Exams, Delays and a foul mood

Honest to God, I actually forgot I had this blog.
But now, when I seriously should work on other stuff (because I have a deadline on friday) I remembered it again. Convenient you say? Oh yes.

I have an oral exam on the 19th of December. How lucky I feel. I have one of the latest exam dates before Christmas, whoopdidoo. Right now I'm working on a hand in that's due on friday. And it's going amazingly slow. I chose to write about the importance of relations between a teacher and his students, but it's so fucking boring! At the beginning I thought it was ok, since we've been out on practice and everything, it's easy then, to see the theory. But when you have to bind the practice up to the theory, it's not that easy anymore. And to remember all the damned names of the theoretic's! I'M LOSING MY MIND! I'm pretty sure of it. And I'm pretty sure you are as well, now that you're reading this. Poor unfortunate soul.

I've been in a foul mood all week. No idea why, I just am. I barely eat, today I've been good though, forced some dinner down a couple of hours ago. And it's not really because I don't want to eat, it's just... When I'm starting to make the food, I loose all my hunger. I'm not hungry at all. And it's weird. I have worked quite a lot, and it's making me grumpy since all I'm doing these days are eat (or not), sleep (barely), study/being on school and work. Poor excuse of a life if you ask me.

I hate to whine. Seriously despise it, but today I've been in a whining mood since I got home from school. I know I have to finish the damned text, but I can't find it in my will to do so. Whenever did I decide to become a teacher anyways?

Maybe I should just post this picture, and write that this is how every teacher should be (look like, act, take your pic), because maybe the students would actually pay attention to what he said. I know I would!

He could act lessons out for us, since that is what every teacher in my school is ranting on about. To make every hour special. I agree with this of course, and he would be the perfect man for the job.

With quote's like these he would be listened too and appreciated. Maybe not with the "drop out of school" part by the principal, but I agree.

Dressing up would be fun

And he would have been the most awesome music teacher, don't you think? 

I can feel my mood lifting by the minute. 

Besides this I have no money at all. Actually, that's a lie. I have about 5 kroner (Norwegian), and that doesn't help me at all. I have food though, just not the things I want, apparently.

Can't wait to get home for Christmas, do you look forwards to it?

Sincerely, M 

(Sorry for the rant, let's hope it doesn't happen again)

Still sick, but seeing the light!

At least I hope it's the light. Maybe it's the heaven light, but what the hell.. As long as I'll be done coughing and stuff I'll greet it with joy!

You should have seen my right eye this morning, it was completely swollen shut due to an allergic reaction to something. I seriously looked the same as I did when I hit my head on a rock a year and a half ago. And I did not look good back then. Not going to post the horrible pictures.

On to brighter subjects, I GOT THE DAMNED POLICE ATTEST TODAY!!! :D For those of you that read the rant about it earlier last week I think you can understand how damned pleased I am. Seriously jumping for joy in my chair (at least in my head, doing it right now only produces long coughing riots). And I also got the loan money. 18 000 kr. I feel rich. Almost.

Have found myself listening to Adele this week. Especially "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Turning Tables" not usually what I listen to but the woman's got a voice! Also listened to this song from Avicii called Fade Into Darkness. Kind of like it! Despite this being something I would have turned off immediately 2 years ago. It's kind of a happy go lucky party song, you know?

Right now I'm moping on my chair because I took the decision to drop out of the stand up show with the group. Because what if I had went since I'm feeling a LITTLE better than yesterday (not much) and then have to drop out tomorrow when we're having a MASQUERADE PROM! And for some odd reason (since I'm not particularly into dressing up) I really really REALLY want to go!! So I have no other choice now than getting better, because I am going.

Maybe it's because I get to wear a mask? I don't know but something about wearing a mask and "hiding" yourself intrigues me. I can't fucking wait. That's not my mask btw. Mine is black. And has awfully lot of feathers and stuff on it, so I'm kind of improving it. I was really going to make my own mask, but then I got sick, and I haven't really felt like walking around town trying to find the stuff I need. So today I pulled myself out of bed (got the day off), and took a bus down town so I could by a mask. Was done in the matter of 30 minutes and on my way back home again. I might post a picture of myself tomorrow. Who knows?

Oh and you know what, everyone else seems to have started school. Everyone is talking about lectures and stuff, and we haven't started at all!

But we are starting now. Tomorrow. 8.30 sharp. 

And do you want to know what I'm doing?

MATH.

From fucking 8.30 am until 14.00 pm. Someone kill me now!

Peace, out!

