Another ordinary week!

I never really liked Monday's but this was soo much better than any other Mondays.
Might be because I am no longer hang over and it is a great feeling!

I went to classes, studied some when I got home and felt pretty good about myself =)
Later in the evening i went climbing with Hilde =)
It was what I will call a really effective day =) =)

Tuesday is day off as always.
Got heaps of studies done.
We had a visitor on the balcony that freaked me out totally, pictures are coming..
later on I dragged Linn and Chelsea with me and Hilde to go climbing. Now I'm sitting here trying to get something done for my proposal..

Ohhh crap!!

Have you ever woken up and opened you eyes slowly just to shut them again because you realized that you are soooo hang over that you will not last long if you keep them open?
That was the feeling that hit me this morning!!
As you probably realize I was out yesterday..and by out I mean the whole line..

Ivonne did not come to Manly before 1am, so I had plenty of time to study.
Chelsea came over around 10pm or so and we drank some wine and just had a laugh.
Met Ivonne at the wharf, we went straight to Henry Africa's where the guys already were smashed so we had some catching up to do.
Drinks, shots, dancing and chatting was what set the night.
Then we went for after party at KJ's, niiiiiceee margaritas is all I have to say!!
Epic phone calls to Marita and Espen that left us in Jan & Feb as well.
Me and Ivonne crashed at Greaham's place around 7am and that feeling was what I woke up to around 11am..

Breakfast was painful, but Tim made it slightly better for us.. U r an amazing guy btw!!
Now iI'm sitting here trying to read about emotional intelligence with a heavy metal concert going on in my head. Ivonne is coming over for dinner before she leaves Manly and after that I think I will capitulate. This is exactly why I don't drink when I go out!!

Hope everyone in the world is feeling better than me right now!!

Breakfast

Clowdy day

Okey, I'm not even gonna try an lie here..hehehe
my weekly plan has already gone down the drain!
Thursday I did manage to get my ars to class but not to fat attack,
fell a sleep as soon as I got home after class!
I was exhausted!!
Yesterday I did go climbing and it was great!
Today I'm sooo soar, my arms and shoulders hurt so no gym for me!
We also had Hilde and JJ over for tacos and wine!great fun =)
Then I went out to dance for an hour and a half =)

I have already sent a job application =)
Done some marketing research, have to do revising soon.
I also have some Human resource stuff to do before I throw myself at the Journal article assignment. But first, coffee with Nadia and lunch with Hilde and JJ =) =)
Ivonne is also coming tonight, so probably have to go out and dance again..
reeeaaally sad..hahahaha
That does mean no pancake's on the rocks thou... :(
Next time ;)

Gotta run...

Thursday..

As you probably have noticed by now im not really good with this day to day updates of my blog, but cut me a slack..
I have heaps of assignments to do.
Which is actually not the hardest part, that is the amount of research i have to do prior to writing the assignment.
At the moment im working on my Journal Article,
which is the most time consuming assignment I have had so far!
I'm writing about Emotional Intelligence and my thesis is as follow:
How can managers "grow" their emotional intelligence to be more effective leaders.
It's beyond interesting and I love reading about it,
it's just too much to read and to little time!!
I have that assignment which is worth 60%!!!!
of my grade and 5 others weighing between 25-40%,
then I have 2 tests and 4 final exams.
All this within 6 weeks time.
I have started fighting against time and that only results in stress and demotivation.
In order to fight that i have decided to no matter what at least once a day do something that I WANT to do =) =)
Although this will take up around 1 or 2 hours of time that i don't really have i guess its better than sitting with my nose in a book not getting a word, struggling to concentrate because my thoughts are everywhere else.

So my plan for this week, think I have to do the planning a week at the time.
Is today I'll go to the gym for some fat attack as the class i called and then pilates =)
Tomorrow it's climbing =)
Saturday, I'll leave it open ;) maybe gym 10:30 in the morning..
gives a nice kick start to the day..
Sunday, it's lunch in the Rocks (Sydney city) with Ivonne =) =)
Monday, gym at 7pm.
Tuesday, beach in the morning, maybe some snorkeling (depends on the weather) if not climbing is a good option :D
Wednesday is probably gonna be an all night'er since my journal article proposal is on Thursday! So no plans, just some red bull in the fridge :/
But after that its EASTER..I'm off from Thursday 2:30pm until Wednesday 8am!!
I love holiday's in the middle of the term,
gives me time to catch up on assignments and some reading...
Looking back at my week plan it actually looks doable!!

So the first thing I have to do now is to get off my backside and go to class,
where i should have been 2hours ago!! Was just toooo tired to get there in time!
Think I have to do something about my bedtime as well!!
I also have to restrict my online chatting time!!

A brilliant idea hit me!! I'll set off 1h daily for chatting =)
When that will be I'll have to get back to but probably at 10pm to 11pm Aussie time.
12pm to 13 pm Scandoo time :p
Also I might be online during some of my lectures, at least 2 off hem are drop dead boring..hahaha (sorry lecturer the subject does suck)

Well got to get going..
Be back with updates later =)
(try to take some pic's as well, I just always forget)

Time fly...

