Proud and tired

It's hard trying to be a good student, but damn it feels good. I get these  epiphanies sometimes, and I wish it stuck. But it's hard being a good student when it's so easy not to be. I hope it sticks this time, because I do feel really proud of my self. Proud and tired.

Knitting and writing

So, the last couple of days have been spent doing pretty much nothing else than writing by bachelor. And a bit of Modern family and knitting every now and then, to relax. But it's only a couple of days left, and then I'm free! At least for a couple of months...

Summer in the city.

Trondhiem does not have the best weather in the world. Or actually when it's good, it's really good, but the weather is usually not that good. But it's been absolutely wonderful the last couple of days. Even though I've had to study for my exams(last one tomorrow!), I just couldn't help my self, I had to get out end enjoy the weather. Luckily I found the perfect spot where I could soak up the sun all without any interruptions. Only me and my not so interesting book.

After roasting my self for a while in the sun i went inside and made my self a smashing good green lunch. Green apples, kiwi and vanilla yoghurt. YUM! I love it when you have great mealt like that, and you realise that it's actually really healthy as well.

Modcloth dress love

I'm in the middle of a really hectic period right now, and most of my time goes to either taking an exam or studying for one. But I wanted to show you some of my favourite dresses from Modcloth which I drool over about every time I take a brake from my studies. I long for sunny days(which we actually have in Norway right now, but I don't get much enjoyment of it when I have to sit inside and read), spare time, and sitting in a park, or walking down the street in one of these beautiful dresses. Lovelovelove!

Istedgade Hipster Ale

One of my best friends and I, found a little time to spend together tonight, and it was so nice to hang out again. Eating cupcakes, drinking good beer and being with good friends is not bad, specially in a month filled with an overload of studying and exams.
The beer we drank was Istedgade Hipster Ale from Evil Twin brewery. A really good American Pale Ale! I actually bought it in Istedgade in Copenhagen this Easter, and the beer is made as a tribute to the street and the beer shop at Istedgade 44. It's a really fruity ale, and I wish I had much more of it! Recommended!

Creative days

I haven't been writing in a while now. I'm just in the middle of reading for my exams! Well, actually my exams started today, and it will keep on to the end of the month. But I do have some fun projects on the way as well. It's funny how creative you get during this period of the year. You know you have to study, and suddenly cleaning and dusting sounds fun. Today I ended up vacuuming my room, cleaning my desk and rearrange my desk completely. Now at least I have a clean big space to study at tomorrow.

Do you have a favourite beer?

I have to get better at publishing posts on this blog. So, that's what I'm trying to do today.
I want to show you some of what I did in Copenhagen this Easter. Denmark is one of the worlds biggest exporters of beer, and there is no doubt that the danish loves their beer. And so do I. Denmark is mostly known for Carlsberg and Tuborg, but that's not really of any interest to me. Because Denmark is so much more the those boring mass produced pilsners and light lagers.
Denmark has many different micro breweries, and some of the best beers in the world. My two favourites it Mikkeller and Evil Twin(which is actually run by the twin brother of one of the founders of Mikkeller). For my boyfriend visiting Mikkeller bar was without a doubt the highlight of the trip to Copenhagen. And I think the same goes for me. Not only is the venue really cool, and the bartenders really nice. They also have really really good beer. Besides having many of their own brews both on tap and bottle, they also had beer from different breweries all over the world, including Nøgne Ø from Norway. The thing I loved most about Mikkeller bar was that the beer was served in 2dl glasses, which made it possible to taste many different beers without getting disgustingly drunk. Having the beer in smaller glasses, in stead of gigantic mugs, also makes it look better and it just enhances the feeling and experience of the beer.

But we didn't just drink beer. We also went shopping for beer. The reason for that is that you don't have that good a selection of beer in Norway, and its usually much more expencive as well. I really would suggest to all to try and experience different styles of beer. There is so many different styles and tastes out there. And I can promise you that you'll find something you like!
