So, what has been up beloved ones, in the big apple and in rock city? I'll start this post by trying to create a little atmophere discription of the Paris of the north. Key words are darkness, snow, northern lights and Christmas decorations. That's for the visual description. This Saturday we had a little party, (a three-people-party, so can hardly be called a party but anyway) and then we went to town to get some drinks and see some peeps. I hadn't been out for a long time because of my exams, so it was really nice. And the nice thing about Tromsø is that it's such a small town, but still kind of big, and all the pubs and bars are concentrated in one small area, pretty much. This Saturday the street was full of people everywhere and there were street musicians with accordions and guitars and everybody were dancing around in the street! That was my perception anyway, but I was slightly drunk. But people were dancing, that's for sure, and it is just so nice; darkness, snow and the warmth of people. But now it's time to travel down south again. This Saturday I'm flying to Oslo, but before I go home to Mandal I'm going to visit Sigrid and Christopher in their homes. And then comes family time and Sofie time around new years eve.
Exams aren't over yet unfortunately. This week I am writing my home exam in philosophy which is far far beyond me. So that is what I should be doing this very moment, but in stead I'm writing a rather lousy blog post which doesn't really evolve around important issues of the world. But one ting I can tell you: if you don't have one already, get yourself this device (which I don't know the name of in English) to steam milk with! It increases your life quality to have steamed milk in your coffee (especially if it is espresso coffee). But I think my coffee consumption, which has been rather extensive lately, is giving me yellow teeth.
And it you haven't guessed already – the picture is of the transsibirian railway which I definitely think we should hop on and go to India.

oh dearest pelse! so funny that we were blogging at exactly same time. i am going to make a second post now. tromso sounds lovely, actually. i want to see it. i love you.
oh, that's great. hehe. you have to come and see me here! and I shall come to new york/san fran. i love you.
i want to go to tromso as well, soon.
else, are you coming to glasgow in june?
love
no, late may (early june too)! i have to start school in berkeley on june 9. i think.
now let me just think about this -- what if i don't go to summer school this year and i stay longer in the uk... hmmmmm...
I need to come to glasgow end may/beginning june! Oh, I hope my exams allow be to come. Shane I didn't know you were going to Berkely. The worlds emplyers are gonna love your CV.. But staying long in the UK is also not such a bad idea. Iove you both.
hmm... yes indeed, more uk time would be great... but then again, cv is important too. or well, gaining an understanding of the world through education. i guess.
but if not, you can come to norway with us and play in the sun! ok i need to pay my rent. see you later,.
i think i can do both -- take the berk. session that starts a little later! it's less about the cv than about getting rid of requiremens and prerequisites somewhere less expensive than nyu. so uk mid may to mid june me thinks. you two?
