Complete With a Water Slide

I just aced my oral exam and now it's officially summer vacation!

In Norway we don't have exams in all our subjects. They pick out three subjects that you have to do a written exam on and one where you have to have an oral presentation. My written exams where Norwegian and English Literature, and I won't know the result of those until July. My oral exam is a forty-eight hour thing. So on Tuesday I found out that I came up in history. (Remember how I said anything but history, please? Yeah, so I was bummed about that for a while.) Then I was given a pep-talk by my teacher and given the assignment: "The Cold War and Norwegian politics from 1945 to 1975." Yes. That's a whole lot of history. Then I was given forty-eight hours to study and make a presentation. Then I went home and I... well I slept. Yeah, I went home and I slept for an hour and a half. That's how I deal with stress. I sleep.

Let's just say that the last 24 hours have been an emotional roller-coaster. You know those montages in movies, where one second the heroine is typing like crazy, books everywhere around her, then she's crying hysterically, then she's reading some more, then she's running around her room tearing her hair and yelling at the walls, then she's typing, then she sits completely still and staring at the wall, then some more crying, some more studying, then she's sitting and eating cheezits with a vacant expression? Yeah, that's me.

And I'm not even joking. When I finished my script last night, and all I had to do was learn it, I suddenly was struck by the feeling that I had misinterpreted the assignment and that I was going to fail. So, nice feeling to go to bed with. Luckily, the brain is a wonderful organ and when I woke up this morning it remembered all the things it needed to remember.

When I'm stressed I become a nightmare. I'm not joking, I feel sorry for all my loved ones because I get this giant need to share my misery with everyone. I am incapable of suffering alone, you see. So my boy, who is not really my boy, but kinda sorta is, has had to suffer through an endless amount of texts where I urge him to come and shoot me, because that would be the most humane thing to do, then where I just talk nonsense, and just. Yeah. I become completely crazycakes.

But that's not important any more, because it went so incredibly well! I knew all the things I needed to know, and when they asked me questions afterwards I knew the answers to those as well! I got a 6! SIX! And I'm so proud, and happy that I didn't disappoint my teacher (which was my biggest fear!) and I'm just grinning from ear to ear!

I'm also really proud of the fact that I managed to stay away from LJ, Tumblr and Twitter while I was working. Really, amazingly well done. The only site I allowed my self was Texts From Last Night which I find endlessly amusing, and it's a great place for my brain to just take a break and laugh for a while.

So now, it's officially summer vacation and I have survived an other year of school. Now I only have to suffer through a year where I take all the subjects I've dropped: Geography, Nature, Spanish, Math, and Social Knowledge. Doesn't that sound like fun, kids?

**Other news. Go sign up for narniaexchange it will be fun! We have lots of treats planned for you, so people won't be bored and drift away!

I have become a total football nerd. Or, no, that's not quite right, I'm only a nerd for my team. I don't give a fuck about the rest of the teams, only that we beat them. My team- Stabæk Fotball- is our local team and I have been a fan since I was five or something. But it's only lately that I have started getting passionate about it. My brother is a total football-idiot and I guess I caught his enthusiasm, or something. All I know is that I have never had more fun than I did on Sunday when I stood among the other supporters and sang, yelled and jumped throughout the match. And it's real fun to have something to do with my brother, just the two of us.

My point is that I'm probably gonna go watch the match they are playing tomorrow too, even though my brother can't come with me. I'm gonna take my dad instead.

I worked out yesterday, even though I felt like crap. I was all dizzy and stuff. So I went to bed real early and slept through the night. Still, I felt really bad this morning, so I skipped my morning class and slept some more. I feel better now, but not great. I'm all dizzy, and I'm cold and sweaty. Yuck. I have to go to school tomorrow though. We are going to oversee the Parliament Question Hour, the Prime Minister will be there and everything! I hope it will be fun.

On Thursday I have a history test. I'm feeling pretty confident that it will go well. And on Friday I have a presentation about the Norwegian National Anthem "Ja, Vi Elsker Dette Landet" which translates to: Yes, we love this country. I'm sure that will go well, too.

I have finally gotten around to watch the first two episodes of the new Doctor Who and all I have to say is: AWESOME! I'm really liking Matt Smith and his Doctor. I love his energy and the way he talk. I like that he is a bit arrogant, but still very kind. I also adored the way Amy was introduced. And shit, I think I ship it already. In a non-caring way, if you know what I mean? Not liking his clothes, though! But he has a great presence which makes me forget his stupid clothes, half the time.

I can't wait to watch the next episode. But that will have to be tomorrow or... Friday actually. Don't have time until Friday. It's all very new this, not having time for fandom. I think I might like it =D
