Pernille's Little World

Finally we're here in Uppsala! (We = Madeleine, Silje and me). Luckily there was Internet on our room. We share this classroom with someone from Finland (or something..)

But I think I'm going to start with the beginning of the day.



I woke up about 8 o'clock this morning. First I took a loooong shower. I think that's because I'm not going to school today, and I just had to have the "not-going-to-school"-feeling xD Then I packed the last piece, and I was finished packing.


Then mum and I drove to Madeleine. And Jan, Madeleines father drove us to Uppsala, and he used our car ( the Hyundai). It went pretty well! We leaved Madeleines house around 11 am and arrived in Uppsala 6 pm. Jan is very kind ^^ But I forgot to change my Norwegian money to Swedish, soo.. When we paid for dormitories I had to use my card.. And I remembered my code! Yey! ^^




















Silje and Madeleine in the car


The meeting who started 7 pm was awesome! ^^ Aaron Jayne preached. He was cool :P


After the meeting we met Joonas and Pille-Riin and the others ^^ So nice ^^


Tomorrow we have to get up at 7.30 am, because we have to be ready for breakfast :)

For some days now I've been home from school. But this morning mom said I had to go to school, because I'm not that ill today. Yesterday I had a fever and didn't feel very well.

But since I didn't want to go today, this morning didn't start very well. First I overslept and than I had a fight with my mother. And this bad mood influenced the rest of my family.
Because of the bad weather I couldn't drive my bike today. That made me even more angry. So in our little car mom had to drive me to school and my sister and brother. I came late to school, my brother and sister came late to school, and my mother came late to work.

Right now I have a little bad conscience, because the last thing I said to my sister when I got out of the car was "din lille fitte, ikke tro at du er den eneste som er stressa her" which means something like; "you little slut, don't think you are the only one that is stressed here"..

Actually, after the Estonian trip, me and my sister finally became friends. I don't want this to ruin our relationship.. But in a way, I don't want to apologize. Why? Why is it so hard to say "sorry, I didn't mean to say that"? And my mother also became more angry when I said that.. Sometimes I feel like mom and dad don't understands me at all.. It's like they always take sides with Benedicte. The reason I think that is because I feel sorry for my self right now.. How pity..

















Benedicte & me in Estonia




Like this wasn't enough I forgot my English-book. PERFECT!

And; I just got to know that dad is going to Estonia tonight. And you know what? Just some miles from where we use to be with The Zone.. He he . . .

This week started with a test in Science. It wasn't that difficult.. Hope it went well :)

Now we have English. Our teacher just said that she sold her sister when they were together in London for 1000 pounds. In the middle of the trip they went out of money. They were young and when they met a businessman from Egypt in a bar, they knew: this was the chance! So they asked this man if he wanted to marry my teachers sister for 1000 pounds. And he said yes! So they took the money and then they ran. xD Clever way to make some money. xD

And I also have to help mom out at work today. But this time I shall only be there for three hours.

Today I drove a scooter for the first time. Actually, I hate scooters! So this is a little weird.. I promised myself to never sit on a scooter, ever! But.. For some reason, I asked to try it! Maybe it's because it was so extremely ugly? (Not nice of me to say, because the one who owns the scooter is my friend). I don't even know if I can call it a scooter. Well, it looked like a scooter, but it was really small and somehow it reminded me of a mosquito! And when i drove it, it was like driving a little inconstant grass cutter on two wheels over a suspension bridge. Terrible! Can't imagine how it would be to drive it for more than two kilometres!
But though.. (I'm sad to say it), it was kind of fun to!

I have to say this; even if I thought it was fun, I will never, and don't misunderstand me: never, get myself a scooter! I still think they're ugly, and if someone says the ugly word scooter (that I've been using a lot in this text), I will ask them to not swear. Because to me, to say scooter is the same as swearing! So when I'm finish with this post, I have to clean myself and ask for forgiveness. Cause in this contribution I've been swearing a lot.

Today when I got to school, the first thing I see is a desperate Madeleine: "I need an English book" she shouted. "I have a test". (Okay, she wasn't that desperate, and she didn't shout, I just like to be little dramatic, since I need the book myself). So now I haven't got any book. But I borrowed another book so it's okay.

Now we read "Snow". It's a book about a girl named Yolanda. She is an immigrant and have just began in a Catholic school in New York. And it's in the middle of the Cuba crisis, so everyone is worried. And Yolanda has never seen snow before, so she thought is was dust from a bomb.




This is my English book by the way:

This morning I had a test in social studies. There weren't too difficult questions, so I think I did pretty well.. I hope so :D Even though I didn't practice before the test.. I was in Oslo yesterday and forgot my book. But the politics we are learning about in school aren't that hard, so I think it's gonna be okay :P

I'm sooo hungry! And I know that this is a very weird thing to write about in a blog.. I want to write about something, but I can't think of anything because I'm so hungry! And it's over two hours until lunch break! :S

Have to pay attention to the teacher.. Norwegian lesson.. =_0

I promised mom to help her out at work today. Have been here for one hour or so, and I'm already bored. And here I'm going to stay until twelve o'clock tonight.. Fortunately there is a wireless network some place around here so I can be on Internet. (Lets just hope the one who owns the network not finds out that I'm using it).

