So summer finally arrived, at least for one day. To celebrate I decided to get off the bus two stops early on my way home, and walk the rest of the way in the heat and sunshine. It was kinda awesome.

Two hours later, my skin is all “YEAH THAT WAS SOME DECENT SUN BUT I AM GOING TO ( Read more... )

I’ve just come home from handing in my exam paper, which I finished around 2:30 this morning. Then I slept for 3 hours, got up, went to the office to polish the paper and print it, and went to hand it in.

When I got home I started closing all the tabs I had open in Firefox, and seeing ( Read more... )

Although not literally. If you thought that, prepare to be disappointed.

Anyway.

I’m currently working on obligatory assignment #1 for this term’s studies. The class is about genocide, and my paper/presentation is about the Jewish refugees to Sweden during WW2. The paper needs to be 5 ( Read more... )

I just went ahead and changed stuff so that my Norwegian blog is now on the front page. I’m sure some of you noticed. If stuff works the way I think it does, those of you reading by RSS feed shouldn’t be affected at all. I think.

Oh dear, I feel so silly for writing “please read” in the title. But the thing is, I need you all to please read. Yes, I’m looking at you, 2-3 people who read my blog.

That is not an exact number, by the way. The stats site I used decided to “go pro” and suddenly wanted an obscene ( Read more... )

I read a lot these days. Reading for me comes and goes - some periods of time I have my nose stuck in a book all the time, other periods I don’t read at all (besides the reading I have to do, of course).

Right now I read a lot. And I read many books at the same time, which I never ( Read more... )

(Heh, I almost named this post “great leap forward”, but reconsidered after realising where I had the phrase from…)

This is almost old news now, but I realised I’d only blogged about it in Norwegian. And old or not, it’s BIG news. For me, at least.

If everything goes as it should, I’ ( Read more... )

Lotta tagged me, and as I’ve been into reading lately, it was too good to pass up. :)

The rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends ( Read more... )
