School has started. We actually had to go back on 16th August as this term is a follow-up on last term, meaning that I have the same classes...and I have my placement period for student teaching coming up next Monday, so getting back in the game early was pretty essential.

I have ordered loads of craft supplies, because crafting is awesome. Especially in autumn, when the nights grow darker and the days get colder. Although we have been having lovely weather lately there's a hint of autumn in the air, and the leaves are starting to change colour. I am contemplating knitting a large triangular scarf, but I'm not sure that I have the patience for it. Would be a nice long-term project, though. Currently I plan on making brooches and hair clips, as well as necklaces. Doing something different will be fun, I am looking forward to doing something else than jewellery.

I've not been online too much since my last post due to hospitalization and whatnot. Quick recap: got a B on my Accents of English exam, got a boyfriend, went to London, got my fourth tattoo, went to Norway Rock Festival (and saw, amongst others, Immortal and Motörhead), moved back into student housing (and am making my room damn cosy). I start work again on Tuesday, and all will be hectic until...I don't know when life will ever be not stressful.

I can see that the karma whores have returned. Can't say I've missed them.

I am such a horrible blogger, I never remember to update :(

Currently I am doing my first practice teaching period, teaching Norwegian and English (and social studies, partly) to 8th graders. It's so much fun and interesting and giving and it feels very right to be in the classroom and see how proud they are when they know the right answer or get acknowledged even though they're the silent types. I think this was a good choice.

As spring is getting closer I am slowly revising and reorganising my wardrobe (and waiting for the snow to melt completely so that I can wear all my cute shoes!). I have so many things that don't fit or don't get worn...it's a shame, really. So I am going to do a little spring cleaning and give away stuff I never wear to Fretex or UFF, and throw out old, washed out and holey things..in order to make room for my new spring and summer purchases! Buying vintage and second hand online is awesome both for my wardrobe, for my wallet and for my love for being unique :p

Easter holidays will be awesome...although I am working Tuesday and Wednesday. Going to Inferno Metal Festival on Thursday, going home to my dad's on Friday...and my dad's girlfriend is going to help me bleach and dye my hair. Fingers crossed it will look great, as I have a third date with an amazing guy on Sunday :o

Daffodils in my window...I long for proper spring.
