I have now tried travelling with a luggage on wheels, a whatyacall it? A rolling bag? I have no idea. I borrowed it from a friend. It's big and hardcase and weighs almost as much as my backpack when full.

Anyhow, the verdict is in: big well-balanced backpacks are still the undisputed king.

Roller bags are just as cumbersome as I imagined, snagging ( Read more... )

Been reading TV Tropes for own amusement inbetween studying. Lovely things, many laughs.

Came to the fanfic recommendation pages by chance. Found that one of my Wheel of Time fanfics is on the recommendation list.

Feel honoured.

In other news, have the last few days been home sick. Which is a big event, since I don't get sick. Truly. I can still ( Read more... )

Exams are coming up again. Looming. Threatening. On the horizon and closing.

So naturally, I figure my bathroom needs a scrubbing.

Ah, logic.

I found him whining on the porch. He's tired - he has already curled up and gone to sleep - but unharmed. Damn dog. Hasn't even asked forgiveness for running off and making me worry. I should ground him and make him do the dishes for a week.

Listened to radio. Have thought recently that I'm not updated enough with world events and tried to increase my radio time. Reports and documentaries and news, those days I find the time, but all it does is iritate me.

See, while news are news, the documentaries are so politically-idealistically coloured that I could bottle them and sell them as ( Read more... )

After anatomy and physiology is done, med school moves on to bacteriology. Yay! When we had bacteriology in Veterinary school in Oslo, I loved it. I learned a lot. So this will be an easy review for me, and that's always pleasant.

Hmph. We had a good term, slightly more, of bacteriology (and virology, parasitology...) in Vet school, but in Med ( Read more... )

I've been living with a guy for the past eight months; one of those quick-blooming relationships that doesn't deserve more time than has already been spent on it. A good enough guy at first glance; we share interests for board games and fantasy litterature, for culture, religion, and cooking. An intellectual with a good heart and decent-looking.

I love A Song of Ice and Fire books, because of their complexity and grittyness and the characters, and this has me bouncing on my seat. HBO might actually make this work!

April can't come soon enough.
