And i wonder, still i wonder, whooooo'll stop the rain??

Its raining men? Unfortunately not, its actually been raining every freakin day for the last week, and its not necessarily raining so much, but its a little rain all the time, and its windy and cold. Think there's been a huge misunderstanding here. Thought we were in June, but really we have skipped over summer this year. Our dear Gods above has decided that, no no, we dont need summer up north this year, so we'll just skip to October.

However, in Memphis, its good and warm, and its 35-40 degrees celsius. I LOVE MEMPHIS ;¤

Its only 7 days left and im super duper excited!! ;-)) Im so ready to spend time with my hostfamily, my american friends, the dogs, at the lake, by our pool and yes everything over there is great, and not to mention going to the DAC. Ive allready bought lots of norwegian chocolate, and im bringing some norwegian beer, and im gonna buy b-day presents for my family but i have absolutely NO clue what to buy? I was going to make a movie, but i think i'll wait till later this summer. Im bringing my video camera over there so that i can make a movie for my hostparents ;-))

This week im planning to be quite busy, im meeting up with many of my friends, going downtown shopping, celebrating a colleagues b-day, tanning and chillin out at my friends house ;-) Im also gonna go to the gym and make good food. Love Life ;¤

TTYS!! XOXOXO, ISabelle ;¤

Summer niiiiights...

Why is it that it takes sooo long between each post i write? Ok, i am busy, but im very good at burning my time on doing nothing. Well, actually, i usually do something all the time..But ive finally taken my time to write a little bit. However, if i write a little bit every day i dont have to write three pages once a month.

Since the last time i wrote ive been working, exercising, celebrating national day and I went on a long-weekend trip to Riga (Latvia) with my colleagues from the Day- Care. It was awesome!!! The city was absolutely beautiful, and it was so "Clean" from other cities ive seen. Old, but beautiful buildings, weather was nice (except from one night when it suddenly said SWUUUUUSH and we got soaking wet. Crazy, but we got to take a bicycle-taxi which was super-fun because we dont have those in Norway. Poor guy who was cycling, it was probably one or two gears on his bicycles, and he was not really a muscle-man so he was worn out when he finally arrived at our hotel. Veronica and I laughed the whole way!

We went shopping pretty much every day, and we also got to go to a spa where we got two treatments each. I got an hour foot-massage, and one hour with facial cleansing, and massage. LOVELY! :-))

We have had lots of sunny days at work, and we have spent lots of time with the kids outside playing, and we've been going on fun trips and been barbequing and stuff. Love my kids, they're the best!! :-D Going to work is so much fun and i love my colleagues and all the kids. However, i am really looking forward to 6 weeks of summer-vacation. I havent had the whole summer off since i was about 14 years old. Im going for three weeks to see my Family in Memphis, and i cant wait!

I love the Moses family, they are so good to me, and theyve taken me into their home and family, and i feel like im their daughter but im studying in a different country and that im coming home once a year. However, this year im gonna try to go over there for Christmas. Once a year is too little. Its crazy how fast time goes. Its allready been two years since i got home from my exchange year. I felt like that was my place in life. That is where i belong. And not being able to be there every day, to see my hostfamily and hang out with my american friends is aweful. I dont belong in Norway anymore, as aweful as it sounds, it is the truth. I love Norway, and my friends and family here. But its something about USA, something that i cannot explain. The people is so sweet, so warm and loving, and all their traditions and habits, their school system, everything, their respect for others and yes, it is a beautiful country, and it is the country of hopes and dreams. I Love America <333

It will also be good to have 3 weeks at home too, even though im probably gonna be ready to work. Im actually getting pretty tired of working, not that its wearing me out or anything, its just that, i am looking for greatness in life, and i respect what im working with, but im always looking for new challenges. Im going to be a nutritionist and a personal trainer. That is my goal in life. That is what i really want to do. And i cant wait to study to become what i was born to become. Going to school again will be absolutely awesome!!

