Don't fret at Londonmet

Hello there,
So another 2 days has passed. I went ot the social event thing yesterday, it was quite okey. Got to talk to a postgrad girl from Hungaria and then I met the girl from the European seminar this summar. There were food and drinks and that was basically it. It was a'ight. XD

Today I've been to the inductory session for journalism and I just had to say wooow. It was so different from the laid back-here's the information session for fashion marketing.
First of all we all met in this huge lecture room and then got divided into our course group, as of deja vu when he called out Journalism like 50% of the people in room stood up. I was like soooo, I chose pretty popular stuff huh. XD But being in that session for journalism was like being in another world, the people is totally different. There were no blonde girls giggling or metal sounds from bracelets, people seemed really serious. And oh I came to figure that out!

The lecturer (prof. or whatever) talked for like 3 minutes about the course and then the next hour she actually made interact in class, asking questions, made us brainstorm and gave us an assingment. The first thing that made my heart beat faster and faster was that she asked us, what kind of journalism there were. And after a split second several people raised there hands, and it seemed to like everyone knew everything while I could nothing. She then took out 4 news papers (the guardian, the sun, daily mail and the mirror) and she told us to, in pairs, write down the characteristics for each of them. I was like; seriously?! I had no idea, it's not like I read the British papers everyday, so I turn to guy next to me. Which turns out to be Mr-know-it-all. However he explained to me the differences and was all like "ha-ha hope she doesn't ask you". I felt so out of place, how will I survive this?

She aksed us later what we had written and luckily quite a few people raised their hands. After each statement she asked us more about the papers like what kind of politcal view do they have and like, Who is this? (on the front page) and EVERYONE goes Gordon Browns wife. (I was like omg I never seen the woman in my entire life!) And when a girl answered wrong on which political wing the guardian was Mr-know-it-all had to shout out the right answer. Awesome I know.
Then as a final thing she asked us to (still in pairs) write a front page headline for the Sun. Two seconds later mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline, and I was like omg I can't do this. But I don't know what got into me the next moment but I actually came up with one, Don't fret at Londonmet. And when Mr-know-it-all saw it he was all like "That's really good". And then the horror continues when she asked from person to person what headline they had come up with, she then wrote them on the white board for us to later vote for the best on. (Heart skips 2 beat)

I felt a bit calmer though when she started fromt he other end and when I heard some less good headlines. Don't get me wrong most of them were really good, but I just felt really relieved. When it was our turn Mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline of his own and after he said it he was like but we got a better one and then pointed at me. I was like thank you for the patronizing. Anyway so after that assignment she let us go. (Freshers' pressure won btw) I was like stumbling out of the room as fast as I could. OMG, that's all I thought OMG.

But I'm kinda good with it now, I just have to study harder and read newspapers. XD Then later on it was time for enrolment, in which I heard the staffmember trying to pronounce Slutbetyg and then got my student ID card, and that's it. Now I'm gonna go make dinner and eat, ciao!

First day of school

Hellu,
So I thought you guys wanted to know about my very first day in school. Although it wasn't quite that interesting.

I got up around 8 and the first session was 10 o'clock. Haha I don't usually take that long to prepare but I had to make sandwiches to take with me and I had to take a shower before I went. I realized I've been kinda slow after the long summer break, with eating and dressing. XD
Anyway I got to school, knowing exactly where it was, asked the "helping people" were the room was and went in. To my delight the interior was kinda fresh and nice unlike the exterior. XD
When I came into the room there already people there, the only thought I had in my mind were, be invisible. Don't stare at people and you don't know if they stare at you. XD I quickly found a place to sit, luckily because like 5 minutes later it was fully crowded and some people couldn't even get into the room.

By some freakin' weird coincidence when I sat down, I heard the two girls next to me speaking in a language very similar to a language I knew very well. Maybe they were speaking norwegian, no they spoke SWEDISH! I immediatelly asked them in Swedish if they were from Sweden. And then it rolled on. I felt so relieved that I found Swedish people in my class.
The session started eventually and some costume dude welcomed us to the school and so on. Then for the next part we were gonna break up to the courses we were on. So I got "stuck" with like 40 flanellshirted girls for the Fashion marketing introduction session. Turned out 19 of them were gonna do Fashion marketing and journalism (which was I'm doing), so it wasn't that bad.

