are we out of the woods yet?

For tiden er vi i Uluwatu, Bali. Vi sjekket inn på kanskje det stiligste stedet vi har bodd hittil. Bali er overraskende i den form at det ikke bare er et feriested som er tatt over av de vestlige turistene. hadde også sett for meg strender på strender. Surprise, Bali er faktisk mye mer enn som så. De neste dagene skal vi bare slappe av. Eneste som egentlig er på agendaen er å dra til et tempel her. Jeg er i lykkerus stortsett hele tiden, men skal innrømme at hjemmelengselen er her. Skulle bare ønske jeg skulle hjem en liten stund for å så reise videre igjen. En kan ikke alltids få det en vil.

looking at it now, it seems so simple

Despite sleeping only three hours yesterday in prior to my night shift, it was pretty great. It seemed like the opposite of my first night shift. I started out with a nice busdriver on my way to work, there were no shitty teens around. Yesterday I complained to my boss that we needed an extra person, considering the amount of work we had to do the first night shift. So I was almost elated when I saw that we were four for yesterday's (technically today's) shift. Admittedly there were still things to do, but I still felt in control, like I can do this shit. But I did yawn a lot, and my colleague said "yeah, I can see you're tired". I think it's rare that I'm very talkative, and most night shifts I read fan fiction to kill time. But both nights, my colleague talked a lot, so I felt inclined to talk back. I printed out my paycheck at work, and I'm always surprised that I even earn money considering how I barely work. I got home, ate, got ready for bed, and then slept for four hours. I think it was my bladder, and some banging that woke me up. I watched a bit of an old Kardashians episode whilst eating, and I had the giggles. In the episode, Kim is obsessed with Kylie's opinion and afraid she's not cool anymore. It's hilarious. The "third sister" comment from Kris was gold. I got my passport back today, and what a relief. Though when I opened the envelope, my own envelope was returned, closed, as if it hadn't been opened. And for a minute there, I feared it had just been returned without a visa. Monchita watched closely as I opened my passport to check, and there it was, another visa. I'm really grateful my passport came back to me. I bought a load of chocolate, not for me, well, not all of it. But I'm sure I looked like that person who spends their Friday weeping in chocolate. It's started snowing a lot again, which is kind of nice. Oh, and my mother informed me, just before I left the house for a trip to the post office: "your sister and her boyfriend is coming for a brief visit this evening". "What?" I exclaimed. "I told you yesterday," she said. Pretty sure I would've remembered if she told me. I know I don't have the best memory, but that I would remember. I am thinking about doing a bit of cleaning, but to be honest, at the moment I'm sooooooo tired, I can't be bothered. They're only here for dinner anyway. 

I walked out and said "I'm setting you free". But the monsters turned out to be just trees, and when the sun came up you were looking at me

Red strings and a supposedly grandma, jumping into a sea cold enough to freeze to ice on the top, washing away blackness in the shower. It's not a surprise to me that my dreams have been inspired by Teen Wolf. Remember when I wrote that I wouldn't be able to watch the whole of S3 within this week? Well, guess what I've been doing today on my day off. Honestly, I can't recommend spending a day marathon-ing TW without breaks. It's made me really strange. Might just be the season, and the increasing creepiness of it. But I've definitely been a bit more paranoid today. Within Monday I'll probably be finished watching all of the seasons, which means that I'll have watched 60 episodes of TW in 15 days. I am easily obsessed with something, but the obsession easily dies. However, I realised not long ago, that as long as the obsession has been, it only needs a spark to be lightened. It'll be a relief when Monday comes, when I'm done watching all of it. Maybe then I can get my life back, ha. I guess it'll be in time for when the new One Direction tour starts this Saturday. Wow, that means the set list will be revealed in two days. Due to TW, I've barely been on Tumblr as of late, which is new development for me. It also means I've not been as up to date to things as I usually am. Can't say I'm really bothered about it, which is even more surprising. But I feel a lot like it's an evil circle, and sooner than not, I'm going to be watching videos and gif's of One Direction doing their thing on the new tour. Right now I have to go eat, then I'm going to watch the first episode of TW S4. 

are we in the clear yet?

