take a hint?

Friday morning I saw my (master thesis) advisor on the tube - we were both headed to school. As we met by the door on the way out - I realized that he didnt recognize me! I know I've only met him a couple of times, but I must admit I was a little dissapointed...

Act like nobody is watching!

This week started with "Persuasion and Influence" and "Organizational learning". We had a lecture about the psychology of power in "Persuasion and Influence" - very cool. I learned that people with power are more likely to interupt others, they are more action oriented, less accurate in judging emotions of other people and are more likely to act like nobody is watching! If you like to know more - check out Deborah Gruenfeld at Stanford.

back to school...

Its always hard to get started after the holiday - I have been fighting the alarm clock all week. Its time for the first weekend I've had for almost 3 months! I can't remember being this exited about a weekend in a very long time! In a way I've had a very good week - the books I have ordered for amazon keep coming in the mail (one each day...) and I've finally got a new mac! I thank higher powers for norwegian consumer laws - giving me the right to a new product if the store haven't managed to fix it after two tries. My old mac was almost two years old - but now I have a new one - love my new mac!

procrastinating...

Today the term officially starts - I don't have any classes for yet another week or so, but I know I should start preparing for real! In a way I have prepared a bit, I know what classes I'm taking and I have already ordered the books online... I know what I have to do for my master - I should really get cracking on it, but....there is a but....I don't feel like it! Maybe tomorrow....

long time...

So, its been a while... I have been doing my very best at holidaying - trying to relax. The places I have gone to relax didn't have the best net access, and I have been lazy :)

School starts soon - I don't feel like starting yet - but I guess I can spend the next week to mentally prepare for the last year of school for ever (or at least for now...)! So, in a bit over a week everything this blog was suppose to be about is beginning - for real! I have some serious preparation to do! But enough about that - I want to write about how amazing the last weekend was:

The last weekend was like a whole summer holiday compressed into three days. This is what we did:

- sun bading (got a nice tan - tan lines included! I got the funniest tan lines from my sun glasses!)

- ate ice cream

- sailing and boat driving

- we went to a festival

- went bathing

- ate fresh shrimp (yummy)

- fishing - we even got fish

- stayed up late - and woke up early

- played cards

- took a lot of pictures (you see one of them here). It's taken in the middle of the night, when a boat went by.

It was so lovely! I'm so glad we got to go away - i can probably live on this for a year (and it might look like I have to)!
