How I did it: I finally got the chance to do this last month, in one of the best places imaginable, with the best company imaginable! That is, in the magical Norwegian forest with my love. The preparation didn't take long; we got together some clothes, the tent, a sleeping bag, sleeping mats, a few bottles of water, vacuum packed food, a gas stove, pot for boiling water and most importantly (for us, at least) chocolate! We were only going for one … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't think my keyboard was that dirty, it just looked like the fronts of the keys were a little grey. To clean it, I usually just tip it upside down now and then to let the crumbs and dust fall out, and give it a little wipe over with a cloth.....a few days ago, however, I spilt some yogurt on it, so I took off the few keys it landed on to clean it up. I noticed it was quite dirty underneath, so ended up taking all the keys off....and… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My aim was to travel more, and seeing as I'm fitting in as much travel as the working year allows me, I think I've achieved this!I looked for the cheapest airline to travel with, and booked flight tickets in advance, as the price seems to rise in time. I also planned ahead the best times to travel. It's incredibly exciting having something like that to look forward to, and there is of course the travel itself. I love finding, seeing … Read how I did it…
I love him so incredibly dearly, yet, I hate to admit it: I at times let the silliest and most trivial things bother me, and end up acting so sarcastically, stubbornly and stupidly. I know he’d never intentionally hurt me, and he’ll always be devoted to me and only me. I need to make myself realise this, and treat him the way he deserves. He’s my life, after all.
I have some questions I’d like to ask about achieving this goal, by people who have already done so (I write it as an entry, because there is a character limitation in the ‘ask for advice in meeting this goal’ part.)
I am hoping to move to Norway from England next year, to live with my boyfriend (he is Norwegian and already living there). I currently have two jobs, so I am trying to save as much as possible before I go.
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to find a job quite soon after moving there, although it’ll have to be something quite simple, as the work I do already is unqualified (although I do have qualifications, but in something not all that easy to find a career in) and I know only basic words and phrases in the language, although I am studying and learning, and hope to take classes once I am there.
My first question is, has anyone else been in this situation, and how easy/difficult was it to find a job?
Also, I wondered what kind of things I’d need to do before leaving? For example, notifying different people/places of an address change, and other such important information and preparations. I am quite naive and unknowledgable in such matters! :/
I’ve just been doing some Norwegian vocabulary quizzes. Although simple, I find them very effective. My sometimes funny and absurd answers make me laugh so much after I’ve seen what they really mean, and I then remember the real answer once I’ve been shown it at the end.
I think I’m in danger of becoming obsessed!