It's been snowing since I woke up this morning, and it looks like it's going to snow throughout the whole day. Today was the last day of my "praksis", which was a bit sad. I removed my schedule from the board in the break room, which felt quite nice. As it is, I did mention that I wasn't going to ask for a job, despite that Manja did weeks ago. But then yesterday, as I was ready to go home, the assistant to the boss at my "praksis" place asked if she could talk to me. I knew then, what she was going to ask me about. The past few weeks, I feel like the boss and her assistant has been looking at me, sort of, like waiting for me to approach them. But then the days were running out, I suppose. So yesterday the assistant offered me a job. And if someone's going to hand you an opportunity like that on a silver plate, you don't say no. "Yes, I'd like that," I answered, and she said "are you sure?" like she thought I didn't want to work there. And I guess that's what they must have thought when Manja asked weeks ago, and I've not asked. Well, it was sort of the truth as well. It's not where I'll end up once I've finished my bachelor. But it's a nice place to be some times. Looking back at myself in Summer, I had no plans about having two jobs this time of year. I did tell the assistant that I've got school, and I don't know how much time I'll dedicate to working. Oh well, this means I'll get to see my supervisors and all the other staff again, which makes me quite happy. Yesterday Manja brought a chocolate cake with her, which she nicely said was from the both of us. I got a text on Tuesday night, asking if I thought it was alright, and I answered yes of course. It was a bloody good cake too, and we ended up copying the recipe. I went home with two slices of cake, which I ate all by myself. I brought a pack of chocolate to work this morning, and there were about two pieces of chocolate left when I went home. I've got this driving thing at 7:00 pm today, which I'm not looking forward to. I'll just be glad to get it over with. I've also got an evening shift at work on Saturday, which I'm not looking forward to after my last shift on Monday. Also, in the past four weeks, I've either had work or "praksis" during the weekend. So I'm looking forward to a full weekend off. But I'm looking forward to tomorrow, because it's the 1975 gig (unless Matty gets ill. Ah, the other day I read that Kodaline had to cancel all of their US tour due to a broken arm or summat. And I felt really sad on the behalf of all the people who doesn't get to see Kodaline, which also includes myself. God, it's like I'll never forget about that). But yes, I am looking forward to watch the gig and have a pint. Anyway, have a nice Thursday evening. This is the start of the weekend for me, so I'm going to enjoy it. 

Remember when we couldn't take the heat. I walked out. I said “I’m setting you free”, but the monsters turned out to be just trees

I heard Out of The Woods by Taylor Swift this morning, and strangely so, I've become obsessed with it (for now). The start is quite disturbing to my ears, and I thought it was a joke at first. But I realised that yes, it is a song by Swift. The main reason to why I enjoy it is because of the lyrics and the thought of the love story between Taylor and Harry (Styles). It made me quite emotional this morning, listening to Swift sing: "You took a Polaroid of us. Then discovered the rest of the world was black and white. But we were in screaming color". And then I saw pictures like this and this. Admittedly there's been no conformation that the song is about them, but she does mention December, and the lyrics suits them. But yeah, I was maybe a bit overemotional this morning due to less sleep than normal. But I am good at finding things like this sad. Work yesterday wasn't ideal. I wasn't with my normal patients, and it felt a bit like I had just started working at a new place. I thought it was quite ironic, as I had just meet a childhood friend on the bus and told her about how I really enjoyed my job. Oh well, there's good and bad days. This morning at "praksis" was a bit slow, I thought. But it picked up a bit after awhile, and I ended up having to leave before I had finished treating my patient. But someone else stepped into my place, and picked up where I left things. I'm starting to feel a bit like I don't want to leave my "praksis". And it is mostly because of the people. They're so niiiiiiice, ugh. It's hands down one of the best working environments I've been in. I've mentioned it before, but it doesn't make it less true. However, the cons are: I don't get to make a proper relation to my patients because they leave so quickly. We don't do much nurse-related procedures. It's just not my line of work, I think. Oh well. I'm looking forward to listen to lectures with my pals. Mostly the last part. I'm not looking forward to the stress that the exam will bring along, and I've already started thinking about my next and final "praksis". Ah, my brain is split in two; one trying to think ahead, and the other screaming "one step at a time". Goodness, I'm really behind on reading curriculum, so I'm going to try read some now. Hope you've had a nice Tuesday, and hope you'll have a good tomorrow.