I only have two weeks left to work, and this week will hopefully go as fast as last week. Im driving 45 km every day to get to work, and its fun in the summer, but hopefully ill find an apartment to rent from this fall to next summer.. Im also trying to sell my car since it has been nothing but trouble since february. First i haid to pay about $ 800 to get it EU-approved, as a norwegian citizen with a car u have to get your car "approved" every other year. So if there is any major things on it that needs to be fixed u have to get it done. The i had to pay a annual fee which was about 500 dollars, and ive just paid 800 dollars to get a new petrol pump, and tomorrow im paying about 450 dollars to get new tires on my car. DJIZES its expensive to have a car in Norway! But im selling it and if i get an appartment i dont need a car, im gonna use my bicycle, even in the winter (i think :P )

Well, now its dinner time, and then im gonna exercise before i go spend the night at a friends house in the city since i start work at 06:45 am tomorrow morning :-)

Have a great day everyone!!

Summer has come

I Love My Life <3

Last time i wrote, was in January, which is a while ago. It seems like yesterday actually. These months has gone by so fast. Swush and then it was May. I love May.

Norway's national day is the 17th of May. The whole spirit this day is just wonderful. Weather is beautiful, everyone is dressed up, NO MATTER HOW DRUNK WE WERE ON THE 16th! Everyone has a flag, and we shout hurrayy. Its a day when people come together, laugh, kids play and eat ice-cream, loooots of ice-cream. Mmmm, yum! This year will be the first of many, where im actually looking so much forward to this day, just because i can wear my national costume. My dress. I love it. This year im not a senior and im staying at home with my parents on Kjerringoy. Away from the city, in just a small-town community. It will definately be a beautiful day. Plans are allready made, and im having a ice-cream competition with my friend, Lassie. Will definately be awesome. Or we're just gonna have popstickles, i cant drink/eat things with lots of milk in, but popstickles is fine by me. Yes, it goes against my whole i-love-being-healthy-thing, but this is just for one day, and ill probably go exercise when all the fun is over, so why not.

During these 3-4 months ive done exactly what i wrote in my last blogg. Ive left behind some things, and taken more care of some. During these months ive had lots of problems with my digestive system. Which felt like hell. People actually thought i was pregnant, and i know why because it actually looked like i was 7-8 months pregnant. DJIIISES! This made me exercise even more than i allready did. It wasnt fat, but my stomach was really inflated ;/// I started leaving out some types of foods, and i also broke up with my boyfriend. I am way to young to be in a long-term relationship. I did mistakes, he did mistakes. So for now i say, i love you, but i have to say goodbye. For me and for you. Im only 19 years old, and even though ive learned alot more about life and experiences than lots of teenagers my age has, i still have alot to learn about love. Its alot to learn, but some things i do know. Love is supposed to tingle in ones stomach, its supposed to be wonderful, loving, caring, hurtful and amazing. All at the same time. That is what i know.

Someday i will find my true love <3>

However, im not in a rush, i love my life just the way it is, right here and right now. Ive also moved home with my mom and dad. And being "young" again, is just wonderful. I havent lived with my parents since i was 16 years old. So ive grown up to be an adult very fast. I dont mind at all, but its good to be wooed for a change :-)

Now i do the things that makes me happy, i exercise, hang out with my friends, and i laugh aloooot. Work is an amazing place to be, and i love each and every one there. Its the best job ever! <3 Some days can be hard, but that is just a part of life. ( and its what weekends are for- restitution, baby)

There's only one thing missing in my life, my second parents, they live in Memphis, TN. I Love them and i miss them. Looking forward to seeing them this summer <3

Peace <3

If I could Escape - oh believe me i would!

2010: I wonder how this year will turn out?

Have you ever felt like everything and everyone is against u? And you sit down on the sofa, thinking about what life has really become. Just staring out the window and wondering will it all ever get better. Alot of times people think "Wow, my life sucks! I wish i could just move away and have a fresh start".
I think every single person has had that thought at least one or two times. Sometimes things feel so hopeless that you're not exactly sure what to do. It feels like you're stuck somewhere in a big whole and no one is there to rescue you but yourself. Ive had that feeling now, for the second time. However, im not gonna be the one to sit around and wait for someone to rescue me, stubborn as i am, i will do it myself!!

This is me, im rescuing myself from that big whole and im starting something extraordinary, special and fantastic: A NEW LIFE!
Just saying that sounds really good, of course i will take my friends and all my experiences into a new era of my life, but somethings are better left behind..

