A little update...

So, yeah... It seems like a year since I have been here. I guess I will just give some update...

In general:
Life has been nice a quiet and nothing really special has happen. Although this summer I'm going to London and hang out with one of my friends over there :D It will be the first time ever traveling alone outside Denmark (Because we don't live in the same area in DK and she will be there over some days before me), but I will most likely manage it as long as I stay calm...

School:
Well, I haven't failed anything yet... Hehe... We are getting closer and closer to the end of 4th semester and I seriously can't wait to get summer-vacation!!

Work:
Yes, I have finally got a job, yay!! I got a job at Maersk Oil in November last year. There was a small conference at my university and I talked to the boss for the department in Esbjerg. She said I could send my CV and would get a job-interview later on. So I send it and thought that there would be other people applying also... But I got down to the job-interview: first I talked with one from HR (and OMG was I nervous, because I really wanted that job and thought that there would be others). Then I came over to another building and talked with the woman I had talked with before. In the conversation she suddenly asked: "So, when can you start?"... and I said "Today!!"... Well not that loud xD
But apparently I had made an impression on her at the conference and there was nobody else applying for a job...
So, I started working the next Monday and it has just been ever so lovely since and I really like working there :) (there will be a post later on about my work)

Weightloss:
Oh dear, well nothing have really happen I'm afraid :c
But I got into a conversation with my cousin and she wanted to make me a workout-scheduled and be sure that I follow it (she is studying to become a physiotherapist) :'D I'm going to start on it on Monday and my diet will be low on fat and high on protein and a lot of water... So if you see me eating something I shouldn't or see me doing nothing when I should be doing workout then please kick me in the ass (not literally)...


Else I hope to post more frequently from now on, at least 2-3 times a month... you can kick me in the ass for that also (again not literally)...

See you next time <3

Attack ot the freckles

Oh, sweet mother of Jesus! Spring is finally here!!
Yeah, spring has finally arrived to my doorstep and I could not be happier <3
I have taken some walks outside at the beach and really let the sun hit my face. And I have already got a lot of freckles. I have a little funny relationship to them. Before they come I'm just like; "Oh no, spring, sun, I don't want those damn freckles!". But then when they arrive; "Awww, I love them and people are giving me compliments". So, yeah -________-

In the middle of Marts I was to a lolita circle meet-up at a friends house. We had a really good time and we were creative (some of us). I had to get up really early to be there, because I live so fare away :c So I first changed into lolita, when I got there. Here is a photo of my outfit, don't mind the "sad" face:

  Outfit run-down:

JSK: BtSSB

Blouse: BtSSB

Socks: BtSSB

Shoes: Azzesories

Headband: H&M (?)

Parasol: BtSSB

Jewellery: all from London (the city)

Else I'm going to university and working together with my group, on our project. Last week we visited a school, where we had a workshop with some 3rd graders. They should help us to try designing the game. It was a lot of fun and I had made cake and the children really liked it :D

June will be the month where I'm going to have my exams for this semester. And, if everything goes as planed I will have summer vacation at the 14th of June :D So around 2 ½ month of vacation. I have never had such along vacation. Usually, in Denmark, we only have 1 ½ month of summer vacation. We don't learn so much each day at school :P

I also really feel that I'm on university because; I'm having math in English! English is not my first language. Luckily most of the math we are having I have had at highschool, because I had it a A-level (highest level). And yes, this is actually what we are learning:

 

See yah'!!

Taxes, I like them :)

Taxes are usually something you really hate, especially when you live in Denmark. My country has one of the highest tax-rates in the world. The average tax-payer has to pay around 38% of his/her income D: But if you own a lot of money I think it's something like 42%...
But it's not all that bad. We have something, I don't remember the name of right now, that 'takes' some of the money before the tax gets calculated. So it's not all of you money that goes away :)

Also there is something called 'transport deduction' (?) not sure if that's the right English term, only know the Danish one. But, I had a job last year, where I travelled a lot to get there. So, I get money back from the government for compensating of my transportation expenses :D Also I think I paid a little too much of tax last year :/


But I get a good bunch of money back and enough to pay back the money for my new laptop :D I borrowed the money from my brother :) And the rest will most likely go on the saving-account. It's very good to have for university books and if some unexpected bills comes up.


But I did actually had to check the numbers and found out that the numbers where wrong D: Good to fine that out or else I would most likely had have a tax-bill, yikes...

Panda time!! made by me...

I'm just too busy (lazy)...

Sorry, sorry and sorry people for not posting!! :c

I'm not a hardcore poster as many others, so posting once in a week is just... and my life is really boring.

Anyway... At Valentines Day I spend the evening with a friend from the university. She had invited me to watch a movie with her, at her place. We decided to watch "Grease" because she had not seen it before *Gasp*. But I guess it's different from country to country :) She is a foreigner.

