Major vacation part 2: Leeds

[martinemonster]

When I woke up the next morning I looked through my luggage, threw out the clothes that were really smelly, put the back-pack on again and left for the air port, right then cursing the stupid idea of mine of taking two separate vacations after each other. But all that changed when I was reading sources for my essay on the airport. I just got so relaxed. Nothing was the matter and on that day I managed to read 170 pages, which, to be quite honest, is a lot for me. I also met this really great guy, Mark, from Edinburg, who were travelling to Manchester. Luckily for my studying, he took an earlier train than me from Liverpool, so I could spend the three hours on the train studying. Then I got home to Aksels place, and the rest of the week was amazing. We climbed a three that hung over a lake, we went to see Dresden Dolls, the best band ever, we looked at apartments for next year, walked thorough the city center, had coffee at Starbucks, and just in general had a shiny time! I love him so much! And can't wait till next year.

When I got home, the reality of it all hit me though. I had a presentation the next day, which I was totally unprepared for, I was behind on my reading, my essay was not finished, and I promptly got sick. Now I'm sitting here, trying to convince myself that clothes are important, and that one has to actually get working even though one is sick. I don't wanna. I wanna be well before I start working again. Sigh! Not gonna happen...

You do anything fun whilst I was away? (I bothered to read three pages back on my friends page, but that's as far as I'm willing to go, so tell me people, tell me!)

You climbed a tree over a lake? Me and Mikael did that too! :D (or over a river, Akerselva, that is)

Wanna do something fun but unspesific anytime soon?

That's weird actually...but yeah we did.

I'm into anything that's fun! Let's play! :)

Let's! I think there's a barbeque planned for someday next week, only people don't know about it yet. ^^

And let me know if you have any more of those blitz-lunches or weird-movie nights, it was nice! :)

170 pages, which, to be quite honest, is a lot for me. Grml. Don't make it sound small. I stop understanding anything at all after 75 pages.

I've been in the army, with my football team. =D

Saturday and sunday we were at Setermoen in Troms, pretending to be soldiers, running around with guns and shooting at crap. Quite fun. And on monday we were at huseby and did parade drill with the royal guard.

On the whole, an excellent week-end, if you ask me. =)
