I'm aliiiiive!

Bet you didn't think so, did you? Well, if the posts on this blog were my heartbeats I'd be long gone. Thankfully, they're not!

Anyway, thought I'd bring an update to all you 2 people who regularily visit me here. I am pretty certain that I've now cracked the code on my weight problem. During the last few weeks I've been trying to eat less sweets and I've now cut it out completely. I'm now back to the level I had when I was a kid, no sweets unless it's saturday. It's embarassing to say so, but I've finally realised that no amount of exercise is going to make me able to eat as much as I want of anything I want when ever I want, and it's about damn time. I've already started seeing changes in my physique and cutting out sweets hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. After all, there are so many healthy things that look so much more inviting and taste just as good, as a large chunk of chocolate. Now that it's summer, we get Norwegian fruits and berries of all kinds and what is more summer than a bowl of fruit? We're also experiencing a rare thing here on the west coast, we've had really nice, hot weather for the longest concecutive time since, well, ever! That, of course, makes chocolate move a bit down on the list of priorities.

I've also been to see the doctor about what to do to get my drivers license back. Apparently, I can't apply to have it back until it's been a year since my last attack, which is on the 16th of November. I'll have to hand in the application when I get back for Christmas holiday and then there's probably about a 6 weeks wait until I have it back. In other words, I won't be able to drive until I return for easter holiday, but you better believe that I'll be practically living in that car come easter!

Right now I'm sitting at work, waiting for the day to begin. I've had some issues lately, I've felt like a burden and a pain to the people I've called and it's made me unmotivated to doing my job. July is also a bad month in this line of work, a lot of CEO's in the country is out on holiday and the rest are hard to reach, so the turnout has been quite bad. However, a lot of companies set their new budget in August and that's also when most CEO's are back, so that will hopefully be a great month! We're also dealing with some demotivation in the hot weather and due to few people at work, so when August comes with some bad weather and the rest of the staff here at work returning, things should start to look up!

I better start doing some work now, hopefully I'll make some money today! Yesterday I came to work at 1ish, having been to the doctors and some other stuff first, and when I opened my email, there were 5000 NOK waiting for me! In other words, the perfect start to the week!

I got a job!

Yeah, I know I haven't posted anything in ages, sorry about that..

Anyway! I got myself a job! It's basically telemarketing. I'm employedby a company who's emploey by the Norwegian Naval Rescue Company. They are run completely on donations from the business community and I'll be calling different companies all over the country to ask them to make donations. We also put out press releases about the donation when the transaction is complete and everything, but I don't know if I'll be set to writing it. I kind of hope I won't, because after a year of speaking and writing English, my Norwegian sucks..

I start training tomorrow and, to be honest, I am quite nervous. I've been having some issues remembering norwegian words, my brain seems to be set in English mode still, which could cause some awkward situations the first few weeks, but I hope that'll work itself out at some point.

Today has been spent clearing out the basement. My cousins daughter will be moving in with us in august, so we've been clearing out the room that will be hers when she moves in. I've also started clearing out my room, because the water damage we had last summer seems to be in my room as well, so I actually stepped right through the hard wood floors in my room when I came home for summer.. Welcome home, Hannah! Yeah, that was great... I've been exiled to the basement livingroom and will be staying here until my rooms been fixen, which could take a while since it's an insurance case, but hopefully I'll get to move back in a while.

Right now I'm sitting in my bed, alternately playing piano and Hay Day, which I know is slightly pathetic for a soon-to-be-20 year old, but I don't care. I'm also reading up on facts about Norway, such as the lenght of our coastal line and so on, I figure stuff like that will make me sound like I know what I'm talking about to the people I'm going to be trying to convince to donate to the rescue company.

Hopefully I'll be able to sleep soon, just 6 hours until I have to get up!
