Väntan

Idag har jag väntat...

väntat på besked från studera.nu om jag kommit in på någon av de utbildningar jag sökt...

första kallet, var att det skulle utannonseras innan klockan 14 idag, måndag.
när klockan började närma sig 14 uppdaterade de sidan och skrev att det tagit längre tid än planerat, men att de skulle vara klara idag, tidigast klockan 18....

efter att klockan slagit 18 har jag haft haft studera.nu uppe och uppdaterat den högfrekvent... nu är klockan 00.41 och de har fortfarande inte uppdaterat... däremot skickade de ut mail om att det var klart och att jag kunde se resultatet på hemsidan... fast naturligtvis glömde de trycka på den berömda knappen innan de gick hem för dagen... suck

men nu går jag å lägger mig, med hopp om att de börjar jobba innan jag vaknar imorrn...

Dagens utdrag från wikipedia.org

Fika is a Swedish verb that roughly means "take a coffee break".

Fika is a social institution in Sweden: it means taking a break from work or other activities and having a coffee with one's colleagues, friends, or family. This practice of taking a break for a coffee and a light snack (some biscuits, cookies, or a sandwich) between more substantial meals like lunch and dinner is central to Swedish life, Swedes being among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world.[1]

Since the word implies drinking coffee, just having a sandwich would not really be fika, although these days tea instead of coffee is becoming more frequent. In recent years, too, fika has also come to mean simply going to a café and having a coffee with someone, though this technically deviates from the strict "taking a break" meaning.

The word itself is an example of the backslang used in the 19th century – where the syllables of a word are reversed – deriving from kaffi, an earlier variant of the Swedish word kaffe ("coffee").

The word is also used as a noun, referring to the snacks and coffee eaten and drunk during fika, and can also be found in many combined nouns, especially in the word fikabröd (fika bread) which is a collective name for all kinds of biscuits and cookies that are traditionally eaten during fika. Note that actual bread (for example sandwiches) that are eaten during fika are not included in this usage, the word only refers to other kinds of snacks.
