Den 18. mai våknet jeg med  hoven fot, hes stemme, litt hodepine men med et stooort smil. Dagen før feiret vi Norge, og det var litt av en bursdagsfest! Det er vel ingen andre steder nasjonalfølelsen kommer sterkere fram enn i utlandet. Det er vel ingen andre steder pølse med lompe smaker så godt, og solo på glassflaske er det beste som finns. Gjengen møttes til champagne frokost kl 9, og “Norge i rødt, hvitt og blått”, “Ja, vi elsker” og “Hipp hipp – hurra hurra hurra” sang vi med høy røst gjentatte ganger før vi til slutt tok kvelden kl 03.00.

Etter frokost tok toget inn til Southwark park (ved den norske sjømanns kirka)  i samlet flokk, , hvor alle samles for å gå i/se på barnetoget, høre på sanger, taler og slappe av litt i parken. I år var hovedtaleren for arrangementet prinsesse Martha Louise.

Etter parken var det tid for en liten matpause på pizzeria (viktig for vi skulle jo holde ut hele natta!) – før alle studenter og andre fortsetter festen på en koselig liten pub som heter Punch & Judy, som er plassert i vakre Covent Garden. Her er det feiring hver 17. mai, og alle som jobber der går rundt med t-skjorter med norske flagg, og spiller norsk musikk. Veldig koselig!

Kvelden endte deretter med en svipp-tur innom B-Soho, før vi danset litt på en av våre favoritt ute-steder her i London; Project. Uten tvil den beste 17. mai feiringen på lenge – men den hadde ikke vært så bra om det ikke var for alle de fantastiske folka jeg er omringet med her nede :) Takk.

Hipp, hipp! Hurra!

Hello friends and family.  My head has automatically been setting its own alarm to 6 am every morning the last couple of weeks, just so I could get enough time to read for my exams. I am FINALLY done. My first one was ‘Law for journalists’ on Monday and the second was ‘Realism and representation in Film’ today. I’ve had a nervous breakdown both days.

But they both went very well!

So, three essays, one magazine and two exams done in three weeks – only one essay to go before my freedom calls. I can finally see the end of the tunnel. I’ve really felt how it is to be a proper student these days, my first year of Uni was definitely much more relaxed. I’ve spent hours at the library, haven’t slept more than 5 hours maximum each night, red bull and candy has become my new favourite meal and I look like shit.

My first ‘homemade’ magazine! So proud of my group:)

studying in park

Tomorrow I’m taking the day off. Julie and I are going for an hour with  full body massage, a two hours training session, I’m gonna take a loooong shower, get some tan and be ready for champagne breakfast on Friday 17th – Norways national day, which we are of course celebrating here in England as well!

So long. x

Det er 23 grader og sol i London idag. Joda, jeg sitter inne nedgravd i ‘Essential Law for Journalists’ boka, samtidig som jeg skriver litt på film essay i ny og ne. Men poenget er… Det er 23 grader og sol i London idag. Utenfor huset står isbila parkert. Jeg har shoppet sommerkjoler. Jeg har fått farge i kinnene. Jeg kan gå i ballerinasko. Jeg kan plukke hvitveis.

Om to uker skal jeg synge på denne regla.

Lazy days

beautiful nights

beachy hair

water fights

hot guys

tanned skin

school’s out summers in!

(My interview with Casper Lee from April)

YouTube-star Caspar Lee describe himself as “That South African teenager who sometimes talks to a camera”, because that is exactly what his channel is about; “I’m just a normal guy who shares a lot of his life with the world through his camera,” Caspar said. “I still don’t believe I’m YouTube famous, but I first noticed that I was getting popular when people started noticing me on the street.”

10 quickies.

1. If you were going to spread a rumour about yourself – what would it be?

It would be that I’m living a double life as both a YouTuber and special agent for the secret service.

2. You are stuck in an elevator – who would have been there with you?

Bear Grylls because he’d know exactly what to do.

3. What did you dream about last night?

I dreamt that I was a turtle swimming around the Indian Ocean with my turtle family.

4. What kind of a boyfriend are you?

I’ve never dated myself.

5. What type of girls do you like?

Funny ones.

6. Best chat-up line?

7. What’s your all-time favourite party-song?

Niggas in Paris (Jay-Z and Kanye West)

I can dance like a sprinkler. (link for those who doesn’t know what it is)

9. Flats or heels on girls?

Flats.

10. Fun fact about yourself?

I sleep 12 hours every night.

(68 Royal Hospital Rd, Greater London) The most amazing food-experience I’ve ever had.

Highly recommended!

I’m in the Norwegian newspaper, “Malvikbladet”, today about me, my blog and how it is living in England. Take a look :)

Kisses.

I woke up feeling one year older this morning. Today is my actual birthday, which means I’m getting ready for celebrations part 2! I started the morning with champagne breakfast by Kingston River with Camilla. The sun also decided to show today, so I’m definitely not complaining, just a perfect way to start the day of my 21st birthday.

As you can see I decided to stay in England for this years Spring Break. It feels a bit strange, cause Easter is one of my favourite holidays and I’m used to stay at my bestfriends cottage, go skiing in the mountains, playing in the snow and partying in my wool socks instead of high heels. But since I’m going home for a week in May I thought I might just try and stay in Kingston/London this time. It’s nice, but I have to admit that I get a bit jealous when all my friends are sending my snapchat pictures of white snow and lovely “Easter sun”.

The days have mostly gone to some reading(- yey, love being a student), training with Cassey Ho (blogilates; check it out here), café dates, walking by the river, watching Poirot on Netflix and reading my new Easter-book of course. No Easter without my crime novel!

Well, the dress is ready for tonight – and so am I. See you soon!

Kisses.

… and all that jazz.