But I don't want to be so negative! So I'm going to write about some other stuff. 'cause today was the first time I went with the bus in High school! And I think it is the first time after I got the drivers licence that I'm not driving at school. Soon I have to take the bus, because (hopefully) there will be snow on the ground, and too cold to drive. But that time, that sorrow. Now I'm being negative again!

Hmm.. I have no more to write right now.. So.. xD

I love this game!

I'm at school, and now we have English lesson. Actually, this is an interesting and, believe it or not, funny lesson! We are watching parodies of Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet. And that's pretty much it! xD So we're just sitting here and enjoy short movies on Youtube about folks who make fun of Romeo and Juliet and of course; Shakespeare.

Here is one of the videos:

When I came to school this morning I was very confused.. First I thought that I was one hour late, but my classroom was closed and non of my classmates were here. And than I found out: We have the two first lessons free today, so I'm one hour early. I have to sit here one hour and do nothing!

But now comes my Norwegian teacher.. oops.. :S I don't have books! Because I have no money right now. The Norwegian-book cost 500 NOK, and I don't have them.. :S

From now on I'm going to be (or try to act like) a real blogger. And I'm not going to write things that have no connection. So! I'm going to start the new blogger me, with explain the Estonian trip. (Though I can't remember very much..)

So here it comes;

Friday 26/09/08
Madeleine and I woke up at 6 am and around 8 am we arrived at Filadelfia. And finally we could take our seats in the bus. Lucky for me I got two seats for myself :D
The boat left from Stockholm at 6 pm or something. (I don't remember)
And.. that's all the "interesting" what happened that day.


Saturday 27/09/08
We arrived in Tallinn around 10 am (Estonian time). Benedicte (my clumsy sister) didn't find her cellphone, but fortunately someone on the boat found it at turn it in. But my dad had to go and get it in the boat. So while he went all the way from were we sat in the bus into the boat again, Preben, Stig and Madelene found out that they in the meantime could collect some money. So they sat down outside the bus and started to sing and play the guitar. And; they actually got some money! Believe it or not!
We spent some til in Tallinn before we went to the church. There we perform our stuff. And the Estonian guys also performed some songs. But before that we had a football match. I was satisfied to watch. It ended like this: Norway 3- Estonia 5. But next time WE will win ;)
After that we went to the place we were staying.

Sunday 28/09/08
This day we performed at the church again, but this time it was for the whole community, not just the youths. Madeleine and I started to cry, because we were so proud of Benedicte. She is very frighten of being on stage, but now she actually smiled and danced perfect! And that's what I had praid for! That Benedicte would enjoy to perform in Estonia! :)
Today we also talked to "that guy" and "that guy 2" (Kaarel and Joonas). I became "that girl" and Madeleine "that thing" xD We also talked to some other girls and boys, but most with Kaarel and Joonas. (Or.. Madeleine talked the most xD)

Monday 29/09/08
From early in the morning until noon, we helped out clean Savikoti. It was here we stayed the first year we went here with The Zone. It was dirty! You could write in the dirt on the wall! But when we finished, it looked exceptionally xD Next year I want to do a renovation. ^.^
After we finished, we went home to were we stayed were we jumped in the shower before we went to the church again. This was the first time they had a party for people who had given their life to God. Now we became even closer friends with the Estonian guys. And when we left they didn't want us to go. They also gave everyone a real hug. Awwww, I love those people! Didn't want to go! We also got their MSN-address and phone number.


Tuesday 30/09/08
Time to go home.. But before that we went to a school and did our performance. We had half an hour to disposal. You know what? The atheist principal loved our show and kept say; "one more song, can you play one more song?" We used around an hour, and they want us to come back next year! Awesome! ^^
And! Kaarel and Joonas came! On Joonas' bike! He drives a Honda 500, custom made (by Joonas himself) ;) They wanted to see us one more time before we left, and gave us escort when we left the school. And some of the guys are going to Uppsala in October! I want to go there! ^^

Before we went to the boat we stopped at the big shopping centre in Tallinn were we ate pizza and bought some stuff.
It was really fun at the boat. We sang karaoke and danced in the disco.

Simon also got his driver licence today! Finally! xD Well done, Simon xD

Wednesday 01/10/08
We arrived in Sweden. The bustrip home took 8 hours.. -.-' But I slept most of the way, and we ate in McDonalds :D
It was nice to see mom again. She picked us up outside Filadelfia around 6 pm.

Well.. No I'm home from Estonia. Why do this kind of trips go so fast? Want to go back again.. But my friend Madeleine and me are maby going back to the summer =D



But it's kind of weird.. This is the fourth time we were in Estonia, and three of the years we have been there with The Zone (A christian youthclub). And this year was the first time we got to know some of the people there! So now I want to go back!



Hopefully I will meet two of the boys o the youth conference in Uppsala later this month..

"Dear God, please do so mom and dad let me go there! Not only to
see my new friends, but also to hear about your name! Amen"
