Summer vacation

Today I completed my final exam for my Bachelor degree in business and as such I plan on having a nice and relaxing summer vacation before I start my Masters degree over the summer. Ok, so I will be working here in Oslo for most of it, then again, I love doing so. Hopefully the weather keeps up, and as I believe it will I have a slight suspicion that there will probably be some assemblies at Aker Brygge having some pitchers of beer throughout summer, in addition to the wine and beer I presume will get consumed on my balcony over the next couple of months.

But I won't stay all of summer in Oslo and as such I've scheduled a trip back to my home-town, Ã…lesund, the week 30.07 - 05.08, incidentally grasping about my birthday, 2nd of August.

I've also procrastinated some programming jobs till the end of exam, so looking forwards to a nice series of programming nights as well. The most interesting project will hopefully be announced around September, but until then you'll just have to guess as to what it is.

Good summer everyone!

Holmenkollstafetten 2007

Holmenkollstafetten 2007 is set to go the 12th of May 2007, and guess who got tricked into running? Yes, you guessed correctly, your's truly.

The relay race consists of 16 stages, the 15 first running and then the 16th being a banquette. This year's after-running party will be at Latter at Aker Brygge. I'm set to run between Vindern and Slemdal, a mere 1300 meter uphill elevation, so hopefully my jogging lately has put me in a condition to perform properly.. that said I am in better shape than ever, so I'm optimistic. It is the spring's most gorgeous adventure after all, with well over 500 teams running.

Ok, so I'm not running on the Terra Group's first team. That team required pre-qualification (with the exception of Odd Børn Hjelmeset that got pre-qualified for his two world championship gold medals in Sapporo 2007). But as it turned out they were missing some folks to run for the 2nd team, and as it turns out I could fit it into my schedule after all, so I figured it can be fun enough.

Wish me luck 🙂
