Kitsune: I don't even want to imagine college prices for me in two years. I'd better have a scholarship. That's cool that you can borrow textbooks from the library. Colleges here don't do that. You have to either buy your textbook new or used, or find someone who has already taken that class and is willing to give you that textbook for free.
My friend is going to the HP theme park over the summer, and sadly she said her mom isn't letting friends come along. Plus the time when they're going (end of June, beginning of July) is when I'm probably going to be getting my wisdom teeth out. Fun stuff. Yeah, we'd have to fly down to Florida because driving takes two days or so. It sucks because plane tickets can be expensive.

Yeah, I've heard of the insane prices on the American colleges. >< They're so expensive, it's not even funny. Which makes me more grateful that our universities are free...
Well, we ended up in the shitty situation that our year was the last year that had to actually buy the text books. Which means we couldn't sell them when we were done with them either....
Ah - we went by ourselves. No parents along. mad P: So we didn't have that problem. But that really sucks... Well, most likely you'll go another year anyways. Which is what is great about theme parks - they don't move.
Here, the closest thing we have is a amusement park that lasts for three days before they pack up and move. ._. And it's freakishly expensive. Other places, you pay about 40 dollars and then you get to stay there the whole day and take as many rides as you want - on these things you pay about 50 dollars for six rides, then you have to pay more if you want to take more rides.
Yeah - I know what you mean. But driving there would probably be just as expensive... Or maybe not over there, I dunno. But with our 2.50 dollars a litre gassprices, it get's expensive very quickly.
I actually checked a while about how much it'd be for me to take a plane to Florida... The plane tickets would be about 1300 dollars. crying

Kitsune: $1300! If that's American dollars, then that's cheap. Because I have a friend that lives in Spain and another that lives in Denmark, and they talked about how much it cost to come over here, and it cost a lot more than that.
Yuck...I have school tomorrow, and a math quiz, and a bunch of homework that I have managed to neglect throughout the entire week of spring break...fun stuff. Can't wait to go back to school tomorrow. But on the bright, only two days of school, then two-five hour days, no school Friday, then Easter. So it's a pretty easy week.

Ah, that's the cheap tickets. I don't even want to think about what it's like at a full price! Seriously, that wouldn't be funny.
But I love those cheap little tickets one can get ones hand on. Last time I travelled to Oslo, I got tickets for about 57 dollars... Normally at full price, those tickets would've cost over 330 dollars.
Ah, sucks to be you. Thankfully I have next week off! <3 Easter vacation lasts from the Monday before till second Easter Day here in Norway. wink
And I just posted up the most freaky piece of fiction I've ever written both on fictionpress and on the writing arena here on Gaia.
It's the English version of the story I wrote on my Norwegian test, and I called it "Tiny Little Red Butterflies". Here's an excerpt:
He painted a child with no heart and a hole in his temple; he painted a girl without a face and a white wall with tiny little red butterflies.
Seriously. At times I wonder what is wrong with my head. xp eek

Kitsune: Sounds like an interesting story. And my math teacher ended up postponing the quiz til tomorrow. So I wore my lucky socks for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Yes, I do have a pair of lucky socks. I wear them for most tests and quizzes because I always do better when I wear them.
For Easter, we have 5 hour days on Wednesday and Thursday for parent-conferences and no school on Good Friday.
It was soooo hard to get up for school this morning. I haven't woke up before 10:00 for the past week with the exception of Sunday, and I wasn't able to fall asleep til almost midnight, and I get up a little before 6:00...I hate going back to school after breaks. Does anyone else ever get like that?

I just posted this in the Harry Potter Limerick Contest thread:Quote: I was going to roll dice to determine the winner today. I'd planned on doing it sooner, but then my grandfather passed away and it slipped my mind. sad
However, I see that vballlvr5 didn't know that she could post her limerick (only one since it's one entry per Haven'er) as soon as she sent the trade to Accio, so I won't do it yet.
Everyone, don't worry about Accio Funds not accepting the trades yet. As soon as you send the trade you can post your entry. LadyHealingHands has to log into Accio to accept them since she's the only one with Accio's password.
I'll roll the dice a few days from now, okay? whee Others can still enter!

