Two days more and I'm out of here!!!!

So now there's only two more days until I move to Ireland, my bags are packed and I'm almost ready to leave, I just have to fill out a form about moving out of the country and then I'll leave norway:P I asked my mum if we could have one of my favourite dishes for dinner one of these days. Homemade pizza or minced meat balls in paprika sauce with homemade mashed potatoes. Yummy^^ I just can't choose!

So now the moving thing has really struck me, I'm moving to Ireland, I'm going to study journalism at Griffith College Dublin. I'm going to move in to my own little house. So many things are happening. Can someone please slap me so that I can find out if I'm dreaming?

So we're moving to Portarlington. I know Marks family and some of his bestfriends, and that's it XD But hey, this is an experience for me. I get to meet new people, create a network that stretches further then just the borders of boring little Haugesund. And I get to grow up, if you can call it growing up when you're still waiting for Peter Pan to come get you and bring you to hid world. But I guess it's time to stop hoping that and start hoping that "grown up-life" won't take away the fun of an imagination and the crazy times you have with friends and family that gives you all those great memories to think of.

I'm starting to feel sad. I don't like leaving my mother behind, We've always been more like friends than mother and daughter. So she's going to be the one I'll miss the most. After her and the rest of my family, my firends come. Lena, Sandra and Kjetil are on the top of the list there. But extreme changes like this doesn't let you bring every part of your life with you, exept for within your heart^^ Time to pack the last bag, talk to you later^^

so much to do Oo

I know I said I would tell you all about my trip to Bulgaria:P But well, the only thing we really did do was drink, drink, drink XD It was a lot of fun, almost like a dream. Being there with Mark made it all alot better. But now i've been stressed all the time Oo And the good dream days are over,I'm leaving my safe little haven in Haugesund to go out and explore the new world. I've had the goodbye party with all my friends. I'm almost finished packing the things that will be sent over after I arrive in Ireland. And I said goodbye to my aunt. I just miss packing the things I'm bringing over now, but have to wait till sunday for when Mark comes over. He's coming over to help me bring everything back to Ireland^^
We got ourself a house^^ One of those cute little cottages that you always see in movies. I've always wanted to live in one of those and now my dream comes through^^ School is soon starting:P Yay^^ And Mark is taking the offshore course so that it's easier for him to get a job. We're really growing up here now. I'm looking forward to moving, but at the same time I'm not that happy about leaving my mother. We've always had a really tight connection and now we're going to be in two different countries Oo But she's coming over to visit me and I'll be home for christmas. I said I'd put out a picture from Bulgaria, And I'm going to do that to... There's so much to tell, but I guess I'll just have to write another blog tomorrow and write the rest then. My life is going through a lot of changes, hopefully everything's going to work out fast enough for me to enjoy growing up to XD

Around this time on wednesday I'll be waiting at the airport for the plane to take me down to Sunny Beach:P Nothing special has happened for the last week, I've been working at my uncles pizzaria in Sandnes^^ But I don't really know what more to say now and I have to finish packing. When I get back I'll make sure to write about my trip to Bulgaria^^ Maybe, if you're good, I'll put out some pictures to^^

GCD here I come!

I got accepted to GCD! Leila’s going to Ireland! I’m starting school the 8’Th of September, to study 3 years at Griffith College. After that I’ll have a BA in journalism^^ I’m so happy and exited, there’s so much to be done! I have to get a student loan so I can pay the tuition fee of 9300 euros, and I have to pack.. I can’t bring all my books so I have to get some boxes to store them in. I’ve already cleaned out my closet and thrown away all the clothes that are somewhat ruined and put away some clothes that I can give to the second hand shop in town, Fretex. But there’s still so much to do, and I don’t even have any money saved up for when I’m going over. I’m going to get a part time job over there somewhere so that I can survive… It’s going to be the first time, but after some time things might go smoother.

Mark has been looking around for a house or apartment for us to live in. As I have told you earlier we’re planning to move in with one of Marks friends and his girlfriend, it’s cheaper that way. He just looked at a little cottage with two double bedrooms and a huge garden and everything! It’s in Portarlington where Mark is from, right next to the train station. It takes me approximately an hour to get to Dublin and school with the train from there, but then again it’s a lot cheaper then getting an apartment in Dublin. And another good thing is that the place is near his parents, which is good if we need help of some kind^^ I’ll write more later, right now I can’t even see straight, I’m so happy! I’ll update later tonight!

Update: I just finished applying for a study loan ansd some scolarships. Atleast I've done a little. Hehe^^ Well bed time now^^ Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite:P

Toefl test! I'm an englisk jinius! XD

I just got my toefl test grades online and I rule! I got a 111 points out of 120! That means that I got way much more than needed to get into Griffith so I am great XD I got right under 30 on each part, reading, writing, listening and speaking^^ So I am a genious. Oh I means jinius XD

The Toefl (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) test is an international english test needed if you're going to study outside of your own country... I took the IBT test (internet-based-test) and feel good about what I got^^ Had to go to Bergen though and pay 800 kr (100 euro) for the test, but it was worth it:D Yay for grades! Now I just have to wait to get the paper version so that I can send this to Griffith too..^^

The kitty update for today is that we got the posters out around the neighbourhood today. So now pictures of the little beauty is everyewhere^^ She's still over at my mothers friend and think she likes it there.. She's getting gourmet food^^ She's luckier than me, but then again she's a little princess^^

Lost little kitty

So something happened today after all... While me and my mum were watching TV this little kitten was dropped into our lap by my stephfather. Apparently the cat had ran past him inside when he opened the door to go out and smoke. She's not old at all... Probably just 8-10 weeks old. She is just so adorable and when me and my mother saw this little creature our heart just melted, we fed it and gave it water but we knew we couldn't keep it because of our own cat. So we went out to look for its owner. After walking a little we ended up at a friend of my mothers to ask him if he knew where the kitten belonged. Sadly he didn't, but luckily he agreed to give the little girl a place to stay until we found out where she belongs. The sad part of this story is that the kitten might not have a home. In these vacation times many people just let their cats out thinking they can fend for themselfes our hoping they will find a new home. We found out that the cat has been out for a few days and has been on many peoples doors over the last two days, atleast, and there's no posters anywhere.

Tomorrow we're going to hang up some posters hoping we can find the owners of this adorable little cat. But if we can't then I think my mothers friend will keep the little angel. Here's the picture we're going to use for the posters.. Isn't she just the cutest thing ever? And she's so happy and loves to play. And she's allready housetrained so we know that she used to have a home anyways. I just love that little spot on her nose^^ I wish I could keep her! But I'm moving to Dublin so I guess I just have to find a cat there:P And people... If you get a cat, please try to keep him inside for a while! He has to get used to your house before he can find his way home! And get your cats marked, there's tons of ways to do this and this makes it easier to find the owner of the cat. If you want to own an animal, like this little cutie under here, make sure your up for the task of taking care of it!
