Still going strong!
The weather is grey outside, but I don't care. After all, it's nothing compared to the winter on the Norwegian West Coast. (OK, I'll stop talking about the weather). Leif Olav and myself have spent two whole days working with Shipping Economics, and I feel we have a quite good grasp of the entire curriculum. Today we'll try to sum things up a bit and answer some previous exams along with reading fresh market reports and outlooks to get a grasp what have been and what will be going on.
I wrote a post a couple of days ago, but it miracously disappeared. It was about Christmas and New Year's Eve, and it was of course the best piece of material I have ever written. At least that's what I can say now... Anyway, I'll try to give a short version. First of all, the Christmas holiday had one flaw. It was over WAY too fast. I had a great time with Elisabeth, family and friends, and the food was ten notches above my everyday meals in London. I was well taken care of!
New Year's Eve was celebrated at Anna and Tommy, it was a great party. Although I had seen many of my friends earlier in the holiday, I was fortunate so see all of the that night! I have some great pictures, but due to the fact that I left the camera in Haugesund, none of them will be posted at the moment..
Next weekend, after the exams, Joakim and Karl Kristian will pay me a visit. I suppose I'm required to give them a tour of London, so maybe I'll get tickets on one of those sightseeing buses.. For them of course... On Saturday we're going to Craven Cottage to see Fulham vs Newcastle, and as that stadium is located directly by the Thames, I suggest you bring warm clothes, boys! Karl Kristian is destined to see Camden as well, so beware Gyldenpris! More obscure t-shirts and shorts will arrive shortly!
Sildajazz 2005 when Karl Kristian and myself decided to supply our hawaii shorts with fresh air.
Also, I'm applying for a trainee job in Statoil nowadays as well. It's gonna be a very hectic semester with lectures (which require a LOT of reading before and after each), group and individual assignments along with applying for jobs. What can I say? I LOVE it!

I haven't checked out your tip yet as I am cramping for my exam (but, ofcourse taking some valuable time of for my beloved blog), but I definetely will. I advise you to check out Nick Drake, but you probabely already have! I like your blog..The bus tour of London isn't too bad actually..

Joakim: Sorry, tickets to the home supporter side.. :) But your fascination for Newcastle was the direct reason for the choice of match... :D
Lisa: Of course! Nick Drake is fantastic. Iron & Wine from Florida (Miami) are in my opinion a 21st century version of Nick Drake, and they are also very good at bringing his heritage on! If that's not enough I would also like to recommend The Long Winters and The Decemberists! :) Regarding the bus tour: I agree, it is the lazy way of seeing the famous landmarks.. Upside; lot of attractions in a very short time. Downside; cold as hell in January (only on top counts!) and also the attractions are much more interesting inside... (I have no opinion on that one about Buckingham and Westminster, though...)
