Ble ikke så mye blogging likevel, fant jeg ut.. Men slår no tell. Siden sist har jeg fullført, levert, presentert og forsvart masteroppgaven, søkt x antall stillinger uten det store hellet, fortsatt i Ark, og snart fullført et deltidsstudie i konfliktbegrensning og håndtering. Veldig interessant faktisk. Avventer et tlf intervju fra ambassadeseksjonen i Bujumbura, veldig spent på det, men litt skeptisk siden mine franskkunnskaper er tilnærmet lik null. Men jeg har bestilt meg fransk på 15 min og har store planer om å lære nå:)
Ellers er jeg veldig inn i bokverden om dagen, og Shantaram har brent seg fast i midt minne. Den boken er helt fantastisk! Derfor skal jeg ære Gregory David Roberts med noen utdrag fra boken som jeg finner uimotståelige.
"There is a truth that is deeper than experience. It is beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It is an order of truth that separates the proofound from the merely clever , and the reality from the perception. We are helpless, usually, in the face of it; and the cost of knowing it, like the cost of knowing love, is sometimes greater than any heart would pay. It does not always help to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world. And the only way to know the truth, is to share it, from heart to heart".
Dåååån.
"If fate does not make you laugh then you just do not get the joke".
I tillegg har jeg tatt en titt i en flott inspirasjonskalender skrevet av en drammenser (har som kjent blitt skikkelig boknerd), og jeg velger å gjengi noen av goòrdene her:
"Å leve et konsekvent liv, ville noe i verden, ville det med alvor-det koster". Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
"Pessimistene er dog de reneste tåper-de tror på det motsatte av det de håper. Nei, de optimister som livet beror på, er dem som tør håpe på noe de tror på". Piet Hein.
Og.. har forresten påstartet den etterlengtede boka, men det var litt hardere enn jeg trodde... Så det får nesten vente litt til. Men den er i tankene, og er på vei:)
"Å leve er ikke nok. Solskinn, frihet og en liten blomst må man ha". H.C. Andersen

Nå skal jeg også blogge!
Ja, har blitt en god del tankevirksomhet i det siste. Uheldigvis er den relatert til veldig mye annet enn master. Rart det der, men hjernen fungerer på mystiske vis, som Ellen sier. Spesielt når den prøver å flykte fra noe. I stad tok jeg meg i å lese en usakelig debatt av en som var FOR FrP på en fb side som er MOT Frp. Mannen var selvsagt åndssvak og mente at dersom Stoltenberg-regjeringen får fortsette, har folket en lovfestet rett til å kaste han i fengsel. Mannen er nemlig skydlig i diverse mord, voldekter og svindel begått av 'våre nye landsmenn' som han har sluppet inn i landet. Fornuftig argumentasjon vil jeg påstå. Uansett, der og da fant jeg ut at nok må være nok og logget meg av. Men da fikk jeg en morsom link til en side med en masse bilder på msn. Der fant jeg bildet øvserst i innlegget, som jeg synes passer veldig bra i dag, dog kun til motivasjon for å kose meg gjennom natten med retting herfra og til helvete.
Ellers har jeg som sagt tenkt endel på framtiden og ting og tang, alt fra shopping til mer eksistensielle spørsmål som; hva i svarte gjør jeg nå (altså når jeg er ferdig med en master i internasjonale miljøstudier), hvor vil jeg bo, hva vil jeg gjøre osv osv.. Her kommer uansett en gladnyhet: Mia Vanessa Henriksen har bestemt seg for å skrive bok. Ja, det stemmer. Jeg skal skrive bok. Jeg lurer på om jeg skal starte på den allerede i sommer. Da blir det eventuelt en roman. Jeg har veldig lyst til å skrive en bok som hører til i samfunnshylla på Ark også.. Men jeg føler at jeg må ha litt mer å skrive om først. Kanskje jeg for nå skal skrive en litt fin blanding. En roman med undertone a`la Gert Nygårdshaug må det bli. Ja, det har jeg nå full tro på.Bortsett fra det ønsker jeg meg en traineestilling, ekke så kravtstor, trenger ikke mye lønn, men jeg vil ha erfaring!! Så skal jeg møte Jonas, og når han spør meg hva jeg vil bli, skal jeg svare 'Jeg vil bli som deg!'. Og så skal han ta meg under sine vinger og la meg bli norsk diplomat til.. tja la oss si Russland, eller kanskje Uganda. Litt usikker på detaljene enda. Vil jo lære meg russisk uansett. Akkurat sånn som han gjorde med ho jenta fra Dagbladet idag. 21 år og diplomat til Afganistan. Jenta er derfra, har levd et tøft liv med løsrivelse fra normer og skikker og dermed familien og hele pakka. Med fare for å lyde kynisk synes jeg det er litt urettferdig at hun har all denne bagasjen, som karrieremessig ikke taler til annet enn hennes egen fordel. Hmf.Jeg skal nok klare det allikevel.

Change in plans
I am postponing my master thesis for approximately one month. The plan is now to hand it in on June 18... That means that I will be living in Ås in June as well, and not start my summerjob June 2 as planned.
Yesterday, I was in an iterview for a trainee position in something called ForestFutureTrainee. The interview went good, but unfortunately, I did not get the position. Too bad, because I really wanted to. So now the hunt for a job continues.
The spring, or should I say summer, has come to Ås for real now. Everything is green and the sun is shining, and I simply love it. Spring is the best time of the year.

Just master, or master of disaster?
I am now in the finishing period of my master thesis. Correction: I am supposed to be in the finishing period of my master thesis. My emotions are acting like a rollercoaster these days, and some days I`m feeling good about the whole thing, and think that it is manageble to get it done by the deadline, and other days I can`t understand how it is going to work.
But I am trying to stick to the good feelings, and to convince myself that it will be just fine!
As my emotions are up and down, so is my mind about what I am going to do in the nearest future. On my way home from work the other day, it came to me that I am going to work (either as a volunteer or as an employee) in Uganda or another developing country. Most likely Uganda, because I know the country and I love it there. But then again, last week I had decided that I would stay in Norway during the autumn and work (unknown with what), because I want to go to New Jersey/New York in January and work as a trainee. (Unkown how likely that is, but I will definetly try my best to get there).
So- this is me in a very confusing period of my life. Being done with a master is a good thing, but it is at the same time very scary, and I am not sure if I am ready to take part in the reality just yet.
My trip to Geneva was unfortunately canselled. Oh, and by the way, I would love to be taken as a trainee in the WTO as well, but it is very hard to get it..
Summer plans: Work my ass off, and have 10 days in Croatia as holiday, I am really looking forward to that!

A new year
This is me writing from my very own desk from where I am going to create a master thesis. My paper will be about a political process, more specifically the conflict between USA/WTO and the EU/Cartagena Protocol. I have started, and I am planning on having a real kick off soon.
I even have my own drawer with my very own key that goes in it. It feels kind of like a office in 1m2:0)
But it feels good to finally have a place where i can put my things and feel that this is qhere I am going to work for the next 4 months.
I have also moved back to Ås. I was having an inner conflict about moving to Ås or Oslo, but finally I decided Ås to be more close to school. Seems like a good idea.
Travel plans:
Geneva, Switzerland to interview some people about my thesis
Munich, Germany HOPEFULLY see the Killers there in March...
And I want to see the rest of the world too, of course.Especially Asia. If someone knows of a good job where I get to travel, let me know. It`s all I`m asking for. That`s not too much, is it?
:P
