Fragile Secrets

Long time no see!

Hey guys! I’m done with my exams and summer is finally here! Well, the calendar says it’s summer, but when I look out the window it looks more like winter to me, it’s pouring down… Oh well, hopefully I’ll get a couple of days of sun this summer…
My exams when ok, I’ve gotten B’s and C’s one D, lmao In macroeconomics, but I’ll do that exam over again, I thought I would fail, so a D is ok, lol I have no plans for this summer, I’ll be working and trying to find a new place to live, which is what I’ll do when I’m done writing this blog, go check the ads for apartments online. It’s insanely expensive though, so I’m gonna have to get a part time job. But I feel ready for working again, I didn’t work this year, I have no idea how I managed living on 6000 kr (about $1200) a month, with rent of 3400… And now that I’ll be living alone I’m probably gonna have to pay 5000 in rent… Oh well, two more years and I’ll have my bachelor and make a whole lot of money! (lmao, I wish)
I don’t really have more to tell you at this moment, I’m staying with my mom and she doesn’t have internet, which is why I haven’t been able to blog sooner, but she has now ordered it and it should be set up in about three weeks, about time mom! I’m actually at my grandma’s house now, they have interet, lol

Yes, I like jewelry

Isn’t it unfair how it’s so much easier for guys to buy a present for the girl than the other way around? I mean, jewelry is always a winner. I got my boy to buy me a beautiful necklace in white gold for Christmas
But, who says you have to have a man to get jewelry? We’re women of the 21st century; we can buy our own jewelry if we want! So check out this site, my jewelry box, they have some really gorgeous stuff, like the diamond earrings they offer. Just looking at them makes me drool! But the great thing is they also have gorgeous jewelry for under $100, like the diamond earrings in this picture are so pretty and cost only $89 (note for my boy; my birthday is in 8 days!). They also offer free FedEx if you buy for more than $99, free gift packing (maybe you find a perfect gift for your mom, girlfriend or boyfriend?) and 30 day returns.
Since I am a pretty broke student I don’t really buy jewelry too often, so I don’t really know much about the 4 c’s of diamonds; color, clarity, cut or carat. Or much about other gemstones, different metals or what the right care for my jewelry is, but you don’t have to worry about that either, my jewelry box offers education at their site! They also have something called bargain of the week, an item with a special price for this week only, right now the offer is a really cool stainless steel bracelet for men. So as you can see they also offer things for men, not just the sparkly things for us girls
In addition to rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and necklaces they also offer engagement rings, you can choose to sort the rings by number of stones, different cuts and price. I have already decided what my engagement ring will be, I seriously fell in love with that heart shaped one.

I held a snake!

I am scared of snakes, not as much as spiders (even looking at the word gives me the creepes), and for an audition video I had to hold a snake!! And I did it!! Can you believe it?! I am so proud of my self! It took me two hours from when I entered the place until I left and had held the snake. And I had some breakes in those two hours as well, when the snake lady had to go feed the penguins for about a half hour, and then I went and looked at that. So I had a little under 1,5 hours with the snake and it ended up with me holding it. I started standing 2 meters away from it barely daring to look, then barely touching with my fingertip, and in the end I held it, I am so proud!!
It was scary as hell, and when I left I was so exhausted from all the adrenaline, but I have now done it, and I’m not as scared of snakes as I used to be

In other news, I’m almost done with my exams, I’ve had four now, my first about three weeks ago, two more to go on Monday and Wednesday. So in one week I will be done with my first semester!!! I cannot wait for it to be over, I am so exhausted right now, I need a vacation… My upcoming exams are economics (Monday) and statistics (Wednesday), I have no idea how they’ll go, right now I’m thinking they might go ok. But I’m pretty sure the day before I’ll be 100% sure I’ll fail, but that’s just how I am, I have terrible nerves before my exams.

I’ll see you in one week when it’s all over!
