Update Betches!

it's 11am and i am sitting in the library, i have been here since before 9am! ..... i figure most of you just fainted from reading those words so i shall give you a little bit of time to compose yourselfs!



Better? good! so yes i have decided to give up on my slacker ways and make one final push in the hope of securing a semi decent grade for my degree. gone are the days of lazing around in bed instead of going to classes, drinking myself into a stupor the day before an exam!  And essays shall no longer be thought about, planned and completed the night before hand in da....who am i kidding!? instead of dilligently highlighting relevent passages for my dissertation, i am instead staring out of the window at a grey and foggy Bergen, checking my facebook and tumblr every five minutes and sneaking little bites of my forbidden rosinboller, but i am in the library and that has to be a start right!?

Sunday at the cinema ( Tamara Drewe)

so apparently there is an unwritten rule in norway that everyone goes to the cinema on sunday evenings. I went along thinking it would be pretty quiet and i could just chill and watch a nice film eat some popcorn and then come home, no stress! ha boy was i wrong!

 I got to the cinema around 18:30 and it was packed to the rafters, thankfully i had bought my ticket online so all i had to do was get it from the little machine and then i popped back out over to 7 eleven because there was no way i was going to try and navioigate though the cinema shop it was crazy crowded.

Day One at the Cabin

The journey up to the cabin was long and surprisingly silent. Tom Ian was suffering from a bad hangover so slept most of the way and I was far too busy watching the amazing scenery go by to be bothered to wake him up and talk his ear off.
The drive went almost without a hitch, except for the slight traffic jam we encountered due to someone driving off of the road further up. Luckily Tom (Tom Ian's father) noticed other cars were driving around the jam and we decided to follow them. An excellent move, we skipped the traffic and drove on to Voss.
We didn't really stop in Voss, so I can't realistically strike it from my list, but we did briefly stop at the Rema1000 to stock up on supplies. Once we had them, it was back in the car and on to the cabin! Hooray!

Pepperkakehus!

I går var jeg med Jeanette.

Yesterday i finally met up with Jeanette

Etter at vi traff hverandre på nesttun, drog vi på lagunen.

After we met each other at Nesttun we caught the bus to lagunen .

Hun kjøpte julegaver til venninene sine, og jeg fikk en liten ting også.

She bought christmas gifts for her friends and i got a little something also. 

Sleep Deprived!

I am a right stresshead at the moment which means my sleeping patterns have become far too eratic. pair that with far to many drunken advantures with Nicole, Corrine, Ida and many others and i am one sleep deprived kitten!
so at the moment i am trying to riide out the sleep train in order to re set my body clock at least untill the weekend. i really need to sort my life out because i have exams coming up in less than a month and i am really not ready :(


Things i have enjoyed over the past week or so;

• halloween at hulen
• seeing shining at hulen
• moulin rouge party (essentially getting to dress up like a slut)
• making a ton of new friends 
• my new norwegian class! it is so much easier to follow

Things i am looking forward to in the coming weeks;

• lunsj at Inside with Nicole
• more hulen times
• first evening working at hulen
• adventures - fantoft stave church here we come ;)

Things i am not looking forward too;

• a 5000 word take home exam! excuse me what now!? 5000 words!? that is almost as much as my bloody dissertation!
• my bloody dissertation!
• an oral literature exam for which i have read none of the required books :(
• basically anything to do with exams!

THE THING I AM MOST EXCITED ABOUT! CHRISTMAS hells yeah! i cannot actually wait... so far it seems to be looking like it will consist of cabins! snow! gingerbread cities! amazing people!  how could it actually get better?
