Some news

Well, hello again and a happy new year to you all. It's the 5th January today, and outside my window I can see people trying to stay on their feet on the very icy pavement, now also covered with water. Oh, what a funny combination. I shouldn't be talking, since I had a rather rough meeting with it yesterday...in my kilt.
I was walking home, and suddenly my feet went in two different directions, and I got to see the world from a horizontal point of view. Thankfully there was very few who could this humiliating event, and I thank the God up high (if he exists, he have a rather nasty kind of humor) for NOT following the ONE rule concerning kilt-wear this morning...

This morning I woke up to some rather interesting news: "Celtic FC wants to get Erik Huseklepp" I didn't think about it for a while, since the rumors of his transfer have been buzzing for years. But slowly I understood that one of sons of Bergen (he plays for Brann, the one team that unites the city) probably is going to get sold to Celtic, my favourite Scottish team. My thoughts were clashing into eachother; I really wanted him to stay in Bergen, but he's such a talent, and when thinking about it: Celtic is a good choice. I'm just happy that some lousy, far-away team wouldn't snatch him away.
So overall, I'm a little sad, but also really happy for him.


And now for the big, wonderful, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious news:
I'M GOING BACK TO IRELAND!


Yes, I've managed, with some help from my little sister, to convince my parents that they should see Dublin at least. So off we go the 16th june, and after the 20th it is just me, my little sister and the open road for 2 whole weeks. I'm literally buzzing with expectation, and is so looking forward to making the plans.
The things is that when we're in Dublin, I will be in charge, and the guide ^^
But one place I hope to visit this time, is Cork/Cobh to remember those who emigrated away from hunger and destitution. To honour those who made up my bachelorthesis last year.

And one last thing: I will this semester be studying English literature and culture :)
