I love it when I randomly feel like listening to an artist and then discover that there is a brand new release out there, waiting to be explored. Goldmund’s latest addition to my world seems just as enchanting as his previous albums. This one is for long flights, beautiful nights and colourful dreaming. Enjoy.

Goldmund – Shenandoah
All will prosper (2011)

We have this tea here in Denmark called Yogi Tea. It always comes with these cheesy little notes and today I’m kind of liking mine.

Another thing worth mentioning is that this exam that I’m studying for is highly competitive. Despite that, people that have never met before are sharing notes, ideas and advice online. Selflessly helping each other out.

That’s quite exceptional, don’t you think? I have gotten to know some really great and intelligent people through this and I really wish them all the best. They are the kind of people the UN system needs.

Now, let’s do this – one day left!

You know that feeling of when you are studying for an exam and it feels like the actual questions will be about something you completely missed?

This time I kind of have to know everything so the feeling is more prominent than ever.

Whatever the case, I have learnt things and I have tons of random conversation-starters for those dinners where people insist on being dead-serious.

But, I mean.. IAEA IATI IASC UEAI R2P NPT ODA LDC IDA MPI ..oh, and did you know that malaria was eliminated by Turkmenistan and Morocco in 2010?

Now you do. Good night. :)

My name is not Daisy – The Balcony

“I can sense a world of heartache
but I love the sound
of your hair when it falls down
from the pillow late at night”

This is a cover by Danish artist My name is not Daisy and I discovered it yesterday when my housemate was singing in the kitchen and I was struck by the amount of beautiful metaphors in it. The original is by the Danish band The Rumour Said Fire and it is also beautiful but far less singable.
And we really like singing along, don’t we?
