The weeks from hell

The next couple of weeks is gonna be packed with school work and a lot of assignments for me to do, and exams to study for. I am so not looking forward to it, but when it’s all done in the beginning of June I’m done with the spring semester. I did however get accepted to the summer course so I’ll be starting to weeks of class immediately after all my exams is done. Then I’m gonna have a couple of weeks off before the exams for the summer course. So as you can see I’ll have a lot to do. And on top of all of this my sister is having her baby in 4-6 weeks, could be sooner or later, and I’m going on the cruise to Riga and Visby.

I’ve also started thinking about going to London next summer or so but I’m not sure because I’ve never travelled completely alone before. A sign for the fact that I should go though is that when I was at the mall today a randomly got a travel guide book for free and it was for London.

Since I’m really tired and has a lot to do I’m gonna move on to the questions.

Mine: The longest I’ve slept I think is 24-26 hours straight.

Chris: The oldest thing I personally own is a teddy bear that I got when my grandfather died and it’s about 70 years old, but it looks like it could have been bought yesterday because both he and I have taken very good care of it.

Sam: As you can see I didn’t do your challenge this week. Mainly because I don’t have time but also because I don’t have a working camera at the moment and when I started writing this blog today I didn’t know exactly what superfluous meant so I couldn’t properly use it in sentences.

New question: I need some advice, what do you think about my plans of going to London. Should I consider doing it? I mean it is after all a big city and it would be my first time travel alone.

We will stop these tourist killers.

I have decided some deviation from my usual, by posing today, because I felt like it. Also, for some ultra cool reason I have no school for the next four days. Anyway, I'll begin with this week, where on wednesday Barack Obama was celebrating his 100th day as the president. Of course, I still remeber the blogs we wrote when he was first selected and 100 days seems and awfully long time ago considering that feels as if I wrote it about five minutes ago. Unfortunatley, the fact it seems the world is just getting over him (although the media still insists of shoving down stories about how he bought a new pet fish and what toothpaste he uses e.t.c.) raises questions about if he is fullfilling his role of the president of the untited states of america. But, I personally don't think we've given him enough time to discover if he is a peice of stainless steel or waiting to rust, if that makes any sense what so ever. But let's look what history has shown us; Hitler: (Please don't misunderstand the fact I am comparing Hitler to Obama xD) I doubt anybody could become a world hate figure in 100 days apart from George Bush. And I beleive that Barack Obama has been much better than George Bush ever was through-out his entire career. I mean SO much better. For a number of reasons: He doesn't declare war on 'trrists' every time you say hello to him and, more importantly, he has completed evolution. And I really had no idea, why he kept on declaring a war on tourism; I myself have been a tourist and I did not appreciate how I was a branded killer for being a tourist:

we will stop these tourist killers

But back onto Hitler, I have proen that my maths teacher, is in fact Hitler. Hitler began breaking a few rules, like making an army (as germany was banned from doing so after WW1) Then he moved onto worse things, yet the surrounding countries were hesitant to intervien. It took something ridiculous for anyone else to think 'should we stop this guy?'. That is exactley my math's teacher. Let's just compare WW1 to her getting her job, don't ask why, other than they were both terrible and led to the death of millions of children (that is, of course, not to attempt to play down the seriousness of WW1 in any way). Then she begins breaking a few rules, but no other teachers will intervien so long as they are cosy.
So I have rambled for quite a while about.. well technicaly, nothing, but anyway, I have one more thing to do: Les questions:
Longest without sleep: I never sleep. Well.. ok maybe I do, but to be honest I have no idea. I think about three days when I was in cornwall with mates.
Longest sleeping: I think your 12-14, is my equivalent of a nap. I would therefore have to conclude the longest I ever slept is probably a number of years.
My own question: Well, I already speak every language ever made ( I wish), and I can already fly (on an areoplane), I can already read minds (My own mainly being the key point in that), and I can already beat anyone in a fight (mainly because I am a very quick runner); meaning I am left with the reduntant and rather amusing skill of being able to breath fire. Although, given the choice I would chose all of them.
My new question: Although I could ask 'do you think Barack Obama has done a good job so far' I feel like something different... hmm.


Some considerable time and many seconds later:

A challenge, because people seemed to like them: I challenge you to see how many dry crackers you can eat in two minutes and film it. If you can't or can't be bothered to do that then I challenge you to see how many times you can fit the word: superfluous, in context into your blog. If you do both then brilliant. I know that's cruel, but sorry xD
That's all for today Bye!

