    Utilstrekkelig

    by
    Utilstrekkelig strekker hun seg etter drømmene sine, prøver å forme livet slik hun fantaserer om å ha det. Utilstrekkelig klamrer hun seg fast i den noen ganger visne troen på seg selv i en verden der de som kan gi henne noe ikke gir henne en sjanse. Utilstrekkelig setter hun spisse, noen ganger slitne, albuer…

    Avvisning

    by
    Mobilen vibrerer. En ny epost i innboksen. Så sent på kvelden, tenker jeg. Den er markert «SV: Søknad sommervikar» og er sendt fra redaksjonssjefen i Budstikka. … jeg må dessverre meddele at du ikke gikk helt til topps denne gangen. Ikke denne gangen heller. Jeg har ikke tall på hvor mange slike meldinger jeg har…

    En sånn dag

    by
    I dag er en sånn dag. En sånn dag som ikke er så bra. En ganske dårlig dag. En dag som jeg prøver å gi bedre plass til. For selv om det gjør vondt, er sånne dager like ekte som de dagene jeg føler glede. Jeg våkner opp alene. Det er helt mørkt. Og kaldt.…

    Private Eye Nomi

    by
    (PART 1)

    Call me Nomi, good?! I got a strange ring about half a year ago, you know? It was about my friend’s paintings. Call her my friend! We met at school in the evening for many years, but never get to know that well. She did not like my sniper hobby, I guess, but than that ring

    Nomi


    As I said the ring was about some paintings. (I even did not know my friend has painted.) However, the caller asserts to be my friend. She told me she has been abducted by guy named Che. He wants to have some paintings destroyed

    Movie Portraits
    If this might not happen soon he will kill my friend or rather might assure she will never leave the prison she now is captivated it.

    Why? No idea, it was! How? Easy I thought. Just taking them out from the storage, cut them out of the frames, chop the frames, dump them at the recycling yard. I will have expenses, yes, but …      Did I tell you one of my other hobbies is being a private eye? Not very successful, yet, but I think helping my friend might accelerate the success.


    However! So much went wrong! (I will tell you later if you like?) I haven’t destroyed thepaintings by now. 
    but I have found out about Che. Che is in love with my friend. She went overseas once to visit him and he fell in love, but my friend left him because she had to organize an exhibition of her paintings. You might think this can’t be a problem! You can meet again! In fact, my friend did not want leaving her paintings behind and Che did not want having the paintings around. That was it. He thinks himself being helpful now. I should mention my friend did not tell the truth when she told me Che has abducted her. I wasn’t able to find out who did, she won’t tell me more, I am sure, why ever, but she seems to live in akind of nightmare, unless the paintings are destroyed. See you for the time being.

    Nei, dette er ikke bare enda en uke

    Det er helt stille her. Ikke en lyd, ikke utenom lyden som kommer fra tastingen på tastaturet og susingen fra en sliten macbook pro kjøpt i 2011. Det er mandag, det er fridag. Klokken passerte akkurat 14.05, men antrekket er fortsatt nattøy. Rosa slikebukse, hvit t-skjorte. Håret er i en dult på toppen av hodet, uten sminke,…

    En uendelig rekke av eventyr

    by
    Jeg er Cornelia. Jeg startet året med å bli 27 år gammel. Livet er morsomt, det tar meg nye steder hele tiden. For åtte år siden, som 19-åring, var jeg utrolig stresset og redd for at jeg skulle gå glipp av noe og ta feile valg. Nå sitter jeg her og er utrolig stolt over hva jeg har gjort så langt og hva jeg har fått oppleve. Men herregud hvor mange feile valg jeg har tatt. Samtidig så har de valgene ført meg dit jeg er i dag.

    Day 2 In Resource 1

    My second day in the resource 1 classroom was quite a bit more involved than the first. I spent 4 hours in the classroom on this particular day and was there to observe and participate with grades 1-5 for both reading and math. It seems like the majority of the students that came to the […]

    My second day in the resource 3 classroom was a lot of fun. Although there were several students out due to illness, I had many chances to interact with the students. The teacher was working with the students on coloring inside the lines when I arrived so I sat down and assisted some of them […]

    Day 1 In Resource 1

    On Tuesday I spent about an hour and a half in a Resource 1 classroom. With it being my first day in that particular classroom, most of what I did was observation. I watched the teacher work with students in 4th and 5th grade with reading comprehension and mathematics. These students worked on comparing fractions […]

    The Mask Becomes You

    Hi Guys, It’s been an eventful yet calm New Year. With many changes coming in, I’ve been in this pensive mood for a while now. It started when a colleague assumed that the mask I don at the workplace is how I really am, and when I realized that my mask had become the way … More The Mask Becomes You

    The Observer

    by
    It isn’t a lie what I am telling you now. Believe it or not I do not tell the untruth. It was about winter 2006 when I got unemployed. I knew I just must do something to get out of my mind that I am one of THEM. It was also about the time the government decided to ament the payout date of unemployment assistance from end of the month to the beginning of the month. Have it that meant double payment for one month. I thought I am going crazy when I took a catalogue for painting materials and ordered 12 big canvases, some huge bottles of different oils and thinner, the biggest bags of pigment I could find, although the lady on the phone recommended smaller bags. I was so excited when the materials were delivered soon. I loved the Harry Potter movies at that time and I was determined to make 12 paintings about them. One of them was a portrait painting from Snape. You know, the strange, bat like professor of potions and dark magic. When I started painting the portrait all seemed to be fine, except that I found it extremely sexy to watch this withdrawn looking guy. I enjoyed observing him, while he resembled a person banned by looking at something … someone? Watch yourself !

      Snape

    Is the ‘someome’ me? I immediately rejected this freaky … scary? Idea. IF I HAD NOT! Still full of life I went ahead painting, sometimes dropping away while sitting on my chair overserving my progression, until a day… it was a weird feeling, because I looked at the chair I have just fallen asleep on, me gone, but only a painting of an eye … my eye, I understand.

      I am still watching you ;)

     I have never left the place I now have to live in, which I am certain is Snape’s eye.

    I went into the Resource 3 classroom today with some anxiety. I was a little nervous about how I would handle working with and observing children with more severe disabilities and I wondered if this observation and participation time might convince me to change my major back to general education. The teacher was warm and […]
