Ingrid in Hawaii; belated

Still not too up to date, but I guess its better late than never. So I will not write too much, but even though I haven’t been taking a lot of pictures, doesn’t mean she didn’t. So I got a bunch of pictures that I will put up for a couple of slideshows for “all of you” to enjoy.

We went to Kailua Beach; a beautiful beach located on the windward side of O’ahu. We went on a roadtrip with the MC and ended up here where we got some great food and some hours enjoying the sun and the view of one of Hawaii’s most famous beaches.

You can’t be a tourist in Hawaii without going to Hanauma Bay and discovering the beautiful fishes in the Hawaiian waters.

We also had a badass Halloween. Because of my limited economy as a student we didn’t go all out on the costumes, like a lot of americans do, but we had more fun than most americans do. And that’s what matters. We went to our neighbor (the apt my mom is staying at during christmas) as it was my friends birthday as well. We gave her a jack-o-latern as a gift. Handy work by Ingrid and motivational speech given by me to keep Ingrid motivated to do it. Good times. Since we didn’t want to waste all the pumpkin seeds we used them for our dinner. We made chicken with pumpkin, pumpkin seeds and it was really good. A good ole traditional Halloween. Check the pictures.

Got some other fun pictures, but I’ll take them another day, now I gotta go to sleep as I’m getting up early tomorrow to come with Truls to Pepperdine University.

 

Good Night

UPDATE: Pre-Ingrid Arrival

CIMG0377

Aloha fellow human beings! It’s a great day to be alive, as it always is! Today my brother is going to win the cupfinal with AaFK (of course they’re going to win), and we are gathering the troops of norwegians here in our cave for a fun game and some snacks, and maybe even some beers. We will see…

Anyways, I wanted to post 2 posts; one on what’s been going on from the time I got to Hawaii, until Oct. 20th; the day Ingrid arrived – a creature known to come out in the knight, when everyone is sleeping. Might also catch a glimpse of her at G-Sport, but she is very shy, so don’t get too close, she might get agitated and attack.

Basically I’m taking a lot of fun courses this semester. Most fun is it that I’m doing my own research. Me and a friend, Mike, another Psychology student are doing research on the compliance technique called “door-in-the-face”. I don’t want to go in to details about it, but in the link you can read about it, it is fun, and it is also a way to influence people.

I really haven’t been taking many pictures this year. But as a quick update, Vegard also joined the soccer team I play for. As well as two other good friends of mine have joined the team, so its going to be great fun to play with them this season. Also, most of our time go in to either going to school, doing homework, partying, working out, playing soccer and beachvolley. Life is good, there’s no doubt about it.

Me and Vegard are helping our friend Toni, who moved to Philadelphia, to sell his motorcycle. For doing this, he lets us borrow it as well, so me and Vegard got ourselves a MC license and can now drive around with a 1300cc. We are having fun, for sure.

This should be enough for now; I wrote it a while ago, so as you can see, it is “old” news, as AaFK already won the final etc…

See you guys later
