough to appreciate it. It always makes me happy.
- Okay, I don’t want to sound like some little perfect, weirdo girl. But if you bake something for your family Friday night, you for one thing get to enjoy it yourself but you also make the rest of the people eating it happy.
- Spoil yourself just a little bit. Put ice in you water or maybe a straw. Enjoy!
- Don’t wear something you don’t feel like wearing, your obviously making sure on beforehand that your day will be terrible! Probably the best advice in this post.

A dangerous cocktail: New years eve and a (reading) jetlag!
WELCOME 2012!
I hope you had a lovely christmas and a happy new year, I certainly was ready for that holiday! I had a really nice time at my gran and granda’s place in Ireland this christmas. We just got home the 30th – even though the time difference is only one hour, it seems that this “jet lag” mixed with a late new years eve results in insomnia.
Yes, so here I am at something past two in the morning blogging – because I’ve simply managed to do everything else since eleven (when I went to bed). What I’ve been doing since eleven:
- 11: Talking to my little sister (who I by the way am having a “sleep-over” with tonight) about how annoyingly hot it is in our room.
- 11:30: Tossing and turning after the light has been turned of (and the radiator!). I’m just thinking: I am never going to sleep ever again!
- 00:00: Turning on the lights (Ciara asleep), walking upstairs to tell my parents I can’t sleep. Response: “Go read for a while…”
- 1:30: Tadah! Done reading my daily couple of chapters of Breaking Dawn. Still not tired!
- 1:45: Tell my parent (who have now gone to bed) that I can’t sleep. Walk into the living room – see the computer…
- 1:50: BLOG! About my awesome (sarcastic) life.
I was actually going to blog about a christmas eve outfit – but the pictures for it aren’t finished, yet.
I think my sleeplessness has come because of all the late staying up over the christmas and the late night last night (New Years Eve!)
Wish you all the luck in the new year!

Pictures taken by our friend Beth.I have no energy & Merry Christmas!
No, no, no, no… NO! Whatever you are thinking, I do not need sleep. Because you see the sort of exhaustion that I am going through right now, is not lack of sleep. But what makes a person even more exhausted is the fact that when they try to tell people every day that the need just a little break, the only 1, single line that you get stuck right into your face is “You need sleep!”. I mean isn’t this always what you have been told: “Remember, you should always tell us how you feel.” But no-no when you then eventually tell people how you feel, it just seems like, it hasn’t popped into the people’s mind that: “Ok, maybe this certain person actually needs a break from whatever is tiring this person out, (homework, too much responsibility, not enough parent support – though I’m only going through the homework thing).
So I’m sorry – but that is why I haven’t blogged since November 19th + wordpress has been acting weird on my school computer.
Luckily my christmas holidays already start on Friday (3 days) and then I’m going to Ireland on Sunday (5 days)! But don’t worry I’m not depressed, I’m still happy, hyper, silly Aisling – it’s just a phase, I have fun at school and stuff 
appreciate life,
Aisling
Update
Hi,
I am really happy! For two reasons at the time:
- I watched Breaking Dawn! And it was surprisingly sad, I cried through the entire end. I’ve waited for like a year since I read the book for this movie to come out. Unfortunately my friend Klara (who I read the book with) watched it Wednesday – that was too bad, but it’s fine.
- My whole “More young bloggers… blah-blah”-thing is coming true. When I made that post I was alone – I didn’t know any other bloggers my age. But now I have several friends blogging – and the fantastic thing is I was only a little bit involved in it. Here’s how it started: I set my friend Hanna up on WordPress (she unfortunately switched to blogspot.com) and then she inspired our friend Nynne to start. And our friend Emmy also started a photoblog about her life somewhere in between those two. So a wish really can come true – poetic, right.
Changing the subject: I really want to blog more about the original category of this blog, fashion. But I just don’t seem to be able to find anything fashion related to blog about. I just don’t want to be one of those (excuse me but, fake) bloggers that only blog about themselves and their style. I want to set an example fro people to not be fake on their blogs, because that is just the very worst thing that you can do on your blog: Be unnatural, you’re only kidding yourself. In all seriousness, if the internet is on it’s way to a sky of fakes… I’m going to leave the internet forever. Drama Queen!
I also changed my header. I quite like it because I have been trying to get a good header for a long time, the only minus is that it isn’t taken on a very good camera – but I just think that as long as I like it, it will do.

Parents…
Hello! Quick warning:
If your name is Ole or Kerry Kassow, you might not want to read this blog post…
You may well notice the ‘…’ in the title. I have found parents very… uhm… disagreeing in a way. It’s just as out of nowhere they change and turn against you (some of the time). And they don’t seem to understand you 100% – they are like aliens from mars. But they can also be understanding when they want to, and even though the are nice and helpful and I do love them, they just – argh – really sometimes get on my nerves.
But with all this said and if certain Kerry and Ole people read this despite the warning, I would like to praise their cooking. And that they are very nice people that do very nice things for their children – pay for clothes, holidays, food and all these things that I’m very grateful for.

A Saturday Make-over
Hello!
I’m getting a bit worried about Halloween this year, because it’s in Monday and we don’t have a pumpkin yet. I honestly don’t have a lot to write about…
Ciara and I were a bit bored this Saturday – so apart from playing Sims 2 Ciara got a make over (she also painted a moustache on herself, but that’s another story). It was very cozy. And by the way Ciara isn’t easy to get through when she’s hyper!

Having Sisters
Okay, my sisters aren’t exactly angels but I could definitely not live without them. Probably 60% of the time I am not very good friends with either one of my sisters. But the bottom line is: I LOVE THEM
I remember when I was almost 2 years old, when my first little sister was born – I didn’t have I clue what a baby was so my parents gave me a doll. I think it probably had something to do with me not getting to jealous, because all the attention was of course on Ciara and I was use to being an only child with all the attention.
When my second little sister Halley was born I was 7 years old. And my parents filmed us when they told us that we were going to have a little sister, it is quite funny to watch.

She’s a Surviver!
Hello!
Oh yes! My alter worked! My bunny is as alive as ever – and I feel terrible that I was away on a scouts camp when she was at the vet. And in a very freakish way I feel that she knows that I wasn’t there, and I haven’t been forgiven yet, unfortunately. The poor things had their tummy shaved (sorry, but it looks ridiculous) and also found out that the food we were giving them were like candy for them, so we made a ‘Bunnie Food Pyramide’ apparently the very best thing for them is grass lots and lots of grass. I picked lots of dandelion leaves for them on a lawn today. The are going to have their stitches taken out soon, and after that they can live with each other again – YAY!
But a part from that I’ve had a great! It was very cold and wet, and one night I woke up like 3-4 times because the rain was hitting the tent really hard. At one point I got afraid a tree was going to fall on us, but that was clearly an exaggeration. I am very thankful that I could borrow the thermal sleeping bag – I don’t know what I would have done with out it. While I was there my new friend and I were interviewed (http://pigespejder.dk/nc/forside/aktuelt/nyheder/nyhed/vis/udfordringer-nye-venner-ungleder/) about the camp by the people that write stuff on the girl scouts’ website. It actually ended up on the front page – I am regretting that I wore my pink hat from 2nd grade.
While I was gone my family went shopping for clothes in H&M, Waterfront (My heaven!) AND they went to Tivoli and saw the biggest pumpkin (288kg) in Denmark (So Jealous…). I can’t say that I didn’t want to go with them…
Going back to school tomorrow
