You have to live your own life, and whether other people like you or not comes after you feel content and happy with yourself. There is no use in constantly trying to prove yourself or, even worse, try to prove that you are better than […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> I got up at 6 am again today. Typed up my journals that I had written in my notebook. Then went for a 20 minute sauna (this might become a daily thing – it’s so nice!). My flat mates should be coming back today! I’m so excited to meet them. It’s 10 am..and I’m really sleepy again…but no way I’m going to let the disasterous […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> It’s still strange to type 2009 :P I woke up at 6 am today and stayed up until 10 am…then I thought I’ll go to sleep for a little while. That little while turned out to be 4 pm…ah, the beauty of student life when on holidays. Nothing very special today, except we met a new student from Austria. L, A and I invited him […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> I woke up at 4 am this morning. Couldn’t fall back asleep, so my mind began to wander. For whatever reason, my mind started to think about indifference curves from economics and the hierarchy of needs. There must be someway to combine them…after all, it’s really hard to be indifferent between goods that are from different levels of the hierarchy. After that, I couldn’t sleep […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> I have been thinking about what A said yesterday: he explained how he was so angry when his muslim friend’s luggage was searched twice at the airprot when he just cruised through the customs. Difference in treatment. Of course, we should all be angry at this kind of discrimination based on silly criteria like race, colour, and of course religion. But then I realised how […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> The last day of 2008. It’s been a year with all kinds of emotions and feelings on the spectrum. Many firsts, with hopefully more to come. And many hopefully lasts to my bad habits etc. This morning I went on a walk with A around campus, unfortunately, we couldn’t find L to go with us. Campus is really beautiful, with old and new buildings, interesting […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> I went to Aas centre for the first time today. I was buying food for myself for the first time, it’s a really strange feeling – I didn’t what and how much to buy at all. I bet everything was really expensive…but I only tried to compare prices in NOK, and not think about how much they are in Canadian. I passed by library so […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> Finally arrived in UMB, Aas. My Vancouver to Chicago flight was delayed for 4 hours (yes, we sat on the plane for 4 extra hours). Due to the delay, I had to stay in the Chicago O’hare airport for over 13 hours for the next SAS flight to Europe (Stockholm). From Stockholm, I would fly to Oslo. Fortunately, the United Airlines phone agents were super […]
