Easter and other thoughts..

After at least ten days of Easter holidays it's time to reenter the life as a student and try to get something useful out of the day. Not that I haven't been doing useful things while on vacation..I have been out playing in the snow with my little cousins twice, been skiing thrice and I've been working at the nursing home four days. And it's been wonderful, at least those days that I spent outside trying to catch all the rays of sun that licked my face. But everything has an end.

I don't know why chiropractic sounds tempting. Or I do. You get to work with people. You learn about diseases and how to set diagnoses. You learn about medicine and the body. Summed up. It's very interesting. A bit more interesting than sitting in an office all your life translating things, that other people already have written, into another language. It's not even your own work. And the pay is lousy. No offence, it is an interesting subject to study and the work is nice as well, but I can't imagine myself spending my whole life on that.

So I've come to a roadmark where I don't know which turn to take. Should I continue on the bachelor degree I've started? Or should I start aiming towards an education in chiropractic? The latter would mean that I have to spend five years either in England or Denmark, but I will be able to work with people for the rest of my life. Am I willing to do that? The other means that I will spend the rest of my life in an office, but I will be able to spend most of my time as a student in Norway with the exception of next year. Am I willing to do that?
Oh, big dilemma!!

I just have to think, talk and pray about it. And apply for all things possible..= a lot of work. But that's what I gotta do when I don't know what to do with my life..

Faste/fast

I dag er starten på ei 40-dagars periode med bøn og faste i Salem, menigheiten der eg går. Til vanleg er det jo ei 40 dagars faste frå fastelaven til påskedagen, og eg vurderte om eg skulle gi avkall på noko i den perioda, men så langt kom eg aldri, og no har me snart nådd påske. Men då det no har vorte sett i gang ei slik periode i Salem tenkte eg å slenga meg på. Det eg har tenkt å gi avslepp på i fyrste omgang er internett. Nærmare sagt bloggar og msn, og berre 15 minutt om dagen til å sjekke e-mail og facebook. Eg vil framleis måtte bruke internett til skulearbeid, så det er den unødvendige bruken eg vil kutte ut.
Det er difor eg skriv her, for det betyr at eg ikkje kjem til å oppdatere bloggen min på 40 dagar!

Just in case people who aren't Norwegian read my blog I'll write a short note in English as well.
Today the people in my Church has entered a period of 40 days in prayer and fast. During the fast I have chosen to give up internet (meaning blogs and msn, and only 15mins a day on e-mail and facebook alltogether( can't shut out the world completely)). Because of this I won't be updating my blog in 40 days!
