Zzzz...
I am now in Sweden - writing from Henrik's desk. My boyfriend has fallen asleep, completely ruining my plans of sitting up the whole night together eating noodles and watching "The Big Bang Theory". So now I am fumbling around in the dark trying not to crash into anything. And writing a completely meaningless blog entry in order to make myself drowsy by the mere irrelevancy of my own text.
Tomorrow Henrik and I are off to Henrik's best friend's apartment to eat crayfish. Before that I have decided that I shall let Henrik show me the film "Det Sjunde Inseglet" by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. (Henrik has been dying to show it to me, probably so he can be patriotic and brag about the accomplishments of the Swedish population). However, I guess it is only fair since I forced him to sit through four hours of "Gone With the Wind" the last time he was in Norway. He was not as swept away as I hoped he would be - instead he now is walking around calling Scarlett O'Hara a bitch, Rhett Butler a retard and shouting "Oh Ashley, oh Ashley!" in a high-pitched voice. For some strange reason I still care for my cold, cynical boyfriend who has no analytical sense when it comes to old classics. (He already hates Mr. Darcy, and he doesn't even know who Mr. Darcy IS!).
To finish off with something that might be interesting: It is now official - I shall be moving to London on the 21st September! I found some really cheap tickets at www.norwegian.no. I would defintiely recommend them if you are a student like me expecting to carry lots of heavy luggage. For just a trivial extra charge, Norwegian allows you two luggage items of 20 kg each. I am so happy - this means that I am saved and can bring my whole bookshelf to London! (And perhaps sneak in an extra pair of shoes?) I e-mailed Connaught Hall and got them to advance my arrival date to the 21st from the original 27th. That will give me a couple of days to settle in and decorate my room before the International Student's Orientation Programme commences on the 23rd. How exciting is this or what?
UCL. Has it not got a lovely ring to it?

The Big Bang Theory is AWESOME! Haha, I made llama sit through four hours of wonderful Margaret Mitchellness as well. He found it a wee bit too long, I think. But he absolutely loves Pride and Prejudice! How many such guys are there in the world? Norwegian is amazing with their 40 kg allowance. Such a life saviour. I'm using RyanAir back this September, though, because I'm going via Verona to visit a UCL friend who lives there and I'm bringing my bass guitar which requires its own seat, so I had to think economically this time. But Norwegian is definitely the airline to use. Wow, this was a long comment. I'm a tad tipsy.
Yes, I love it!! Henrik introduced me to The Big Bang Theory a couple of months ago, and it was love at first sight! I love geeks!!<3 And it made me really excited to be going back to school and be a bit geeky again! Oww, you are so lucky to have managed to make llama like P&P! Been trying for a year to make Henrik watch the A&E version with me! (The Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth one). I try telling him that it is a classic story that everyone should be familiar with, but alas...! Ah well, I managed to get him to admit that "Gone With the Wind" was "ok"...that is a huge leap at least. RyanAir is good, will probably be using them frequently for shorter trips back to Norway!:D
