The birth of Venus

Now I only miss the conclusion and some read-through-it-a-couple-of-times with my "særemne"!
Weeeeeee, maybe I could actually watch a movie tonight. I always thought that the night before the deadline of the "særemne", I would be one of those who sit up half of the night to write the assignment with a lot of stress.

Some Italian experiences

This day has been great!

I love the Italian coffee shop right by the corner of my school<3
Today I went there twice. First in the launch pause with a friend. I ordered some coffee in Italian and she in Spanish which led to a Italian-Spanish-conversation with the men who make the coffee. I think they liked us, because suddenly they brought up this chocolate cake and said "per voi"! Both me and my friend were stunned, but the Italians were like "certo, certo!" They are so nice:) Like this isn't enough me and an other girl from my class went to the coffee shop later that day. (Actually the name is "La Famiglia".) When we got there they played this funny Italian song. Therefore we started to dance and the coffee men turned up the volume. They got a laugh and again- we got a coffee for free:D It seems like the Italians in "La Famiglia" appreciate me and my friends a lot. (Or at least I hope so.)

My school is really starting to get better and better, now with my contact with "La Famiglia" and also my new hiding place. Or it's more like a peaceful place. I found it when I had some spare time for studying, it's actually in the attic. Very few people stay there (except from some musicians, and they don't care of me beeing there). I even got five minutes of sleep at my new 'secret' place:D

Otherwise my Italian teacher finally got home again after her stay in Italy. In class we read Dante's La Divina Commedia while we ate bruschette with cheese and olives from Pisa. (She brought it for class.) How wonderful isn't that!
Some Dante quotes:
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
chè la diritta via era smaritta
- The beginning of Canto I -

and

... lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate.

I'm suppposed to learn these by heart till next class:P

Btw: tomorrow I'll sit at the library the whole day working with my "særemne":D

La balla di mascherata,
dov'è?
Il tempo faceva più rapito
ed adesso
non lo so dove
sono,
quando tutti i miei pensieri
concostono della musica classica, gli abiti e...
questo momento-
Ahimè! Nel momento ho capito
un segreto della danza!

The opera ball

Last Saturday I was at an opera ball with some friends.
Oh, I miss it so much... The lovely evening really just flew away! There were lots of dancing, an opera (without it, it couldn't have been "an opera ball":P), beautiful and magnificent costumes etc. etc. etc.

I really --- wow, right now I discovered the name of a song I've really have wanted to know for a long time now, oh, the explorement gives such a lovely satisfaction!--- can't concentrate with the stupid homework. Instead I tend to sit at facebook, watch the pictures from the ball and listen at Strauss. Generally I've gotten into a obsession-of-classical-music-period xP Who would have thought of that!?:P
It's really... harmonic. Like in the morning I play Strauss- Radetzky march. And in the evening I play Strauss- Radetzky march and guess what.. when I have some free hands in front of the computer I'm listening at Strauss- Radetzky march. Yay! Earlier this day I also discovered a classical music cd, yay yay!

Well, I should probably get some sleep now. Tomorrow me and an other girl have to arrange games for 150 students who don't really want to be there. These games are also going to be played outside. Hum. This is going to be an interesting challenge. Luckily we got a megaphone, without we would really have been lost.

I'm going to get damn tired tomorrow

I don't know why some evenings are different from others. Like this one. I'm pretty reckless and I shudder of the thought of all my homework (which I'm kind of avoiding). Most of it is because of my little devil computer. With the internet I get pretty much distracted and... obsessed. This night is going to be a night with very little sleep.
Tomorrow I'm going to be pretty angry with myself.

A long time ago

Well, now it's been ages since last time I've posted something. (Surprise!)
It was the day before an English test last time I posted. Tomorrow there's going to be another English test. Hm, what a coincidence?

At the moment I'm pretty stressed with my "særemne" (a big assignment at school) and all the other subjects, but still I kind of give priority to other things, like the Spanish Film Festival, the Masquerade, the party with my colleagues etc:P I'm really a person who works with pressure on me, otherwise I well... you know.

Btw: We've got wireless network! Even though I don't like the radiation, it's amazing to sit in my room, or in my bed or upside-down-whatever with internet=D

So long p.!

My not so effective day

This was supposed to be my work-at-home-day. Unfortunately (and typically me) that didn't work very well. Tomorrow I'm going to have this English test and a Spanish presentation. After I read the chapters I was supposed to read in my English book I went out for a walk. Unpredicted I ended up at Sognsvann, a little lake near the forest. Suddenly I got the idea that I could visit my friend who lives not so far away from the lake. And so I did. We ate dinner and ice cream together, it was so nice:D Furthermore I had to go and now I'm home again. The homework and studying still await me *blah*! I mean, in no time I get reckless. It's something with the everyday-life, I'm really bad at handling it.

D.

It was the essence of dreams filled with magic. All the colors they danced, they smiled, they loved and -died. Sometimes I've imagined a palace with love, diamonds and drama, but thousands of them!? There were so many details, tortuous details. The music combined all of it together with metaphors. All the impressions are flying, when did they stretch out their wings? It begins with a D.

---

I thought the choice was made, but now I'm back at where I begun. Spain or Italy? It sounds ridiculous, I LOVE Italy<3, but I don't want to go there with these persons (the class). Later I'm going to experience the country all by myself when I find my self studying at the university. After all this is a "klassetur", not a trip deciding my future. If Italy lies so close to my heart, then the relationship would probably be stronger by some distance I think.

