3 years has begun

It is raining and thundering outside, and my internet keeps falling out. But just right now, life feels like Christmas. See - no homework, I have weekend, waffles, no trips outside, just inside cozy-ness with my brother, mom and dad - plus, my grandparents from Norway! They came here Friday night, and are going home again tomorrow. It's nice to see them again, certainly. 

Too many things have been happening since start of school. Everything has been going so fast, these two past weeks where I have been idle from you. I feel mini out there - I'm now in the big, serious league. Over 700 students (I believe), and they are 17+ - most of them, at least. Then there's that very, very little handful, which are 15. There is where I am categorized. 

They have teased us since day one. The school had been turned into a very big jungle, where I had to get through tons of obstacles - walking, walking under, walking over... and being stamped on the cheeks, with the word 'puppe'. That is danish - they call all the new 1st g's that. Pubbe is like when animals have not yet hatched. See the sense?  
When we finally had gotten through the jungle, they yelled songs including puppe, and made us sit up, down, up, down - for quite a while, really. So many people. Every time we go to class just one minute before is starts, all 2nd and 3rd g's start clapping. It's getting boring now, though. Don't understand why the carry on! 

I have tons of books already. I love the school, yes. It's just weird, everything, and now it has become exhausting. It has now taken from stage 1 (everything's new and exciting! Energy is pulsing through me!) to stage 2 - everyday-life-like. Almost. I get up at 6, drive with my mom, brother and friends from class to school at 7, and then I get home at either 15 or 16. It's very different from what I am used to. See, last year I spent at boarding school, so there was no travelling, and I was with them almost 24/7. I hope you can imagine what I need to let myself adapt to, once again. Another way of life. 
Making friends are tough. All I've done is almost just smalltalk. We've been on intro-tour as well, that was... well, it was okay. I was very tired, so yet again, hard to make friends. The best moment was sitting with the creative class, where one of the guys were playing guitar - everyone sang, and it was getting dark. I'm Yours by Jason Mraz sounded so nice. 



I don't want to talk much more, really. Just a little more - I've scored myself a low-pay job! I'm your new newspaper girl, 2 times a-week. I'm not gonna work much, and the pay is pretty low, but it is still money. Some people doesn't seem to get that fact. I can't take a better job either, since I need to have enough time for myself and homework. I've never had a job before, so this is nice. I'm starting 10th september. Now I only need to sign some papers. :- )

Now, some photos. I'm glad I've been able to shoot some satisfying photos. It's from thursday to today. Tell me what you think! 


































My brother made this at a festival.

School approaching...

Today is really weird. Very, very, weird. No, in fact this weekend is just weird.

Yesterday my old schoolmates - well, those who chose to take a 2nd year at The Castle (boarding school) arrived there last night. All packed up and ready for another year. That thought is weird. Now today, it is a year since I arrived there. Nervous and eager, less-mature and unsure of what to expect. Now new-ones are dominating The Castle, rolling in - taking over my room. All my friends' room. How... weird.

Tomorrow, the 15th august, school starts for me. This is called the 'Gymnasium'. Nothing to do with gymnastics. It is sort of high school, to put it English. I'm very excited! Many new people, the biggest school I've ever been too. Nervous, bloody hell I am. 

My parents were out last night, so I sort of did my own slumber-party, alone? lol! Well, I was so bored. So I listened to crazy videos - Amish Paradise and White Nights mostly, plus songs with Ellie Goulding. She's amazing. So natural.
Oh well, I found this video on youtube: Cupcake nails. I think I almost nailed it! Ha-hah. ;P Next time it'll be better. 




So after a messy desk, and a little drawing - this is the result! 

So today I am basically doing; nothing. It's rainy outside. I wanted to go for a walk... but now it'll only be a wellness day - gonna care for my hair, use a face-mask and treat me feet! I don't really feel like doing anything either, because it is the last day of holiday. I feel so lazy, but lost. 

Till next time - when I am a student....,
Kathrine.

Proud, but bored

So now it is August the 11th. June passed. July passed. Summer is cold, grey and rainy. How shitty! 

I was out running today. Started raining, but it went better than last time, went faster and less tough. But I'm actually proud of myself. I have lost over 2, nearly 3, I actually think, kg. over the summer. And yes, I've been away on Mallorca, and having guests over, eating not healthy... so I am proud. I have for once lost weight, and I have barely ate candy these past two weeks. At boarding school, I almost ate unhealthy plus candy every single day. So I am proud for that :- )   

But I am bored, too. The last week has been going on like this - sleep, relax, eat, relax/run, shower, relax, eat.... sort of like that. It gets boring now. My friends are either starting school or busy, so I'm just here. Tomorrow it'll be better, though - going to get my hair fixed before school, enjoy the day with my family - and then the, almost entire week with family, I suppose. Although on Saturday my parents will attend to a party, too. 

And then Monday - school starts. I am excited, nervous and veeeery eager. This is the big league for me. There are gonna be over 1000 people, and this'll be serious. I like that, very much. But I really hope I will make some good friends. We are 28 people in my class - 4 boys! Haha!  I'm taking Spanish A, English A and Society Studies B. Those are my main subject :- ) 
Just a picture of my hair, after showering. Then there is at least one funny picture in this blog entry, if you missed that!! :- ) really almost the only interesting photo I have right now - haven't done much shooting lately. Check my tumblr for some, if you'd like. 

Love, 
Kathrine

Bork Vikinghavn

Bork Viking-harbor. I was here at a little vacation a while ago - it was around when I was at the Sand Sculpture Festival, 2 days after that. I haven't gotten around to uploading them yet - so here goes! 
























It was just all kinds of viking stuff - ships, shops, houses, sculptures... and the vikings themselves. Not much more to say - it was okay, I'd say ;P the houses insides were very interesting.
