Vacation and some bad baaad weather

2008-06-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

Finally - a break from school and other trivia

My French exam went really well - I got an A! Long live 24 hours of preparation time (and a French speaking dad).

My written math exam didn't go quite as planned but I'm happy with the result anyway and quite relieved to say that I've been to my last math class ever (at least if I won't change my mind about becoming a vet or doctor of some sorts).

Also we had an annual examination yesterday in social studies. My friend and I had to make a speech about the political system of Copenhagen - not exactly thrilling but it turned out alright.

So after all this I can finally call it vacation and in two days I'll be in a plane on my way to Egypt and the warm weather.

As always it's rainy and windy in Denmark. Yesterday (on midsummers eve) we almost had to cancel our bonfire due to the wind. But we made it through and at least this year it didn't rain. Last year I spent the evening trying to prevent the cellar from flooding. Oh yes, good times, good times!

I must admit I haven't been that creative lately with all the school work, but now with 7 weeks of freedom I must be able to produce something nice and colorfull for this dull-looking page.

Also I'm saving up for a new camera so I'll be working a lot during my vacation.

Other than that my friend and I plan to spend a week in her summerhouse and also in a tent somewhere along Mølleåen.

Generally I'm looking forward to 7 weeks just relaxing and having fun before the new school year starts again. Oh joy.

aHA! 'tis a messy, messy world!

This must be (except for Christmas of course) the best time of year! There's no homework or crazy assignments (if one ignore the "roadpricing essay" - which one has) and the classes consists of crying teachers (à la "oh noes, now we'll never see each other again!!" - to which we reply "yeah that is so (not) sad!") and beer. Beer because beer is nice and usually quite cheap and people are currently saving money for vacation or Roskilde.

I'm not going to Roskilde as supposed to because of my trip to Egypt, but I really hope that it'll be some nice weather this year (as supposed to the swamp last year).

Of course this can't be classified as the best time of year because of the exams (which has let to many a rant from me - I'll shut up about it this time, promise).

At the moment our house looks like Berlin anno 1945 because we're getting new windows, bathrooms etc and my room is now promoted to "piles of stuff not able to fit into other parts of the house" which means I'm sort of living in the "land of boxes/books/furniture/vegetables" - it's not exactly making me happy but I'll try to live with it. In the meantime I'll just use my rage in a constructive way like yelling at people.

found an old doodle on my computer - not sure what to do with it

Spring weather - joy!

Finally! Summer and sun is here and everything is (for once) going fine.

I'm using an incredible amount of time on homework and school in general due to the final grades are given tomorrow and the exam-classes are revealed. After that there's no reason to try getting better grades = relaxing for once!

I really, really hope I don't get the French exam 'cause "je ne parle pas français" at all... but then again, one of the alternatives is math - which is worse.

Written math exam is next Wednesday (and I'm not prepared at all) ... I actually just realized it was that close a week ago... Holy Moly! What to do?!

(...aaaand I'm actually just repeating myself from last post - I guess my life isn't that interesting... heh).

I'm quite busy with the exam stuff at the moment and the massive amount of birthday parties I have to go to. How come everyone is born in the spring?!

The picture is the sketch used for Ironwulfen's (www.ironwulfen.deviantart.com) birthday gift (which is so closed to being finished that it's ridiculous!)

It's not the greatest I admit...

Depressing weather and a dead squirrel

2008-05-02T06:10:00.000-07:00

My birthday was simply fantastic with some pretty good spring weather, good food and nice people!

My friends and I ended up camping around my hookah after the other guest had gone home and I found some old coconut tobacco (don't try that stuff at home kiddos) and we had beer and strawberries which must be the three weirdest things ever to mix though I seem to recall it tasted good...

I still can't get the smell of sweet coconut out of my hookah though so my room stinks!

The weather is like a teenager with bipolar disorder very moody and swinging between sunshine and warm weather and back to grey, rainy, depressing weather.

It's sort of the same like me. One moment I'm happy and relaxed (and quite creative) and the next I'm depressed and stressing out because of exams and grades these next weeks.

Next friday I'll know weather I'm going to have an oral French exam (oh my...!) or if it's going to be math, religion, classical studies or physical geography (oh my....!)

Really, can't we just skip exams this year please?

But before that we get our grades and I have my written math exam which I'm dreading more than anything... wish me luck!

And about the dead squirrel. I found it laying on the road (didn't exactly cheer me up) all dead and pretty flat... My sister and I buried it in our garden and now we're both sick because of the rain... joy. As my father so elegantly put it: "I've always wanted to hold a squirrel but I didn't imagine it would be in a situation like this" ... and it was very, very cute..

And now to sketches I for different reasons haven't added to my dA account yet... Most of these was done quite randomly and deserves no deskription at all

Above: A picture I did for my sister of her rabbit and my own as humans. It was actually quite fun to do. Mine is the one to the right (called Zimba Houdini - guess why and get a cookie)

Almost almost almost 18

2008-04-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

I've just realized that I'll be 18 this Saturday. Well, of course I knew it would happen sooner or later but really... eighteen?!

I remember being this annoying little kid who thought there was a lifetime untill she turned into a boring adult, and BAM! here we go. Suddenly I can hear these funny words coming out of my mouth aimed at my little sister "sit down while you're eating!" or "I don't care if you like it or not, eat!" ...scary as hell!

But then again I've been wanting to turn eighteen for years now for different reasons. 1) Driving. The very idea of me driving a car is absurd, but I'm so looking forward to it! 2) Parents. No longer a problem. Well technically they can't order me around anymore but I'm sure they've prepared mean threats if I don't do what they want anyway (like kicking me out or something). 3) Stuff. It's amazing how much you're not able to do before you turn eighteen. Like voting and donating organs and... stuff.

But I guess it's not only fun. The amount of paper I've received these past weeks from different sources like my dentist, bank, work, school etc must have cleared some square kilometers rainforest. And I spend hours figuring them all out until I ran crying to my mother "I don't want to turn eighteeeeeeeen!" ...no of course I didn't, that would have been childish *cough*

Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy whatever time I have left as an underaged freak by just relaxing or going to concerts like last friday where Kaizers Orchestra played in Vega. It was awesome!
