A day off...

I didn't go to school today, because I have a cold. It started yesterday, and I suppose the beer and not wearing a jacket mainly is to blame. Which points out ME as the reason... Even though, my day hasn't been a complete waste. I shopped some groceries and did my laundry. To be honest, I'm still a bit shocked over the British (and apparently other countries') educational system. Here, a 3 hour lecture is a 3 hour lecture. Period. No pauses, no coffee, no fresh air... I probably just have to get used to it, though.
Long lessons aside, the school really looks great and extremely professional. I mean, we all pay a shit load of money to attend, and that, I think, is reflected in every inch of the school. My first impression of my class is that I think it will be VERY hard to excel... But I really look forward to the challenge! The class is 50 % Greek, 10% Norwegian and the rest is from all over the world.
This week and the next are induction weeks, with classes in elemetary math, economics and excel. I am not sure why I didn't say that I didn't need this when applying, but it is after all a good way to get used to lectures in English. (not to mention the lack of pauses...)
I have to say I really miss you all back home, I suppose the summer have been so busy with refurbishing that I haven't prepared myself for it. But now I have my internet up and running, which means I can listen to terrible radio commercials from Radio 102 and also see the entire "3 Brødre" on the NRK website.
Now for something different: English food... It's just not that bad. Why? Well, what is English food now? The only typical I have come across are eggs & bacon and meat pie. Both I can easily eat. Maybe the reason is that I haven't looked for it yet... Guinness is good, though ;)
I haven't bought a digital camera yet, I just can't agree with myself which one to buy. This is where you should feed me with advice, Joakim. England, digital camera, between 100 and 200 £. Go!
I think I'll move over to the school now. The lecture I'm not attending ends at 6pm (7pm in Norway), so I guess I'll hook up with the others and grab a bite. Not a beer though, I don't think my immune system will enjoy that as much as I. Take care, all!

By the way, the phone number to call me is: +44 79 149 15 796 (in case you got confused with the zeros, Håvard.. ;) ) I haven't called many, and I'm really sorry for that. But the price is sky high, so I suppose Elisabeth and this blog will be the main information sources. (Along with MSN Messenger (Sorry, Joakim: Adium))
