It's about time for a new post. the reason why I haven't written for a while is because i don't know what to write about. there's nothing special going on in my life. i'm still a student, like it, but everything that once was new and exciting becomes routine. so here i am on a saturday afternoon, listening to lifehouse and found that maybe it's time to post a blog. i've been listening a lot to lifehouse lately, and they just get better and better the more i listen to them.

since i'm a norwegian, snow has always been a natural part of winter. and i do miss it when i'm in places that don't have it. but this year it was good to have a white christmas at home and it was nice to come back to england where the ground was bare. but this week the country has been turned upside down. it's been snowing. the heavies snowfall in 18 years. meaning 20cm in london and 2cm at max in bournemouth. this has created complete chaos. for a northerner like myself it seems rather rediculous, but i guess when you're not prepared for snow it comes as a shock. i took the bus the other night at 9pm, which isn't that late, but i got on the last bus. or so i was told by the driver. because they didn't dare to drive anymore because of slippery roads. and it was 1cm of snow. well, i guess i will never completely understand the minds of the brits.

oh, miss traveling. i miss meeting new cultures that are so different to my own that a culture shock is expected. i love it when it's expected, because you never experience culture shock then. it's when i meet cultures that are supposed to be like my own that i get problems, because you don't expect the differences. with other cultures you have an open mind in a totally different way, and you keep yourself from prejudice. traveling is really what i miss the most. maybe i should have become an anthropologist in stead. when i'm done with my studies i will take a year off to travel. i have never been to africa, but i would rather go back to south america and freshen up my spanish, or i'd go to nepal and india. but till then...
