It has been ages since I have been writing here, mainly because I have been lazy and not so focused on computers and such in the fall and now winter. I have started a new course at the University in Trondheim. I am now on the “European Studies and German” study. Only had my first semester, but so far so good. The study is about what is says, the European Union and its connections. And then it is the german part. Not particularly fond of german yet, but it gets better the better I learn it. Right now I am situated in Kiel, Germany on a month long course in “German and Germany today”. It is a bit boring from time to time, but I can feel that my german is improving slightly. At least I have learned a lot of new words. 

It is a bit strange and lonesome to be here without Johnny. I miss him greatly. I have my own little room here in Kiel, with a small bed and it feels very empty not to have anyone to share this room with. But I will manage. I have been in Kiel since the 5th of January. I really like Johnny, he actually took four days off work just to come and see me last week. We met up in Berlin late late at night on wednesday. Then we stayed there until monday when he had to go back to Trondheim. It was a wonderful weekend, and I really enjoy spending my time with him. We were tourist for a bit, but mostly we were girlfriend and boyfriend. However, the meeting on wednesday was my four worst hours in my entire life I think. I arrived at Haupbahnhof (that is the main train station) in Berlin at 20.29. And he arrived at Funkturm (that is the main bus station) in Berlin at 20.10. Johnny were then supposed to meet me at Haupbahnhof when I arrived… But he did not. And my cell phone stopped having signal/service. And I called him with two other phones, but apparently his cell phone were having the same problems (we do use the same service provider). So there I was at 20.30 at a very big train station, alone, without any means of contacting Johnny… I was so worried and sick and angry for not him being there, and sad for the same reason. I talked to some of the station workers, and they said that going from Funkturm to Haupbahnhof took at least 45 minutes, Having said that I was a bit relieved, because that meant he would be here soon. So I waited and waited, for two hours… I had him called up on the calling three times over all of Haupbahnhof. Then I got the wise idea that I could call our service provider. I also found the number to the guy we were going to rent an apartment from at the same time. I then borrowed a phone from Service Point. By some reason I said I could call the german number first, so I came to the landlord. And Johnny was with him !!! At Funkturm !!! I cried, and yelled a little wondering why the hell he was there and not here. Eventually I got to say that he should come here right away and that I would meet him at track number 15 (because that is where he should end up at if he take the right trains). He said he would get here as soon as possible. I was very relieved and felt a bit more relaxed. I went and bought some chocolate, chips and Apfelschorle (it is apple juice mixed with sparkling water), and then some Cappuccino with chocolate. And sat on track 15 and waited for 50 minutes… No sign of Johnny yet, but I could not leave that place because I did not know when Johnny would be there. I was so worried… And cold (because the tracks are outside after all, with a roof though). But then, at 00.30 he was there. I had waited for four hours, worried sick and all. My first reaction was to hit him in the chest then hug him… We stood hugging for a while, while he excused himself and was sorry. It turned out he had not understood the whole U-bahn vs S.bahn, where you sometimes have to get up and across the street to change between an U-bahn stop to a S-bahn stop. But in the end everything worked out fine. The rest of the week was really nice and I really disliked it when Johnny had to leave me again.

A couple of weeks ago I was going to eat my breakfast consisting of some form of breakfast cereal, I got the cereal in the bowl, took out the milk from the fridge, and the milk came out like some kind og chunky, gooey stuff… It did not smell bad, it was still five days until it were supposed to expire, so I thought I should give the makers of the milk a little note, Q-milk. I sent an e-mail about what was wrong with the milk, and at the same time explaining that I was happy for that spesific brand because it gives some competition to Norways largest milk companyTine.

A while later I got a note in my mail saying there was a package to pick up from this company. Happily I went to the post office and picked it up. This is what I receieved.

So I actually got five tubes of various cheese, a box of cheese and some crispbread or rye crisp.
yay to free stuff, and I love the Kavli company who sent me this :D
