The clock is 01.17 AM and I'm at UNI, promised a friend I would chat with her on Friday, her Friday, anyway, I got here around 10:00 PM and have been watching movies online since I got here, tried to find some old classic Swedish ones but ended up with weird horror movies, at least they are free.
UNI has the perfect settings for horror movies, dark windows everywhere, the sound of the fan in the aircon going round and round, the rain smashing down on the plateroof outside the 24/H room.
Well here I am and I'm not worried about anything, well a job would be nice, I've been back to that place a couple of times and everytime I'm there the woman says she will call me back, one more time ought to do it.
So lets watch Skeleton Key 2, havent seen the first one, but this one looks funny so I might go and look for it after this.
It's in 2-D...whatever that means.
Good old horror movies.
Oh yeah and guess what, England might loose the ashes here in Aus, hope they do!
Cricket is quite the game.
Australia had a prety bad run with 268 runs but guess what, England got 10 vickets out!
So Australia has a better chance of winning, they have to win after loosing in Adelaide and draw in Melbourne.
Owell enough about that.
Cya later

I did it
One semester done and over with, after my last exam today, no more semester two and also free until March the first, so that means I can use my rights to work fulltime and apply for bigger jobs.
The best thing with todays exam is, I don't have to pass it to pass that topic, ofcourse I will try my best, two short answers, around 250 words each and one essay question, 500 words.
I am also thinking about joining a club, question is, which one?
I have been looking at Ecoturism, Cricket, Football (...soccer), BUG (Bicycle, usage, group) and the photography club. Owell, we'll see.
I had an exam yesterday, two hour's, Australia and the world, went as it went, we'll see how well or how badly soon enough.
I have also decided to do my major in environmental studies, so I do International Relations with major Environmental Studies, going to be heaps fun.
I want to try to get countries like Sweden and Norway to sell less plastic bags and do as they are doing here in Australia, bags that doesn't harm the environment and that can be used over and over.
If more countries use these then the production of environmental harmfull plastic will be lowered and the environment won't be put in the same stress from plastic.

Finaly something about UNI
Finaly I have something interesting to say, or well, stuff about UNI to say.
I was thinking to my self before, "Since I started this course in the middle of the year, does that mean I am supposed to enroll in year one semester one topics or is it free passage so I enroll in year two semester one topics.
(and can the guy who drinks nuts next to me stop tipping his whole frigging body bakwards more when he drinks those nuts than when he's actually drinking water, it's irritating)
Anyway, so now after running around campus like crazy I finaly found his office, issue there is that on his office door were a note saying: In city on buisness, back at three pm.
So here I sit, waiting, wondering, singing a song and get irritated on the guy who drink nuts.
For people who don't know whats so important with the enrollment it's this: IF I GET IT WRONG I LOOSE MY VISA! Clear enough for you?
Also I'd like to avoid being here an extra semester if it's possible, even if I like it here, there are still other places I'd like to study in, however I can check Australia of the list.

what a day
Here I am, in the library cellar working on my computer, writing about eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, I haven't even started yet with the website and it all has to be done before four pm tomorrow, but it's so much work and with all the extras from UNI it's crazy, this semester I've been writing more than 14 thousand words in different essays.
At the top of that I have to walk from where I live to UNI because I don't have a bicycle.
The first exam will be at 8.45 AM and last for three hours on, Australia and Indonesia, Australia and Japan, Australia and USA, Australia and China.
I will probably have to write a nice big essay in it as well.
Owell, I've been working hard this whole semester, no point in throwing in the towel yet.

Owell, I might do the master somwhere else.

Some might call it.....
Doomsday, judgementday, god's right to judge us all in one sweep, I call it human idiocy, I'm sitting here reading the news on Gp.se we have a guy who shoot people for no obvious reason, three guys started a knife fight on a tram, people kill and murder others rob, sure Adelaide isn't all that much better, last week an old lady were brutaly attacked and beaten to death by some one, but still, since I've left Sweden to study here life there has changed radically.
It seems as if people are insane more violent than we ever have been before, what's going on here?
People are afraid of leaving their homes, we have wars, soliders from all over being killed for a war that has been going on since the 80's.
A couple of weeks ago a girl in Nigeria got beaten up by muslims because she preached and she was christian some my say it was her own fault for preaching inside their mosque, still, this world is more sickening than anything else.
Yet days pass as if this was normal, as if it's nothing.
People probably think that "ah shitt happends, it's not here anyway"
Right it's not, but does that mean it can't happen?
I remember how it was when we had a murder in Moss, people were scared of going out until the police caught the guilty.
And if one person kills, what stops others from doing the same thing, getting a gun these day's doesn't seem to hard, bet I could do it illegal with the right contacts. (not saying I will)
Don't need to since I have the rights to own firearms.
So will we just become more and more angry and dangerous for our surroundings?
Does that mean we are going bakward in evolution?
May be that's what happens when we let anything and everything procreate and let their genes travel onward.

So much to do
Since I've started this semester I've written, essays with together more than 8700 words pluss I've read more than 500 pages in different topics, I've only skipped one lecture to finish an essay and I also been up in time to get to UNI every day 6 Am.
In the weekends I relax with movies that I borrow for free from UNI library at the same time I'm looking for jobs in Adelaide.
I am active in my tutorials and I alway speak my mind.
Now I have one 500 report for wednesday next week and I also have to make a list with pro's and cons for tourism on Island resort's.
I also have to find out as much as I can about education and development in Nigeria and some cheesy facts about the Ogoni people.
Now what else, oh yeah, I have to make a website about the Baltic Sea (Bothnic Gulf) which has to have an essay on 2000 words.
After that there's only the group presentation about Nigeria and two exams left.
What a semester!
Times have surely changed, when I lived back home I never did anything towards school, I did minor things but doing them properly? NEVER! Now all of a sudden I'm doing what I am supposed to and even more suprisingly I love it, I love searching old books about information, I love reading abour Gorbachev, Stalin and other famous historic images, I love discussing enviromental issues in my classes and I love to read about different cultures how they are messed around by their government or forced to leave their land where they have lived for ages.
I love this semester, even if it's so much work, it's heaps of fun and I reacon I can do theese three years with no actual problems!

small bugs with nasty bites
The other day when I was going to get some water I took a step outside my room and fellt something burning under my foot, when looking on the floor and searching I see a teeny bug, just a few miutes later I feel lightheaded and dizzy, it feels as if I'm drunk even if the last thing I drank was water, asamof I've only drunk water the whole day.
Made me realize one thing, this sure isn't home, when bugs that back home would irritate you can kill you and they live together with you inside your home, that's different.