 

The day after I went to a health coach, it was a free event happening near my resident. I'm a little overweight and I have wanted to lose those extra kilos for a long time, but haven't been able to find the will to do it :\ So we talk about how I should cut down on soda and candy and eat more vegetables

Then on Friday evening, some people from my group and I went to town to party!! I rarely drink, like really rarely, but somehow I can still manage to drink over 10 'object' and have it relative fine the day after O______o It makes no sense people, and I even had like 10 cm. of high hells on! But it was really good and we spontaneous went to my apartment where the four of us went to sleep (there was extra mattress for people to sleep on).

The week after I had a job-interview at a new restaurant. I currently seeking for a spare-time job, to own some extra money for books, clothes and etc... But I guess I didn't get it, because I haven't heard from them. But that doesn't matter. A friend, from the university, talked about quitting her job  because of time and then she would try to recommend me :D I wouldn't mind if I got the job. I have money for food and some extra things, but I would like to be able to save some money up for like vacation or something special...

 

Arduinos and boxing...

So this week has mostly been about university. For the whole week we had a course with this thing called Arduino. At first I thought that it would be somewhat boring, because I'm not much into such kinds of electronics. But after the first day I thought that was very cool :) Although the programming part was not so easy, but I managed it xD For the last day we were supposed to make a toy in our groups. My group made some kind of "Rock Band" with the Mario theme song. I don't have pictures of it yet, but I will pose up here within the next week :)

At Thursday my group decided to hold a pancake-party :D So after classes were done we went to one of the group-member's place and made pancakes. It was very interesting because 3 of our group-members are foreigners, so it would not be a lie that they had different point of views when it came to make pancakes ;) But everything went better than expected and I even got to try out pancakes with banana and pancakes with apple. But there were not enough pancakes for us to get full, so after we finished we ordered pizza xD It was a very lovely evening and we had a good time. Even one of the group-members gave a little concert with his electric guitar. I went home around 9:30 pm because I had catch a cold and I needed my sleep, also for not to get grumpy xD


I have told you last time that I would start at gym and I went over there at Friday. It's only 100 meters from were I live, so that is just super :D After uni was done I went home and packed a bag and went over to the gym. I have to say first that the only gym I have been used to was with 2 treadmills, 2 bikes and some weight-things. So when I went in there I got little bit of a chock D: It was so big and there were so much of everything! And there were a lot of people which made me a little socially scared xD But I managed to get my gym-cart and decided that I would do some running on a treadmill. But the chock was not over D: The treadmill were so "high-tech" that I had to get help to even make it start. I have been used to treadmills where you can control the speed and hight and that's it. But here you could even see TV! I could not do any of the weights either, because they were also much different. So for next month I'm going to get a program made for me, so I can start on the weights also :)
Today I also went to boxing workout. I didn't boxed for real. It's a workout that is inspired by the training real boxers do :) But I also got to throw some punched on a sack, you know, letting out the steam >:D It was very hart and I had forgot to bring water which were a BIG mistake. I then had to spend almost the whole afternoon in my bed with a migraine :C 


But I'm almost fresh again :) The next week will also be a little pack for me, like we have to deliver our project-idea at the university and we have no idea xD Well we have ideas, but too many and a lot of different opinions.
But that is all for now. I will get back to my homework for tomorrow.

2nd semester and a belly...

So, last exam has finally past and yes I did pass with a beautiful 7 and I think that would be like an American B+, just if some of you don't know how much it means :)
I must admit that I'm a little bit surprised about the grade because I didn't prepared myself properly. So if I had done that I may had have a 10(A-) or maybe even 12(A+). Next time I know I have to prepare myself better >:D

After the exams I had some days of before the 2nd semester start and I used them to relax. Two of the days I watched Teen Titans, you know, that 'old' cartoon show. I saw all 5 season and the movie :D I used to watch it as kid and I got to see some of the episode I had missed from that time. And I must admit that Raven is my favourite.

Yeah, I may be a little geeky, but I like to watch 'old' cartoons from my childhood. I think these days that new cartoons ain't that good. Low, fast productions with really no plot or anything. I got really angry when they changed Lilo, from the series 'Lilo and Stich', look it up!!

I have also started (like 6 months ago) to grow my hair long. I used to have above shoulder-length, but now I have let it grow for the last half year. I haven't been to a hairdresser, but my hair is still in fine condition. It grow relative fast, so it's now past my shoulders. It have even begun to wave a little bit witch is unusual because my hair is normally damn straight.

Last Wednesday I was at my university for the 2nd semester start. We were supposed to pick new project-groups and I ended up with the same one I had last semester which I'm really happy with :) Then after that I went home to my mother's house and stayed there until Sunday. And I got to know that London trip 2012 is now 100% sure :D So at July I'm going to London which then is my 4th time :3

I'm also starting at the gym again. There has opened a gym centre only 100 meters from where I live and I can get study-discount so that is just perfect :D I can't wait to start so I can train my body up again and loose those extra kilos that have been on me too long. I also hope to train my back up again fast, because the last couple of months I haven't been able to feel asleep before like 2 am because of my back. My back hurts because it's out of training, if you can say that -_______-

I think that is all for now. The next week is going to be with classes from 9 am to 3-4 pm every day. It's going to be though, but properly funny to learn something new :D
