Ok, it's Spain and it is in the south. It has the rumour to be warm. The rumour is true, no doubt about that, the worst thing that can happen is that the temprature drops to 10, it gets cloudy and rains. But everything is relative. When it is 10 C outside in wintertime, it is warm, when it is 10C inside, it is fucking freezing. There's no problem living in a country with -20C when you can go inside to +20C, but when there's no heating system what so ever and everything is made of stone and the ceilings are miles up, the inside temperature is more or less the same as the inside temprature.

Right now, it's +12C outside, which means that it is between that and +15C inside. I live in a really old house, where water has come into the electricity system (no way of knowing for sure, but when the lamp in the hall roof is filled with water we got kind of suspicious), the floor and walls are made of stone (or another cold material), the roof is really high up, the windows are like summerhouse windows, there's a hole in the wall in the kitchen, there's windows everywhere and all we got for warmth is one of those small heating fans (one for each one so if everyone is on at the same time, the fuse goes) It's no picnic in the park.

I highly recoment you to come when the summer is approcing or is already here, ten degress inside is not pleasant.

I have to admit that if I had been 16 and had lots of money, I would probably have one of those look-at-how-much-clothes-I-can-buy kind of blogs. Or maybe like a makeup one (when I was sixteen my parents owned a store filled with makeup and parfuems so the interest came naturally) but I feel that I'm a little to old for that (if I were in the buisness, it would be another thing) and I don't have so much money and a problem of seperate myself from things. I have clothes that are ten years old, that will never fit me again, that I have remade a couple of times and thar are washed out that I just can't throw out. Of course I enjoy shopping but I reallt don't have the money for keeping up a blog around it. And for now, I decided to not go shopping for the rest of my time here (no money and I have been doing a lot of shopping lately)

I like to think that my blog is about something interesting and I really like to think that it is fun to read what I write. I've been writing my whole life so I hope I know how to do that. Despite the fact that I changed my mind of what to do (even though, they are all in the same field, mor or less). I don't think I would make it as an artist. I admire those who are, that can create something that looks like something bit is not really how it looks in reality. But I like cartoons and making stuff life-like, so whatever you can do from making those kind of things is what I want to do.

This is too much about me and too little about Spain, sorry, everything will get better as the week starts again.

Sorry for not giving you too much interesting stuff. actually I'm trying to catch up on my Spanish and it is weekend now, so I'm not gonna be much online (and I guess that goes for you too)

This day has not been a good day at all. First, I woke up and was sick, second, the weather was awful and then I didn't buy the buscard (close for siesta, I forgot and didn't go again, due to the rain) and third, it seems that the day sucked for a lot of other people to (facebook is a resourcefull website). They can't all be happy days.

An interesting picture, I wanted to post for a long time.

I woke up with a swollen troath and decided it would do me no good of going to class, the headace that came with it made me feel that my desicion was right. I decided to stay in bed and try to sleep it of, it didn't work. I know I am the worst person in the world, I can walk and talk and hsould therefore be where I should. Atleast that is how I was raised. I remember my friends in school being mad at me because I was there spreading disease, but what could I do, at that age, it was not my desicion. I had woken up earlier this week, being feeling bad in the throat but it went away as the day progress (and I did go to school, as you know) but this morning it was different. Worse, kinf of.

And I really hoped that I could start running again on Monday... I really hope this is a one day thing.

I'm gonna pay for the trip to Cadiz (for the carneval, more info later), go to the pharmacy (that promote itself as a raveparty, more about that later too), buy a buscard and maybe buy some fruit.

The best time to be in Spain seem to be the summer (quite frankly, summer seems to be the best time to be anywhere) but I'm starting to feel the student loan payment screaming for me to take some responsibility. Hence, I'm trying to go to Oslo to earn the big cash. The job in Oslo has two reasons. First, pay of the student loan and second, help me trying to get another degree.

I already have a degree in media & kommunikation (atleast I think so) and I want another one in graphic design or web design. It has taken me a long time to figure out what I want and sadly, it took me a big loan to get there. And now, its time to pay the dues.

To study at a language school with csn, will probably give a lot of friends and I highly recomend that, or becoming an erasmus student, also with csn. Csn is the reason for my student loan but I am happy to have it. Without it, I would not have gone to the U.S and my Karlstad experience would probably looked a lot different.