Shitt of the earth
First of all, let me apologize for the strong tittle, but I feel I can't hold this in any longer.
I whish the ultimate evil would just banish from this earth, blown to pieces, burned, killed, removed, the virus has to go and the weed which grows all over this wonderfull planet should be removed.
What am I talking about?
Humanity, or if you can call it that, I stick to, twolegged beasts that kill for fun and ruin everything in their path, in due time we will have comsumed everything on the earth, what will we do then?
Search for new ways in the galaxy, hah!, that only proves my point that we are like roaches, viruses, we destroy one cell or cropfield and then we move on.
Malthus said it first, the population should be reduced, don't help the people that need it and they will die of naturally, well I say take it to the extreme, there are people that don't need to exist, humankind could just aswell burn and be another speices that are lost in the history if time, earth will gradually return to it's normal state, whatever that is, what we know is that it doesnt matter where we look today, we see changes that are a direct result of human involvement, wethter it's trees in england or water shortage in japan.
We are a terrible species, we put ourself at the top at the hiarchy and we also put us ahead of other species on this planet, human arent animal accordint to scientists, so why do we have wars? Isn't that anger a production of instinctal thoughts, the same goes for rasicm, hatred towards others that are different from us.
Stupid, sure we are animals, with a sick desire to kill animals for the entertainement of others, you know what, if we want entertainement of living things, stop bullfighting or cockfighting, go for the ultimate test, ultimate beast versus ultimate beast, reopen the coloceum, force death sentenced prisoners to fight for their life, winner lives to see another day, looser, well you get the point. What rights do we have to throw a bull up against a guy with a two meter spear that he pokes the bull with? What rights do we have to decide what animals should be where, we made borders for the nortic wolfes (the few thats left that is) now what the hell is that good for?!
Last time I checked wolfe's didn't have map's or gps or any other thing to tell them where the hell they were, the only way for them to know an area from another were smell of other heards.
As I said, human are viruses, we polute, we use, we barely care for anything else then ourselfes, the great mankind, didnt we walk on the moon? didnt we go faster then the sound barrier? Didnt we climb mount everest without airsupply or go to depths so insane that no man alive could've been there?
What we are is nothing but shitt, I'm ashamed to call myself human, I would rather see this whole mankind die out, like dinosaurs, like other "higher" beings have been before us.
The only fear is, that after we are gone, some milion years from now, evolution will restart, new species will start develop and before we know it another self sentered species will be on top of it all, doing the same bloody things as we are, killing of the animals they think are useless or less worthy.
Life is a cycle, but this pisses me off.
I dont care what people think, let's hope that our "leaders" of the world will wake up and realize that they are focusing on the wrong hellish things!
Enviroment, nature, wildlife wellfare, now thats important!
Not who has the biggest guns, or best groceries!

Step up or die
Life is unfair, many try and fail.
Many people today that are rich becomes rich without having to work for it, some people are born into it and others cheat the system to get it.
Problem with life is, if you give up and become a doormatt people are going to take advantage of you, use you so they can climb up the ladder, there are people that work fifty years in the same position to see the higher rank taken by some kid that just finished highschool, I read a blog about a woman who went from work to work because she were treated badly in them, in one she were sexually harassed, when she complained she got fired, in another she got spat in the face because the customer didnt like coloured people and she's just like me, adopted.
Life isnt fair, but if you let it step on you, let it do whatever it want to you, you wont get far, sure I screwed up majorly last semester, but I'm not giving up, not yet, I'm not going to be stuck in a deadend job, picking up smaler peices for others.
It's time to give life a fist in the face and get on with it!

A real awakening
At UNI today they started talking about ethnisity and culture, some of the people said that they were proud Australians and no matter how they looked at it they were Australians, they couldn't change it even if their wanted to, some of them seemed to indicate that where you are born is where your ethnisity lies, so what is my ethnisity?
Swedish?
Would any swedish person actually agree that I'm swedish?
How about Brasilian then?
Same story there, I'm born there and thats about it.
What can I say that I am?
I've said all my life that I'm swedish because I'm raised that way, swedish culture.
This reminds me about the family who locked their youngest son inside their cellar together with some dogs, the boy started to act like a dog and even thought he were a dog, but no matter how people looked at him, he were a human thinking he was a dog.
Isn't this a bit of the same?
After I became older "wiser" I started asking myself all theese questions, I've always had this void inside, wondering who I am, what my family's history would be, if things could've been different.
I'm not saying that I do not appreciate everything my family has done for me, still are doing for me, don't know where I had been if it wasn't for them, I love them like a son would love his family, but at the same time there's something missing.
I actually envy most of my friends because they know who they are, where their genes come from, they feel the mateship with everyone else and doesn't stick out like me or other's like me.
A reason for me going to Australia more than study were that I belive I can find myself here, find a place I feel I belong in, I don't belong in sweden or norway, I was raised there but I feel like a black sheep in a white sheep farm.
Take Norway for instance, I have been acused for drugsmugling, for being an anchorchild and also every damn time I travel across that border, wether it's by plane or by bus they stop me, why? Because I look different, it doesn't matter that I speak the language fluently or that I've lived there for ten years, in their eyes I'm nothing but an immigrant who rapes their daughters and start pointless fights.
I've been yelled at on the street by normal people, "damn nigger go back where you came from", is it weird I feel like I don't belong?
Who am I really?
I can speculate about my genes, I think that my ancestors came to Brazil from Africa where many slaves where removed, many of them where brought to Brazil or South America, I only think this because I've been told that I look like an african.
But what do I know, I will probably live my whole life wondering, asking theese questions, never get a proper answer or even a hint.

