BUNGEE JUMP AT RJUKAN

Åsmund — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:32:27 +0000

Andreas and I bungee jumped from the 84m high Vemork bridge near Rjukan today. Absolutely fantastic! I don’t have any images of the jumps atm., so an image of the jump order will have to do. 8: Andreas and 9: me!

DONE!

It’s been a few days now, actually an entire week, but I’m done! I’ve finished my studies at NTNU and is now a Master of Science :)

I’m currently staying at my parent’s, relaxing, playing golf and beachvolley! Moving was completed in two days, including driving from Skien to Trondheim and back (10h each way). I was pretty exhausted after moving all my stuff.

I’ve found myself an appartment in Oslo, I’m going to live with Torbjørn. I think it’ll be great. The exact details haven’t been worked out yet, so more info to come.

I’m trying to play as much golf as possible, since I’m leaving for Wales and South Africa in less than a week. That will be great! Looking forward to that!

THE CHANGE WE NEED

Sara invited Andreas and me over for dinner. We brought wine and some Cubans. Thank you Sara, it was a change of pace we definitely needed!

PLAYING WITH NATURE

YOU CAN DO IT!

It’s all about writing those lines. That’s what I’m going for.

MEMORIES

… from better times. I’m utterly sick and tired of writing, polishing and rewriting on my thesis.

SENTENCES YOU WILL …

… probably never read in a published article. I’m not exactly going for a Ph.D., but I’ve been reading a lot of articles the past months, so I found this one from PHD Comics quite nice:

LONG WORKDAYS

The past weeks, the past month actually, it’s been long days and not much fun going on. I’m currently having a break and tried out the Polarize app for iPhone. So, here’s the photo. It represents my life at the moment.

NEGLSPRETTEN

Christoffer and me in the Quarter finals (Photo by: haakseth)

Yesterday, the first beachvolley tournament of the year was held in Dødens dal (Valley of death), here in Trondheim. The weather was good and plenty of participants were eager to kick-start the season.

I participated with Christoffer from my volleyball team, and we both had a great day, despite some drops of rain in the afternoon. We got through to the quarter finals, but met strong competition against the tournament winners. However, we did win the first set, which proves that we can be quite good when we don’t think too much and do everything right!

SOMETHING STUPID …

Assassin's Creed II for PS3!

Yesterday, I bought Assassin’s Creed II for PS3. Probably not the best idea considering that my plan this Easter was to work well on my thesis project. That is of course still the plan, just a bit harder to complete?

Assassin’s Creed II is a marvelous game. Man, it’s great. Fantastic graphics and enjoyable gameplay. Andreas and I spent most of Saturday afternoon and night playing. Even this morning, I spent 4 hours in Renaissance Italy.

The only downside is that it was expensive (less money for food this Easter), that I actually do not own a PS3 console, and surely, that I will have a harder time staying in school. That’s actually quite a few sides pointing down … Uhm. No need to panic, all I need to do is keep my dicipline straight and stick to my “work efficiently during Easter plan“.

Good plan.
