Coming back

Returning to university was very hard this time around. Mamma says that my brother and I are allergic to studiestart because we both got sick-ish (he had a cold — actually sick, I was just nauseous a lot). But this weekend I went home for my aunt’s (byob) wedding. Being away/being with the fam and friends did something to me. It was so helpful. I also found time to do something I hadn’t done in ages, that I was longing to do, and when I did it I felt the knots in my mind straighten out. I’m so grateful for this weekend, and I’m grateful for a lot of things I have going on here too. Grateful for the univeristy job that starts on Thursday, altough I’m pretty nervous about it. I’m really grateful for my language student. I have had so much fun getting to know him. I can’t believe he and his family named their new car after me. And I’m grateful I discovered (rediscovered?) how fun teaching is. I hope I can do somehting teaching-adjacent in the future.

Today’s plan: final training for uni job, first Criminal Law seminar, a call, and then see an old friend (my friend? I don’t know. Friend of my ex-roommate) in the evening. A lot of the time things are just go-go-go and I cannot really stop much. Especially because I have taken upon myself some outside-of-what-I-strictly-speaking-have-to-do ambitions. Last week it felt like it was too much. But this week it feels meaningful. I have hope. And I’d much rather be busy than idle.

Picture: after my aunt’s wedding, I met up with an old friend. We walked around Frogner and it is so beautiful there. Some of the loveliest views where things I had never seen before. To think that there are new things to discover, so close to home.

This was written from approximately 07:45 to 08:00 in the morning. I’ll have to get ready for the day now.