I'm living in the center, by the cathedral and I'm paying 240€ for my room. Internet is not included and there's 6 other people in this apartment. There's one kitchen, three bathrooms and one "living" room. I complained a lot in the beginning of how dirty it is here, I still am of that opinion but it has become a little better and once you get used to it, it's not that bad. This is accomodation for student, there's another one on the other side of the river. It is still close from the city center but would cost around 300€ instead. There's other alternatives but I don't know what they cost. There are some cockraches and the buildings are old, so don't expect to much. What is more or less getting me by is that, I'm just living here for a short period of time and in that case, it is okey.

Okay, on the first day of class (Monday) I was there one minute to nine (class starts at nine) on Tuesday I was there eight thirty and the next day five minutes later than that. Today, I was forty minutes late. I had however a change of destination to go from and a really bad night of sleep. But, I have to say, that today's class was the best one. I kind of followed on everything and could more or less answer to everything the teacher asked me. If I do some studying today, I'll be perfect for tomorrow (well, aswell as getting there on time, but that is yet to come)

Being on a bus or any type of transportation makes me think (that's probablt why I'm not really safe in the traffic, cus this goes for walking as well) and I have a new theory. It has to be tested and I'm quite confident that it will fail, but it's gonna be fun to get there. The theory goes that there's three ways of looking at things, a dumb way, a logical way and a smart way. And this goes for everything. A friend of mine and I mad the conclusion that everything is math, therefore, everything is logical too. One can refuse to see (or not have the chance to) see the logical way, and then is looking at it in a dumb way. Being logical about it, is not, however, the smart way. It is just logical, a kind of neutral state and it is when looking beyond the logic that the smartness occur. I thought about several examples where this can be applied but I made the conclusion that it is only one that matters. Math. Can math be seen in a 'smart' way? or is it only logical? I can not determine this, I am not a mathematician, I've only had math in primary school (so, then only have learned the logical way) so I need a mathematician to tell me if there's a beyond the logic in math?

I'm gonna have a nap and then go and buy myself a buscard. Then I'm gonna decide wether to go or not to the carneval in Cadiz and maybe I'll post some pictures from my apartment

Btw, the 'poo' in the kitchen is... I have no idea, it's a piece of squere  black plastic and it has a sticker underneatch it (the text in Spanish) I do suspect it is some kind of insect poison that the other people living here said that they bought (I overheard the conversation but didn't see what they were talking about)

Relized that i haven´t answered your comments lately.

I´m planning to be in Spain until June, by then I hopefully have a job in Norway to return to... It´s all fun with the Spanish but I need to get a job and save up some money, I want to go back to school and get a second degree. And for the questions about the languge school... as soon as I figure out when it ends, I´m gonna give a full explanation of it all. When it starts, how much it costs, how long it is, if there´s any exams, how to get there, and so on. Keep on asking about it!

The dish solution is nothing more than pure awsumness and should be standard in every kitchen. Because there´s nothing worse than when you ahve been good and done all the dishes but the kitchen looks a mess anyway, cus of all the clean dishes instead. With this, the battle is won! And for the poo in the corner, I saw it myself when I uploaded the picture and wondered what it was. I´m gonna check and get back to you.

I was quite down when I left the classroom and I wanted to get downk to the cafè and my cup of coffee as soon as possible. I saw a shortcut close to a corner but a woman were standing a bit from it with her back against me and as I approached she turned around and we bumped into eachother. I didn´t really care, cus I was already in a bad mood but she started to really apologize and as I didn´t think it was her fault at all (mostly bad luck for both of us) I said that I am the one who should appologize, but it probably didn´t sounded so very happy. But she did bring a highlight in my day. I like it when people positively suprise me.

It has been sunny and really warm the last couple of days so, of course, today, when I deceded to not wear my jacket, it is raining. It's not to much but it gives you that sad feeling. I have this strange headace but as soon as I finish this entry, I'm gonna make lunch.

Today was a really confusing day. A gril next to me gave me answer to excersies the teacher was going through that we didn't have to finish until next week. I don't like it when people I don't know tell me what to do when I haven't asked them. I'm a big fan of asking for help, but this doesn't feel like helping, more getting me more confused. And then she laughed at me for not understanding what the teacher asked me. Obviously, with her in my right ear telling me what to fill in and the people at my right ear talking about how they don't know what we are doing and the rest of the class speaking more or less at the same time, it is kind of hard to follow. So far this has been a quite crappy day (some highlights). I stayed behind to catch up but there's some stuff I can not get my grip on so I went home.

I'm gonna take som pics of my apartment to show you, stuff that are different from in Sweden. (And I'm not gonna have an nap today)

I'm sorry folk's, I had a wonderful idea of taking pictuers of my apartment and post them here today. But I had a two hour nap and now changed to pink plush pants and complete student mode (do everything else than study) so there's no more for this day. But tomorrow, I'm gonna plan this better. I promise!

