This blog has fallen into disuse due to my busy daily life and few travel-related blog post ideas... My life has changed quite a bit since I started writing this blog, and I realized it doesn't cover my (writing)needs any more. I've revised my blog ideas and writing concepts and I'll start writing again, but not here. I'm keeping this blog in case I feel like using it at a later point though..
Interested in my writings? If you know me personally you know where to go, if not leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.

Blog post #2 - 2010: Time Leap - skipped past February to Mach
A new era, a new outlook, new plans, new projects, new procrastinations, new problems - or perhaps the same old story in a new guise.
February's blogpost was duly ignored due to exams, but now I've finally finished what feels like the 2 most important exams of my bachelor's degree. The outcome? Haven't got the results back yet, but I feel good about the exams. Part of me says "I'm not failing, so it's all good", while another part of me says "Well, I'm not happy unless it's atleast a ...!" I think it's fair to guess that the outcome will be somewhere in between those to extremes... I still have one more exam before the summer, but mostly to fill out the rest of the semester.
So... the most important exams done, now I have to find a job. The dreaded, scary jobhunting era has finally begun. I still have some courses I'd like to take at my university, so it looks like I'm staying in town for another year or so - unless I get a steady job somewhere else. A steady job trumps everything else.
My activities nowadays will be jobhunting; research businesses and companies, looking up internships, requirements and application deadlines, writing applications, updating my online profiles and applications.
On the leisure front I'll be sewing a pair of curtains, making a commissioned painting or two, reading japanese litterature, rewieving japanese grammar and vocabulary, and hopefully blog the occasional blog post.
February, though exam preparation hell:
We had the best party ever! Coctail & Tapas, Triple Birthday and House Warming Party! We had about 40 guests, no fights, only 1 broken glass, and no neighbour complaints! :)

Nytt år, nye utfordringer. Bloggpost nr.1 - 2010
Det høres jo veldig nyttårsforsettelig ut, men jeg har stort sett byttet ut nyttårsforsetter med års-nøytrale ambisjoner. Istedet for tanken om at dette skal jeg forbedre i [år X] er ambisjonene ting jeg ønsker å forbedre kontinuerlig, uavhengig av år og årstider. Alle nyttårsforsettene fra 2009 har jeg beholdt og omdøpt til ambisjoner, og de to nyttårsforsettene jeg har for 2010 er 1) å bli flinkere til å holde kontakten med venner og bekjente fjern og nær, og 2) besøke Inghild oftere enn jeg klarte H09. Jeg legger ikke lista så høyt, men det er jo to ting som er viktig for meg, og det kan fremdeles være en utfordring midt oppi tidsklemma av en tid jeg lever i.
Blant de mer åpenbare utfordringene mine, (som jeg ikke har noe imot å dele med det O Store Internettet) kan jeg nevne "Oppdatere bloggen min oftere/mer regelmessig", og "Fullføre påbegynte prosjekter" - f.eks. julekalenderprosjektet mitt (kanskje jeg rekker det innen 24/1?)... Den største utfordringen er vel fremdeles å få tid til alt jeg har lyst til i tillegg til alt nødvendig rusk.
Jeg, som de fleste andre, har plenty av utfordringer: interne, eksterne, familiære, fremmede, fremtidige og samtidige, lekne og useriøse såvel som akademiske, ambisiøse, alvorlige og nødvendige. Utfordringer har jeg vel egentlig nok av, men denne utfordringen (kategori leken og useriøs) fra Karin kunne jeg da heller ikke motstå.
Utfordringen går på å liste "topp 3", og så sende utfordringen videre.
3 ting jeg misliker:
Vel, jeg besøker vel ikke så mange blogger daglig i det hele tatt, men de 3 jeg besøker oftest er:
3 sanger jeg hører på for tiden:
Og: Godt Nyttår da, dere!

- Mocca Mint m/krem
- Amarula

Oops...
Sorry about the lack of updates! Mostly I haven't been able to update because life got in the way, but that's not really a bad thing...;) I've still taken mos of the photos I planned to, but as I forgot to bring my laptop for the holidays the updating and uploading of pictures got a little more difficult... I'll try to upload before new years - but seeing that it's mostly my social life that keeps me away from my daily blog project, and it's the season for crazy amounts of socializing, I can't make any promises. Any updates will be backdated to the originally intended day of uploading.
It's Christmas Eve already! Only 7 days left of 2009! Merry Christmas!

Status Update
Sorry for the lack of updates, the Christmas Calendar Project is still on, even though I haven't been able to upload my posts at the promised rate. When they do come they will all be backdated to the day they represent.
New update when the calendar project is up to date. Cheers!
