Eminem

Yesterday was the day I've been waiting for since the 29th of January; the Eminem concert! It was Lorraine, Melanie, Stevie and I who got the train down together. Once there we met up with Emily and Anna. Stephanie was there as well, but the crowd was too big and there was no point in starting to even try to find each other. Eminem was amazing (as expected). He sung a huge variation from every album and really pulled me back to the days when I was hanging out at Sinsen Klubben and was feeling extremely cool. I even almost cried at some of the songs. Ten out of ten from me. On the train home I even bumped into Erin and Joanne. The concert was in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Oh what a night <3





Getting older

On Saturday I went to Lucille's birthday party. It's over 3 years since I left high school here in Scotland and it was very good seeing so many people who I've not seen since then. It is very strange hearing what everybody has been up to, who's dating who and how everybody is doing. The strangest part must be that I was there with out all my exchange student buddies. It made me realize once again how much I actually miss them

Festive festival

My first week of placement is finally over. Two 13.5 hour shifts that really killed my feet, back and will to live. OK fine, so maybe not the will to live. I love placement and I always get excited before I start one, but the 5am alarm really kills the majority of that motivation. I'm having a great time there as the staff is helpful and knowledgeable so they can always answer any questions I might have. I started on Monday and had Tuesday and Wednesday to cool off before being back on it Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday Connor and I went through to the Fringe festival in Edinburgh to see two shows. One of them was À Point's 'Transit' that Magnus (an old friend of mine and my sisters that worked at Tusenfryd with us) was part of. After the show we ended up having a few drinks with him down in the bar afterwards. It was great catching up with him, and hopefully we'll have time to meet again before the festival is over. After that we met up with Jack and James and wandered over to Assembly and watched a show by Rich Hall. It was so much fun and I really recommend to go and see both shows!

Back home

I came back home to Scotland on Wednesday. Well, is it home? it certainly feels like it. But I call Norway home as well. Is it truly possible to have two homes? I hope so. I never want to give up either one of them.
My last days in Oslo were just as amazing as the rest of my stay there. I truly love that city. I managed to squeeze in a trip out clubbing with my sister, some bathing, quite a bit of shopping and plenty of family time. Tomorrow I start placement in the acute stroke ward and I am very excited! I also found out I passed my written exam from 4 weeks ago. I even got a really decent mark. Oh boy I am happy!
