Today I used the words occurred, poignant and ambivalent in my English essay. Hopefully my teacher will marvel at my vocabulary instead of thinking me pompous and show-off-y.

I had my first driving lesson today. I apparently can't clutch to save my life, and I pity the cars that was behind me.

I found out that they are planning a Les Miserables ( Read more... )

I have too much shit on my flist. And by that I don't mean you guys, you are all amazing- I mean all the comms that I don't really read any more. My time has become more limited and I spend way too much time trying to catch up on my flist. I think I'll have to go and remove some of the more boring communities ( Read more... )

I thought I might update you on my life, since I do swear I have done other things than discover Inception. I promise ( Read more... )

My exam went nothing as I expected it too, but I came out mostly unscathed! I didn't need my manuscript at all, but I forgot to mention a lot, but it went pretty well. They said that I explained things very well, and my English was good. I got a 5. Second best grade. Which I'm very happy about ( Read more... )

So exams are hard everyone! Really, really hard. And you know, the traitorous lazy part of my brain keeps whispering: "You have all of tomorrow and all of Monday to work on too. No need to stress now." Bitch, leave me alone. I need to work! !

I have another question for you, concerning my topic: Do you have parents who have profiles on Facebook ( Read more... )

I "got up" in English for my oral exam. (That's what we call it in Norwegian, to come up in a subject.) I am so pleased, you have no idea. English is without a doubt my strongest subject and now I have a real shot at getting a 6. I got The Media as my subject and this is my approach:

What influence do social networking sites have on our society? ( Read more... )

There's three weeks left of school, and suddenly I got a buttload of work to do. Yesterday I got the offer to try and change my English grade from a 5 to a 6; which I of course took. So now I'm making a presentation about the UK General Election. I think I'm doing ok, but I'm performing it tomorrow, so I'm real nervous ( Read more... )

Today I have been to the American Embassy in Oslo. The security there is ridiculous. Who the fuck would try and bomb/terrorize an embassy in Norway? No one. Other than the thirty minutes we stood outside in the cold sunshine while they checked us, it was a very enjoyable trip. Apparently, we impressed the embassy lady with all our knowledge of ( Read more... )

I am having a brilliant day, even though I'm so very tired. I had norwegian exam today and I ended up writing a eight page long fantasy short-story. First I decided to write a modern fairy-tale (I was going to have the girl save the prince and everything!) but then I realised that it would take much more time than I had (only had five hours), so ( Read more... )
