The lecturer showed us six random, chemical structures. Looking expectantly at the rows of students before him, he asked if we knew what they were. “Morphine,” a voice from somewhere behind me, announced. “Heroine,” he continued, while my expression gradually changed from puzzlement to disbelief. Not because I didn’t believe in him, he was correct, but because I was put off. It never occurred to me that I was competing against that. Was I supposed to recognize the structures? I sure hope he was just being clever.

I hear the temperature back home is dropping below zero in the mornings these days. And apparently, it’s snowing in Trondheim. Me? I’ve just registered that it’s actually October now.

I have posted a few pictures, btw; http://kiyu-shii.net/zenphoto/photography/events/uea-1st-year/

Need coffeeine?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009 by Kiyu
It’s Sunday morning, not much later than 7:30, and I woke up on my own accord. Amazing. Especially since I was out dancing last night. I should have slept in, right?

I actually had a good time last night. I had no idea I could (or would) dance, I’m not used to having four drinks in one night (usually, I just get one, two or none at all. I reckon I will get drunk very fast with my tiny body), and I’m definitely not used to random guys touching and kissing me and then wanting me to come home with them. Eww. Well, Chris, my brit house mate who lives across the door of my room, has promised to look after me (and remind me of embarrassing things, that bastard) for the rest of the events here. So don’t worry your sweet heads my dears, I’ll be perfectly fine.

Two fast facts I’ve taken notice to lately;

  • Brits love saying “that’s fair enough” as a conclusion to an argument, and constantly asking “are you alright?” even if you are alright. I think. Perhaps I didn’t look quite alright. I dunno.
  • Brits don’t know how to make coffee. I asked for a latte with vanilla, and I got something akin to hot milk (not properly steamed) with coffee poured on top.

We love our neighbour houses, we’re 8-9 people in each house here at Constable Terrace. I’m going to have a horrible time trying to recognize and remember all the names of the three-four houses. That devilishly handsome guy I twittered about, he’s from Australia (so many Australian people here!), and wasn’t as gentleman as I thought he’d be. Never judge a book by its cover, eh. Well, no matter, there’s another cute guy in the neighbour house!

I’m so happy I actually get up this early in the mornings on my own accord (I’ve seriously gotten up at around 8 every day since I arrived), it means I’ll have the time to blog and update you guys. Goodness knows I don’t have the time during the day!

I have a coffee date with Josh from the US, another house mate on the floor below me, in about one hour (it’s already 9:52!), so I have to go downstairs to the kitchen and fetch some breakfast. I’m starving. And no, it’s not a date as in I’m dating. Just a coffee morning meeting thing we’re attending. Lala. See you some other morning!

KIDS JUST WANNA HAVE RUSS CARDS

Sunday, April 26th, 2009 by Kiyu

YEH, FIRST TIME TALKING ENGLISH. I do change my English accent often (ugly Norwegian, American, British) due to the fact that I’m sorrounded by Norwegians, watch too much American movies and adore British dramas. I am too easily affected by whatever language/accent I’m sorrounded by in the moment! But I usually talk American-ish. I hope it’ll settle into ONE accent if I decide to study in Britain!

That’s Pucko my friend playing one of the kids. I’ll explain some more of the russ traditions in some later posts!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009 by Kiyu

I managed to film parts of our trip to England with my cellphone camera, and since I’m too lazy to type a long post about the events (sorry Anna!), I decided to parch together some clips instead.

The pictures are added to the gallery and you can now find them here.

Enjoy!

No subtitles this time. (The first clips are from the University of Essex)

Listening: Kerry Ellis – I’m not that girl (Wicked OST)
