Joke of the year

(And I sort of loved this picture.)

Going to the last class of the year yesterday, there was a new face among us. No one had seen her before. The teacher obviously hadn't seen her either, so he went asking her if she was in the right class. "Yes", she said, "it's just that I haven't had time to come before now." (There have been 4 classes a week ever since February, and the students have been able to pick the ones best fitting with their scedule.) The teacher gave her some explanations of the subject, and wished her good luck. This is Spain for you.

One day left

One day left of classes. I've been waited for this day ever since January. And now it's finally here. No more copying down word by word of professors' monotone speeches, no more endless boredom and "anywhere-but-here" games, no more definitions of the definitions of the definitions...... In short: I can see the end of it. And it makes me smile broadly.

Guitar and pancakes

Today I touched a guitar for the first time in my life, and I actually played a bit on it as well. I learned two cords and did manage to play on four strings. Impressive, ay? And then there were pancakes with peach-jam and banana for lunch. What a great day!

Good morning, sunshine!!

Happy Constitutional Day to all the Norwegians!!! Here it will be "celebrated" with classes at school in nearly 40 degrees. Looking forward to some real tasty Melkesjokolade afterwards!

P.S. It did actually reach 42 degrees today. Hottest 17th of May I've ever experienced.
P.P.S. Thanks a lot to AJ who brought the most delicious fruit salad for lunch. Yum!

The Catty Hairball

I don't really have a story today, but I found this wonderful photo. It expresses how I feel today; being inside, curling up in the sofa listening to the rain pouring outside. How nice it would have been having a cat for company!

The art of indulging oneself

First day of Spring (according to the calendar). Pancakes with banana and raspberry jam for breakfast. Watching cartoons on TV in pyjamas. Going up to my personal paradise at the mountain. Reading a book, enjoying nature and having a sandwich for lunch. Just staying there; relaxing, breathing, feeling good. And then taking a hot bath in the end of the day.

What's your May 1st like?