Thank you Jedi! Actually, I find having lucky socks to be awesome. Wish I had a pair of lucky socks... So, I guess you've taken your quizz now. How did it go? smile
I definitely get like that after a vacation. Except worse. During the vacation, I can easily sleep till 12 and don't get to bed untill 2 - 4 am.
Well, I talked to my mum today. I finally told her how much just being at school bothers me. Apparently, she'd told my doctor that I had difficulties at school due to depression - and it worried him.
You can't exactly get a sick-leave from school.
So after easter I'm going to see the doctor and maybe get anti-depressants. I also have to speak with the school advior about maybe quitting school and become homeschooled instead.
I also have to speak more about school with my psychiatrist and why I'm near having nervous break-downs everytime I'm in a classroom.
The last days before easter, I couldn't even bring myself to enter my classroom, so I ended up sitting in a flight of stairs that's hardly ever used for the entire day.
So yeah. 8B Sweet, sweet 2010.

Kitsune: Yeah, it's pretty awesome having a pair of lucky socks. And I know they're lucky because good things always happen when I wear them. As for my math quiz, I got a 75% because I made some really stupid mistakes. I hope you're able to fix things...I'm not really sure how to word it without it sounding cheesy so yeah.
Today, a group called Invisible Children came to my school. I've known about it for awhile because my friend is the one that asked them to come to my school, and so they came today. They had a guy from Uganda come in and speak and he answered our questions and everything. It was really cool. Basically it's a group that helps out in Uganda by helping rebuild schools and providing education, but they are also doing many other things in regards to the political conflicts in Uganda. It's kinda hard for me to explain, but if you want to know more, visit their website. It's pretty cool.

Just curious but why are they called the Invisable Children? I got my hair cut, relayered, and got bangs today. I think it looks really good. So how are all my fellow Ravenclaws?

Uhhh...not sure why they're called Invisible Children. I can talk to my friend and ask because she's been in contact with them for awhile so she would probably know. I'll definitely get back to you on that.

Damn those mistakes. I know how you feel. I dunno how many times I've facepalmed because I've done some silly mistakes on some test, or something similar.
Well, I quit all my subjects except Math and French. Which means that I have French first period on Tuesday and Math on third period every other week on Tuesday, French on the third period on Wednesday and Math second period on Friday.
Otherwise - I've quit. Since this is the last year I have those subjects, I decided to finish them, so that I won't have to re-take them as a privatist when I'm nearly done with them now..
That's really awesome. For some reason, it reminds me of our "Operasjon Dagsverk" (Operation Daywork?), which is every year at the last Thursday of October.
Students from middle schools and high schools all over the country take one day off from school to work, and gather 200 or 300 kr each. We usually pull in about five million dollars each year for one cause or another.
In 2008 the money were spent to help educate women from small towns in Bangladesh.
vball: Hey! I have bangs as well. 8D
Well, I went to see the diabetes nurse today. On May the 3rd, I'm gonna be hospitilized for two days. I'm going to start using an insulin pump then. Still curious how I'm gonna sleep with a needle in my stomach that is attached to a tube that's attached to a device about the size of my palm. o.O

Kitsune: I hope you do better with a new set up for school (not really sure how to word that). Yeah, I made some really stupid mistakes. I mean, I forgot a negative sign. A negative sign!!!!!!!!!! That's just so stupid. And then the test we had last Thursday was only 11 problems, so if you miss one question, you're pretty much down an entire grade level. And I don't even want to talk about what grade I got on that test. I know a couple of people that have insulin pumps like that. One is a year older than me (junior) and plays tennis, the other is in first grade and she's in the dance class I help teach on Friday nights.
Vball: That sounds cool. I got bangs right after Christmas when I got contacts. I also got my hair relayered. But the funny thing is, when I went back to school, most people noticed my new haircut rather than the contacts.

hmm That is kind of funny. it was probably because hair is more prominent.....I guess. Oh my gosh this girl that I know had a tumor in her stomach! She brought a picture in, it was huge! She said it weighed 15 1/2lbs. They don't think it is cancerous but they haven't gotten the full results back yet. Hopefully it's not.