Nighttime working
Here I am
Working on my assigment, I should be sleeping, but I can't, I wont.
Not until I'm completely finished with this, for some reason I work better at night.
I'm more concentrated and actually read through papers and books more carefully.
At the same time what I'm writing about is really interesting, eutrophication in the Baltic Sea also known as Östersjön, basicly what I've found out only in half an hour is that the dephtpenetration has been reduced in the baltic sea since 1940 and this could be a direct link to eutrophication.
First of all, what is dephtpenetration?
Dephtpenetration is a meassurement that tells us how far down in water light can travel before vanishing. If dephtpenetration is to low in let's say a lake, the bottom will be ruled bu abiotic factors and bacteria that doesnt need air.
What is Eutrophication?
This is something I'm hung up with, I blame the swedish aggroculture (farming) for most of the problems in the Baltic Sea, which means: Minerals such as nitrogen and metals are drained from the farms and goes to the closest water recource, rivers or into the ground, where it eventually ends up in either the ocean or the Baltic Sea, the minerals are there to start plant growth, corn, leduce, you name it, so it starts a reaction in the water, plancton multiplys, this is something in comon with all marine plants, the problem is that since plant plancton also multiplys the depthpenetration get's reduced and things on the bottom starts to die, in sweden this year over 200 spieces in the swedish redlistbook won't be there even though they were there last year, most of theese are marine spieces that lives in the Baltic Sea since it's a mixture of salt and freshwater.
This alone should make it into a national park, but no, that won't happen and agriculture can keep on dumping their crap into it.

Everything has it's place
I realized today that my room looks like Hiroshima after Big-Boy hit it, ruble here and there, waterbottles spread out on the floor, papers, clothes and more in my bed and the list goes on.
But what I also realize is I know where everything is. Eg, all my schoolthings are infront of the door, the first thing I see when I get home are my books, papers and so on from uni and since they are there I always know where they are and will always find them in case I need them. Plus I'm always on top of my work, knowing what I have and when they are due, if they had been tuced away in a draywer or in my bag I wouldn't notice them.
So stuff are everywhere and I know where they are, this take me back to before I came here, when I lived in a small cellar room at my mother's, I had the same kinda system there, but wasn't allowed to follow it, because it looked unorganized, but it wasn't.
Actually I never found anything after my mother had secretly cleaned my room without me knowing.
What does that mean?
1. Everyone creates their own enviroment.
2. If someone disturbs that enviroment the owner would be confused or even angry.
3. What might look like a battlefield can infact be more organized than what doesn't.
That's it for now, later I will put up the grades and what they mean.

six months
Wow, today it's six months since I arrived here in Oz, it feels like I've been here forever.
Six months ago a nervous young boy arrived in Adelaide, today a less nervous and just a tad more manly...boy sit by his computer, writing about six months ago.
I've learned so much about Australia and alot about people, I meet new people almost every day and altough not all of them are friendly I still enjoy myself.
The thought of moving back home seems alien and odd, it feel's like I could stay here forever, become an aussie. (not before the world cup in Brazil kicks of though)
Twenty years and the world is my playground, (well almost) I also mett this guy at a party the other day and he told me of a project that international students have toghether with their embasy in Canberra which allows them to litterly get a foothold inside the embasy, sounds like something for me.
Just to quote a great song:
Tell me what you hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different to view the world
I would like you to know
When you see the simple things
To appreciate this life
It's not to late to learn
Anyway, the more I see the more I wanna know, the more I learn and this course I am doing can really help me get a good foothold in Oz weither it's human rights or govermental work.
My life is at it's beginning soon I will be on top of it all.

Okay, so I've been talking about Australia in so many way, how nice this country is and how much I like it here.

first day at uni since holiday kicked in
Now what did I learn about UNI today?
For starters I learned that Science is alot harder than most of the topics, basicly in for instance Australia and the World, all I need to do is write a three thousand essay about something (don't know what choices we have untill next TUT) and I'll get 50% of my mark, now to pass the course all I need is 50%, I get 40% from the exam and 10% from going to the tut's, in science however we had labs, rapports, fieldtrips, tuts, exams and normal tests, see the difference?
This semester is going to be fun.

just the same
I know this will be a bit cheesy and kinda clicheish, but I just had to write this.
I first wrote this when I was lying on the grass with my friends, I was looking up at the sky, one of them were stealing another shoes from a friend who didn't realize what was going on, the third was just laughing being herself and the other two were comforting each other, holding each other talking, as I looked up I realized that it's all the same, the sky and the clouds, no matter where in the world we are we still share those things, we might be in Sweden, Australia, Holland, Argentina, England or the US but we can all look up and remember, remember the laughs, the jokes, the partying and the tears, remember being there for each other and treasuring the days we spent together, our camping trips and movie nights.
We can't turn back time, but we can always remember lost days.
I'm sure I'll see most of you guys again, I hope I see you again, maybe some day at the Austral or in your own countries, I hope all of you dream about the same.
Even if seeing some of you will be hard, we will see each other somehow.
And till that time we can always look up, wondering if someone else are looking up as well, dreaming, remembering, hoping for the others well being.
You guys made my first six months in Australia great and I love you all for it. (not in a gay way or maybe a bit)
Great friendship never dies and so I hope our friendships as the original six lives on.
Thanks for six wonderful and great months guys.

football is'nt healthy for me
As the title says football is'nt healthy, I just saw Brazil loose against Holland. (how the f?!) All the old feelings came flowing back, the rage, the anger, the feeling of loosing control, the feeling of wanting to go into a fight with the first person who spits the loss in my face, friend or for alike. Even as I'm writing this I can feel it in my arms, muscles straining, trying hard to keep a neutral face, even if I feel more like running far away. Run until all my energy is gone, just like old days.
Who would've thought that thoose old feelings were hiding still, deep inside so deep that even I thought they were gone, my anger management issues that no one in my later life (exept family) knew about.
If "youmakemesmile" had'nt made me laugh I would've cracked together in a mixture of anger and hate, sadness and rage, people would've gotten hurt and I would probably loose my student visa, or worse.
I really need to handle my anger better, I have managed pretty good theese later years since I started highschool, it's also since I got a "new" life where people did'nt know who I was or what I could do. (they didnt belive me when I told them of old days)
My arms still aches but it's starting to dissapear, I still have the sudden muscle tighting, where my muscles are pulling together so hard that my arms and legs are twitching.
Maybe I should go to a doctor or anybody.
I can still feel it, my neck straines, my muscles aching, it's like a drug (I guess) a great feeling, at the same time you worry, you're afraid.
Scared to hurt someone you care for or even love, please dont let me sink back in that dark hole.

