or something
:)
fiskekake og sjokoladekake!!!
first hours in Norway:
- laura does not show up at the airport
- the bus stop at Fantoft looks rather empty, as laura does not even bother picking me up from there, either
- laura finally shows up – crippled
- I am dragged along to some stranger’s bedroom to pick up a mattress, and obviously faint there – an amazing experience which I will never forget
- I get fed with mouldy bread and FUCKING sweet water – diabetic style
- I feel that there is some rather disgusting soaking wet toilet paper (hopefully not used) on my forehead
- We then proceed to L’s room, where I am fed (again), this time with sticky rice and soy sauce – at least laura’s cooking skills are getting better by the hour
these are my first impressions of Beautiful Bergen..
jeg er sulten:(
yes but I am too lazy to go to the supermarket to buy some food soooo…. I guess I will starve some more.
I am excited about azzls (7 hours to go), sad because I don’t want to think about all the cool people that are leaving at the end of the semester.. kind of disappointed and at the same time satisfied with myself because my workspace doesn’t look like a mess anymore.Today is a big long day of randomness (paperwork and answering emails) and the academy is really kind of empty and there’s not much to tell, really..
Other than seeing a procession of people with fake halos on their heads, singing, on the 8th floor this morning… and smelling cake
the snow here glitters
I’m still tired and I want chocolate..
On my way home last night I remembered why I came here in the first place. It hit me on my first trip to Norway that the sky is so different, like the stars are brighter here, your vision is clearer. I’m finding it hard not to walk with my nose up in the air.. With a sky full of stars like this one, I don’t think anybody could ever misunderstand the concept of a constellation. I had a walk halfway around the lake, the surface was a thin layer of ice so smooth and amazing.
When you experience nights like that, you don’t want to see the sun again.
So, anyway, there’s half a day still to go before my semester evaluation, and I’m sitting at the academy drinking tea (not coffee, surprised, much?) doing anything but work, which is okay..I’m looking forward to an early night, proper food, and a book. or a movie.
come hug me, please :)
it’s about time..
..I experienced my first B-Blokk fire alarm! just great.
at least I wasn’t sleeping, which is good, wouldn’t have liked to look like the 99% of student population outside (angry sleepy eyes, nighties and flip flops).
I was just annoyed because my tea got cold and I forgot to take my jacket.
grr.
so..I shall now resume my sleepless night.
:(
using emoticons to express emotions – rather than words – is overrated.
Then again, sometimes it works just right.
:/
Santa Claus
the weirdest thing I have seen in this city – okay, no. Not weird, but random – is the Christmas Tree that has been placed in the middle of the lake. No joke. first off, it’s weird because I can’t get myself to call that a “lake”.. it’s more of an oversized fountain, or a pool. And then that tree is just kind of small and .. creepy.
Almost as creepy as the mechanical and dancing Santas all around town.
8:54am
the morning was gorgeous.
the hills like unsaturated green,
and iced grass crackles under my footsteps..
robot vs. girl: the animal fight
robot: right: top 5 favourite animals and reason why
girl: hm… okay.
penguins, because of the way they walk
donkeys, because they’re so much better than horses
hippos, because i once saw one in an enclosed space with an electric fence around it, and it made me really sad
robot: tigers, because they are so relaxed and powerfull at the same time
girl: dinosaurs, obviously, because well they’re cool and it would be so easy to give them a pair of sunglasses and a guitar and turn them into rockstars…
robot: badgers, because they are cool, and i saw a pair fighting once – evil
robot: wolves, because they are so smart
girl: oh and i like raccoons … but i’m not sure if i like them as much as bears
robot: turtles – because they are just cool
girl: OMG HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN TURTLES
robot: and wombats, because they have cute asses, and ravens, and salamanders are kinda cool too
girl: YES TURTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, it looks like turtles would SO win in a battle of the bands animals.
what’s your favorite animal?
PS: this has actually nothing to do with bergen or travelling at all, but whatever. ANIMALS!
London has our hearts
I decided to fly to London, partly because I knew that end of november would bring boredom, partly because I thought I couldn’t make it through my favorite month without seeing my favorite friend.
So. Sunday night is just pure enjoyment, randomness and champagne which we drank on the way to our favorite neighborhood (Brockley). I was introduced to Jonny and his bunny. (I was trying to find a way to formulate this – I just love the rhyme, don’t you?)
Monday was walking around, almost sightseeing, hanging out in a park by myself reading Miss Chopsticks by Xinran, then hiding in a bookstore for more books books books, coffee + boyspotting.
waterloo station!
trees are friends
Monday was also cool because we went to the water rats to see soko, who was wonderful, and then we flew to the barfly just on time to catch verdena before they got on stage. They were amazing, just like the last time I saw them…
Azzls is random
so am I
thank you Helen