So this is what i will do, here and now, make some rules to always keep in mind:

- I am great, no matter what people say, no matter what i do, i am great! ( Yes, Christina Aguilera, you are right, i really am beautiful!)

- Always put myself first, yes, sounds selfish but it is true!

- Always put my family and friends second, because their the ones who has made me, and they have helped through good and bad, they've watched me happy, drunk, goofy,sad, angry and crazy (My mama and my papa started it by making me, thank you very much for giving me life). I Love you all!

- I will do what i love to do, throughout my whole life.

- I make my own decisions, if a choice i do turns out to be bad, well, then i learn. Because i learn from all of my mistakes, and that makes me a better person then not wanting so admit what you have done wrong.

- EVERY SINGLE DAY- when i wake up in my bed i will think that this is going to be an awesome day and i will do everything in my power to make it that way!

- Exercising is my Bible, its holy to me, thats just the way it is! I Love it and its just an amazing feeling that i get everytime i exercise, or i go to the gym, or just read magazines about fitness and health, i worship exercising!

- I will never stop being goofy, silly or play as if i was a kid, its healthy - and i love it - and i will never let it go!

- I will always do my very best to help others who needs my help! Im not saying im donating all my money every month, but just helping others do something and appreciate what God has given us!

- Im gonna do my very very best to not spend too much money, i love spending it, but i hate it when im broke, so im starting a new better budget (and i think my savings account will be very happy- doing this for u baby!)

- I will always do my best in everything i do- when it comes to work-exams-friends-exercising- pretty much everything, i will always make sure im doing my best!

SO there are probably alot more that i could put in here, but i think these ones were the most important ones. When u read this u probably think "that girl is a little u know kookoo" but im really not, im just sorting out some things in life and i want my near and dear to know.

And the last thing im gonna say is " uuuuh uh uh uh uhuh uhuhuhu, DONT WORRY, BE HAPPY!"

Wonderful World ;¤

Oh boy..
i am officially done in high school!! (well almost). So last week in general was not a good week, except for work though. But other than that it pretty much sucked! i did not exercise because first of all, on tuesday, i fell on my bike: pain!!!! I landed on my tummy and it felt like i had to throw up, bruises everywhere :o and then it turned out my thighs were blue, my ribbs were blue, my elbows sore, and my tummy hurting.
Then on wednesday of course, it seemed my life was over, i also had to deal with the pain, the biggest pain! I was so soooo not happy, had to take an oral math exam on friday, so yeah had pretty much an entire book to learn, so how did it go, straight to hell!! I failed, failed? its really NOT me to fail, but i did, because of that stupid class, and that stupid examinator, AND then i found out that, oh im failing in chem 2. Which is sooo sad!! But as my mom said, its not the end of the world, because i can still take up some classes, which i will, but those two were the hardest classes to take, and i were stupid enough to think that i could actually pass in those classes. Well, we all learn from our mistakes, and i know that i can do so much better ;-)

Other than that ive been working all week, my mom took me out to eat baked potatoe, which is so insainly good!! omg. anyhow, and i also got me some pink crox, and then work called and i had to go. It was nice though ;)
Saturday i worked for 13 long hours, because we had to count every single thing in the whole store and at our storage room and warehouse. Me, and two of my colleagues got up early on sunday to count our warehouse, and even though it took a few hours, it was ok :)

So today i slept for a while, and i ate fish, and had a great time at work and now im just chillin and excited about going to my boyfriends soccer game. Hopefully he'll score some pretty goals for me ;¤

ttl <333
Love ya <3

It was the summer of Love <3

Finally in June, and finally finished all my written exams, i only have one oral exam left which i dont know if i will ever find out when and what exam im having.. That kinda stinks, and i was really hoping that i could get it today, but ill probably not be called up until like the last day of school.

