Departures creeping up on us

I just cannot believe that the time of people leaving us has come already... tomorrow Luke is heading back to the US again, leaving us all behind to miss him. :'( All good things must come to an end they say. Bullshit.

Joseph Luke List's last day in Wellington. No more singing in the corridors, no more handstands in weird places. We went to see his play last night, "black sequin dress." I was really surprised I must say, because in a way I thought that I wouldn't like it. But I loved it. :) It was really me, all the deluded thinking and fantacies, all the repeating of moments and so on... It was very weird but it made absolute sence in a way. Hard to explain, and most people don't agree at all. I'll miss Luke.

It's all about music

Rediscovering my roots these days. While surfing on the net I suddenly discovered that my fav. radio show is still alive and well, and available on netradio! BLISS!!!

The show is called DJ Friendly, and is mostly chill out and ambient music. I've been listening to it every day now since I found out that I could. And I've discovered soo many great bands and artists... Weekend Players, Federico Aubele, JazzAmor, even Air! I never knew how nice their first album was until I heard some of the songs that weren't singles. I've got to get myself an Mp3player ASAP. Soo happy these days still. And tomorrow everyone will be available at last! All essays are done! Except for poor Joanne who has a test on Saturday. : / My symphathy.

I want my money! They say that it can take up to two months.. that's making me really paranoid. I need to go shopping soon... Well, in worst case sceario I'll get money on the 15 of june.. so hehe, three more weeks. Better just stay focused on my exams for now, and then when I'm done with them I can CELEBRATE HARD!!!

Welli on my mind

I just read it in the newspaper, so it's official: Norway is the second most expensive country in Europe when it comes to clothes and shoes, next to Iceland. Kinda weird to think about, I think that shoes down here are sooo expensive, but maybe they aren't? Which means: I can shop shoes with a good consciense!!! Yeah!

Some guy was convicted for murder because one of his victims had written about him in a blog. So: Keep up the blogging folks! never know when you'll need it. ;)

This really is the last week b4 our exams. I just wanna daydream all day long.. *sigh* walk around with music on my ear and look at all the weird ppl and houses in Welli, I'm soo happy that I'm spending at least 3 years here. It feels like home now, safe ol' Welli. It's almost as though nothing bad could ever happen here. Sure, there could be an earthquake that erases the city off the map, but apart from that, it feels like the city is holding us in its palms and would never let anything bad happen. That's pretty special for a large (in norwegian terms) city. I must be in love. :)

serious shopping cravings now...

Revising has started. The thought of my exams make me feel like doing this:

Exams should be fine though. They are still some way away.. my first exam is on the 4. of June. Ages away! heh heh.. Everyone else are pretty busy though. I just wanna play, and noone has time for that. That's life. So I've been walking around Welli instead, getting loads of exercise and spacing out ever more and more. It's not healthy, I need some human contact soon or I'm going to end up in a mental institution unable to get back down on earth. I'm just dreaming about my new room and the new neighbours, two extra fights of stairs and perhaps a better view? The promised land, third floor. Even though there is an alcohol ban nowadays that probably just means that everyone will be running around screaming all day. If you ask me I'll say that that is no better at all. For those of you reading who don't know this: Kiwis start uni the year they TURN 18. What a whaste. I'm sure the NZ government is paying heeps extra money just cause a ton of kids don't know what they want and are dropping out or changing courses after the first trimester. Or simply drink so much that they have to repeat the first trimester. There is just no control whatsoever in these kids, they're like goldfish. Give them too much booze and they'll still drink till it's empty... *sigh* I guess the alcohol culture is the same at home, but at least we go crazy like this before we finish high-school. Yeeep. I'm the grumpy old granma on this floor. They're interrupting my naps! Damn young hooligans! Kids nowadays... Not in my days!

Mattis

Hello, I'm Mattis, and I'm Tina's roommate. I was hand made on New Zealand, so I'm a kiwi-lizard. She bought me on one of her first days here, so I've been with her most of her stay on New Zealand.
My job here is to gard the room, and to gard the computer. And today, I'm writing Tina's blog, as she wanted to have a rest. What is nice about being her roommate is that she takes me with her outside sometimes. :) That is great! I've been around Wellington several times, and I've been to Napier once. She even took me to the Carter Observatory! That was totally awesome... We saw the Tarantula Nebula, and a cluster of stars in the southern cross, and the moon! I've never seen anything that beautiful before in my life. She is also great company whenever she is in her room. I get to rest on the computer and soak up the heat. ^_^

Well, I'd better get back to garding the room. With all the funny people that come through here it can be a very demanding job at times. Better rest while I can.

