8 days left!

I just thought I'd inform you of that. It's time to start packing and sell stuff you don't need anymore, I guess. The boys upstairs haven't been able to sell their car yet, and they've tried for a few weeks. So it was only logical of me to not try to sell mine until TODAY. No worries, right? I have 8 days left... Pleeeeenty of time. *ahem*.

So I took my awesome Cadillac to a dealership in town, wondering if they'd buy it from me and resell it. And when I parked, a guy greeted me at once and told me that he wants to buy my car :D So we'll get in touch later in the week so he can take it for a drive and look at it more closely (He works there, but wants to buy it for himself. Which he obviously couldn't do there.) SCORE! It only took me 10 minutes to do what others has tried to do for a few weeks ^^. The reason? Because my car is truly awesome. Period. I'll miss it.

In other news:

We're having our graduation this Thursday. So we were thrilled to find out that it might be 38 degrees Celsius that day! Oyh... Guys in their dresses and us girls in our gowns. Yeeeeeey....

Licence to Learn

So I've made it through all the exams! :D I had my practicals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So now I officially have a licence to practice in a real tower! (Or... I will once I get my graduation papers. Next week.)

It's almost like I'm on a vacation! I can sleep in, and I don't have to read for any more tests! At least not until August. Also, the Kindle has been a success so far. I've finished one book already, and begun another one. Who would have thought that? Me! Reading books! Gee whiz.


PS: I have to show you these GIFs that my roommate made from our little trip this Easter holiday:

Hahaha! He's just hanging there!

Aaah! The GIFs aren't working... :( *grumble grumble*  But I put the links under the pictures, though.

Edit: You can actually just click the pictures to see the animation. Just FYI.

Current Mood:

Final exam

Did my final exam in theory today, and I can gladly inform that I passed it :D. So now I'm one step closer to graduation. The only thing remaining is the practical exam, which will be on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wish me luck!

All of us remaining students (4 of 24 didn't cut it, sadly enough...) passed, and most of us spent the evening celebrating at the local waterhole, more commonly known as "El Roco". They love us there, most likely because we've given lots to charity (aka lost alot on Blackjack) and are generous tippers since we still haven't learned the normal % when it comes to tipping. So one of the waitresses at the bar told us that they have planned a farewell-party for us on the 28th of June! Yes. We are just that awesome, so that a whole nightclub/bar is throwing a party for us. Epic. Win.

I have bought myself one last toy before I leave the US. Since I'm horrible at reading (I tend to start a book, read a few chapters and quit), I've figured that if I make it into an electronic toy, I'll read more. So I ordered myself a Kindle, which came in the mail today :D

Time will tell if my theory is correct. I might update on during the weekend.

Also, one of my roommates flipped the switch to turn of the lights in the bathroom the other day, and this happened:

By. Flipping. A switch. I have come to the conclusion that she's working out too hard, but I'm afraid to tell her since she obviously can kick my ass like a soccer ball. Or something like that.

Soooo...

I know, I know... I've been lazy on the blogging again. But are you really surprised? Really?

We now officially have 24 days left before we leave this charming place called Grand Forks and turn our heads towards Norway :D I gotta admit it, I'm really looking forward to it. Really.


News since last time you read about me:

- We rented a partybus one weekend and drove around in the city while drinking and partying! It was our way to say goodbye to two classmates who had to go home before their time... But I think they got a really good party before they went, at least.

- A bunch of us had weekend plans to go to Winnipeg and see the U2 concert one weekend when we had the Monday off, but the school managed to screw us over by telling us that the week with 3 tests in a row was moved one week ahead, aka the week right after the U2 concert. Thanks for the heads up (not). So a couple of us decided to drive up to Winnipeg the day the show was, and go back home early the day after since we had lots to study. They could at least have told us earlier so we would have the chance to study before the weekend, when they (again) knew that many of us had plans.

Here's a few pics from the show:

Pretty awesome screen in a 360 degree circle around the whole stage. Just one minor glitch...

Proofreading isn't always a bad thing...

And BTW, I did good on the tests. All three of them =)

Funny thing, though. When we went back to the US (Winnipeg is in Canada) the border-guy obviously didn't believe us when we said that we had no alcohol or tobacco in the car with us. I don't get it! Five 20-year old people? We looked like angels! So we had to drive our car into a garage where they searched our stuff and the car. They didn't find anything, though.

Also, on the way back we went low on fuel. Like really low. So I took a detour off the highway in search of a gas station, and when we finally found it, we also found a sign pointing us in the direction of Voss. You gotta love it ^^. (Oslo is also nearby here)

- We're finally done with the weekly tests! We had the last one yesterday, and all we have left now is the final exam on Thursday. And the week after that, we start our practical exams, so we're really close to the finish line now.


PS: Sometimes it's bad that we don't have the norwegian letters Æ Ø Å on our mobile phones over here. I got this message the other day:

"Har sendt mld og bedt dem ga til dae. Men du kan kanskje stikke opp og hore."

Which translates to:

"I've sent a message and asked them to go to you. But maybe you can go upstairs and whore."

It was supposed to be listen =) I got a good laugh from it, though.