Barack obama and the norwegian nobel peace comite are criminals
This is not the right blogg, but since I dont have a politic blog this one will do.
The thing that has been bothered me are the fact that Alfred Nobels prices are supposed to be given to someone that has done something huge for man. Peaceprice is just one of them.
This is a copy of Nobels will:
"Öfver hela min återstående realiserbara förmögenhet förfogas på följande sätt: kapitalet, af utredningsmännen realiseradt till säkra värdepapper, skall utgöra en fond, hvars ränta årligen utdelas som prisbelöning åt dem, som under det förlupna året hafva gjort menskligheten den största nytta." (http://nobelpeaceprize.org/nb_NO/alfred-nobel/testament/)
Roughly translated:
I want the money to be divided to people who has done something good for humanity.
(sorry for the bad translation)
Well at the point B.Obama had'nt done anything for peace and the comite said themselfes, "we are giving him this award for the work he will do in the future", which basicly are directly violating towards Nobels will.
This is in true fact a disgrace towards the peaceprice and right out a fellony of crime.
You cant ignore a will!
But yet we let the peacecomite do whatever they wanted.
Is this really right?
Is this how we will run this world?
"Here you go, a thousand dollar for a book that you may be writing next year"
Is'nt stealing wrong?
And is'nt it just that what have happened?
The peacecomite wrongly gave away the peaceprice to someone who did'nt deserve it and worse yet it was directly against a dead mans will.
This truth will probably never raise to the surface as it seems I was to late with my little discovery and furthermore no one cares anymore.
But I do think it's time for the peacecomite to be changed, this one does'nt know the will of A.Nobel and none of them deserves to be where they are.
People reading this, DEMAND A CHANGE!

last night, last day, forever?
Cant belive its over, five months just flying through them with great friends, but now it's over.
Last night was the last night in Adelaide city as a whole group, tommorow "Littlesis and Youmakemesmile" are leaving for Sidney and the rest of us will catch up with them in Brisbane.
Been living a great life theese last five months and my friends have become like family for me, I've been trying to prepare me for this but it's been inpossible, they mean to much to me.
I already know that I will be hostile against the next person that moves into "sis's" room.
And no new friends can replace theese ones, sure I will get new friends, but theese, my first good friends in Australia, they are special.
It's gonna be weird when all of them are gone, sure I'm gonna have "CreepyUncle" for another semester, but then he will leave and I will be left here alone.
When thinking back on all the fun we have had I realize that I've gone through so much fun with theese guys, if I tried to tell you of all of the fun we've had this one blog would be longer than "Lord of the Rings" and no one would bother to read it.
Like our trip to "Mount Z" in "Victor Harbor" or our Melbourne roadtrip along the Great Ocean Road, our celebration for "Littlesis" when all of us dressed up as "Where's Waldo/Willy", or when we stole a sign on a campingplace after I've been hiding in the tall grass for more than an hour, had scratches and wounds down both of my legs after that. (mom would have gone apeshit if she had seen that, with all the snakes and spiders)
We have had alot of fun here in Adelaide aswell, movienights, short campingtrips, fringe, cinema, planningnights at the Austral (means no planning alot of drinking).
Ah yeah...the Austral, how will it be to go there now? Will I go there by myself sometime?
I probably become one of their regulars.
Probably wont see any of the guys in a year (least), when two of them are doing Europe.
That will be fun, but its so far away, I really dont want anybody to leave, it's not perfect with all of them, but it's not the same without any of them. All of them have their special skills and way to be and I like that. (in most of them)
I dont want this to end, but it has to, life isnt always kind, I dont think I will see all of the guys again, I hope I can go to England, Holland, Argentina and France....oh yeah and USA. (that would be for Grand Canyon and a friend in New York state)
I could sit here and write forever, but I just make myself sader and sader when doing so, so I better stop before I start to cry. (why did I have to be the sensitive one, think my oldest brother should be that one instead)

tinnitus and clubs
To get a club to work you need three things, hot staff that looks good and acts like the people on the other side of that desk and loud party music. Now I'm on the dancefloor dancing around with my friends pretty close to the speakers and what comes into my mind is not how bad the music really are or how little I like clubs where you cant speak to your friends without screaming like crazy, but what is the risk for tinnitus? Let's see, speakers more or less aimed at you, music that you cant clearly make out (especially after a few beers) you can litterlaly feel your eardrums vibrate and this tiny beeping sound haunt you in the background.
What does doctors have to say about it? Will the beepingsound keep haunting you forever or will it dissapear in the morning? Sometime it does, sometime it doesnt. Many people have been complaining about me and my music usage, but so far I've only had the kinda tinnitus that goes away after a while. (yes there are more than one kinda tinnitus) (http://t-generation.20m.com/)
But the stupid ones are not the ones like me, who listen to music for full machine, but thoose who goes to the clubs and dance around as close to the speakers as possible.
When you are at a club and it sounds like a bunch of angry bees are buzzing around in your ear or people with vuvuzela (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB0pS3rPbwA) blowing in your ear, move away or go outside just take a short break.

good news everybody, I will be gone for even longer
Yes, hurray, woopie!
Great, just great, I cant belive it (yet again) I'm in, National Studies, history, culture, international history and international culture, economy, politics and so much more, its amazing!
Okay so I gave up my chance of becoming a marinbiologist for something much greater and yes I'm probably in the wrong country for doing so, but you know what? I love it here another six months wont kill me and I'm just happy.
Next semester I wont be doing marinbiology but something else, something bigger, more exiting, more expencive (sob), But I will still be able to pursue my dreams. (one of them)
I can change this world, I just know it, if I can talk myself out of any situasion and make it sound true I can become a great politician.
Next semester is going to be great, alot of fun and joy.
Less friends....but still happy. (I hope)
Gonna miss "Little Sister", "Mr McLovin", "Mr,Ball", "thats what she said" Pilu", "You make me smile" Kate, "you alright mate" Tobias, "show'em your boobs" Dany, "I dont hate you that much" Marie and all the rest of the group, we are like one big family here and we make it easier to be so far from everybody, I think the ones who arent used to be so far away to their family have it alot tougher then the older ones who have been traveling alot, like "Mr Mclovin" and Tobias.
I fear that when I'm done here I will be long forgotten by my friends who have ment so much to me theese six months, that if we see eachother again its going to be different, things change and sadly we do to.

