update...(what a bad headline)

I feel that every time I write something in this blog, it starts out like: ”long time, no write”…kind off…but yeah, it is a long time since I have written, and that is even thought a lot has happened since last time I wrote.
I just finished a okay book by a Danish UWC graduate (86 AC), he decided to row across the Atlantic. He spent 56 days doing that only with another man in the boat. I’m sure that you are asking, WTF! And you will never guess the reason…..he wanted MORE Chinese people at UWC, and that is why he did it. To fundraise scholarships to Chinese. Another little note to this story is that John L. is mention in it!

I have been working the last couple of days as a “substitute teacher”, damn, I really don’t like kids anymore. I am pretty sure that I will never become a teacher for anyone below the age of 16. I almost killed one of my students today….but he deserved it.
I went with Louise to visit Negar in Malmø yesterday, its great fun to meet people after a year away from UWC. I am actually really surprised how fast people mature (compare to how little they did at the college). Negar has started to speak with a British accent and likes to live in London. Louise got a job as a postman…eh postWOman, (sorry angie). We also met up with Max and AK….. UWC will always be there, in some way or another.

The big story of this week, is the trip we had back to the college. Operation Flekke Storm took place 2 weeks ago, and I spent 5 days at the college. I must admit that I expected a lot more from the trip, nevertheless, I still had a okay time there, and it was nice to talk with my first years again. All of them has changed (or is it me?!?), and the college is still a crap place, an English boarding school…what more can I say?
It was funny to see ten of the co-years again, but I also felt that everyone was confused how they should be. Should one be “Mr. X” before May 2005 or “Mr. X” after may 2005. However, in the end we all ended up having great fun.
I think this will be my last visit to the college, but I said that last time as well, so I won’t promise anything.

I got a letter today from the place where I would love to study “photo-journalism”, the only problem is just that you have to do so many fucking tests, for example writing, picture, knowledge tests etc. I have to send in 5 photos about the topic “WOMEN CAN!”, and one portrait photo before I can even go to the tests. I have decided to forget everything about the other universities that I have applied for in Denmark. Next year…Next year…..inshallah.
