Just this tiny thing before I start reviewing again. Have had this song in my mind all yesterday evening. Or to be more specific, the riff. Gotta love good guitar riffs. Mmm... guitar riffs... Ok, enough now. Just have a look.
Now I'm done. :-P

Primal scream and things that make you go "mmm..."
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!
Just had to let that one out. Man, that felt good.
Mmm... Big words... That's my thing. Big words that don't necessarily mean that much when you think about it. Just think about "retarded" and the more indirect term "mentally challenged". Or perhaps "lost" and "locationally misplaced"... Yesterday, when we had our final Grammar lecture (nooo!) , our lecturer mentioned the word "redundant"... Mmm... Redundant... As Eilen would say oh-so-eloquently: "Talk nerdy to me!" Yes, indeed. :-P
Off topic and ever-so-slightly random, but here's Homer Simpson commenting on things that make you go "mmm...":
"Mmm... forbidden donut..." :-P
Not too keen on that "invisible Cola"-bit. And they should have showed Homer when he actually said that stuff as well. But it's still pretty fun, though.
Anywho. Enough procrastinating. I'm gonna go and be a good student now.
Funky-dory,
Elise
Ps.: What is Soylent Green, anyways???

I'll be hooome for Christmas...
There. Done. All that's needed now is snow.
Finally got around to order tickets home, despite me not being able to get my last exam date yet. So now it's decided. I'm going home on Dec. 17. Definitely. Unless something highly unexpected happens. Which I doubt. Anyway, that's all for today. At least for now. Will now fret over other less trivial things. Like exams. *Theme from "Jaws" in head* For those of you who are studying like heck (I hope...): best wishes and positive motivational vibes from Oslo!
God bless,
Elise
And there she goes.

Blog hiatus.
Wow. Talk about blog abstinence. Haven't written anything since last Saturday. Dude. Duuuude.
Almost scary, that.
Anywho, I have come to the conclusion that I have to focus a bit more on my inevitable and dare I say dreaded exams, so my apologies for not posting much these next couple of weeks. :-( As these are my very first exams here at uni, I just want to make sure that everything is right. But there's always Msn.
So, any news? Nah, not really. Just the same trivialities as usual. Besides exams, I find (again) that I miss my beloved darling piano. My precioussssss... No other musical instrument can ever replace it, I tell you! (Except for real pianos, but that's another story.) Guitars, tin whistles, recorders, drums, maracas, you name it - they can't substitute pianos. They're all nice, but they can't substitute the real thing.
Meanwhile, I'm in the process of ordering tickets home. I.e. I haven't gotten around to actually ordering, but I'm planning on heading home at around... err... date... *flicking through calendar*... Dec. 17. In case y'all are interested. Unless the date of my final exam is earlier that week, so I could go home earlier. *keeping fingers crossed* Hopefully we'll get to know the date tomorrow. Hopefully.
Ugh, gray and dreary outside. It's been raining here all week, apart from the sun peeking through the clouds earlier today for about half-an-hour. Very uninspiring weather. Can be nice when in the wilderness, but in the city it's just depressing. Don't feel like studying at all. But I have to.
Sometimes I wish I were a bird, so I wouldn't have to have to take exams. Sounds silly, I know, but we humans have really made life complex compared to the (other) animals. We have to go through school to get a job in order to get food on the table, while other animals just take whatever food they can get. Of course it may be more difficult for birds to get hold of food, but they still don't need to take exams!
I'm not making much sense, am I? I'll stop this yapping now and get on with studying. *sigh*
Stay tuned for more absurd randomness. Eventually.

Breaktime! :-D
Guess who (kind of) loudly exclaimed at the school cafeteria yesterday the oh-so-tactful remark: "We're all freaks!" so that the rest of the diners could hear her loud and clear... This was by the way the same person who at that moment sank down in her chair and felt small and kind of embarrassed. *cringe* "Bridget Jones" moment of the week right there. Perfect way to end a week! I needed to laugh a bit, though. Helps to de-stress.
Listening to sugar-coated, shallow, cliché-filled synthetic 80's pop á la Rick Astley. Just in that bubbly mood despite vigorous reviewing. Well, not that vigorous, actually. But those two sort of go hand in hand with me. Shallowness and reviewing.
Don (a.k.a. Gerd Torunn, sister of best friend) came for a visit today with her beau, which was fun. Hadn't seen her for a while. Aaand thanks to her boyfriend (who seemed to be utterly fascinated with my TippEx/correction fluid/white-out/"tabbelakk"... o.O), he's now made me associate oregano with organs, i.e. intestines and the likes. Another absurd association along the lines of Jonas Gahr Støre/diced bacon. Eating pizza will definitely be a new experience next time around. Oh yes.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that with y'all. It's amazing what exam prep can do to you...
Yes, I'm gonna shut up now and do something sensible. :-P
Soon homeward bound (still dunno when... frustrating! Argh!),
