(un)Intelligence

Today I woke up around 8am because Gizmo was crying uspstairs. He had to pee. And he also had a lot he wanted to do; play, bite, have a trip around the garden 3 times, pee indoors, bite more, cry more, and finally go to sleep after two hours. He's lucky he's dead cute, cause if not he'd never get away with such behavior.

Right now I should be cleaning my room, I should be packing and getting everything ready, I should be doing a lot of things. But I'm not in the mood to do anything. I'm too confused, and I don't think I've been like this before. So I decided to do some window-shopping; on the internet! One of my favorite hobbies. I can feel my scholarship lying on my bank account just crying to me to spend it on all those amazing things I see, but I wont, and feel pretty proud about it.

My wish list

A nice collection of tops and upper body garments. Lately I've been trying to steer away from the extreme colourful me that I was only a few months ago, and been falling more and more in love with smoother, earthlier colours. I want a more classical and relaxed style, but still gracious and feminine. 1 and 3 is something I would wear for a party or something festive. 1 appealed to the late colourful Sunny since it was sparkly and would attract attention but not screaming, while 3 would give a more rocked out look, look good with skinny jeans. 2 is a very fine coat, appropriate for early fall/spring. Outfits 4, 5 and 6 are all very close to the exact style I'm digging out from deep within myself. I'm not really a dress person (my body language isn't gracious enough for dresses yet), but I fell for exactly that one.


I've been wanting a blazer ever since we were in London during Easter. I really want one, so I'll have to get one sometime, I just have to find the right one. You know when you get the feeling in the store and you're just cruzin' and then suddenly a garment catches your eye and you know you have to get it. I want a blazer that gives me that feeling. I didn't fall for the colours of the blazer here (1) but the shape and length was very nice. 2 is something that would work good for me on my baggy-clothed days, just to spice it up and not go all black. 3 and 4 are accessories, which is always necessary. 5 is just a friggin rockin vest, a musthave. And 6 is an awesome cardigan. I really like cardigans because most of them look good both open and closed, which basically makes it a double outfit garment.


If I see blazer 1 in a store, I'll get the "this is made for me" feeling. I love it. Loooove it. I know summer is over but the top is just too cute to not make it to my wish list. And if the necklace doesn't say gracious and feminine I'm bound to have a hip-hoppy male style. Because to me it hardly gets more female. I'm a shoe-maniac, and those shoes/sandals just hit a home run with their awesomeness.


The colourful me isn't completely gone, and I've agreed with myself that small garments can be as colourful and sparkly as they want to as long as I tone the outfit down with more earthly colours. So number one gets a green light even though it's purple! I've been looking for something like 2 for a very long time, but every time I find something that looks good, it has something to ruin it, like bolts or some other crap. Bluh. And then we have a nice vest that looks very cute (I feel it would look good with a top I have recently bought). The bracelet is perfect, nothing more to it. And the dress just gave me that summer feeling so if I'll ever look good in a dress I'll own one of these.

Fact; in this post I've wrote the words garment 5 times and colour 7 times.

Cheers for now

Almost there

I can't believe it! I just can't! I don't know what to think, how to feel, I'm so confused, and a little bit stressed, but mostly excited! On Friday (today is Sunday) this time I'm on the airplane to Zurich about to commence on a completely new year! It seems like these last few months since I was accepted into the program has flown by me in hyper speed. It's both sad and amazing at the same time!
I just googled Switzerland, heha.

The super man

Last night around 1pm I returned from Sweden, where I have been swimming. It went alright, I was in better shape than I thought, but I wasn't really that motivated to train really hard, so I just tried having as much fun as I could. It was the last 10 days I got to spend with my boyfriend, who is no longer my boyfriend. I still care insanely about him, and many tears were shed both during the week and especially on the bus ride home last night. It's about a year until I get to see him again, and I know I'm gonna get used to the thought, but right now it just hurts. A whole lot and more than that.

This needs no caption

Anyways, pretty much everyday there was sunny (!my name!), filled with laughter, swimming and great people. The trainer for KSLK and Norodd IL is probably one of the people in the world I respect the most, and I'm not the only one. There was however a very, very special man I got to see, hear about and admire during this camp: Anders Olsson. Here and you can find out more about him, it can be translated to English so anyone can read it. What I can tell you though, is that closer to Superman is hard to get. This man is paralytic from his waist down, but still has 55 world records in swimming. He swims with only his arms and he can do the most amazing things. He is pure inspiration. The things this man has managed to do is worthy history and he has surely written his name in it.

Superman

Right now I've started packing a little bit more seriously for Swiss, and even though I had beforehand made a plan about what I was gonna do everyday until my departure, I've decided to enjoy my last few days here and just get up early everyday so that I can get things done. Tonight I'm going to a girl in my class where all the girls are gathering to have a good time. I have to socialize myself and get my mind on different thoughts because I'm still very upset, and I don't expect it to be okay for a while. Have to just keep myself busy.

