How to feed yourself

To feed yourself you need money. To get money you need a job, or a sugar daddy or very very kind parents.

Well, if you don't want to work, you can go on dates (free dinner!)

or you can buy a ugly sleeping bag and sit on a bridge with a old one-time-use coffee cup,

or you can learn pole dancing,

or exchange good marks for money (with your parents, like an A is 100 EUR).

You can make Christmas cards instead of buying presents this year

or write a very good novel

or start knitting

or say something smart and get quoted all the time

or buy a fancy dress and make sure you get your picture taken at all major events

or do an "Joe the plumber"

or make a very cool t-shirt

or turn off the heat

or move back home to your parents

or just sleep all day

or not eat

or you can write a good blog and put Ad's on it

or you can just get a job.

When everything sucks

The DVD collection sucks, the food sucks, the teachers sucks, your assignment sucks, the weather sucks, the TV program sucks, the sofa sucks, all the people on MSN sucks, your car sucks, your personal economy sucks and your new job definitely sucks. The only thing that does not suck, is your vacuum cleaner.

The college list

THE list of what you need for college;

Short version
Remember beer.

Long version:
Buy clothes in the same colour, so you don't need to worry about the typical washing problems.
Beer
Earplugs
A warm jacket
Let your mom help you moving, so you can get a lot of stuff you need for free.
Don't go naked on parties, even thought you really want to.
You don't need to be a good dancer, you just copy others.
Buy a jacket with a lot of pockets so you don't need a purse.
Never start a fight with a person taller than you.
Start with assignments right away, or pay someone to do it.
Be organised, learn how to hide your mess.
Find IKEA, or Dunnes Stores
Go on dates all the time, get free dinner.
Always put your charm on older men at the bar, they get you beer and never dance.
You don't need to remember names "you are the one from France, right?"
Never speak "drunk" with someone sober.
Never snog the most handsome guy, he might be a source of STD's. (Sexually Transmitted Disease)
CONDOMS
If someone put a flashlight in your face, you probably are on the wrong place at the wrong time.

You Got Mail!

Today I got a parcel from Afghanistan!

I have a parcel-friend who is serving in Afghanistan now and he sent me a beautiful scarf, a hat (like the one the human smuggler in the movie The Kite Runner use) And he also sent me a postcard from the military camp he have been living in for several months, and he also drew a ring around his sleeping tent. And i must say I prefer The Halls of Residence, that tent looked a bit to chilly for me.

Things I learned today

1. Toast with baked beans is not a tasty treat, and won't be eaten ever again.

2. Chicken soup with extra onion and sweet corn is heaven.

3. It is sort of legal here in Ireland to take an abortion, if you go to see a psychiatrist about committing suicide if you have to keep the baby.

4. I want to fly back to Norway, especially when the ticket to and from is 46 EUR.