Just realized that i haven't updated my blog for 10 days..
well..what can I say..been busy!!
And not in the fun way..hehe
Mid-terms and deadlines on 2 assignments last week so u can imagine I've been cramped up in my apartment studying!
That's at least how last Friday, Saturday and Sunday passed by.
Monday too.
Tuesday was tradition day :)
Got up early, did some studying.
Hilde picked me up around 9:30 and off we went to Shelly beach to do some snorkeling.
Licked a loot of sun :p and then went for a great lunch at the Mexican place.

Wednesday was all work no play, deadline and midterms thursday,
same with Thursday..Never the less the exams went good i think..
Yesterday, Friday was Jen's birthday!
We we're around 25 people at the Spanish tapas restaurant.
The food was great! drinks GREAT! People dressed to impress as always!
Went to Henry's and had a good time, im impressed that everybody ended up at the same nigt club!!That's a first :p

Now im sitting her, Saturday surprisingly not hang over at all!!
Stalling out time..have function today =)
It's gonna be sooo much fun, the only reason im still here is that its a 14hour shift!!
Anyways, gonna be a loooot of fun! We're a great team!!!

Tomorrow its time for snorkeling again, maybe kayaking (my first time =D =D )
and climbing =) =)
and studies in the evening!

Have a great weekend folks!

Brrr...

Okey! I KNOW we stepped into autum around a week ago, but seriously!!
what happened??
Yesterday I was at the beach licking sun, I even had to leave cause I was getting burned..
I never, never!! get burned!!
Today I woke up to rain, strong winds and 18 degrees..
I know im not really entitled to complain, never the less what about a heads up?
Same thing happened last week!
After 2 days with cold winds & 20 degrees we were back up at 35 with sun..
no wonder people get sick!
The weather is a weird thing down here.
Two days ago as well. I was on the phone with Denisse and I asked her to go out on the balcony and check the weather, the sun was shining as never before, it was over 30+ and the rain was pouring down :/

Well, exept from waking up ice cold (sleep with the window open) the weater suited me just fine!
I had lectures from 8am until 5pm, yeah, I just got in the door and jumped in some comfy cloths.
Now I have to start on the mountain of homework I have for tomorrow!
Marketing Pitch as well! Me and presentations.. hahahaha

Better get started then, have a loooot of stuff going on actually =)
Need it to keep my mind off.... so that i can consentrate on finishing this term!

Might reveal some of it here soon, so stay tunned =) =)The view from most of my classrooms!!
And yes, it is Manly beach you can see down there..
Anyone still wondering why I struggle with myself every morning??

New traditions..

Who said that even thou you have heaps off school stuff to do you can't take a break to gain new motivation and energy??
That was the smartest thing i could do!!!
As I've already said Tuesdays is my day off, normally it consist of me getting up, turning on the laptop, answering heaps of emails and trying to catch up on everything.
No matter how much i study during the weekend I never get up to date on my studying.
So I decided to do something different this Tuesday =)
I got up, went to the gym, took a quick shower, put on my bikini and heaps of suncream and headed down to Shelly beach with Simon, where Hilde was waiting for us with snorkling gear!
U heard it, I snorkled for the first time in my life today.
After that and some sun bathing we went for lunch at the new mexican place, it was great!
On the way back me and Hilde decided that this is going to be our new tuesday tradition!!
I got back at 2.30pm and had the rest of the day to do school stuff! Perfect..!!

In the evening me and Chelsea went to the gym for fat attack and ABS, great classes!
Then some dinner, studies and bed!

A great day =) =)Shelly beach with view towards Manly beach =) =)

Great start on a new week!

Mondays are normally not one of my favorite days,
allthough it again depends like any other day what you fill it with =)
I got up a bit late, around nine, had classes from 10am 'til 2pm.
Got home, did some studying and started to think of dinner.
Chelsea called and invited me for dinner at GDR (grand dining room)
to have a 3 course fine dining dinner!
The entree was good, tomato & aspagues salad with a vinagret,
for main we had fish it was AMAZING,
so was the bottle of sparkling we had with it!!hahaha
Dessert was lime panna cotta!!!! My favorite!!!!!!! I was in heaven..
After that we went for a walk at the beach.
Ended up walking, sitting and chatting for 2 hours.
Sooo much fun! Obviously we were both a bit tipsy, hehe
Went home to continue studying, got through 3 pages before I gave it up and here I am.
Bloging instead..next destination = my bed =)

New day and new opportunities tomorrow =) =) =)On our way to GDR dinner =)

Til deg . . . . . .