the modern day zombie
The modern day zombie, kids on the dancefloor, instead of eating brains they eat music, as soon as the music starts they move to it as if they were possesed and in no control over their body, they jump up and down, move around, eyes soulless and their arms flying around like they where tied to invisible threads, their bodies move in unthinkable ways. Female specimin tend to move in ways to challenge other females and make males become interested and sometimes even exited.
Males on the other hand usualy moves slower and more clumsylooking, they dont push their brests out or shake their asses, probably because they dont have as much as the females to show of.
The way males captures the interest of a female is not from the dancing itself, but from how they present it, some males "accedentaly" dances upp to a female with his back towards her, he slowly turns around just like if it was a part of his dance and then he looks into her eyes.
If he gets a smile he stops in his track and start to talk to her, if not he just keeps going like it's a part of the dance. Using different techniques males can capture a female like a carnivore flower captures flies, ants and other bugs.
Drugs preferable alcohol are consumed during theese weekly rituals. However not all males like it when their female shake their parts to make other males interested. They show aggresive behaivour and become angry with their females. Sometimes fights break out when jealous males react to other males trying to steal his female. If this ocure bluedressed males and females are summoned, they are often more adult and grown up and more in controll than the young dancezombies. They have rules and are following them.
The end to a ritual for theese zombies are either when they are so tired that they cant move or when the music stops, they move out to the streets yelling and showing of to other zombies, some are asleep on benches or in toilets.
And when the sun rises the next day, we all know that theese zombies are asleep in dark rooms somewhere.
Males on the other hand usualy moves slower and more clumsylooking, they dont push their brests out or shake their asses, probably because they dont have as much as the females to show of.
The way males captures the interest of a female is not from the dancing itself, but from how they present it, some males "accedentaly" dances upp to a female with his back towards her, he slowly turns around just like if it was a part of his dance and then he looks into her eyes.
If he gets a smile he stops in his track and start to talk to her, if not he just keeps going like it's a part of the dance. Using different techniques males can capture a female like a carnivore flower captures flies, ants and other bugs.
Drugs preferable alcohol are consumed during theese weekly rituals. However not all males like it when their female shake their parts to make other males interested. They show aggresive behaivour and become angry with their females. Sometimes fights break out when jealous males react to other males trying to steal his female. If this ocure bluedressed males and females are summoned, they are often more adult and grown up and more in controll than the young dancezombies. They have rules and are following them.

cooking
Today I cooked a Swedish dish, Flying Jacob, easy to make.
Cream and something like chilisause (I used ketchup) and chicken and so much more.
It tastes so good! Almost as good as grandmas.
So from on now I'm gonna cook more swedish dishes, tomorrow I'm gonna cook ovenbaked pancake.
It feels great to cook again, havent really cooked anything since I lived in Uppsala.
Oh and uni is ticking and we are having a big project in marine biology, but that is going to pass.

future
After being here for about four mhonts I've fallen in love in Australia.
Have no idea whats going to happen in the future, all I know is that I dont wanna leave.
I want to stay here, I love it here, nice people, nice wievs, nice weather and nice people.
I wanna get a job here and sometimes I think about getting a job and not have any loan.
And after a couple of years I could apply for citizenship.
Get a nice veichle (mc) and live with it and make sure it runs and have my own small appartement.
Maybe even find a pretty girl to start a family with, I wouldnt mind a life like that.
Owell, lets see what the future brings.
All I know is, I will never know whats around the next corner

Pubcrawl and a happy mothers day
New experiences and happy moments this weekend, on friday I learned whats so fun about pubcrawls, always wondered now I know.
First:
What is a pubcrawl?
A pubcrawl is a chance to get really drunk and have fun, like a party out, exept, you dont go to one pub, you go to a couple of them, we started out at the london and enden up at the elephant.
You buy theese t-shirts a few days ahead and then you go out, we were the red team shirts, the colour doesnt mean much, but sometimes they do, like this time, we were divided into teams, red, white, pink and black, the theeme were Grease. (the T-s look terrible) I were in the red team.
I had a really god time and only had to pay for two drinks the entire evning...or maybe a few more, but! We guys had a deal and that made it so much easier, but on top of that I also got drinks from new friends. So I'm now known as Sweden, simpy as that.
Well the shirts also gives you cheaper drinks, one beer, 3 dollar, so I paid 6 dollars the whole evning. Australia may be expencive out, but it sure is fun, especially when dancing around with an Aussie Adelady who have a really positive side about her, had fun that night.
Had to look after my little sister though, started to get worried when she started to get close to this creepy kiwi. Owell, as long as she doesnt get hurt.
Anyway, mothers day, in Australia thats today and they make a HUGE deal about it, mothers day flowers, mothers day tv, mothers day dishwasher (ironic?) mothers day this and that, man makes me glad to be a male in europe where mothers day is limited to a small headline in the papers.
This is me saying happy mothers day to mums and grandmums all over the world!

The world is a smal place
Yesterday when I were at my fieldtrip they asked if anybody had any history with farming, I raised my hand but where wery quickly stopped since I said it was overseas in Norway.
Later on the lecturer on that trip asked me alittle about Norway and to my suprise asked me if I knew about Moss, as it appears she had been an exhangestudent in Moss (remember this is some time ago) I just bursted out, THAT'S WHERE I HAVE BEEN LIVING FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS! And in my head I thought, heh the earth is really not that big anymore. She told me she had lived on the island (Jæløya) and that she didnt do much study since the upper highschool where done for the semester so most of the norwegian students where in drinking mode.
What she also told me (and this is amazing) was that she had rode a bicycle from Finland upp north, across into Norway and just gone all the way down. (thats inpressive)
Owell keep you uppdated.

