No way back now!

Applicationpapers for studies in Germany is handed in, all to do now is to wait for the answer. This will probably be the longest two weeks of my life.

Anyways, under is a picture of the dream - university:
Freie universität zu Berlin. Trust me, I will cry of happiness if I`m able to spend my exchangeyear there.

I have also applied for Humbolt Universiät zu Berlin, Universität Augsburg and Otto -Freidrich Universität Bamberg. Deep down I really don`t care that much about were I go, as long as I`m able to go at all.

Please accept me!

Book recommendation of the month!

Lars Saabye Christensen - the best norwegian writer of our time.



Oscar Wilde`s elevator from 2004. Collection of short stories.
Breath-taking. Mind blowing. Beautiful.

Change Krf can believe in?

Todays Aftenposten: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3494802.ece



Obama believed he could change the US. Inger Lise Hansen is now trying to change the norwegian Christian Democratic party, Krf. Yesterday the new vise - president of Krf announced that she wanted to change her party and make it more liberal. Just one day later it is evident that to change Krf can be even more difficult than changing the US. Inger Lise Hansen told media yesterday that she is pro same-sex marriage outside church, a new look on Israel, pro European Union, "vinmonopol" (liqueur stores owned by government) in every municipality and to remove the law that states that every person with positions in the party have to belong to the christian faith. To most norwegians, a step in the right direction, but to Krf it might be too much. Fight on Inger Lise, I believe!

Germany will always be the heart of Europe.

The Baseballs!

I am impressed. It`s been a long time since I found a group from outside the US that I really enjoy listening to again and again. The Baseballs from Germany is really something to check out!



Besides that, it`s been a long time since my last blogpost. I`m back in Oslo after 4 weeks of chistmas holiday with the family in Fredrikstad. Life in Oslo is good as always, and I`m falling more in love with the city for every day. Despite that I have decided to take a year as an international student in Germany, and started studying german at school. It`s going to be hard work, but for the first time in my life I am not only motivated but pleased to spend time with learing the language. It`s such a beautiful language!

Besides that, i would like to recommed a book for all you norwegians: "Oscar Wildes Heis" av Lars Saabye Christensen. It is absolutely fantastic! One of the best collections of novels i have ever read by a norwegian writer. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D Salinger is a classic that no one should go trough life without reading.

Have a good weekend!