I had told myself that I needed to outside of my apartment at eight. I start at nine and the bus is a quarter away and takes ten minutes and there's some more walking to do. It is actually quite near. THe thing is that I don't know how often the bus goes and didn't wanna miss it and wait fifteen minutes and be late. So at 8:11 I was out the door. I live on the second floor and as I do down the stairs I can feel a particular smell, I have no idea what it smells like but it feels like that is how dead roaches smell. And since I found the first one for this year, yesterday, I'm a bit afraid that they are gonna come out at any time now.

The bus were standing at the busstation when I arrived and was about to leave, so I didn't got the chance to look at how often it goes. WHen I arrived at school, they hadn't even opened the café yet and I was first in my class to arrive. After walking around a bit and having an akward conversation with the people at the front desk (I needed a stapler) other classmates start to arrive. We all sat a while in the classroom until the teacher showed up. So, I have to say, all in all, I do good time.

But I have to say, that in the cold, cold north where waking up after nine is a sin and nothing can be done after 2 in the afternoon, I mean, seriously, the lightbulb was invented in 1879. There's no use of comepting with the rooster anymore.

I'm back at the cafe, doing useful stuff (like blogging and farmvilling) but as soon as I finish the entry, I'm gonna do some job search.

Okay, so today was the first day of class... and of course, I was late. But when I arrived at school I saw my professor standing in the door and when she got in, she walk into the café. So, even thought I was late, my teacher was more late. I strongly believe that it was a part of her act, because when she entered the room, she looked all confused and kept saying stuff like she forgot to prepare the class and maybe forgot the books and that she was nervous. But when I saw her in the entrance, she looked like she had it all under control. But that is a fun and a really nice trick, cus everyone is nervous exept from the teacher (who's probably nervous but not in the same way). The lesson was more or less the teacher going from one student to another and asking them their names, where they are from, where they live now, how long they lived there, if they studied any spanish before and if so, how long and if they have any spanish friends. She didn't ask everyone all the questions, she asked according to the Spanish level of the one she was speaking with. So needless to say, she didn't ask me a lot. I really messed up, cus I felt really stupid saying that I didn't know any Spanish but I've been studied it for two years. I have no idea how to say "I studied it for two years in high school because I had to, so I didn't pay attention or care at all, therefore not learning anything" in Spanish, so I just studdered a few words I know and the whole class felt sorry for me, trying to explain what I tried to say and helping me. It was completely awful.

That was not really the worst thing either. I really hate those things, even in Swedish, I hate those things. Because I never know what to say and I always tend to get people around me to laugh, not cus I'm funny but cus I say stuff you don't need to say or stuff they didn't expect me to say. So imagen what I think about doing this in a language I can not even speak. Of course, with my usual luck (which is kind of like Donald Duck's, not bad enough to destroy your life but enough to get you embaressed and confused) the techer called a break, right before my turn. My hands were sweating, my heart beating and in my head I tried to come up with as many phrases in Spanish as possible so that I could answer her correctly. And now, I had to sit through a break before it was my turn. Crap.

During the break, I saw a friend I got to know a little of the day for the interview and we went to the café. I lost track of time and when she was in the third level (I'm in two) I left her there to go to my class, of course, the class had started and when I wasn't there, they had skipped my turn. So in a way, I got relaxed so she caught me of guard when she asked me the questions, hence the stubbling and the total mess.

And it turned out that my friend changed class, so she was in mine. Really nice of me to just leave her in the cafeteria, really nice.

I guess, being confused and stumbling as I am, relaxes people and everyone feel comfortable talking to me. Cus it doesn't matter how stupid they feel, atleast they are not as confused as me. This doesn't really bug me a lot. I'm always really nervous and such but when I notice people being relaxed in my precense, I kind of like being the confused one. What I don't like is when people start talking down to me cus of it. I'm not stupid just cus I´'m nervous and confused. Most people don't, but there has been a few.

I'm in the cafeteria, doing three things at once, farmville, blogging and applying for jobs in Norway. The cafeteria is loud, crowded and plays music. The music is good, I got a seat and as long as there's noone shouting and screaming, I don't mind. I think I'm getting internet at my place today, but I do believe that I'm gonna keep on bringing my computer. Even though it is a cefeteria, I actually do more stuff being here than being at home.

I really wish i had something interesting to write about, I looked around a bit at the website for the language school but cus it´s in Spanish I didn´t really get much. I wanted to tell you about when the course start and finish, what books you need to have and what they cost, if there´s any exams or written assigments and if there may be some kind of evidence that you´ve taken the course. All I know now is that I start tomorrow at 9 am and then I have class every weekday from 9-11 and that the course has so far cost me 67 €. That is all.

