I handed in my thesis Monday, but I doubt I'll get a passing grade. Everything up to the actual analysis part was good (enough) and I know if the entire thing had been that level I would've passes no problem, but the analysis was way too short, and basically sucked. Everybody's been saying that I'm too hard on myself etc, but well, I know what I wrote, and it sucked. So. That's horrible, and I feel like a huge failure whenever I think about it, so I try not to. Especially because I'd worked so hard! I'd been at the school every morning at 7 or earlier to 5 for the last while, and before that, I'd been there from 9-5 every day. I barely slept the last two days. (The last night I slept exactly 20 minutes, after I got a friend to call me so I knew I'd wake up.) *sigh*

In other, much better news: Stine and I threw a party Friday, that really fucking rocked. 25-30 people, we had brownies, mini pizzas, pigs in blankets, chips and candy and we closed to door behind the last people at 6 in the morning. Also, you know you've had a party when 25-30 people drink:

  • 89 beers
  • 2 bottles of champagne
  • 4 bottles of wine
  • 2 bottles of port
  • 1 vodka
  • 1 whisky
  • Half a bottle of rum
  • Half a bottle of kahlua
  • and ten energy drinks



ahahahaha, omg that sucked carrying down from fourth floor. Also, one of the guys from climbing - who's very straight - and I have sort of started flirting. well, we kind of had before, but he had steady girlfriend (they'd been together for years) up until like, two months ago and so. I had the climbers over about six months ago, and while the others went home around 2-3, he didn't leave until 6:30. There's definitely something there, and Stine even commented on it, but we're both sort of hesistant. Possibly because we haven't been together alone since then. hmm.

In other good news, I start work tomorrow. My oldest cousin is part of Scandinavian DesignLab, and she called me while I was working on my thesis. They needed a general office slave since they'd been left hanging by the two earlier people they'd employed, and she knew I'd be done (well. I'm not really, but I told her and she seems cool with it) by now, and asked if I wanted to come work for her for a few months, get some experience and make a little money, you know. My contract runs until the end of February, with the option to extend it, if both parts find out that this works for us. The pay isn't anything to write home about, but it's still more than I've been making, and it'll look sweet on my CV. Plus, I can look for job in the meantime, and if I don't find anything, I can possibly stay on there. I'm pretty excited.

Of course, I'm still officially employed at both the bakery and by Teach Train. Awkward.

So how are you?

UGH I HATE WORKING ON MY THESIS.

Seriously, when I'm working on it, I feel stupid and have no clue what I'm doing. When I'm not working on it, I feel guilty that I'm not.

I hate cramps.

So that's my life. Thesising and dieting and a whole lot of procrastination.

So, sis loved her present which was awesome since it was fairly cheap compared to previous years.

Dinner was pretty nice, grandpa behaved most of the time, and we bowled for 2 hours. (Grandpa drank his weight in $11 G&Ts, he kept asking dad to get him get him a new one 'less water this time'.) I was in the lead for a lot of the time, but my mom showed a hidden and surprising talent for bowling, and would have won if dad hadn't evened out the score on his last turn, and they tied for 1st place. Mom of course still persisted that she won, and she even text-messages me today at the library to remind me. :P

My right shoulder was pretty sore today, I have to admit.

I spent 6 hours at the library today, 9-3, ugh. I wrote 3 single spaced pages, and I can probably doctor that up to around 6 (with quotes and actual, full sentences, etc.) which I'm going to do tomorrow and hopefully get it send off, as my adviser is impatient. whoops. :">

It's my sister's birthday. 22, I can't really believe it. Of course, it's pouring down. (old wives' tale: if it rains on your birthday, you've been bad.)

We're going to dinner and bowling. I'm a little annoyed, because I'm made to celebrate her 3 times this year. It would be fine if it was any other year and I wasn't in the middle of this %%&*@^%&*^*&#&*&@^%*&@ dissertation. We first tried to get tickets to a stand-up show, and we could get tickets, but not on her birthday, but for Friday. So, we got those. Of course, she then thought it wasn't for her birthday, and I do understand wanting to do something on her actual birthday, so now we're doing tonight.

She then also invited me to the thing she's doing with one of her friends who turned 26 last week. That's this saturday. She wants me to meet her friends, and that's fine, but I just don't have that much in common with most of them. I have more in common with her friends from highschool, honestly.

Also, her ex is going to be there. "He can't wait to meet you." and then she asked me to be nice. I'm not going to be rude to him, but I'm not going to sit around and chit-chat with him either. I don't understand why she wants him there in the first place. Is that weird? If a person had treated me a shittly as he has treated her, I wouldn't want to be friends with that person, and yet, they're doing school papers together and she defends him all the time. "Oh he's much nicer now, we're very good friends," etc. etc. I can't decided if she's being very mature and I'm being super petty, or if she's just being really, really stupid. Eh.


My friday/saturday is going to be so busy i don't know if I'll enjoy it. Friday we have the stand-up show, and right after that I'm going to the party of (that is, make an appearance at) one of my friends's Master's party, then I have work Saturday from 7:30 to 17:30 and my sister's dinner right after that (she wants me to go clubbing with her, I doubt that'll happen.) and then I have to work on my dissertation all Sunday, because I was bad and totally didn't meet with my adviser yesterday, and I really want to hand him 20 pages on Monday. o_O

Plummers were here to change a rusty pipe. They left a huge mess and took down my shower curtain rod even though I'd moved the actual shower curtain. It was a bitch to put back up.

When you see this, post another Supernatural quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on

Dean: I think he wants us to pick up where he left off, you know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.

Happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] digital_diva, [livejournal.com profile] glendaglamazon and [livejournal.com profile] trumpeterofdoom! :D I hope you all had wonderful birthdays!

I made a kick-ass dinner thurday night for a few friends, and we went out afterwards to something called 'Mexi-bar'. I got the best ever strawberry daiquiri, and hit on by three guys (one guy who was pretty young, insanely drunk and it was a total mindfuck, because he looked *so much* like Rasmus, only this guy was actually actively hitting on me; the other guy was this Norwegian dude who at random times would break off his conversation with his friend and just turn around and stare at me for a few seconds. It was kind of creepy. he tried chatting me up, but he was kind of weird, and I don't understand Norwegian that well, and then he got pissed off when i didn't want to clink glasses with him. The third one was the best by far, that is, until after he left and we realized he'd puked on the floor right before he bounced. And he wasn't that drunk, so he must've done it on purpose. Gross.)

Friday I had a long, slow hangover. It kind of sucked.

Saturday my sister came and spent the night. (My mom had guests from Norway and she was kicked out of her bed for the weekend) we had sushi and watched Juno. It was nice.


I was friended yesterday by a [Bad username or site: <chrysler_fujii @ livejournal.com], but the journal has been suspended. Anybody know this person?


Also, please note my new default icon. Dissertation, what?

I wrote almost four pages yesterday for my dissertation. I made up for that uncharacteristic development by staying home today. me FTL.
ihearthings_ii: (well shit)
So, I'm back on the working out wagon, and for about two weeks now I've been eating pretty healthy. Lots of veggies, fish, bulgur, fruit and whole-grain rolls. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but I am trying to lose 10 kgs by the time I'm done with my dissertation.
I know it's a little ambitious, but I already lost a pound on the food thing alone which is super encouraging. I'm so not one for starving myself, but I've stopped eating candy and cakes with my coffee, less sugar in my hot beverages and cut out junkfood, and it's awesome that I can still eat and not feel hungry all the time, and still actually lose some weight. (Also? My home-made hummus is awesome.)
The working out is also great, although I am pretty sore all the time!

Dissertation actually moving forward. Had a meeting with my adviser which went about 100000% better than I had hoped. He said he'd do anything to help, and was very realistic about the end result, which was great. I'm starting to feel like I might just be able to do this. (As opposed to, 'well I have to do it, so.')

I have however started clenching my jaw and teeth. It's not actual grinding, just clenching, which is annoying. I know it's stress-related, so I hope that it'll stop once I had my dissertation in. As of right now, I am actually considering buying one of thoese teething toys you can freeze. To prevent myself from not clenching my jaw, my mouth is either wide open or i have my tongue poking out which is also kind of straining.

I'm also growing my hair out. It's part laziness and the cost, and partly me actually wanting long hair again. When it's all long, I'll chop it off, just wait and see. But yes.

Someone should come vacuum my apartment. And keep me company. I'm such a hermit, at the moment.

I can't wait for the new season of teeveeeeee. OMG, that's going to be annoying with the whole school thing, but man.

On that note, CW! What the hell is wrong with you? You promote the shit out of OTH and Gossip Girl (I'm sorry, but GG means Gilmore Girls) and that steaming pile of fail that is the knock-off 90210 show before it's even begun (sorry Corbett, but it's true), but Supernatural gets no love. What the hell? You couldn't send Jensen to be awkward with Letterman or Jimmy kimmel, or at the very least send Jared to charm Mizz Tyra or something? Or how about some promos that has NEW PICTURES??? For shame, CW, FOR SHAME.

Right. Studying.

I had a meeting last tuesday about my thesis - I was supposed to hand it in Friday the 15th, and my god I was sweating like a whore in church the entire 15 minutes. I am so far behind. I am such an idiot. Next three months might not be spent in meathooks, but it'll be close. Why am I such a procrastinator? Why don't I learn from my academic mistakes? Why do I clearly remember making at least one other post like this? *sigh*

Also, we have these thesis contracts (do other countries have that?) and since I'm getting an extension, I have to do a second contract, which I need my advisor to sign. I haven't been in contact with him like you are supposed to, because I've hated having to contact him when I wasn't as far along as I should be. I went to his office to get his signature, but he wasn't there, and there was even a note up that said he wasn't available as an advisor for this term. Since he wasn't there, I emailed him, but he hasn't responded, and now I'm pretty worried. Urgh. On the upside, these past three days, I've read an average of 200 per day. \o/

Apropos of nothing, this gif Photobucket has showed up a few times on ONTD and it's so awesome. This guy is arguably one of the best Danish comedians ever. He's in all the best old Danish movies that is such a guilty pleasure of mine.

And speaking of Denmark, remember I had comment beef with this guy last year about the dreadful Danish grocery store experience? Well, now, finally! He's found a "real" grocery storel. Apparently this grocery store falls in the category of 'real' because it carries American foodstuffs. And fabric softener! (... I'm not sure why Danish fabric softener isn't good enough for him.)

Urgh. I didn't really want to get into it with him again because he's not only an asshole, he's also young and entitled, but someone else said "I find it somewhat offencive that you call it "A real grocery store" because it has American crap." and his reply was "Go cry over ice cream about it then."

Lovely.

The mail address i get my lj stuff to get the weirdest spam. It's all about HORSEFUCKED WATCH THIS BITCH AND DOG NASTY FUCKD THESE GIRLS ARE EXXXTREME and then in between 10 spam mails like that there's always a single Christian dating: Are you looking for the One?