Gizmo

We have a new pup! His name is Gizmo and he has stolen my heart (not enough for me to stay, though)! We got him this Friday (so two days ago) and he has problems sitting still very long if there's more than one person around. And he's so great, he's charming and clumsy and playful and a fast learner. I can't wait for me to come home to this wonderful and house-trained dog!




And here's a photo of some people who stole my heart a long time a go; a few of my best friends (actually almost 50% of them because I'm a very, very lucy person) on my party-thing last night. I had a great time, but then again I always do when I'm with these girls (who are more than only the beautiful girls (and me with the purple hat) on the photo)!


Tomorrow (Tues) I'm leaving for a training camp in Sweden where I'll be gone for about 11 days. So when I get home I'll be stressed way above my potential with lots of things to do and only a few (probs emotional) nights left before I leave for Oslo and then Switzerland. I'm sooooo excited! Can't even begin to describe how excited I am!

For you, three songs I'm very into at the moment


Cheers for now

New, neu, nouveau

22 days left. Or actually 11 since I'm gonna be 11 days in Sweden before I leave (I leave for Sweden in 4 days), and I've started packing. It's so far just a tiny nightmare, but I haven't begun on all my tops and favourite garments yet, so I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a hell of a nightmare when I get that far..

Have in mind that I started braiding on Monday, so I feel I've got the hang of it pretty good! And it saves me a hell of a lot of money doing it for myself too!

Apart from that I have a new hobby; Macramé! No, I'm not braiding long carpets or anything, I'm trying to make decent necklaces, bracelets and ankle bracelets! And my friends are back home, so I finally feel like I've got a life again (although the sleeping too long and staying up too long is unaltered)! And bigbigbig news; We're getting a puppy! Tomorrow! It's supposed to be a Sunny-substitute while I'm in Switzerland. I'm not sure if I should look upon it as if they need something to replace my natural cuteness, or all my barking. I've got my fingers crossed on the first.

This is the race we're having, but different from this dog here (googleled) ours is all black. I don't know the race in English, but it's a schnauzer! And I've come up with the winning name proposition; Gizmo!

Cheers for now

So my departure is closing up with lightning speed. Today it's 27 days until I'm leaving, actually, in 27 days I'll be in Switzerland. But I like to think that it's 17 days, because from the 4th to the 15th I'll be gone to swim in Sweden for about 10 days. 32 hours of swimming. Heah, and I've barely been exercising properly all summer, so I'm sorta trying to kick my body back to reasonable fitness and I'm positive since todays run was twice as easy as yesterdays even though I did the exact same route.


What it should say here is; why the EU want's Norway as a member.

Annnnywhooo
Yesterday I had a very delightful message. I've received a scholarship (I have no other word for scholarship but in Norway a scholarship doesn't work the same way they do in American teen movies)! I was expecting to get something in between 20-30K but noooh. I received 43K. Which is a lot. Calculated to euros it's almost 4800 euros. And my face was all happy and shit. Because this puts me in a very good financial situation - something of which I haven't been in for.. well, never! Woop woop!

This was my face when I received the email.

Now that that's alright, I'm a lot more chilled before I leave because the only thing I've got left is saying goodbye to people and packing. To be honest I'm more concerned about the packing... (not because I love material good more than my friends and family, but because I'm returning to these people so they can chill out. While what I bring will be crucial!) so I've started thinking about what to bring/what not to bring.

Look at this cute cub! I want one! I'll probably have to settle for a stuffed teddy version, which isn't as cute, but again it won't kill me.

Now if this doesn't melt your heart and makes you wanna hug it, then we can't be best friends. Ever.


This is Zante, some island somewhere in the world, where I'll someday lie on the beach and be like; "shit I'm livin it"


These lists are more for me than for you, watch the pretty pictures if you're bored


To bring:
-Clothes
•Warm clothes
•Expensive clothes (like my raincoat, skiing jacket(which is supercool and the most expensive garment I own))
•Favourite garments
•Some nice outfits
•All of my pants (because I've grown accustomed to them and buying new underwear sux)
•Four pairs of shoes (I've made the difficult decision of leaving my fav shoes behind - mostly because they've started to fall apart)
•My favourite hat
•Stuck between bringing two or five light jackets.. I know it's smart having some light jackets, and I really don't need more than perhaps two, but they match different things. I'll probably end up meeting myself halfway and bring three!
-Other
•My favourite books (well, some of them.. and two books about Norway with lots of pictures in them to show people how similar our landscape is)
•A variety of my favourite CD's and DVD's
•My Mac (ilu), Ipod (ilu), camera (you're alright) and chargers for all these fckrs.
•Gifts for my host family, but I've yet to find out what this will bee. Hm

Ever since I saw this photo almost a year ago, I think this is one of the sexiest men alive.



Not to bring - even though I really want to:


-My entire closet.. *weeps*
-Misc hair products like hairspray, hairgel++
I wanna bring these monkeys!


Yuss..

Cheers for now
