Waiting for Snow

I'm looking like an idiot right now: jumping everywhere with such a big smile on my face that the Cheshire Cat would envy it. But OMG it's going to snow in two days!

OK, that was a little too much, though I'm really looking forward to it, as I guess everything is going to look even more beautiful than what it actually is (and it's already gorgeous) and a magic feeling is going to be in the air.
But I must say that we've had already a couple of days when everything seemed.... I can't really think of any other world than magic right now. There was such a great amount of fog that you could barely see what there was one meter far from you, and I got such a strange feeling when going through the kind of forest there's just before/around the school in the night, as it's the only way there is to reach a coffe-bar where a friend of mine was waiting for my other friend and me.

You can guess how many horror stories I told my friend while walking there.

The same feeling I had yesterday while going back home from that same friend house: 1 am, no stars above me, windy, nobody around there and I was walking through gardens with the forest literally next to me. Brr, creepy. But so freaking cool at the same time.

Skins Addicted

And another couple of days's gone now, this time watching "Skins" from 10 pm to 5 am and then again at 1 pm and eating tacos at almost midnight with a friend I would hardly forget in the long run. 

It's funny how sometimes it happens to get more close to people you have just met than to those you have grown up with.
I guess it is just because we need each other, I mean, who wouldn't need a real friend who can support you everyday right next to you when you end up living in a completely different "world" than the one you're used to?

That makes me think about all the wasted chances of beginning new friendships I have wasted back in Italy and many people still waste every single day, just because they don't need them.

I didn't need them. Or at least that's what I thought.

What a fool I was. 

Well I guess now I start to understand in which ways an exchange year makes you wiser. 

So, here we go again: it's 2 am and I'm still watching "Skins", with no intentions of quitting soon. Yuppie. 
Goodnight everybody.

Lazy Days

Autumn holidays, the best thing Norway has ever invented.

You wake up at 12 pm, wandering why you woke up so early, have breakfast, watch tv, notice that it's already lunch time and eat again. Yup, that's life.

But I guess I needed this little break from school and everything else. I mean, since I came here, I didn't have a single relaxing day, except for weekends, but they don't count as they are part of the routine.

Good thing about having so much free time is that I'm finally free to take a look around not thinking about being late for whatever.
Bad thing is that I have way too much time to think about every stupid little thing, and that usually brings me to either shopping or eating (or both in most of the cases).

That's exactly what happened today, indeed.

What's better than going out with a couple of friends, take a look (and not only that) at the shops in the mall, have a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of eplekake and talk about everything that comes up in your mind?
Probably having two cups of hot chocolate instead of one only, but never mind.

And now here I am again, fighting with my stomach which has apparently once again decided not to let me sleep tonight. So nice to see how habits like this are hard to lose.

However, time for switching the pc off has arrived now. Goodnight everybody

It's so fu@#ing cold!

If ever I started believing that buss drivers could be really nice in certain circumstances, then I must take it all back, once again.
Like seriously?! I can almost see penguins waiting at the bus stop with me and you decide not to notice me (because I know you DID really see me, i know!) and go on without stopping!

OK, probably I'm just freaking out.

Though I must say that going back home with my host-dad and talk about car-stuff really made my day, much better than sitting on the bus for 40 minutes, with none even sitting next to me, and thinking about my I-don't-know-how-temporary separation from my boyfriend, now ex, I guess.

Never mind, things are going to be fine again.
They have to. 
And, by the way, nothing can ever be that wrong or bad when such beautiful stars are shining right in front of you.

Good Night

Awkward

Things you would never like to discover in your gym bag:
- almost 1-month-old tomato sauce tends to turn white
-a slice of buttered bread turns stone-like after a couple of days

Bleah.

Well it can happen to forget to throw a couple of things,it's not a big deal,is it?
Ok I should better shut up.

The Nightmare takes over

No happy ending. Not this time.

Sometimes also perfect stories have an ending.

Sometimes they hurt.

Sometimes they hurt harder.

Sometimes we would rather die instead.

But sometimes we have to.

Feeling in Wonderland

Things to do before you die: go på hyttetur!

Ok that hasn't happened today nor this week...actually it was almost one month ago (can't believe it, time flies!) but it still is one of the best things I've done since I came here.

Like, come on! Who in the entire world wouldn't love to be surrounded by such a beautiful landscape?!


Though I must say that it gets pretty annoying if it has just finished raining and you're almost swimming in the mug, and also if you're wearing rain-clothes and the sun is shining so hard that you can't almost breath though there are barely 7°(luckily that didn't happen the day the picture was taken, otherwise you would have seen a dead body of a redhead girl just next to the rock).  

Never mind, I still love it, together with Norwegians waffles and rullekake! 
I'm so glad my host-family does hardly ever make them, otherwise I would have turned into a rolling fatty ball pretty soon, and it actually isn't in my "Exchange Year Goals List", though I don't really have such a kind of list... mh... probably I should write one.

Madness Starts Now

Ok, I've always wanted to create a blog but let's just say that I didn't have the opportunity to do it (that means I was either  too lazy/busy/whatever)
