Ikea is the dream of every student. It’s affordable and makes everyone’s room look like a page from a catalogue (almost). I went on an IKEA trip two days ago and came back with her:

my baby plant. isn’t she (yes, it’s a girl) beautiful? It’s a lovely ficus and I am already in love with it, so I spent a whole day trying to give it a name. Someone suggested a greek sounding name, which I liked, but in the end I picked Vega, partly because that’s the 5th brightest star in the sky. It turns out that it is also the name of a place in Norway (as well as the name of a character from Street Fighter, as Rudi pointed out) so I guess that’s a sign.
