Et par briller og en allegori

Saturday, December 20th, 2008 by Kiyu

…

Med morgendagens oppfinnelser overlater vi all arbeidskraft til de vi påtvinger naturens villmannskap slik at vi bare følger etter som oppsynsmenn.

~Fritt etter ukjent forfatter

Lyset blinker grelsk mot han fra lysstoffrørene. De er få og relativt langt plassert fra hverandre. han skritter haltende bort til borteste hjørne og gir henne et melankolsk blikk.
“På tide å gå av med pensjonen, jenta mi,” klapper han henne varsomt. Hun fnyser av han, anklager han for å forrådt henne, for å ha begått utroskap. Han hadde latt henne i stikken helt siden den skjebnesvangre dagen han fikk den snertne, nye yndlingen sin. Alle hadde klappet og vært overlykkelige. Jublet, til og med. Ingen hadde tatt notis av henne. Han sukker.
“Du har vært lojal mot meg i alle disse årene, men du veit da like godt som meg at jeg neppe er noen ungkar lenger. Kroppen min er ikke slik den en gang var, jeg holder ikke tritt.”
Han strekker ut det stive benet sitt.
Hun gråter innvendig.

I might post up the rest of the essay in January 2009, depending on how well it’s graded. (That’s right, I have no faith in my own writing.)

Here’s one of two pairs of glasses I just ordered. I couldn’t find a picture of the other pair (which is my favorite) but I’m positive it’s the same brand.

I got two pair of glasses for less than 4000 NOK, now THAT’S a bargain! (It was a 2 for 1 deal)

I had a peek at my fall/winter term report today. YES, I GOT TWO 6! One in written Norwegian and one in oral English! Man, I’m so proud of myself right now (especiay the written Norwegian grade). Let me bask in my own satisfying light for a little while longer, eh!

3.5: Naturlige antioksidanter i fruktsaft

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 by Kiyu

Utstyr:

  • Div. frukter
  • Begerglass
  • Reagensrør
  • Pipetter
  • Jodløsning
  • Stivelseløsning
  • Hydrogenperoksidløsning
  • Vernebriller

Hensikt:
Undersøke hvilke frukter som inneholder mest antioksidanter.

Framangsmåte:


Cales, min sammensvorne labpartner!
..og en gruppe i bakgrunnen Cales referer til som “random”.


Ingen forskning uten riktig utstyr!
I de 4 små begerglassene som står på rekke er det fruktsafter av henholdsvis appelsin, ananas, sitron og kiwi. Mango hadde vi i et annet begerglass. Bak fruktglassene ligger stivelse og jodløsning.
Foran stativet ligger hydrogenperoksidløsningen.


Hvert reagensrør er fylt opp med 1ml fruktsaft, 1ml jodløsning, 1ml stivelse og til slutt 1ml hydrogenperoksidløsning. Når vi fyller på med hydrogenperoksidløsning tar vi tiden på hvor lang tid det tar før løsningen begynner å bli blå. Jo lengre tid den bruker, jo større er innholdet av C-vitaminer (som altså er en antioksidant)!
F.v.: kiwi, mango, sitron, ananas, appelsin


Venstre: Hva er et forskningsprosjekt uten en “scientist gone mad”?
Høyre:
“Cales, your eyes look droopy. Stop looking so angry all the time, man!”
“Ok!” *sperrer opp øynene*


Venstre: Vi venter på at mangoprøven vår skal bli blå. Ser dere stoppeklokka?
Høyre: Sitronprøven har allerede blitt blå (2min 47sek) :D


Mangoprøven blir aldri blå!

Resultater:
Appelsin: 1 min 43 sek
Ananas: 2 min 47sek
Sitron: 2 min 47 sek
Kiwi: 53 sek
Mango: 29 min +

Konklusjon:
Mango inneholder mye C-vitaminer, altså den er proppfull av antioksidanter! Ingen grunn til å kjøpe blåbærjuicen til Tine, spis heller mye mango! Healthy and delicious :D

Shouldn’t I be a bit more worried?

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 by Kiyu

Did I ever say I wanted to do a math exam if I were to choose? You know what, I take it back. I take it ALL back. As luck would have it, I was one of many students who were chosen to do the math exam. And I was overjoyed to find out aswell. Well, that was 5 days ago.
Certainly you’ve noticed how this green meadow has been in lack of updates the past week. That’s merely because I’ve been studying for the exam. Or at least I tried my best to bring myself to do so. My study musé was hiding from me. My conscience is screaming at me, but hell I don’t feel depressed or nervous or anything negative at all. I never do with maths, and that’s the only good thing about it in this case.
I actually feel very relaxed, and I probably should be biting my nails in anxiousness like so many others I know will do right now.
You probably guessed already, but yes it went to hell and deeper than that. It probably went straight to the core of earth!
I’m not whining about a test like normal people do after EVERY test they have, no matter how they think it went. I don’t whine about tests, I always do fairly well. But hell this one really went to the pits of the burning underworld.
The tasks were unfamiliar, and I had to really THINK a lot to be able to do the ones I managed to do. I never had much geometry in class, and they just had to fill 1/4 of the exam with it, eh? Everyone in the room was struggling with the exam, I was not alone.

What’s funny is that Mai Linh had HER physics exam in the same room with us VG2 R1 students. She and four others. Her exam was the spitting image of mine, she thought it went too well. Gee. This will be the worst grade I’ve ever had in a millennia. I’m lucky if I get a 3!

Dangit. Dropping down from a 5 to a 3 really sucks.

Owch – my teeth

Monday, April 21st, 2008 by Kiyu

I could hear the franting flapping of dozens of pages. The tension was overwhelming, and I could sense the steem of concentration emerging from the guy next to me. From the corners of my eyes, I could see him glancing over at my desk every now and then, surely to catch a glimpse of the rough outlines of the digits and letters on my own papers.
Worry for both the guy next to me and the guy infront to the right, gradually crept on me. Especially Cales, in front to the right, seemed troubled. But I couldn’t see how I could help them out in any way legal. My jaw was clenched tight shut, and my teeth were gritting hard as a result of all the tension sorrounding me. My teeth are still hurting as I write this.

I fixed my blue eyes on the papers infront of me once more, and plotted down several more numbers after a few seconds of rambling in my brain for the right section. Maths has never been a pain to me. I’ve always found numbers comforting, I don’t have to think that much. I just have plot down some numbers and letters, see the logic and solve the matter in the only way it can be solved. Saves my brain a lot of energy compared to non-scientific subjects.
Don’t get me wrong though, I can get really fired up when it comes to writing. But if I can take it easy and relax my brain in any way possible (and in any situation possible), I most likely will.

One down, another pre-exam (International English this time) coming up this thursday.

I think I need to get home now. I need to get something to eat before I head off to rehearse with Phuc. Nana. I think the maths pre-exam went quite well!
