Spring is in the air

Spring is on its way. Suddenly the temprature went up to 15 degrees or something like that. After a loooong cold period. I am hoping this will stay like this. Need to do my essay...have nothing to say even though many things have happened, nothing memorable since I have forgotten everything. I dont know why I am writing this....I will hopefully have more to say next time....wow...this is one pathetic blog entry. Weather...essay....nothing. Ahh to hell with it.

Manchester United game

Me and Freyja just popped over to Manchester to see my heros in Man Utd beat Newcastle 2-0. Wayne Rooney with both goals. Man Utd should have slaughtered them, but missed so many open chances it was incredible. We had seets on the 4th row from the touchline, in line wiht the penalty box half ring. Great seats. All the subs did their warm ups just infront of us. And we saw the action live from close range. The funny part is to see a football game and know all the faces from tv. It is somewhat strange, because it almost feels like you know the players. And Ronaldo is alot taller than he looks. Rooney is actually slim :) The interaction between the players and the fans is fun to experience. Example of this is after Rooney scored two goals, and had a shot wide, all the Newcastle fans (who where great by the way, next to us in the stands) all started taunting him and he walked up to them and smiled at them, and they all let out a pooing sound, but not evil, but very freindly and slightly sarcastic. It was like Rooney was communicating wiht 2000 people at the same time. ET...Phone home.... and ps... Ruud Van Nistelrooey is incredibly cool, and he knows it.

The chosen one...part two

Well...This sounds all kinda cheesy... I get a letter from the secretary of the department, saying this...

------------ Dear Snorri, Dr. Sarikakis has chosen you as someone who might be kind enough to help the department with the marketing of its MA courses to potential future students. I am writing to you now to see if you would be willing to write a few sentences about: your impressions about one or more aspects of the MACS programme, your career or your learning, the academic community and teachers and a couple of lines about the university and the city. You may refer to something that particularly impressed you at the MACS and the things you most enjoyed doing/learning We are having a meeting on 2nd March to discuss aspects of marketing, so it would be good if you could respond by midday on Wednesday. ---------- That is ok, I can do that... but when people are looking for things like this, why dont the write their own e-mails? The first letter above is ok, but all my questions and correspondence go through the secretary, instead of Dr. S. Sounds rather like I am some test rat, to radioactive to touch. Or is it just the regular paranoia talking ... I need some Coreandir Anais tea...In fact I love the smell of herbal tea in the moring. It smells like,,...... like liquorice.