I hate being sick

I mean... Don't you?! I have nothing against laying in bed just chilling, but when I'm sick I hate it. I hate missing out on stuff, and I DO miss out on stuff since it is the "get to know you weeks" on school.
So this is about all I'm going to write today. Promise to come back stronger later. Preferably tomorrow. I'm trying to be a steady writer. Pictures of me today. YAY! (Not. I just haven't really taken any pictures today, so you get to see me instead, you lucky bastards. No make up, sick and with hair in different directions. Lovely isn't it?)

Pic (pics) of the day:

Trying not look sick and failing miserably

Failing worse. AND LOOK AT THE BAGS UNDER MY EYES!!! D:

No makeup, no nothing. Look at what I do for you people.

Fuck this... I'm going to bed. 

Hope you sleep better than me.

Birthday girl and Christmas carols

IT'S ANNE'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!! I don't know where she is right now, since she lost her phone earlier today, but I'll get to that.

I didn't have to do anything today, since my gaffers (still don't know if that's right, maybe I'll call them advisers) told me that I could just skip the introduction thingy that happened around 9 am. So i did. And around 11 when Anne finished at school I got on the bus with her and we went down to the city to celebrate her birthday with some cake on a cafe since it's her birthday. Poor thing had to by it herself though (and mine) because I have like 60 kroner (Norwegian valuta) left. BUT I PROMISE TO MAKE IT UP TO HER!

She ordered some brownies for herself, but after two bite she had this disgusted face and declared that she didn't like the brownie. So I laughed her and we walked on. She had a little grumpy mood which I then laughed even more at because it's a bit sad to let a tiny brownie control your mood like that (not that I don't get her, the brownie was disgusting).

When we finally decided to go home we jumped onto bus 9, which is one of the buses going to where we live. After a couple of minutes though, we realize that the bloody bus-driver has changed the umber on the bus (WHILE WE WERE SITTING IN IT) and it was now bus nr 4. Which of course goes in the totally wrong direction. So we just had to sit there to the last stop, and then the busdriver told us to get off the bus, so we had to get off, and then just sit at the bus stop until he started driving back again.

So to lighten the mood I pulled up some Love-Hearts from my bag, and a bottle of Coke. Did you know that if you eat a love-heart (chew it to pieces but don't swallow) and then drink some coke it bubbles in your mouth? It sounds disgusting, but I promise it's a funky feeling! So we laughed about that. Laughed until we cried actually.

Then she did this posture that she did last year around this time, which got us laughing again. (Picture below from last year)

When the bus finally arrived we got on again. Yipeykayey! But when we got to town again to take the RIGHT bus back home she realized she'd forgot her phone on the bus stop. So she had to take the damn bus back again. In the mean while I tried to call her phone to see if someone picked it up, but no one did. And suddenly her sister called me and said they had got a phone from a woman saying she had found Anne's phone. I of course couldn't tell her that, because she had already left, so I sat at home, waiting for her to come. When she finally did I told her that she could get her phone back on Monday, since the woman was getting back into town at that time. So it's all good and dandy.

I just got back from yet another adventure with my fellow ducklings and our gaffers. We had a rebus today, and had to wear costumes, so we dressed up as Santa's xD So much fun, Christmas carols and everything in the middle of August. Did a lot of funny tasks. And I seriously think we can win this thing. But I won't know until tomorrow.

Love-Hearts <3

Hahahahahahaha I always laugh at this picture. So much fun. And LOOK at that face! You're adorable sweetie <3

Don't let the big bugs bite tonight! 

Tired..

I'm so tired. Always tired.

That's not true, but I am tired right now. Had another nice day today, and I like my group of ducklings I think. (Read yesterdays post if you don't get it)

Had to take photos today, to have on our student id. I did a lot of weird faces, so the lady got a bit upset with me. Made everyone else laugh though ;)

Afterwards me and a girl from my group ran up to the bus so we wouldn't miss it, and we just barely made it. I swear to God, that hill is going to KILL me this winter. So we went down town and just walked around a bit, until I met a friend of mine, so we talked for a while, until I walked towards the bus stop, to meet another of my friends.

It's fun how it is 171 161 people here, and I still manage to bump into people I know ALL the time! I love it <3 
It was good to see Tj again. (Click on her name and check out her blog if you're Norwegian, she have a contest going on!) Always great to meet up with her :)

In about 30 minutes, Anne turns 19. Whoopedidoo! I feel so old sometimes, even though I'm only two years older xD

Oh, and did I mention last post? MY SCHOOL WAS A FREAKING MENTAL HOSPITAL UNTIL 1990!
And check this out, the first patient? A TEACHER xD (Which is bloody funny since it now is a school who educates teachers and silent language people.)

