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