A lovely dress

A fantastic dress occurred to me at my mother's computer. Just look for yourself:

I'm in this thinking process and search for my masquerade dress. For some reason I realized that it may be a little impossible to make my own renaissance dress in nearly two months. This one is soo beautiful, but it's sold - damn.

Wops, I forgot to use the lj-cut thing. Next time, I promise.

The OC-marathon

The greatest OC-marathon ever took place this weekend. And I wasn't alone (that would've been kind of lonely) but with two other also OC-addicted girls:D It was so fun! We ate lots of candy and just lay down and watched the episodes with few breaks. We ate real food when our stomachs really did hurt (okay, may be not the most responsible way of acting towards our precious stomachs, but it's allowed once in a while). We did unfortunately stop at the episode right before the one Seth and Summer get back together again. Our daily-lifes returned and we had to get home preparing for school and the civilized world that does not include OC. If I'm lucky I'll probably dream about Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer tonight^^ It really wouldn't leave my mind right now *grin*.

A little bird whispered in my ear (okay is there an English expression for this? Because I get the feeling that it sounds may be a little too Norwegian) that I missed the Toga Party this weekend though. I hope you had fun! I'll join you next time:D

Btw, creds to iconicflurry for the userpic.

ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR (and actually my senior high school year)

Well, then my summer vacation ended again. Time disappeared too quickly and the school awaits me one more time… With homework, tests, stress etc. But – my time table is great! This year I’m going to study languages and I’m going to have so much spare time (compared to my other school years). And I have like so many things I want to do:D

First of all I’ll begin with yoga and maybe some meditation.
Then I’ll try out kickboxing (I need some muscles you know and be able to defend my self:P)
If I’m really lucky the time will let me to the stable as well.

Otherwise I’m going to be RUSS this year! Okay, I’m not the biggest party babe and I’m not going to ride in a “russebuss” all the time. For me a RUSS is kind of a symbol for ending the high school education, get out in life and on the way have some crazy fun!

What also make this year so much better is my new ALARM CLOCK=D For two years I've used a terrible alarm from my selphone (don't ask why I haven't done anything with it before xP) and now I have a fancy radio alarm clock. *weeee*

BTW this night I saw the movie “The Mumy – the kingdom of the emperor” or something. The movie was so damn crappy that I laughed trough the whole movie! Me and my friend couldn’t take anything serious even in the action scenes and the sad scenes.
Warning: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME:P

Dyrafjeld

This night I dreamt about Dyrafjeld. The beautiful 19th century ship me and my friends sailed with for like a month ago. Baaaah, the time moves to quickly! (And it feels like we went on that trip a year ago or something..)
Anyway, in my dream we were going on another sailing trip before the summer vacation ends. Unfortunately I was really unprepared and therefore I went to the city centre (while the others were on the ship) in Oslo for getting my wool clothes, warm socks and all that stuff in my mother's house. I had to make it before it was too late and the ship sailed its way. The city centre wasn't how it used to be and I got really stuck. Specially when I went through a mall, there was no way out! And when I finally found a little exit door I came outside in a forest. Actually the forest was very harmonic with a little lake and a Scottish man who played a bagpipe. But how was I supposed to find my mother's house and come back to the ship?! I had no idea. In this moment somebody woke me up and the dream was gone.

Well, there's no extra sailing trip for this summer, but our trip in June was amazing! Here are some pictures:

The Dark Knight

After I saw the movie I was speechless, really!
There were so much chaos, psychotic themes and the Joker himself - let's say it like this, I'm really glad it was just a movie.
I've never been into Batman, but this movie made a huge effect on me. When my friend and I came out of the cinema it was this storm outside, with a lot of rain, thunder, lightning. And then I mean A LOTS OF IT! That made the impression of the movie even more great!

I think I have to see it again, or will I? I don't want to ruin the impression, but the movie was so twisted..

Ed è subito sera

Some months ago my wonderful italian teacher introduced me to this little poem written by Salvatore Quasimodo.
The name is "Ed è subito sera", which means "and soon the night falls". The poem is like this (sorry if my translation isn't correct):

Ognuno sta solo sul cuor della terra                   Everyone is alone within the heart of the earth
trafitto da un raggio di sole                                    spited with a spear
ed è subito sera.                                                      and soon the night falls.

-Quasimodo-

Last night I was wandering in the streets on my way home. I started to think about the little poem. It was this relaxed summer night with a pretty chilled heat and a lovely, almost a little mysterious atmosphere. Therefore I sat down at this quiet place and wrote my own continuation for the poem.

Adesso,
la sera è venito.
Gli alberi spedono guardate sospettose,
ombre estrane apparono,
e le stelle ridono sott'occhi.

-Plautilla-

Summer and stuff

Today it's damn hot! I like it though:P
At the moment I'm reading the book "Love in the time of Cholera" by Gabriel García Marquéz, an incredible latin-american writer.
I love how he twins details and little stories while telling the main story. It's really amazing...

I've heard that they've made an movie out of it, but it got like really bad reviews.
Here's the trailer. I think it's too american for an latin-american story and concept though.

Welcome to my journal!

Finally I've realised that I have to be more active at livejournal.

This is my new one, called Plautilla_1492. I got the name Plautilla from the book "The birth of Venus". It takes place in the year 1492 in the renessance (the most exciting historical period if you ask me!).

Wish me luck!