Words from my beloved "sister"
This is what my "sister" also called housemate posted on my wall on FB.
Now listening closely children for i am about to tell you a tale about a creature they call an Oscar ! long ago in a lnad not much different from the one we are now , their was a creature that all who learnt to both love and fear ! This creature was called Oscar, an Oscar lurks in the back of car next to a pile of good...s and if you treat an oscar correctly he will pass bag upon bag upon bag of chips ! you must treat your OSCAR kindly thou and never trap him in the car or you will face the consquences! I shall not tell you of the consquences but remember this children treat ur oscars well or suffer!
So treat me well or face the dire consequenses.
Well actually she has made some fairytales based on our roadtrip to melbourne, when I sat in the back next to the bags and stuff since it was a eight seater. Two in the front (driver ofcourse), three in the middle seats and one in the back. The one who sat in the back were responsible to pass chips and drink (usualy water) foward to the others.
Which made the back seat and the drivers seat the two most inportant in the car.

focus!
I really should keep on working with my fieldtrip report, but it seems like something else always catches my attention.
Glad it's a lot shorter than my housmates work, but still.
Stop it, get back to work kiddo.
Owell I'm halfway so I can take a lovely break, or so.
Writing a fieldreport on what we did last thursday, so even though we have midsemester break, gotta keep on working, when I'm done with the report I guess I take a small break before digging into previous lectures. (woopifreekydoo)
Work work work, I'd rather sit home and sleep or watch a movie.
Owell, breaks over, let's do this!

midsemester break!
Alrighty!
So now we're through half of the semester, wich means I have about 5 - 6 more weeks in this semester.
So what can I do during the semester break?
We are going to Melbourne the 17th and I plan to spend alot of time on uni, reading up on previous lectures and notes.
But if I know some of my friends correctly they are going to the city at least 4 out of 5 nights.
To expensive I guess.
So during theese to weeks no uni, more than free studying.
Maby a trip or two to the beach, we'll see.
The roadtrip are going along the great ocean road towards Melbourne, we are planning to spend 2 nights on it and sleep outside Melbourne before entering and deliver the rental car.
Six happy talking, loud persons in one car, this is going to be fun.
Cant wait!

Home again
And so I'm back, back from sleeping on the top of a big hill and in the middle of a campingsite with alot of chili-neighbours.
Back from sleeping in a tent cramped like fish in a can.
And guess what, I'd do it all over again, it was so much fun!
We went to Victor Harbor east of Adelaide and arrived quite late at night, even though it doesnt take long time we drow late because of Pilu and Sjoerd. When we came there, there were no campingsites open so we went a bit outside the mainarea to a small park, where it was a hill.
Ofcourse Sjoerd and Remco thinks that, hey we should put up the tent at the top.
GREAT IDEA GUYS!
Oh wait, rocks and cliffs, hm, who would've thought that the tentplugs didnt go into the ground.
We were all to tired to care so we slept in our sleepingbags outside, great fun.
When we woke up next morning we were starving and since it was friday we didnt belive anything would be open. We were so wrong.
Me and Sjoerd drove down to the main area next to the beach and found a small store where we bought some food and drink to take us through the morning.
Then we packed up the camp and headed down to the car, we drove to the campingplace and got a cheap spot.
We learned that people from Chili has big tents, they had microwave oven and propper eatingtable.
Owell, we went into town to see the puingwins, but ofcourse we didnt see any.
We had a good time still.
A good pizza and then back to the camp.
I slept closest to the right wall and kinda wish I didnt, since Vicki is a sleepmover, so she took up alot of my space, since I dont like to wake people up I just let her.
Resulting in me loosing more and more space.
The protection of the tent blew of so we were disposed to the winds. (again)
Following morning we showered and ate something, then we left for a wildlifepark, where we fedd, kangeroos and saw crocodile's. (australian ones)
And now I'm here, tired and wil probably go to sleep in.

Alright but who do the planing?
Hm...the roof is nice, so no one?
Alright then, let's just try and see what happens.
This is our situasion right now and I don't get how Vicki can be so calm?!
The guys are on their way right now and she's in the livingroom watching the telly, shouldnt we br panicing right now?
We don't even know where to go, so what's the point in letting poor Remco loose alot of gas?
This will end badly, or in a pub somwhere in city.
Let's hope for that one, I mean, yeah I have the feeling that the campingtrip von't happen.
Oh yeah, I had my presentasion today, even though my throat still isnt back to normal, I'm in better condition then I were a few day's ago. Don't know how it went, but probably not to bad.
We are going on our first fieldtrip next week. (hurray)

Land down under
Here I am
In the land down under
Had a vegimite cracker
Tasted like salt and crackers
Have men at work on my mind
Day and night
Bought a hat
Where o where have my scandinavian self gone
I say no worries
And cheers mate
Left side right side
What is right
Dont even know anymore
Well here I am
In the land down under
Where women glow
And men plouner
Listen for the thunder
When it comes you better run
Flinders uni
Big
New to me
But I love it
Different from anything
Lovely people
Great lectures
How can I not like it here
Not to be nationalistic
But Australia
You are the greatest
Not even Sweden with its western ocean
Or the places I grew up in
Can beat you
In the land down under

Tasted like salt and crackers

sick
Damn it, hate to be sick.
I have been unable to do much theese last days since thursday, mostly because I cough and nearly throw up because of a damn cold.
Figuring that the trains are to blame, they keep the AC on to much wich resaults in perfect conditions for the bacteria.
And I've nearly lost my voice, only way for me to talk is to drink something hot and that only helps for a few seconds or so.
And the worst thing is, we have an oral presentasion on thursday, how is that supposed to happen?
I cant even say yes or no without breaking into a coughingattack, it's only 10% of the mark, but that is still something.
How the hell am I supposed to beat this?
Thinking of goin to a pharmecy tomorrow and see if I can find something for the throat and possibly for the coughing as well.
I'm going nuts here, and my lungs are starting to feel it as well.
I'm just waiting for blood to come welling out of my mouth, if that happens I will probably visit the hospital, or maby Flinders Medical Centre.
Well wish me luck, because if this keeps up I cant go to uni tomorrow.
And I really dont like to miss lectures.