And the poor bastard was admitted at 33 years old (in 1872), because he had pulled away from his students and his young wife, in the belief that the tuberculosis he had would spread. But at that time, it was believed that tuberculosis was something you were born with, and so they deemed him to bee insane and with obsessive thoughts. So he was there for six months until they brainwashed it out of him. Of course he left the mental hospital/ asylum with tuberculosis, and died a while later. 

The poor man was locked up there because he believed in something, (THAT PROVED TO BE RIGHT) but since it wasn't known at the time, nobody listened to him.

PIC OF THE DAY:

Doesn't look that cosy, does it? 

But according to the history teacher, what for us seems like a doom, for them felt like relief. Well... as relieved as an insane man can feel. And the museums guide, actually WORKED there! He was like 82 years old, and ultra awesome. He told us about how mentally challenged people in the 1800 were practically locked up, because no one handled it, and that it was basically up to his or her family. So they just put them in the stable or something, tied up with a rope.

Doesn't sound so appealing, right?

But on the farm (which it was before it became an asylum) they got to work and even though it was hard work, the people working there at least tried to keep them occupied. And if they worked hard, they were calmer in the evening. 

Sorry about the history lesson, but it was actually kind of interesting when he told us about it, he was a really good professor! To bad I don't take history. Yet at least. 

Sweet dreams my lovlies <3

Where the streets have no name..

The clock is about 23.30 as I write this, and my eyes keep dropping so I'm not going to pretend that this is going to be the greatest thing you'll ever read.

I just got back from a party with one of my gaffers (or whatever the hell it's called in English). I started school today you see. But we have something, that's called fadderuka, which if I translate it badly, Norwegian style becomes gaffers-week. (Don't think that's even remotely close to the actual name, but I'm too tired to care.)

Basically it's a week, well two weeks, where we party and get to know our new fellow students. We're divided into groups, and students, who are starting their second year is our gaffers (?!?). So they take care of us and herd us along to greatness. (Yeah Right).

The party was kind of cool though, and I don't have to be at school until 12.15 tomorrow, and since I dropped the actual party and only went to the pre-party I get loads of sleep. AND I NEED THAT.

The people, gaffers, persons... Are called Quak! xD Funny name, and of course they have a duck mascot. So we're the little ducklings just trudging along.

Anyways.. Off to bed now, sooooo tired!

Pic of the day (not mine, but I was there!):

It was of course POURING down with rain and we stood there for hours. HOURS I TELL YOU!

Whoaaaa... Starting to sound a little bit maniac now... Going to bed. 

Sweet Dreams <3

Ps: I actually forgot to write about the title. Where the streets have no name, is originally a U2 song, which I'm sure many of you have heard. But 30 Seconds to Mars (I know, I know... I obsess over them daily, get over it) covered it for their MTV Unplugged show, and I can't get it out of my head! Listen to it!!!!! :D

Sweet Dreams <3<3 (For real this time)

Forever Aloooone

So I'm sitting alone, in my room. Bored out of my mind actually.

Anne is off partying with her new fellow students, but since I have to get up kind of early in the morning, and I've slept terribly bad, the last few days. Well not bad. I just wake up stupidly early in the morning!

So I drank a cup of hot chocolate and watched a couple of episodes of Long Way Round. Seriously fun motorcycle show, where Ewan McGreggor and Charlie Boorman travels around the world on motorbikes.
I'm officially starting tomorrow. Kind of weird, but good also, because these last couple of days have been all about chilling and meeting people.

I went for a run today though, almost 20 km. Haven't done that in a while.
It was pouring down with rain as well! But that's how I like it. At least when I'm running.
Normally I wouldn't run so long, but I kind of lost my way since I'm not known here, so it was kind of more of an adventure than a normal run.

Spent a lot of time today, talking with one of the girls we're sharing kitchen with. She and I sat there for about an hour after Anne left. It was fun, and we kind of have the same view on a lot of things, so we get along rather well.

I'm kind of pissed off right now though, because the loan people have done a mistake, and I have to get this thing from the Police, so that the professors know I haven't molested children or done drugs or stuff like that. And OF COURSE, there was something wrong so I had to apply AGAIN.

NOT FUN :(

So now I have to wait even longer, and they use A LOT of time on processing it. It sucks. And it usually happens to me, so maybe in a way I should be used to it. But no. Aaaaarg.

Alexander called today though, from Scottland, since he's there working. Lightened the evening a little. He's a little sweetheart he is, despite his bad boy look and his ability to get into fights. I miss him.

my lovely hot chocolate that I drank alone.
