So, Uni is going quite well so far. I'm a bit unsure of some things and there are other small problems but all in all, nothing has come crashing down yet. Summer job, on the other hand, is proving once again to be problematic. As in, I can't get one. Which makes living a bit difficult since I really don't want to take a loan. None of this is made ( Read more... )

So, America markets itself as the land of liberty and freedom.

Excuse me while I laugh.

On Wednesday Kansas apparently passed a bill that allows any organisation to deny service from same-sex couples based on religous beliefs. Since I don't know that much about the technicalities of USA legislation, I'm not exactly sure if this is a law yet, ( Read more... )

The first three weeks of Uni are behind me and so far, so good. The workload is slowly starting to show, although most of it has fortunately been just reading and maybe answering a few short questions. Also, I feel like I ought to have way more lectures than I do, but my points seem to be adding up so I'm letting them be as they are. At least for ( Read more... )

I try not to take sides (at least, not politically) in the whole "Western World vs. Arab countries" that's going on, because I do kind of understand most of the points both sides have. But then sometimes I stumble upon some piece of news that just has me going like what? They can't be for real, can they?Like the Norwegian woman who was working for ( Read more... )

Sheez, I got a scare the other day! Woke up in the morning and livejournal had frozen my account! I hadn't gotten any messages or anything about it and I seriously freaked out for a bit there. I mean, I've been hanging around for... three, four years or something? And this is basicaly my diary! Okay, not my diary but still, I don't want this ( Read more... )

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

*facedesk-on-a-repeat*

I screwed up. I so screwed up.

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Did I understand right and Megaupload is down? I woke up half and hour ago and the news here - definitely not the U.S.! - says that Megaupload has been taken down and some of it's workers/owners have been arrested for copyright infringement. Is the site really done for? Does anybody know?

And dear Lord, if any of those bills passes! From where I'm ( Read more... )

I'm not from U.S. but seriously - even a naive greeney like me can see that this is bad. If you are from U.S. and have any sense of freedom and rights, please, do whatever it is that people can do around there to stop this. Below is as someone else said it.

You know, I've been doing this for - what? - ten years or something like that, and somehow the exams still get me unprepared. You'd think I would've gotten the hang of it and started studying early by now.

Well, obviously I haven't.

Sigh. I have a really bad feeling about my Russian test (which is on Wednesday and please, I really don't want to be ( Read more... )
