Fadderullan and sick once again (yeay)

I don't know if my immune system has just shut completely down or if it's just bad luck, but here I am once again, with something I suspect to be an ear-infection. For the third time in two and a half years. Annoying? Yes! The worst part is that I was supposed to enjoy my weekend at my sisters house and relax after a hectic week (or ten days to be exact) of Fadderullan.

For those of you who don't know, the first two weeks at BI (where I go to school) are called Fadderullan. It's hosted by the Student Organization of Management in Oslo (SBIO), and is represented by an independent board. These two weeks (or 10 days) are enrollment weeks with the aim of getting to know the school and other students. It's the largest project under SBIO throughout the year, and this year, I was a Buddy. Buddies are students who have gone to BI for a year or more and their responsibility is to show and tell new students about BI and life as a student.

These two weeks are filled with activities, concerts and parties. That, plus the fact that I was in charge of organizing and being responsible for the Buddies in my Tourism Management class, has made me a bit tired. For that reason, and for missing my sister and nephews, I was really looking forward to going to see them this weekend. And here I am. Waiting for the doctor to call me to see if I'm going to go for a check-up. Ain't life grand?

Fadderullan was, in spite of some stressful days at the beginning, really fun. We had 24 new Tourism students and 30 international exchange students in our group, and I loved how eager they were to join us. Not everyone showed up though, but that's just how it is. But the ones who did were pretty amazing and made up for the ones who weren't there : ) So all in all, it's been a great couple of weeks, but now it's back to school and work, also know as the real world. I've already got my first presentation lined up and two tasks to be handed in. On the same day. In two weeks. Probably should get started on that, like, very soon.

Have a great weekend guys : )

Going, going... gone!

After too many years of speculation, it's final: Francesc (Cesc) Fàbregas has joined FC Barcelona!

It's a big loss for Arsenal and Premier League. He will be missed, but good luck to him! I hope it'll be all he wants it to be! He deserves it.

London riots

I wanna ask the people rioting in London to stop ruining the city. What can you possibly achieve by destroying and burning buildings, robbing stores and pretty much make your situation way worse than it was?

If you're doing this to show you're being treated wrong and don't get enough funds to help out your neighborhood and the youths future, how is this helping? It will only force the government to have to spend money on rebuilding areas. Starting from scratch.

If you're doing this to revenge the death of the 29 year old man on Thursday, how is destroying other people's lives doing any good? Why not rise above it all? Why not show that you're worth helping and saving? Think of all the innocent people who are affected by this.

I don't know all sides of this situation, but I can't imagine how this can possibly help in any way. All it's doing is making things worse. The world is bad enough with people dying of starvation, thirst, natural disasters and war. Why choose to ruin your own country, your own city? How is this making things better?

Help wanted

Seeing as this summer hasn't had the best weather, I really wanna go away for a week in September/October. It has to be somewhere warm, preferably with a beach so I can get a tan and a swim or two in the ocean. And of course not too expensive. I am, after all, a poor little student :p Okey, maybe not poor, but school, rent and food is quite expensive ; )

What I want from you are some suggestions ; ) It would be great if you could share some ideas :D So please comment if you've got some for me : ) Help is appreciated! All tips will be considered and the best will be repeated if wanted ; )