After the session we got like an assignment to do in groups. Like walk through the neighbourhood to get the "Neighbourhood profile". XD So me and one of the Swedish girls went down there, sat on Starbucks, walked a bit more. It was nice, she had been in London for 4 years and knew like all the places so I got to know a couple of things. :)

That was basically it. Tomorrow I'm gonig to this social event thing for London met busniess school students. It might be fun or it might be suicide, we'll see. XD

Heroes is back in town.

Hi there,
Must tell you that the internet I have here is really slow, it's not even 1 mb/sec. So like a 4 minute video on Youtube takes me like an hour to upload, but to my surprise however uploading series (megavideo,divx,vureel etc) doesn't take that much time, I mean compared to the time it took me at home. Which I'm really really thankful for, cuz now I can catch up all of the shows I watch.

I kinda lost interest in Heroes after the fourth season. I didn't even cared to find out if they were doing a new season. Then out of nowhere my friend told me, last week, she'd watched the trailer to the fifth season. I was like Oh so they still make the show. XD With basically nothing better to do I started to upload the first episode, actually the second too since it was a double episode.

So after I seen it now I really hope that the producers and writers have pulled themselves together and made this a good sustainable season. Because I like Heroes I really do, I want it to be good again. So to my delight the season opening seemed very promising.

Caution next part may contain spoilers.

It's nice seeing Claire in school again. She got a new haircut and I really liked it, I'm so over her wigs from season 3 and 4. XD Just have to say PSSYYCCCHHOOO roomate! XD
I don't think I've ever shipped any relationships in heroes, but I totally do now with Ando and Kimiko (well maybe Mohinder and Eden from s1). Yeay! :D And finally they got rid of that scumbag Denko! XD

Can honestly say I really look forward for tomorrow's episode "Ink". Mohinder is gonna be in it and I can't wait to get to know those creepy circus people more. Haha.

Flatmating

Haya,
Wow, I've been in London for almost a whole week now. Crazy. I've been alone in London almost 4 days now. Crazy.

I haven't been up to much since doesn't quite know people around here. I've talked to my flatmates for a bit and they seem very nice. I originally have 4 flatmates but one of them moved out, so as far as I know, there are 2 chinese girls and a japanese guy in my flat. "Oooh, chinese girls you're lucky" you might think but not really they're from Beijing and speaks mandarin. Since I hardly speak any mandarin it's even difficult understanding them sometimes. They've been friends even before they came to London, so I find it a bit difficult to get to know them. I mean they're basically together all the time and only speaks mandarin with each other. But I'll figure something out, I hope. :P

The japanese guy is really quiet, I hadn't heard/seen a glimpse of him in 2 days and he could might as well been kidnapped or something, but I saw him in the stairs today so it's all good. XD There were also this guy from Camroon but he changed room as said.

They're all older than me, the japanese guy is 26 and the girls are 20. The funny thing however is that I'm the only one who cooks and uses the kitchen. Really, I'm like the only one who has food in the kitchen and kitchen supplies in the cupboards. So basically I can't hope to bump into them in the kitchen, because they're never there. XD

So anyway apart from that, school will start in 2 days. I'm actually kinda nervous. I'm afraid I won't like the school or that the course is too hard. Agony! XD

London Metropolitan University, the Tower Building and Graduate centre.

Stapleton House, London Met business department. In other words, this is where I'll be next Monday on. XD

Europe Music Awards

Zup,
Just a quick update about this year MTV Europe Music awards. It's gonna be held in Berlin the 5th November. The voting has started and I can gladly announce that Jonas Brothers are nominated as Best Group. The chances of winning however aren't that high (they're up against Black eye peas, Green day, Kings of leon and Tokio hotel) I'd say but it's nice voting for them anyway. :D

So keep clicking that vote button!

The big game is on

Toodles,

So now I've been living here for 3 days. I'm very much settled in and thank god for that. I know the neighbourhood, where to buy cheap food, how to get to school etc. I have all the kitchen/bathroom supplies I need and food in the fridge, so I'm all good. My dad leaves tomorrow so the big game's ON!

I felt I missed home, my guitar, the TV and so on the second day here but I think most of it has gone. I'll probably do after my dad leaves but I strongly thinks it won't be that bad. I've got most of things sorted out by now, the rent, the jackass indian music, washing and so on. Feels safe. XD Just have to deal with the social thing now.

My dad and I went to the city today. Oxford street and China town. It was nice, finally felt that I was actually IN London, like the real London. XD Real London is good London.

China Town all prepped for Mid-autumn festival.
