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

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.

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
