Finally.... as you wish, my wheels:)

I took these with my phone, so pardon the quality:) Not ever sure if i`m allowed.. Here it is, my office for the last five weeks. Tomorrow`s my last day, hurrah!! I`ve got next week off, and then two weeks in the warehouse.
It`s an ok job though, i sit and listen to the radio while i make the place cleaner. The thing about it that i don`t like, is that i`m all alone.. I drive all day, alone.. Luckily there are other cool people around that jump in occasionally to keep me company, that really brightens up the day. One more thing, the road sweeper, my baby, is slowly falling apart. I won`t go technical on you (cause i don`t know how to), but out of twelve "shelves" to pick up the dust, there`s five left.. in five weeks, i`ve lost five or was it six? hmmm.. anyway, while they fix it, i get to be social, so i`m allright with it. It`s not like it`s my fault:)


This is me, like my shades? You don`t get to see my supercool trousers or the high street steel tipped shoes, they are soooo pretty:)

And then, this is a part of the hall where i drive during the day. My mission is to sweep up all the black dust that fills my nose, ears and leaves a grey layer everywhere. I really wonder what my lungs look like right now.

Rain, rain and rain....

It`s raining again... Watching the weather forecast is too depressing, it`s not like they have any good news.. However, yesterday the sun crept out from it`s hiding place, and planted a tiny hope in me and saying, "it`s ok, love, i`ll be back later. When you don`t have to work all day and you can enjoy me!" Even though i know it`ll be back, it`s so hard to believe it when i look the window. It`s wet and windy, very wet and windy!!
But, i choose to focus on the positive things!; Like the fact that electricity will be cheaper this autumn, the sound of rain is quite nice when you`re inside, some plants are happy (some are drowning) and, i think about late August:) When i move my stuff to Kristiansand!!! It`s gonna be sooo good!!
Some of this student stuff is tying a tight knot in my tummy, because it`s a bit scary! I haven`t received grades for a while, what if i can`t do this!?! Blahblahblah, no, it`s gonna be ok:) But, i do like the thought of filing papers, new pens, sharpened pencils, meeting new people, trip to London, finding a volleyball team, being a student (finally a student discount card), new church, new friends + +


Ok, this is what i want to show you; My new computer!!!! HURRAH!!! i ordered it today, isn`t he beyoootifull?? (i decided that it`s a "he")I`m trying out a "man-car" relationship:) His name is: HP Pavilion dv6391 Intel Core2Duo T5600 I don`t know anything about computers, but it does sound good!!
So, this will take all my focus off the rain, and soon i`ll be writing posts from my new and shiny laptop!

Yeah, i`ve finished bragging now:)

Back in the days

 

Look what i found! Haha, I`m sitting on the other pc, the one i hardly use, and i found this. I`ts a bit blurry, i scanned it years ago! This is in 2003, the end of the second year at boarding school:) We were on the second floor of the beautiful building behind us. My room was right above my classroom, great when you`re running late! The walls were so thin i could hear Merethe snoring in the night, haha, I actually miss it! My fantastic x-roomie!!
The lovely girls are; Merethe, Silje, Jorun, Elisabeth, Kristin (not me), Marie, Bjørg Marit, Marianne, Maigi and Me! Hope you`re all doing well!!

To be or not to be....

After neglecting my blogg for several months, i decied to put it to sleep. My two years of different cultures, new countries, culture shocks, food you didn`t know was food, the everlasting excuse of being a foreigner, expensive long distance calls, expressions you don`t understand, humour out of another world and abnormal everyday life, is over. For the first time in my life, i`m gonna be a student, a completely normal student. I love the sound of it!
Then again, after the decision, i started having doubts.. Should i really give up blogging? It is a great way of sharing thoughts, memories and keeping people up to date, if they want to know.. No, it`s not an easy decision!

While pondering about this, i can announce that i am HOME! I returned on the 20th of june, it was a day of joy:) The last month in London was sad, since i knew i was leaving a buch of jolly good people, but i was ready to move on and do something new. I can`t see myself staying three years in Kristiansand after all this travelling, but i`ll give it a go. I sound old when saying this, but i`d like to settele down for a while.
Anyway, after a few days of doing nothing exept enjoying having the house to myself, i went back to my summerjob. I`m back in the road sweeper. It`s an ok job, and it brings in the doh!

I LOVE being back by the ocean!! Walking on the beach, the fantastic scent, sand between your toes, seashells, late nights with blankets and listening to the waves washing away secrets written in the sand.. There is so much beautiful to see, i just tend to forget taking a look around me!

So, life or death? Should i keep blogging, or is it about time i save people from my horrible journalism? I might listen to you, or not:)