Vet ikke om du leser bloggen min engang men likevel skriver jeg til deg her!
Du kjenner meg nok til å vite at jeg ikke alltid klarer å sette ord på hvor mye jeg setter pris på at du alltid stiller opp for meg når jeg trenger det som mest!
Du aner ikke hvor mye det har betydd for meg at du har ringt,
jeg vet det koster deg en formue å jeg er lei for det,
men jeg er og egoistisk å sier at jeg ikke ville vært foruten!
Denne siste uken har vært ett mareritt for meg..
det gjør enda vondt å leve i uvisshet og å se de store skadene som er i Chile.
Det verste er vel å sitte på andre siden av jorden å ikke kunne gjøre noe,
å ikke være nærmt de jeg er gla i og de jeg kan snakke med om det.
Seff har jeg venner her nede men det er ikke det samme!
Du var den første jeg ringte og det er jeg gla for!
Er glad for at vi på tross av alt fortsatt har kontakt.
Du betyr mye for meg å jeg er utrolig gla i deg selv om jeg sjeldent viser det!
Å bare så du vet det..smykket jeg fikk av deg er det fineste jeg noen gang har fått!
Ble litt forbauset når du trodde jeg hadde kastet det!!
Takk for at du har vært der for meg!!

What happen to the weekend?

Swwoosh.. that sound was the only thing that withnessed that the weekend passed by..!!
What the hell happende to it? I had sooo much stuff to do!!!! Haven't done half!!
Think I have to revice my time management skills..they SUCK..
Well, at least I know where I've spent my weekend, online.. :/ watching the Chilean Teleton, Chile ayuda a Chile! "Chile, help Chile!" where the chilean people where able to raise all together
34 883 720,9 in norwegian kroner!!!
Everybody gave something, those who had little gave what they had!
It made me proud to be Chilean!!
And for those who know me I don't often say that!!
During the program that lasted 27hours non stop you could see testimonies from the average people who risked their life to save their neighbours, people who lost their family but instead of laying down they got up and went out to help others who were worse off!

It gave me the inspiration to stop being sad for those who we don't know if still are alive...
as long as I don't get it confirmed they have left us I will keep praying for them, asking God to keep them safe!! I will also pray for Chile, and the reconstruction of that beautiful country!
It will be hard and it will take time but they will make it, as they did in 1960!! Never the less the people of Chile will need all the help they can get, even if it's just spreading the awareness, that even if it's not longer on the news it doesn't mean its over, as well as for the people of Haiti!
We have the responsibility to not forget about them!
With whatever means we can help, we should!! Even if its just a pray! A pray can move mountains ;)

Te amo Chile, Fureza!!!

Relief!!

5am Tuesday morning I got the message: Grandma has been found and is now safe and sound in her house back in Rancagua. There are no damages to her house or to any one else in your closest family! I didn't sleep much this night either but at least i don't need to worry any more.
Spoke to my grandma and she cried when she heard my voice, I did to!
I even made a promise to try as hard as I can to go to Chile and see her!!
A promise I tend to keep as she is to old and sick to join us for summer holidays in Europe anymore..
Te amo Abuelita!!!

The worst weekend in my Life!!

Friday started out pretty good, although i was sick most of the day with stomach flu the afternoon was okey, I had dinner with Linn before she went to work.
Then met up with Chels, went shopping for a pencil case & some other stuff to organize all my papers that are piling up in my room!
Getting organized!! Good girl..haha only took me 4 weeks almost..
I ended up spending the evening with my marketing book, tomb rider 2 on tv & some glasses of wine =)

Saturday started quite good!
Gym in the morning & a good breakfast!
It didn't take many hours before I got the news,
a 8.8 earthquake in Chile! I tried to get to anybody form my family down there,
my parents were on their way to SSpain for winter vacation so i couldn't get to them either, the rest of the day I spent online, on the phone and even txting to try to get some news from my family in Chile. I called the 2 persons i could think of that could make me feel any better, it helped a bit, but then the feeling of not knowing came back..

Sunday I spent the same way, by now we had been able to locate everybody except my Grandmother. Nobody had heard anything from her or about her!
1 days had gone by now. We we're all getting pretty scared, the area where my family lives was hit pretty hard but by far as bad as in the epicenter.. Still the number of casualties was rising fast. I went to bed with the worst feeling ever! Slept about 2h, woke up to check the news, slept 1h, checked the news..that was how my night went!

Monday I was exhausted, not much sleep at all!!! Still I went to the gym in the morning, lectures until 2pm where i sat looking at my phone every 10min, home to check the news, facebook, mail's & you name it for any news! Tried to study but by the time I sat down the emotions just took over.. How could nobody know anything!!
Where were my grandmother and why had nobody been able to contact her? I knew the answer, but it didn't satisfy my need to know that she was okey, alive...was to strong!! Besides my parents she is the only one from my family in Chile that I really know, she is the one who has been in Norway and in Spain and on roadtrip with my crazy family, she even survived the space shuttle in Disneyland in Paris!! She is the coolest grand mother!!! I know my aunt is doing her best to get to her..that the roads are blocked and that communication is down...I just need to know she is okey!!!!