WOHO VOULENTEER!
Gooooood morning folks, peps, girls and boys.
I'm in a great mood today (even though it feels like my stomcah wants to jump out of my mouth)
I got a call from the guys of the student voulenteer group, they want me to join in the next trip, after semester 2, isnt that great or what?
I hope we'll go to Thailand, since I want to work on one of the communitiy programs there.
So looking foward to it, so long time left though, not that I'm sad for that.
Now the question remains, how long do I want to be there for?
Maby if I do a good enough job I'm able to work for them, especially since they are in every country. (almost)
Many who has one to UNI and worked for them kinda got stuck there, wouldnt mind to do so myself.
I love to work and I love to help people, so cant see how I loose on this one.
Not much more than that to say.

family
I am sitting here, thinking.
Thinking about my family, or more detailed, my brothers, I have three brothers, gnome, tora and benjamin. (not their real names ofc)
I can proudly say I'm proud of being their brother, I dont know what kinda influence I've had on them, not much I guess but still.
Even though I never would say this to them, but I'm glad I'm able to call myself their brother, like the gnome for instance, he were a pain in the ass growing up, but he has turned out to be a decent kid, with a strong passion for his dream to become a great ishockey goalie.
And I know he can do it, he has become strong as an ox and really are in for this.
I know that one day we will be able to see him on tv and doing great for Sweden.
Then we have my older brother Tora, he didnt grow up with me and Benjamin, but he turned out great and he has finaly begun taking more decisions in his life. Sonn he'l move out and I bet his mother will be panicked at that time.
We have my oldest brother at last, Benjamin, he has been a bit slow, but now it's going great, I know he will become something big one day, just you wait and see.
There is one more person who deserves to be here, my sister, she has two fine children and are married to a nice guy, she is moving up in this world with her studies, and she will become a great doctor.
So in the end all I can say is, mother, father, you should be proud, because you have raised three fine kids and we will do our best to prove it for you.

And I know he can do it, he has become strong as an ox and really are in for this.
I know that one day we will be able to see him on tv and doing great for Sweden.
Then we have my older brother Tora, he didnt grow up with me and Benjamin, but he turned out great and he has finaly begun taking more decisions in his life. Sonn he'l move out and I bet his mother will be panicked at that time.
We have my oldest brother at last, Benjamin, he has been a bit slow, but now it's going great, I know he will become something big one day, just you wait and see.
There is one more person who deserves to be here, my sister, she has two fine children and are married to a nice guy, she is moving up in this world with her studies, and she will become a great doctor.
So in the end all I can say is, mother, father, you should be proud, because you have raised three fine kids and we will do our best to prove it for you.

IKEA!
Hello how are you going?
I were out all monday and as I were out I saw the big blue building.
Ikea!
I thought, I would like some swedish meatballs and maby if I'm lucky they sell turkish pepper there. (liquerish candy)
And guess what, they did, I bought 2 bags of meatballs and 2 bags of mashed potatoes. (just need some milk) and then I bought 3 bags of turkish pepper and 3 bags of swedish cookies.
Yes I miss swedish food, I want flying jacob with bananas and nuts.
Owell, atleast I can eat kangroo and crocodile, I still havent tho, maby I buy some next time I'm at the supermarket, obviously I have to go to the one in Marion since the meat selection in the one in Hallet Cove isnt as great.
I miss candy and milk chocolate, that tastes like normal chocolate, the chocolate down here tastes different, they have some chemicals in it so it's supposed to handle the heat better.
THEY DONT!
They melt in an instant and if youre to slow you have chocolate all over your hands.
Owell, beach after school today, and also a barbeque for all the marinbiologists, to bad I have two lectures during the same time, but I can go there after the chemistry lecture. (yey)
This is starting to get more serious right now, we have more work and I'm on my limit, to follow the tutours in the lecture halls are hard, so I'm glad I can rewiev the whole lecture online.
It's funny though, I thought there were going to be few marinbiologists in my class, but as it turns out we are amongst the biggest classes at uni.
And still theres only 2 international, me and some girl I dont know.
I'm in a group with 3 aussies, great guys, but we should start working more.
Well all I can say now is.
Cya later.

I'm in love
And her name is Australia.
I've only been here for three weeks and can already say that I love this country.
For once in my life can I feel hundred percent certain that I'm not in any danger, people wont beat me up or throw stuff at me.
This country has it all, great people, great food, a great enviroment and while countries like norway and sweden talk about making a difference, Australia is lightyears ahead of them.
Theese are festival months wich means that the festival city of SA have alot of things going on.
Like seeing a girl press herself into a 16, inch box.
Or alot of people going out every night, laughing, drinking, just being nice to eachother.
Offcourse problems ocure, my old room mate saw a fight at the oppening of the fringe, but still, alot less than back at home.
I know that when I'm done with my studies I will be an inportant person for the society of science, I want to contribute, I don't care if I'm famous for it, as long as I can show my teachers that I learned something. One of my tutours are from Brazil, he has ewerything, from Phd to honours and that's impressive.
I can become like him, I will become like him, just you wait.
Today a girl fainted at school, we were at a lecture, and suddenly a guy raised his hand and interrupted the leacturer saying that a girl fainted. It did'nt look like anything major, but still, better safe than sound.
I also realized one small thing, I'm probably amongst the most brave people at UNI.
Why?
Because I bike all the way from Hallett Cove to Flinders UNI ewery day, doesnt sound like much you say?
Well how about this then, 4 pm rush! (scary music sound)
That is both scary and dangerous, I almost got run into by a pickup today.
It takes me about an hour to get to UNI and less to get home, good training.
We went to see Alice (the movie) yesterday. It was totaly not worth it! Glad it only costed me 10 dollars (about 50 nok) seriously, I almost fell asleep whilst watching it.
No suprise that there where only about 30 people in the room.
Owell, after the movie did all of us go to Hungry Jacks (also known as Burger King) and ate cheap fastfood that took long time for them to make, so hngry Jacks slow food joint at King Wiliams ST. The fastest one is probably the one at Marion Shopping Centre.
And now you know what I lived on the first week.
Hungry Jacks and cheap food from China Town.
Owell I survived.
Cya next time

