Kickin' it with the Homies

I need to buy a ticket to China soon.

I'll be studying at Beijing University from July 'til December.

Bah.


Meanwhile I need to learn enough Chinese to survive:

At the language lab

Heidi 'loves' being my
partner
(in crime)

Lorraine

Lotte and I are the only ones
planning on going to China next semester
(out of the gang who studied Japanese who's now taking Chinese)

Say what??
The teacher caught me swearing into the
earphones today.
I tell you, it aint easy to
say many of the tounge twisters
in our Chinese dialogues

Heidi being über-genki

Asaki, the midget

Correction:
Asaki and Dag - the midgets

At every street corner in Oslo
at this time of year
they've got big signs
warning about
blocks of ice sliding off the roofs

But they don't give any alternative

Where am I supposed to walk?
In the middle of the busy street?

Last winter a young guy walking on the side walk
with his girlfriend got hit in the head
by a block of ice sliding of the roof
He's paralyzed and has permanent
brain damage

Anyway.

Since we're poor students, we went to this hoo-haa café called Pascal for some macaroons.





I had two and a half of them and felt neusious for the rest of the day. Won't be having macaroons again any time soon, that's for sure.

Hmm..

How do I do this again

Ehr

You can take a black belt out of TaeKwon-Do class
but you can't take the TaeKwon-Do
out of the black belt

(Please let the winter be over soon, I'm cold)

Makin' Macaroons

Yesterday it was Friday, which is a very nice day, especially when I'm not working.

After all of my classes had ended for the day I spent a couple of hours doing homework in the cafeteria at school.

Cat's new jacket
that I had to try on

Can you believe I did TaeKwon-Do for
ten years? Crazy

Then I went downtown to meet Vidar for dinner.


And have you ever wondered how it's like to be my boyfriend?

It ain't easy, I tell ya

Tsk, tsk. Poor guy.




Anyway,

since I'm such a rad and rebellious specimen of youth I headed to Benedicte house to spend the Friday evening making macaroons, which are small, sweet cakes consisting largely of ground almonds (thanks, wikipedia).

Asaki has just got a new camera
and was super excited

Dark purple macaroons

... three hours after we started:

They look like oreos!
Taste nothing like 'em though
Mmm
