Warzone - The Wanted
I can't believe I had to see
The girl of my dreams cheating on me
The pain you caused has left me dead inside
I'm gonna make sure you regret that night
I feel you close, I feel you breathe
And now it's like you're here, you're haunting me
You're out of line, you're out of sight
You're the reason that we started this fight
But I know
I just gotta let it go
I should have known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armour down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I know
I'm running from a warzone
In our house, I hate that place
Everywhere I walk I see your face
Try to erase a memory with a flame
And hope I'll never see you again
Standing here in this burning room
You know the end could never come so soon
It's clear to me the lies you used
The ones that killed me, ain't hurting you
So I know
I just gotta let it go
I should have known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armour down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I know
I'm running from a warzone
I'm running from a warzone
I can't do this anymore
I'm running from a warzone
What are we fighting for?
I'm running from a warzone
I know
I just gotta let it go
I should have known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armour down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I know
I'm running from a warzone
The girl of my dreams cheating on me
The pain you caused has left me dead inside
I'm gonna make sure you regret that night
I feel you close, I feel you breathe
And now it's like you're here, you're haunting me
You're out of line, you're out of sight
You're the reason that we started this fight

TAKE TIME TO READ. It's worth reading.
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.

MPI Board Retreat
In the middle of March I became a board member of MPI Norway Chapter. MPI stands for Meeting Professionals International and is a global association for meeting and event professionals. I'm a part of the Student Affairs Committee, and that means that I'm going to recruit students and get them to join MPI as members.
This weekend we were away on a board retreat to air out ideas, set some goals, plan the next 12 months and get to know each other as a newly put together board, seeing as we are six students all together who have now become board members. It was a great weekend with lots of fun, inspiration, motivation and an all together great experience.
We went to a place far far into the woods, or as we liked to call it, in the middle of nowhere. But it was a beautiful place, they served good food, had great facilities and we all really enjoyed ourselves. At least I did. Guess I can only really speak for myself ;)
I can't wait to get these next 12 months started!
Hope you've all had a good weekend as well :)

Fading (by Rihanna)
You say you love me
But they feel like words to me
Well this just ain't working
Stop thinking you can run over me
Drifting, settling off to a foreign place
If I can't see what's in front of me
It's a mystery
Well than apparently
Things just ain't the same
And I'm ready for change
Go on, be gone, bye bye, so long
Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading
Fa a a ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized
Today, today, it's too late
You're fading away
Put a sock in it
Just stop running your mouth
Got my mind made up
I ain't coming back again
No way, no way, no way, no way
Cause I'm so fed up
Boy you got me messed up
If we hooking back up
Don't press your luck today, today
I'm blowing you away
Things just ain't the same
And I'm ready for change
Go on, be gone, ta ta, so long
Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading
Fa a a ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized
Today, today, it's too late
You're fading away
Saw you turn into a ghost
Right in front of my eyes
Tell me what's a girl to do
When she's crying inside
I'm about to go insane
I'm jumping off this train
Whether wrong or right
I'll be gone by night
Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading
Fa a a ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized
Today, today, it's too late
You're fading away

Blessed ♥
Even if things haven't exactly been how I've wanted them to be these last few months, I'm truly blessed. I just need to remember that when times get hard.
Tonight, for example, I saw a blog post on my sister's blog dedicated to me and my sweet-tooth :p I love Smash! (salty corn kernels (according to Google translate :p ) covered in chocolate) and my sister knows this very well. Probably because whenever I visit them, I can eat an entire bag all by myself :p Anyway, she's going to make this the next time I go there:
Smash!-cake :O It just has to be amazing!! :D
I love you so much, sis! Even if we're far apart, you're always in my heart. Don't know what I'd do without you.

Barcelona en mi corazón
Last night I got back from an awesome trip to Barcelona! We arrived midday Thursday, and by evening I was already in love with the city. The whole beach-city combination is really great and you feel that they have everything there. The weather was amazing the entire week, and that was a welcome change from the snow that came before we left Oslo.
Instead of boring you with all the details, I'll show you some pictures. Chances are, I'm going to edit this post at a later point, seeing as I only have my pictures. I didn't take as many pictures as the others, so I'll probably put some of them on here when I get them :)

La Pedrera
Plaça Catalunya
The beautiful Barceloneta beach
La Sagrada Familia
Parc Güell
Tibidabo Amusement park
Amazing view from Tibidabo
Tapas time
Lunch menu in El Born
Wouldn't mind paying only 6,45€ for Cesc Fabregas ;)

Vamos a Barcelona!
When I wake up tomorrow, I'll get ready, eat breakfast, finish packing and leave for the airport. From there I'll take the plane and travel to Barcelona!
La Sagrada Familia is only one of the many things I'll see
So for the next week I won't have internet connection, and that will definitely be weird for me :p Not quite used to that. But I'll blog when I get back from my trip with the girls.
Hope you'll all have a great week and weekend when you get to Friday!

Lose my mind - The Wanted
They say that time
Heals everything
But they don't know you
And the scars you bring
Cos you left a jagged hole
And I can't stand it anymore
If heartache was a physical pain I could face, I could face it
But you're hurting me from inside of my head, I can't take it, I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'd erase my thoughts
If only I knew how
Fill my head with white noise
If it would drown you out, kill the sound
If heartache was a physical pain I could face, I could face it
But you're hurting me from inside of my head, I can't take it, I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
And I'd rather be crazy, I'd rather go insane
Than having you stalk my every thought
Then having you here inside my heart
If heartache was a physical pain I could face, I could face it
But you're hurting me from inside of my head, I can't take it, I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

Thank God for grandparents
When I woke up yesterday morning, I had practically no voice. During the day at school, I managed to speak a bit, but I really didn't sound like myself :p
Today, however, I have no voice what so ever! If I try really hard, I can get out a whisper. Very nice, if I can say so myself. Turns out I have a throat infection. Apparently a bit of a bad one too. So the next three days will be spent (quietly) at my grandparents house, more specifically, in bed or on the sofa. I've already had a good start and been here since approximately 10.30 am ;) What would I do without my family?

Sundays < 3
It's halftime in the Barcelona - Valencia game, so I thought I'd take the time to show you what I've been doing today :)
After visiting my grandmother on my dad's side, my dad made goulash for dinner, while mom and I were making Rocky Road Brownies. Yum. Then we went to my grandparents to eat fastelavnsboller. (Sorry. I have no idea what that is in English :p ) More yum. I didn't take any pictures myself, so all pictures are from Google.
In conclusion I can say this: there's been a lot of eating today :p
Hope you've all had a great weekend and are ready for a new week.

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.

Mama < 3
My mom is the best in the world!
Since I couldn't afford the ticket so I could go see my sister, brother-in-law and nephews, my mom bought the ticket for me. This way I can finally go see them again, and also spend some time with my parents.
I really have the best parents I could ever have imagined. I love them both so much!

(The headline was supposed to be "Love em'. Miss 'em <3 ", but for some reason it won't show...)
Unfortunately I only have older pictures of my nephews, but they're just as lovely today.
Been trying to go visit them, but the economy is not what it should be, so I have to wait a while. But they're always in my heart, and for now that just has to do.
The oldest
The youngest
I feel blessed <3