Anyhow, on may 31st me and my boyfriend moved into our new appartment (finally)! Its so close to school, work, the "city" and malls, AND lets not forget Friskhuset and Spenst (our local gym's)- in other words, its close to pretty much everything!! ;-) I also got myself a new bike from my boyfriend, and it is sooo pretty, dont even know if i dare to put it outside at all, so right now im keeping it locked up and safe in our storage room. I swear if anyone lays a hand on that bike, im gonna hunt them down!! (a)
Moving was hard, and i realized that for a 18 year old i got so much stuff that people might think im really 70 years old. No joke! I think almost everyone that helped us move was cussin in the hallways and up the stairs, and all i heard was "damn Isabelle, we're neeeever gonna help u move ever again" :(( oh well!! ill convince them anyways ;-)
It took me about 10-20 hours to get everything settled, but i was really going for it! Now all i can say is thanks to everyone who helped us move, and thanks to Mats for the great appartment!

The same weekend i had a handball tournament, and work, so 10 games, work and moving, oh yeah and exams was perhaps one of the most stressful weekends of my life! Our games was good, got alot of good players, but im going to run practice this fall harder than ever because there's still alooot to practice. I might start playing handball again this fall if i can find myself a team to play for that ain't too serious! I got Love for the game.

Money is cutting short and like my mom always says, it does not grow on trees, unfortunately! ;/ However, i feel really good every time im at work, because im i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that means yeeah? Ive decided not to sell my car, its just way to precious for me ;$ So instead im just letting it stay on the parking lot outside our block, and im going to walk or ride my bicycle pretty much everywhere.

Dont know if anyone has ever gotten pissed off at their purse however, well i was today. Was riding my bicycle home from school, and then i was crossing the road and my purse got stuck in the wheel and then the bicycle suddenly stopped and i flew over it and landed on my stomache and my elbows, and my left thigh, and man it hurted. I was more afraid of my bike though, but felt like i had to throw up afterwards, perhaps because it was SO embarrasing!!

Last news! My mom and grandma has bought me a ticket to go to Memphis to see my hostfamily and im telling you, i couldn't be more excited!! Will miss my boyfriend but its only for two weeks and im gonna have the time of my life!! <333

Love from Izzy <3

Hello Summertime..

Allright, im just sooo ready for summervacation, work, go to Turkey with my Boyfriend/Boytoy/Best boyfriend in the whole world, exercise, and get a cute little tan..Trust me, I need it!!
School this week has been really unneccesary.. It usually is, but this week, extremely unneccesary. I dont really see the point in having 2-4 classes each day. Instead, i feel it would be better to put all those classes in one day, and then take a day off. I wouldnt mind, but the school board would probably mind! I only have five exams left, so juhu, high school is soon over! ;)

At the time, im having a countdown, because its only a week and three days till me and my boyfriend can officially move. And im sooo excited. Not excited to move all those boxes and all the furnitures, but im just so sick of living at our current appartment. Its turning into a jungle of small bugs, and i dont like it!! How would you feel if you were sitting on the toilet doing your thing, and looking down at your feet to se a teeny tiny little centipede (tusenbein) crawling in front of you? I didnt like what i was seeing. However, i was still so proud of myself because i had been cleaning the entire appartment, and even put down winter clothes, and I also vacuumed a small little creep (so proud of myself for doing that).

The 2nd of June my great friend and colleague, Mats, its leaving us to go to Tromsø (buuu, it sucks), gonna miss him alot, but on the other hand i wouldnt have an awesome appartment waiting for me and my boyfriend, so bye bye Mats ;) ill come and visit him, or no, he'll come and visit us :D much better!!

Anyhow, yesterday me and my boyfriend tried to win 92 million kroners on Lotto, but unfortunately we didnt. I really think that im going to win, everytime, but im not disappointed because money cant buy the great family that i have, the great friends that i have, and it definately cant by the best boyfriend in the whole wide world <3>
Ive finally figured out that im selling my car, my cute little Saab 9000. I like it, but i dont really see the pont in paying 1500 kr every month for a car that i wont use. Instead im getting an awesome, and so pretty, yes really pretty bicycle, which i talked about earlier <3>
And now, the last final thing, i bought yesterday, its so cute, and its just ahhh, i love it!! They had ONE left, and I was the lucky one to get it (or buy it). Its a bench, but its not A bench, its THE bench. The cutest thing ever! Its dark, and has a white pillow on it, and three draws in it, with a white boy on each draw. LOve LOve LOve!! <333