just random
What to say, what to say.
Oh yeah, it has been raining quite alot theese two days, but still no worries.
Went on a party this thursday with some friends, it was awesome, as a friend would have said it.
Actually that guy won a dance competition, he sure can dance.
We had alot of fun, drank some beer, singing along with the music and just had some good times with friends.
We stayed at the bar untill it closed, it was on campus so it closed around 12.
But offcourse, the day after that I had an early leacture, from 9 am.
NOT FUN to be up0 early to go to school.
It's only ewery other weekday thou.
I bought a cheap bike from a friend the other day, and guess what, I used it to get from city all the way home, wich is about 20 kilometres.
One thing about Adelaide (can't say australia now can I?) is that theit busses sucks, you never know when they arrive or when they leave, the scheduales are impossible to understand and som places they dont even have the busstop on the scheduale so you have to guess where it is.
Good things, especially if you are a student, the tickets are cheap, and when you purchase one it doesnt matter where you are going, the tickets also are legal for two hours, wich means that you can go on whatever bus you like with the ticket, even if it's used on another ride.
One ticket for me costs between 1.20 to 2.20 depending on the time.
The trains here are good, the tickets from the bus works on them and vice versa.
Only thing are the time, the trains usualy stop running around midnight, wich means you can't stay in the city for long, unless you know someone or know a cheap motel or backpackers.
I like it here anyway, people are nice and I dont feel threatend by anyone here, it's not like home where people can yell things at you on the street just because you have the wrong colour of your skin.
It's nice to not be scared because people might want to beat you up.
We actually started our lectaures in school now, they didnt give us a week or anything, just right on the teaching, half hour introduction, then it was, up with your books and start with the leacture.
I dropped out of chemistry thou, it was to hard for me, so I re enrolled into a lower form of chemistry, wich is easier. And a friend of mine is in that class, we are going fishing together one day. He's from japan, and a great guy.
Owell dont know what more to say.
So sayonara and see ya later

A new vire
Stores close to early here, I came to my new room at friday and realized that I had to get a cable to connect my computer to their internet, on Saturday I arrived at the store 5 minutes to late, on Sunday I arrived at the store after being on a trip with other ISSU students to late, so now FINALY, I got a cable, just hopes this is the right one.
Owell, we were on a funny trip yesterday and I meet a lot of new friends, both girls and guys.
As it turns out not many of them are here for as l0ng as me.
Most of them are exchange students who only stay here for 6 months, like my housemate.
But I guess I use the time well and spend a lot of time with them.
I have my first lection today, starts at 11.00 am, and ends at 11.30 am.
Not to long, but I suspect this is the learning tutorial about what I can do as a marine biologist.
Truly I'm looking forward to start.
It can't be all that bad now can it.
And in about 20 minutes I have to go look for my classroom, I know the building, but I don't know where in it.
Could be everywhere.
Owel guys, wish me luck.

I can do this
Today we had a special day for everybody who had scientific and engineering on the school, the first thing that happends to me is that I'm not on the list. (oh joy)
We sit in this big room and wait for the thing to start and it does, they talk about stuff, older students tell us their story, about how they came to uni and got suprised by the freedom and liberty to do almost what you want.
One of them told us he were 17 years old when he came to uni, (what?! and I thought I'm young) he had been there for 7 years now.
We got a guided tour around campus, through the science building and some other parts of campus.
Interesting, to bad the girl who pointed out the places spoke lower than an engine that had been turned of. (hehe)
Owell in the end of the day I felt more than sick, I couldnt understand how the hell am I supposed to do this.
And then something weird happend, I thought to myself, it's good that I'm scared, if I hadnt been I hadnt taken this seriously. And suddenly I felt some kind of calm and a new found strenght, I'm gona do this, three years? Pffft give me more, I want to know everything!
I felt confident and sure that I will succeed, ofcourse not a walk in the park, but I'm gonna pass, and become a marine biologist.
We have theese math quizes next week it's especially for foreign students, (who me?, yes you, okay then) to see where they stand mathematicly. I'm kinda bad at math, but I'm gonna do this.
It's way to late to back down now. And I don't want to anymore, in the begining, especially when being at campus I feelt scared, nervous and smal, I still feel smal, but I dont doubt myself anymore, I know what I'm capable of doing, now I'm gonna turn that upp a few notches.
Marine Biologist year 2012?
YESSIR!

What to say
Well atleast I'm done with everything and ready for start.
Kinda nervous, but still I'm looking foward to this.
I can apply for projectwork next year so I'm going to do my best this year.
And the next one and offcourse the one after that.
And when I'm done we'll see what I'd do.
I have been here for six day's now, and I'm not yet used to the climate.
I mean I came from 20 - degrees to 30 +, thats 50 in difference.
Atleast I'm not hungry....all the time, I actually eat less here than I do back home, eat less but sleep more. Think that there is a connection?
Anyway, today it's quite chilly, only about 30 degrees but alot of wind, cold winds.
They started coming in yesterday, and have been comming in all day.
Not that I comlain, its not impossible to walk from the backpackers to the store five meters down the street without water now.
Well got to go, I have a meeting to attend to. (hurray)
See ya around.

So I'm here
I arrived yesterday, almost dead from the trip, flying for two days straight is hard on you.
I slept early and felt extremely happy over meeting some friends.
I started drinking with some guys, it was fun and I learned that Australian white wine doesn't taste like wine from sweden or norway.
But hey, wine is wine.
We played some drinking game with a circel of cards.
GREAT FUN!
And today I went out on a bar with some swedish guys. (one gal)
Two of them were swedish foraign exchange students.
And I really enjoyed talking with them, even thou my norwegian accent kinda plopped up sometimes.
Can't help it.
Oh! And I also visited Flinders University today, IT'S FREAKING BIG!
I felt like a small mouse not fitting in.
Owell, I'm done with setting up my courses. (only took about 4 hours)
Now, only paying the school remains.
Ohyes 10 000 AUD.
About 50 000 nok.
But I'm looking foward to it.
It's late here so I'm going to bed.
Cheers all;

Waiting at the airport
First day of my new adventure, who would have thought that little me would go out in the big world?
All the way to Australia, thats about....far away.
I'm not nervous, but I'm not completely calm either.
Thoughts rush through my head, am I really capable of doing this?
Will I succed or fail?
I've got the best wishes from my parents and they support me all the way, but if I fail to do this I wont be able to look them in the eye.
My heart is pounding harder and harder the more I think about it.
I was never any good at school, I just managed by luck, and now I'm goint to a university, which probably have though demands.
It's to late to give it up, but it feels so wierd, travel so far away, most of my friends envy me, some of them are sad.
But hey, it's not like I will be gone forever.
Thats all for now, I'll fill in the trip when I arrive in Australia.
