Typhooooon!

It hit japan last night, and we were all glued to our respective tv's, and facebook was being spammed by classmates hoping it would hit Togane (though not too hard) so we'd get to experience, and so that school would be closed on Thursday :P And certainly the weather turned bad on Wednesday. Strong winds and heavy rain, it was really fun looking through the window, since we're not used to weather of this magnitude in Norway. At about 1.30 am I decided achool was almost certainly going to get closed, so I went to bed listening to the rain hitting the window, feeling both excited and just a little bit nerveous.

However, I woke up a little past 7 am (who knows why, since I wasn't supposed to get up for another 30 minutes), opened the shutterthingy in front of the window....and got hit by blinding sunlight and nice summer temperature. I was so shocked and disappointed I felt like crying xD I was hoping to be able to sleep in, and found out that Togane was all Disney outside. When I got out of the shower, however, the weather had changed. The winds were picking up, and I looked at he news and saw that though the center of the storm was going to miss Togane, it really hadn't arrived in these parts yet. Another 30 minutes later and it started raining heavily, and the wind was blowing very strong. I was still not sure if school would be cancelled, so I went over to Karianne and together with the boys we stood staring up at the sky, testing how bad it was. And 10 minutes later the others were called up by teachers saying school would be closed :D I was so happy! I ran back inside to watch the news, but soon I was curled up nice and warm in my bed again.

When I woke up I turned on the computer, planning to happily catch up on e-mails and blog, and maybe find some pictures to post. However, the second I tried to click anything after it booted, the laptop froze up, and I couldn't get it working again. I was so frustrated, since I managed to get my internet like 2 days ago, and now I was getting worried I'd have to scrape up money for a new laptop (or spend the rest of my time here at Joy Club). But the MaiDream team pulled together, and now my computer works again! Turns out it had so many running processes the CPU was 2 seconds away from hanging itself from the ceiling. Yes, I'm looking at you Erik :P It also turned out to have several keyloggers and spyware and a trojan, so a big part of the day went into locating and removing all the little anomalies. But it should be fine now, and the laptop should now be a technological equivalent of Alcatraz.

At 7 am Joakim and Lorenzo and I went out to eat dinner somewhere, sick of spending the day inside. We happened upon this little place that looked sort of run down, but man, the meat they served there is just delicious. More than delicious even; all three of us went into a shared moment of culinary bliss. We even ordered seconds, just because the food was so good. I don't know how they get their meat this good, but I'm contemplating bringing a cow with me whe I go back home to Norway.

Now I just came back from Karianne's, where she and Bjørn and I had a glass of wine and took turns messing about with Karianne's hoolahoop. The damn thing is huuuuuge! It reaches me almost to the shoulders! And it weighs a ton, so I'll probably be back and blue all around the waist tomorrow.

At school tomorrow we'll get to have two tests, since school was closed today, but I feel like I've studied enough. We'll see once the tests start though, since alot has a tendency to go out the window when I need it the most :P Anyway, just one more day, and then weekend!

Now I'm off to bed :) Oyasumi!