I don´t know if you can see it, but the blue line is the distance I walk/ run on regular basis, exept from now, cus I have a cold and do not run under those circumstanses. I wish i could run, I´m a little bored right now.

I´m at Mr. M´s house and don´t really have anything to do. All my drawing stuff is at my place as are my computer. Right now I´m (besides for updating my blog) playing farmville and talking to my mom, I guess what I will do later is playing Little big planet.

The worst thing is that I'm sick, I wake up with a sore throat and it's not fun at all. I just started excersising again and now, I can't.

I bought myself a Mimobot

It's lunch time. Actually, time to make the lunch. Something I remember from growing up was my family's wierd eating hours. My friends always called and wanted to hang out, right about the time for us to have dinner. I remember that I used to complained about it, asking why we can't have dinner on normal hours like everyone else. The reason why we had dinner at seven was because my parents had a store that closed at six, so none of them were at home at four to make dinner anyway. It was impossible to have dinner at five, like all my friends had. But the reason I got was that it is actually normal to have dinner at seven, that's what they have in the rest of Europe. I thought that was wierd.

I was working with a company called Spancom, which is a Norwegian website for scandinavian people in Spain. My job was to spread information about them and to get more members. Due ot the lack of members and the economic crisis, the people in charge decided to put the website "too sleep" for a while. I made an evulation that didn't really put the website in a good light. It's all for the best, in the end, I don't want them to spend a lot of money on something that I belive need to be re organized. So i'm not really sad because I didn't really know what to do more and somehow I felt that I disapointed them. But I did as best as I could for the time being.

I don't really know if I am accepted yet to take the course. But I think so. I will be certain tomorrow. If I am, I'm starting on Monday. The school I will be studying at is Escuela oficial de idiomas and it will cost me around 60-70€. First I thought about studying at a private school named Lexis but it would cost me up to 300€ for a three month course. Other schools to look at is Malaca instituto and Cervantes. The school I'm at is a state one and it do not offer accomodation (as far as I know) but the three others are private and they offer accomodation and a lot of other stuff. Of course there are companies that can help you, like EF, ESL and Blueberry and there's always the possibility of being an exchange student (a language course at the university is included when you are an erasmus student).

I'm at Mr. M's house and I'm trying to figure out what I have to do, I always have a long list of stuff I have to do and the more they are, the more I forget about what they are. I am gonna try and take more pictures and upload them. I did so in the beginning and I'm gonna continue. Like the school I'm at, my apartment and all those wierd things they have here (from my perspective). For now, I'm gonna try and get a hold of my mom and check out some mimbot flashdrives.

Btw, The qoutes are from tv, films, friends, myself that I or others find funny, amusing or inspirational. Mostly it has been amusing ones. The idea is that you will recongnize it or get curious and google the context or ask about it if you're curios enough to want ot know, but lazy enough to not find it out yourself (it's allowed, I like being asked)

This is what I got for my birthday from Mr M. It´s a cute plastic rabbit that connects to your WiFi and as I understand it can do numerous things. I haven´t seen it yet cus first it took forever to get it connected and then, it is registrered to someone else. I´ve contacted the support but as far as I know, they haven´t answered anyone since 2006..... I hope I can get it unregistrered and register it on me cus I really wanna see what it can do. i guess it would bring me more joy if my friends had one too (cus you can send messages and music tracks too it) and if I had Wifi at my place (cus without it, its just a white plastic rabbit) It´s called Nabaztag but as you register it you give it a name of you own. I´m planning to name it Mr Conejo (which is rabbit in Spanish)

So in lack of other choises, I´m answering in a blog entry.. instead of disregarding it (which is mean) make another comment on the same blog entry (which the person might never look up) or writing to the persons facebook or email (which is just too much work for me)

I like the word sillyface... :) and I know I am one. But begin nervous about everything is just something I´ve always been and to get it out there makes it go away (a little bit, atleast) but I know, I should enjoy my age.... it will come or maybe I´m already doing it without me knowing it ;)

On Tuesday is my exam to determine which level of Spanish I have, so that the people who´s gonna teach me Spanish know where to begin. It´s not really an exam I want to study for but I´m still nervous...

I´m traveling to Dublin with Mr. M and I can´t probablt not afford it... but who cares... I couldn´t really afford going to Spain in the first place, or U.S, or actually for studying in Karlstad for that matter either. But they all turned out fine, so I just have to be sensible with my money until then :)

Oh, and ya`ll know what is you answers...
