It's been ages since I've written something. Before I started uni, and now I've decided to take a break. Maybe start again in February, maybe not. I have no idea where this will take me. I would love to go travelling. But I'm scared to do it alone. But maybe that's just what I need? I'm considering a "working holiday" in Australia for a few months. That would be great! But then there is the people at home in Norway that kinda has already decided I'm moving back there. Which is NOT going to happen, they just dont want to understand it. Which is really frustrating right now. The thing is I want to travel now. I don't want to wait til after my studies. Right now I have no responsibilities. No relationship, no kids, nothing. And I love it. I can actually just go travelling for a year if I want to. If I finish my studies now, I don't think I'm gonna go travelling. I think I will be having kids and setteling down soon after. Well maybe not soon, but still. Right now I know that I don't have anyone else to think about. It's just me. I just wanna go away, have time to myself, figure out what I want from my life. I think I just need a break from "the real life" as I know it. Which consists of studying, working, and not much else. There is so much more out there. So much to see, so much to do, so many things to learn, so many new people to meet, so many experiences I wouldn't want to be without. Even if I have no idea what it is! It's so tempting. Just go, leave everything behind. Be by myself, discover, grow. Just have time to think without having parents and relatives and friends all needing to have their opinion heard. I think I might actually do this. But still it is scary. Am I gonna survive all by myself in a strange country which is far away from home? I don't know....I don't know anything right now.....

08.09.2008

This is my last few days all by myself in the flat. It's quite nice being all alone, with my laptop and Johan's huge TV. So I'm sitting up all night watching news and playing bubble shooter. Maybe it's time to change this soon? I'll consider it..

So my to do list is getting longer and longer as the days go by. At the top of that list is getting a proper umbrella! Already have my pink wellies with hearts on. Need I get more girly? I think so!:)

The reason for the urgent need of an umbrella is ofcourse the lovely weather we've been having this summer. Where is the sun? Does it not excist in this country? There is so much about the UK I don't understand. Like, what IS a bank holiday? No one has been able to answer that yet! Everyone just says "oh..it's a national holiday". Yeah, I have figured that out. But WHY is it a national holiday? The first person able to explain this to me will get a price! Seriously!
And another thing. Advent calendars in SEPTEMBER? It's just not right!! I seriously saw several at Tesco today. Is it not a bit early? Does no one see this? We don't need to think about christmas now. We need to think about starting Uni and getting settled in to new or old routines after the summer. Not planning the christmas shopping and start stressing about the christmas cards we havent started yet! I'm feeling like starting a campaign to get them out of the shops until November. Anyone want to join me?


Although we all complain about the horrible summer weather here in the UK, I must admit one thing. I do love walking in the rain. Clearing my head or just chatting with a friend, like i did on Saturday night. Hot chocolate from Starbucks, discussions about China "town" and George W Bush and my extremly limited knowledge of films. I have to admit I'm a bit embarrased. I don't really know anything about it! The only thing I know is the names of some famous actors, and most of the time I have no idea which films they've been in. How awful is that? I really need to learn a bit more about it before I should allow myself to say that Mean Girls is a great film again (although it really is a great film! I just need to know how to say it!:P). And another good reason for knowing about films is ofcourse the weather. It's nothing better to do when it's pouring down outside, than sit in the sofa with some hot chocolate, friends and a GOOD film. So now it's up to me to find out what a good film is, and then I'm inviting everyone over for a movie and hot chocolate! :)