:soundtrack: mr. fingers - "can you feel it"

I really have to get a pair of red socks...
My spacing out is beginning to interfear with my school work. Today has been such a good day, just walking around the city on the hunt for a sportsbag with Kuni and the gang.. :) Sleeping in... Actually had a good nights sleep for once. My voice is back! My friends must get sick of hearing me talk non stop.. ;D

*space out*

Shooes... *drool*

I want to go flatting NOW!! It would be soo cool... One of the things that I love about flatting is nesting, making a great atmosphere to live in. It becomes your own nest, the safe place where you can hide from all the world. And you know who's been in your bathroom! The bathroom history here is really getting legendary.. I just had to take this photo to make an example of how disgusting the people that live on this floor can be... Another reason to rejoyce the day that I can move up to the third floor!! Even though that floor has an overload of guys and they have a bit of a poor aim...

Today it's been raining a lot and it's windy, and its making me SO homesick! It's really just like an early autumn day at home... leaves are turning red and brown and the wind is warm although it's raining and I should be feeling shitty, but really it just makes me love the city even more. Such a homy and friendly city. ^_^
I saw a box set of "the secret life of us" today.. I WANT IT! I don't need it.. but yea I want it. Now that I sent my application for next year to the state educational fund I'm getting shopping cravings that are really bad.. I soooo want to buy new shoes! I also need shoes that are better suited for rainy nights, so it's quite plausible to go shoe-shopping in that sence. And I will! Mark my words! Once I get money, I shall shop! It is my destiny... I've gone a week now without spending a single dollar. I'm feeling quite good about it. :) I thought it would affect me, that I would feel deprived, but it really doesn't feel bad at all. I just look forward to getting cash, that's all. ;)
Oh well. better get ready for "la Vita e bella..." Movie at my place tonite.

Dirty laundry

Every once in a while there comes times when you realize that you put off your washing for just a liiiittle bit too long.... That would be today. And it's kinda funny in a way. Just think of it. Taking the photo of my dirty laundry and posting it on my blog should in reality be more hassle than just going down and DOING IT, but still I sit put, thinking of doing it. It really is true... It's getting worse.

madhatters, hot lecturers and nice neighbours

m
YEeah! What a great day! Yesterday we had a mad hatters party in the hall, it was so cool! here you can see some of us, and me wearing the award-winning toilet brush! ;) I won one of the prices; a cake voucher for $10! wuhu! Pretty cool eh? I usually don't win stuff, so it felt like an achievement. And today we finished our group assignment, which means that it's all ready to hand in tomorrow. I guess I'd better not oversleep..
And I had a lecture with the german guy again.. *drooles* *sigh* I guess everyone should have a crush on their lecturer once in a lifetime, it makes studying so much more interesting and you find motivation easier too. :) I'm going to start reviewing for my exams today, and read the rest of the stuff that I so far haven't been able to get through.
My throat is getting slowly better, though I couldn't sleep tonight because I kept coffing... And when I finally fell asleep my "kind and conciderate" neighbour woke me up at 5am, wanting to have a review of the drunken activities of himself and his mates last night... GRR... I overslept because of that. I really just wanted to leave my alarm on when I left at half past eight, so he would have been in agony for some hours. Well, my friends are used to hear me nag over my neighbours.. may be it's better to take it out on whomever reads this blog. Namely my friends...... :D Oh well, I now have about one and a half month left to live in this room. When I move up to the thrid floor everything will be so much better!! Except from the fact that Feli and Regi will be going home then... :'(
You can't have it all I guess.
But: we were given chockolate today in our tutorial for marketing! Ye! so when my throat gets well enough I can stuff myself with cookies from Mrs. Higgins bakery, chockolate from our tutorial and an afghan from Travis. Man... Life is good after all. ^_^
Now the old grumpy lady on the first floor is going to have a good afternoon nap before dinner.

wellington

Yeah, this is where I'm currently at. Windy Welli... the capitol of New Zealand. Pretty cool town if you know how to appreciate it. :) Right now I'm in bliss for completing my assignments for now. all there is left to worry about now is the exams. But that should be all right. I've been a good girl and studied evenly throughout the whole trimester, so I should be able to pull through. It just feels sooo great to finally do something again. being unemployed can make u feel like shit sometimes, like you're not really acomplishing something at all. I feel lucky. From being unemployed and living in a cold city that I hated without friends, I am now living in a fun city, doing something that is exciting and rewarding and got lotsa cute little friends! Life could not be much better than this..
