Rett før en nattevakt

Er det alltid så mye som skulle ha vært gjort. Man skulle jo ha støvsugd gulvet, og kanskje vaska litt over flatene på kjøkkenet. Og så er det jo det gjerdet som skulle ha vært reparert og malt (men hvorfor ber opphavet meg om å levere tilbake den nyinnkjøpte malinga?) samt inngangspartiet som behøver både en runde med grunning og maling. Dessuten finnes det klær som skal opp på tørkesnora nå som sola plutselig dukka opp etter 6 uker i eksil i Sverige.

Ja, sol! Hurra! Kanskje på tide å gjøre leggene sommerklare og finne fram solsenga likevel? Men først må jeg handle inn reker, blåskjell og loff til morgendagens rekefest før jeg drar på jobb klokka ti i kveld. Håper sola har tenkt å bli værende her i noen dager nå, vi behøver den!

Sommerjobb

Det er ganske ok å ha en sommerjobb som består i å se på TV 9 timer i løpe av natten og få dobbelt betalt for det.. :)

At jeg ikke søkte om nattvakter før!?

Big plans!

I love projects. This summer I started several new ones. First of all I hopefully managed to secure myself summer jobs at the local hospital for the rest of my study time. (I also worked at the local eldery home, but it was a bit hard for my back.. But at least I got to know a handfull of very nice coworkers there.)

Second, I bought myself a bunad, the national costume in Norway. Why a project? Well: I have to stitch it together myself. And I promise you, that's a long lasting project! Hopefully, I will be finished to the next constitution day in may 17th, 2011.. Maybe!

I'm of course knitting a lot of baby clothes (no, having a baby is not one of my projects this year..), both my brother with family and a very good friend of me is expecting a baby during this academic year.

Then I started a new round of medical examinations after the head and back trauma I got in czech republic two years ago. This time I got some more results and some clear advise this time. I've started more directed physical therapy and will probably start on some medications who will help me controlling my days and study ability. I have to stay in hospital for a week or three in short time, the insurance company need some more data on my health after the traffic accident, now when the two year limit for determinding long term damage is reached.

Fifth, I and a class mate has been talking about a journey during this winter. Maybe only for a weekend, but as my sister stated last year "de e turan som telle!".

And the last one. I'm still the head of ANSA Sweden (Association of Norwegian Students Abroad). That means that I have to travel around Sweden and meet some of the members here, and arrange some social events.

And, of course, there are allways other grand plans. I think I'm better and more like my old me, even if I still have my ups and downs.

Last final this semester

Is now over. I believe I passed, so I won't bring any books home over the summer. Only two weeks until I know the results, though.

I'm gonna work a lot this summer, I need spear money for my last academic year. Have to start saving now!

Loosing my language

I have a hard time trying to make interresting post on my blog. I love to write, but I have a problem. I feel like I'm loosing the english language. It is because I dont speak english at a everyday basis. That means I can't really My language is now a strange mix of norwegian, swedish, english, latin with some czech words from now and then.

My class sometimes laugh a bit when I answer the questions asked in lectures. Last week my lecturer thought I said "jam" when the answer was "hunger". For the record; the norwegian word for hunger is "sult", whereas the swedish word for jam is "sylt".

Anyway, I'm considering to change language in my blog back to norwegian again. I don't know how many foreign/non-nordic readers I have. I have no idea..!

One week from now I have this term's last final. The subject is "Structure and function of the organs part II". Then I'll travel home and work at the local hospital and the elderly home for the whole summer. Hopefully, I'll go to my mother's birthplace for one week vacation in august and the last week in august will probably be used for some epilepcy tests at Umeå University Hospital.

Lightning and thunder

Isn't it strange? Today the sun rised at 03.32 am. It set at 21.41 and it is still dusk. In about a month (when i got my last final this semester), the night wil only last about 3 hours and 15 minutes, and it will be dusk the intire time.

The summer arrived yesterday, with lightning and thunder. My head gets quite heavy and sore before a thunder, so I knew it for quite some hours before the clouds gathered. Since my head doesn't work very well with thunder, my reading had to end quite early. And the telly and computer had to be off.. So what to do when the rain sweeps over my brand new windows? Well.. I found me myself some ice cream and sat in the sofa and watched the nature.

The rain washed away the very last patch of snow in our garden, and I woke up to the very first day of summer today. 22 degrees celsius, blue sky and a mild breeze. Of course had I to take my beloved Guyton & Hall outside and read in the garden.. The reading it self lasted for maybe 15 minutes, but ah. sunshine!

Anyway, I realized that my reading ability is not very great in the first summer day, so I went back inside. After a bit reading (about human growth hormone), some dinner and more reading, I got that "thundering" feeling again.. So I took a peek out the windows, the clouds seemed to have gathered again. But I also noticed a young man in the back yard, at the grill.. He had a plate of meet, a nice fire on the grill and probably a beer in his hand. Not so good timing, within 5 minutes the first raindrops landed, the guy looked a bit confused before he collected his stuff and leaved the back yard. I felt a bit sorry for him.

Hm.. I think I have to gather some classmates for a grill party before the semester ends.. And by the way, I got myself a summer job.. or actuall two! One on the local eldery home, and one at the regional hospital. :)
