Bachelor thesis in customer satisfaction

So, I've "finally" gotten to my last year of my Bachelor degree in Tourism Management (how scary isn't that?) and we're in the process of writing our Bachelor thesis. Our topic is (roughly) customer satisfaction at a hotel in the Oslo-region, Voksenåsen Kultur- og Konferansehotell. Like you see in the picture we've been here for a while, eaten a bit of crap and made a big mess. It actually looks worse in real life ;)

The process is long, hard and draining. It is also interesting and we learn a lot, so let's take the good with bad and appreciate the company we've got ;) Long days like these usually bring with it a lot of bad humor, and I've got a feeling we're just getting started.

In other news, Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring at the end of the season. That is the second thing that's been occupying me today. That news just sucked! But I can't say I blame him or am too surprised. He's been around for a long time and has had an amazing career. All I want to say, is: THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! You'll never be forgotten.

Let's go!!

Liverpool vs Manchester United

Booyah!! Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United! That's how we do it!! ;D 

Glory glory Man United! 

Welcome to Manchester United, Robin van Persie!

Just a short post to welcome Robin van Persie to the best club in the world : ) 

And today he scored his first goal, at his first home game. It was also his first start for the club. 

Not a bad day to be Robin ; )

That is all.

Sorry for going all AWOL on you guys. Not much happening at the moment. Work, get home, eat, watch some handball and sleep. That's pretty much all that's going on right now.

I did, however, go to Ullevaal in Oslo yesterday, to see Vålerenga - Manchester United. And even if it ended 0-0, it was really fun to see my boys in action :D Loved every minute of it! Will be quite the game on Wednesday, by the way. United - Barcelona! Wish I could have been there : )

It's almost time to get back to school again, and I think it's going to be a tough year with lots to do. The year will be over and done in no time.

Hope you've all had a great summer!

Talk soon,
xoxo

United in Europa League

I have to admit it. It doesn't happen often, but I couldn't really get into the football spirit yesterday. It's just not quite right watching Manchester United in Europa League. They're supposed to be in Champions League. That's that.

But there's a first time for everything, and it was an okay game. Most importantly, they got the away goals they wanted. This way they can hopefully (at least should) have an easier game next Thursday in the return leg at Old Trafford and go through to the next round. Although football's football, the ball is round and anything can happen. That's kind of the beauty of the game.

Luckily, I had a better time on Tuesday, when Barcelona went to Germany and met Bayern Leverkusen. The first half was boring. I have no problem admitting that. But, the second half. Way more fun. And Barcelona got three goals to take back to Camp Nou in March. Good boys :)

For the sake of myself, and the respect I have for how I think they usually play, I'm not gonna write anything about the Arsenal game on Wednesday. I just can't manage.

Have a good day and weekend guys. I'm going to Snowboard World Championships after school today, and I honestly can not wait till this class finishes! Blah is all I have to say.

Sir Alex Ferguson's 25 years of awesomeness

25 years ago Sir Alex Ferguson came to power at Manchester United. And how amazing haven't those 25 years been?!

12 Premier League titles, 10 Charity/Community Shields, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 2 Champions League titles, 1 European Cup Winners Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Intercontinental Cup and 1 FIFA Club World Cup. Pure class and dominance! I certainly bow down.

But what I wanted to do with this post, was dedicate it to him by sharing some of his fantastic quotes, cos let's face it, there's been a few ; )

On Gary Neville: "If he was an inch taller he'd be the best center-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in - I'd check the milkman."

On the 1999 Champions League triumph: "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."

On the 2003 title race: "It's getting trickly now - squeaky-bum time, I call it."

On kicking a boot into David Beckham's face in 2003: "It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!"

On Filippo Inzaghi: "That lad must have been born offside."

On José Mourinho: " He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."

And no list would be complete without some words on Liverpool.

"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool off their f***ing perch. And you can print that."

On Rafael Benítez, reacting to the Spaniard's infamous "facts" press conference: "I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous."

On whether Liverpool would win the title in 2007: "You must be joking. Do I look as if I'm a masochist ready to cut myself? How does relegation sound instead?"

Fergie; thanks for all the joy, ups and down, titles, great policies and hunger! Here's to many more years, trophies, great games and even greater quotes. You will always be number 1!

Also thanks to The Guardian for writing the quotes in today's online paper.

Have a great night!

Liverpool v Manchester United

Getting ready for Liverpool against United today. Actually starting to get a bit nervous. There's a lot of honor at stake, and 3 points and a good performance would be awesome!

Let's go, you Red Devils! You can do it!! :D
