other than that, uni have started again, doing some interesting modules like creative writing and british cinema in the 1930s, so i hope this semester will be better..
me and some others also sent a massive parcel to Ann as well, with a film of all of us saying we miss her and stuff. she loved it..
i will make you another video this christmas, where i will actually film myself and stuff.. will you be able to watch it? i mean with your internet connection.
how does it feel to be almost done with your degree? i envy you so much hun.
i still have another 1 1/2 year left.

but oh, news.. i bought myself a macbook its so pretty! i love it.
on less positive news, it doesnt look good towards me coming back downunder to visit soon:( i really wanted to come after christmas but after having checked the prices it's terribly expencive.
i miss you hun, so much i dont even know where to begin.
<3

OMG!

I haven't updated in yonks now.
sorry about that hun, it's just been so much work stuff etc.
i've been meaning to ring you as well..
get skype and we can talk on that? i think that's a great plan.. and cheap plan.
i am finally back in england now,
it's pissing down nowadays tho, so yeh, not much to brag about but it's good to be back..
i had the weirdest dream the other night.. well about a week ago.
i had booked tickets for new zealand and on the plane there i panicked because i realised it was only 6 days till i was going to uk and i didn't have a return ticket and it would cost me shitloads to get back..
i freaked out so much i woke up haha...
kinda wished it was true tho.. i am hoping i can afford to come down, but i need a new laptop first..
looking to my a mac, but they're shit expencive really. but so is the tickets for new zealand in dec/jan,
i wish i could come down for your graduation in march instead, but it's like 2 weeks before my easter hols so it would kinda be impossible for me to do so :(
i am allowed to hope tho and i will keep hoping till all hope is lost hehe...

anyway i'm safely back, and just awaiting to start uni,
im a bit excited about this semester i'm doing a shakespeare paper and also one called popular texts, which is basically based around recent films and stuff. last year they did films like fight club and v for vendetta.
there's also two more but i forgot which ones hehe..

i also bought myself a new phone..

oh and i brought a friend with me to england, she's gonna study photography here..
which is ace. me and renate also got a goodbye party before we left;) which was nice.

Rachel my dear, i miss you so much nowadays, especially now that uni is starting up, i need some Rachelness to help me get by.
sounds like you're doing great tho, i am so proud of you hun, i mean you've almost finished your degree, and then you can move on to do what you want to do:D
i will be as proud as anyone the day you finish and especially the day you get your bachelor.
say hi to everyone i know yeh?
i miss you,
and i love you sooo much.
hugs and kisses from the rainy land that is called England.

love,
Ida

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Long time no write or so to speak. I am sitting here in class for a lab session and am meant to be blogging so i thought i would blog to you. How are your hoilidays going? you must be heading back to school pretty soon. What kind of classes are you taking? I would love to know how it is different. Right now i am so stressed with co-op and then all my classes. My husband is studying again so goodbye to the great helping husband.
This is just a quick note to let you know that i am thinking of you and miss you heaps and heaps.
Lots of love Rachel

SOOOO CUTE!!!

You look so cute in your uniform, and i love how you were standing on the chair to take it. Sorry i haven't been on for awhile, the hoilidays were a nightmare. Slowly one by one everyone in the family got this horrible flu that was like a ten day flu, and everyone wanted 'mummy'.
I am so glad you passed all your classes, is it alot harder over there? go on you can be honest. So when do you start back up? I bet you are enjoying all that lovely summer weather, we are having a lot of rain, and a big storm this weekend. School just started back up and guess what Esther (Pacific Lit) is is having a baby in the next few weeks, and darryl is on sabbatical leave so i have Paul for all my classes except one. Co-op is interesting for my 150 hours i am the teacher for a reading extension program at my daughters school, there are some real brats.
Well i have to go but remember i miss you heaps and heaps.
Lots of love Rachel

Happy Norway Day!

once again it's been 17th of May, Norway's national day. and i thought i'd show you a few pics from the celebration..

me and Trine decorated the pub before we went down to a friends house and had norwegian waffles, muffins and beer, we were all nicely dressed for the occasion and we even had our own parade with brazband music from my ipod on the way to the pub, a small but lovely parade.

it was raining, but with sausages on the grill and a pint of fosters everything was good:D

We sang the national anthem countless times, drank just as much beer, danced around, converted irish lads to norwegians hehe.. Barry had bought a book called instant norwegian, and it was hilarious.

all in all it was a brilliant night, and we had loads of fun.

Very different from the celebration last year in new zealand, but i was really good here as well, less people but loads of fun:D

now onto the pictures.. Enjoy!
