Maths day

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

No, I’m not joking. As I mentioned yesterday, I have to study the construction of perspective in art for one of my classes this semester, and as a person who’s not had a single maths class for nearly 8 years, I’m struggling. It really helps to know that I’m construction pictures though, and not just doing random maths. It’s super-super basic, thank god, and relying heavily on the renaissance Italians’ love for tile floors. Thank god for tile floors! If it weren’t for them, I’d be screwed.

See what I mean? Try not to laugh yourself silly if you’re an actual mathematician, I know this is usually regarded as child’s play. It’s not to me, damn it!

(Yes, Maren and Eli Sofie, I’m talking about you two)

I’m getting there though – I just have to get over my mental maths-block. I always hated maths. The abstract kind, mind you, I’m good with money and I think I’ll be able to do this pretty well too. Fingers crossed!

Maths fuel. Mmm ,caffeine.

So that’s basically what I’ll be doing today. I refuse to leave my desk till I get the hang of this!

In other news, I’ve decided to retire my old chucks.

It’s about time, don’t you think?

One of those days..

Monday, March 30th, 2009

.. Where you know you should be sitting down, studying the mathematical theories of perspective in painting, but what you really want to do is run out, buy a bag full of white wool tights, and paint on them. Birds and words and vines and cracks!

I’m broke though. I’ll have to wait for my next paycheck.

Don’t steal my idea while I wait!

For more photos, visit my flickr!

I had a great time, despite the 45 minute walk to get there – in bitting cold! All so worth it – I ended up with over 300 photos in the end.

But now we’re home again, and the boyfriend and I are cleaning the apartment. I’m going to cook dinner later and we’ll watch a movie or two – have a perfect lazy Sunday :)

Karmic balance

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I just remembered how I a few days ago read a blog where a girl had posted a picture of herself as a toddler – a very serious looking toddler. And a miiight have said she looked like a gnome. A little bit. A very cute gnome.

Anyway, I thought I’d better make amends before karma bites my ass, so here we go:

Me as a toddler. Cute, blonde, small. I’ve got diaper-butt and I’m learning to brush my teeth.

Now, fast forward a few years…

This, my friends, is me, age 12. It took 5 years of wearing braces to fix those teeth, the hair took years to grow back out, and I’m still giving my mom a hard time about the clothes and the hair gel.

The best part? This is a from a professional family photoshoot. Oh yes: This hangs in my parents’ livingroom, in large format. Every time I bring new friends over, they piss themselves laughing.

Karma – you better be satisifed ;)

Saturday night ramble

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Today I’ve been at work, mainly. Wore painful shoes, and by the end of the day my feet and back ached sooo badly, I could hardly concentrate. Forgot to bring a normal shirt, so I had to walk around in my work uniform after, when I went to meet Marius for a bit of window shopping. Not a lot of window shopping was done, I’ll admit – after he bought a new mouse for his PC, I turned into a whiny monster and basically forced the poor boy into buying me Chinese food. I can’t help it, nothing messes me up like hunger! My parents will testify to this – they often say things like “Maja was the happiest child you ever met! … Except if dinner was late.” I’d be a terrible anorexic.

I’m at home now though, well fed and with my feet up on the sofa. I even have a chocolate orange!

I’ve been tagging myself backwards in time again for the last few days, reading through old blog posts and trying to apply a tag that somewhat fits. It’s a learning experience – first of all, I’m embrarassed by how many times I have to tag a post with the word “Whine”. But it’s also weird in a way that I’m basically tracking my life backwards, and the further away I get, the less I recognise the myself in what I’ve written. I had no idea how much I’ve changed – I think, if I met 18 year old Maja today, I would think of her as an insecure, immature girl who doesn’t know how to set priorities. It’s strange, but I quite enjoy realizing that I’m older and that I’ve changed. I’ll never be one of those persons who go “Oh, to be a teenager again!”

Also, my grammar was atrocious and my posts uninteresting – I quite like realizing that I’ve become a better blogger!

I know I know, boring pictureless post today – if things go according to plan, tomrrow’s post will be a photo bonanza :)