My room exploded...

... Ok, not actually but it might as well have. I decided to rearrange all the furniture in my room and give it a good cleaning! After finishing off series 2 of spooks, I spent the greater part of the evening taking apart my room, moving everything, and then putting it back together again.

Nothing terribly exciting has happened since my last update, other then I am finally done school for the semester, and am now officially on summer break. That being said, I seem to only have one day off and that is tomorrow. Since I'm working Thursday evening and then have to get up bright and early to start my new job on Friday. We are heading to the mountains for the weekend (Canmore) about an hour away, for a staff retreat. The idea is that we can get to meet everyone in a casual environment and also get trained for our jobs. The real work will start the following Tuesday. It will be nice to get out of the city and I am looking forward to the trip. Speaking of trips my parents have decided to once again go on vacation to america, this is the 6th time in the past 4 years! They will be visiting the west coast with stops in San Diego and Los Angeles. Hopefully things work out for my own travel plans to San Francisco in June, but I shall keep everyone posted.

Questions:

Mine: I think the longest I've stayed awake is around 48-60 hrs. I haven't really had a need to stay awake for much longer. The worst was on our trip to europe last year. We left Calgary at noon, landed in Frankfurt at 9:00 am local time, drove to visit our cousin in Köln, then drove back to Frankfurt, arrived around midnight, waited around for our flight to Tunisia at 4 am, arrived in Tunisia at 7:00 am. So not only did I not sleep for those two days, but I also had horrible jet lag!

Emma: Longest I slept was probably about 12-14 hrs.

New: What is the oldest thing you own, and where did it come from?

I miss so much

This week has been pretty uneventful and has mainly contained schoolwork, and that is how the coming six week will be too. I did however meet up with some friends and we watched Mamma Mia the sing-a-long version and ate cake and chocolate.

Last Friday I got an appointment for today at a hairdresser and during the week I changed my mind several times because as I’ve said before I have a hard time making decisions and my hair is very important to me. So today I went to the salon and got my new haircut and I actually like it. But I think it’ll take some time getting used to, I haven’t had bangs (fringe) for the last decade. Gosh, that made me feel old… I think I’m gonna start saying that I haven’t had bangs for the last 9-10 years instead, it sounds like a shorter amount of time.

Let’s move on to the questions because I have to go to bed since I have a morning class again tomorrow.

So my obsession is of course Internet and my computer if you hadn’t already guessed it.

Sam: My first thought was to choose the ability to read peoples mind, but then I realized that would mean me knowing everything people thinks of me, both the good and the bad and I don’t know if I would be able to take that. I think I’d rather live in ignorant bliss and choose the ability to have an instant foreign language.

Chris: The longest I’ve gone without sleep is around 60-70 hours I think. I’m not 100% sure.

So my question is gonna be on the theme of sleep too, “How many hours is the most you’ve slept for at once?”

ZzzzZzzz...

Well I'm posting later then usual, several days later. This is largely due to the insanity of the past few days. On Tuesday I got so wrapped up in studying that I just forgot to post all together and essentially did the same thing on Wednesday. Thursday was my day from hell. I had an exam at 8:00 am, followed by 5 hours of studying and then another exam at 3:30 pm, followed by writing a lab report for 10 hours! I'm not even joking when I say that I was at school for a full 24 hrs non-stop, and constantly working on something. After that I came home and passed out for a few hours and then went to an interview. The interview went quite well I think! :)

In more exciting news, I got a job offer from the previous interview I had, as an instructor for summer science camps for kids! It sounds like a lot of fun. I get to do fun science experiments with students from grades 3-8. I also am suppose to start getting trained at the astrophysical observatory soon as well. So, so far I'm happy to report that I have summer work lined up.

I mainly just went to this interview today to just have a back up. It would also be a fun job, but not quite as fun. Apparently there were over 250 applicants, and I was selected as a top 40 finalist.

Anyway, thats all for now. Just a quick update.

Questions:

Mine: I think I'll have to agree with Emma, I'm pretty much addicted to my computer and the internet, and it is often the first/last things I do/look at in my day.

Emma: I think my biggest obsession is the internet, followed by all things european and japanese, and imported things in general.

Sam: I think mind reading would definitely be cool, and probably my most favorable choice out of those given.

New: What's the longest you have ever gone without sleep?
