Sickbed
I don't know what I'd do without Andy. Especially when I'm sick or not feeling well. For a week and a half now my back has been bothering me - ever since I pulled a muscle while stretching after a ...

Update
Wow, it's now been exactly 2 weeks since I posted anything on my blog. The first week I was simply extremely busy, since I was studying for my finals, but the next week there was something wrong wi...
I Love Friday's!
Right now I'm enjoying a cold beer while Andy is finishing up our dinner. Like usual (whenever we have the time anyway), steak is on the menu, and there really isn't much that is better than that. ...
Right Now...
Right now I am extremely happy. I am definitely not ready for this vacation to end.
Lazy Sunday
Today it's rainy and gray outside so we're staying in to play games and watch movies. But first we went to the store to get snacks - and I think we went a little overboard. Oh well. We're on vacation.
Update
So... I've completely neglected my blog for about a month now. To the point where I've almost forgotten that I have one. I've just been way too busy. I have 20 hours of work for the school every we...
Sunday
This is kind of how I've been feeling today. But it was still worth it! Now I just have a ton of homework waiting for me...
Two Weeks To Spring Break!
I can't wait for spring break to get here! In just a little over two weeks me and Andy will be driving down to Florida for a whole week! I'm so tired of being freezing when I walk to the bus in the...
Busy, Busy...
Ah, lately I've been so busy that I've almost completely forgotten that I even have a blog... Grading, grading, homework, homework, and a bit of wedding planning. That is all that's going through m...
Still Sick
I am sooo tired of being sick! I've had this stupid cold for over two weeks, and when I finally thought it was about to get better, it gets worse! Today I woke up with a headache and sore throat, a...
This Week's To-Do List
People might have noticed that I like usinf my blogg as my own personal notebook. It just makes it so much easier to remember everything (and it makes me feel like I have to do it). So here we go a...
TGIF!
Ah, the weekend is finally here. I've been so busy this week (and I still haven't quite gotten rid of my cold) that I've hardly had any time to sit down and relax. I've even been grading labs and h...
Time Goes By Quickly When You're Busy
Today has been both fun and hectic at the same time. I seem to have been doing a lot of things last minute. I was hurrying to mail some papers before my first lab of the day (a lab that I am the te...
Right Now
I'm so tired of lying in bed! It's Saturday night and I could have been out having fun, but instead I'm starting on my second bag of couch drops. The only consolation is that Andy is on his way to ...
Sick...
Today I woke up with a sore throat, a stuffy nose, and a terrible headache... No school for me. So I'm spending the day in bed, watching one tree hill on my computer instead. I hate being sick.
An...
A Looong Day
Blah. I'm not a big fan of Tuesday's this semester. Especially not when I've only gotten 5 hours of sleep (yeah I know; that was a pretty bad idea), and when I forgot to bring lunch to school. I le...
I Have A Sweet Tooth
I dislike Sunday's just as much as I love Saturday's. Even though I love having the day off, knowing that I'm getting up early the next morning to go to school kind of ruins it. You know the feelin...
Life Is Pretty Great Right Now
Last night probably ended a little bit too late (around 4 o'clock), so we're also starting this morning really late. I love Saturday's. Sleeping in late, Andy making me grilled cheese, going grocer...
Finally Friday
It was incredibly hard to get out of bed this morning. My mind simply didn't want to wake up. So I slept half an hour after my alarm had gone off, and kept telling myself things like: "I don't real...
Lazy Saturday
Ah, don't you love the feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning, knowing that there is nothing you have to do all day? Well, I definitely do. Today I am doing nothing at all. My only plans are to...
TGIF!
Is it bad that this is only my first week of classes and I am already tired? Oh well, I think it's mostly in my head - I just need to get used to going to classes and doing homework again. It also ...
New Hair Color
My roots have been looking really bad for a while now - they look almost gray against the rest of my dark brown hair - so I let Andy help me dye them on Monday. I really don't like dyeing my hair a...
Lucky Me...
Seems like my body isn't as happy to be back in the US as I am... Because now I've gotten an allergic reaction to something, and I have no idea to what. I haven't eaten or drunk anything unusual, s...
Back To Normal
Only four days left until the first day of classes, and I am really not ready for that. I've had an amazing Christmas break in Norway, and I love being back in my apartment without having any work ...
Correction
Wow, I must definitely be the most disorganized person I know. Turns out we're actually not going anywhere tomorrow morning, like I thought we were. Because our plane does not leave until Tuesday.....
New Year's Resolutions
We're just a few days away from the start of a new year, and like many others I am thinking about which resolutions to make for the year of 2012. New possibilities, new opportunities, and new exper...
Norwegian Chocolate
There are many things I've missed when I am in the US, but one of the main ones would have to be Norwegian chocolate!
Yum! Actually there is a lot of Norwegian candy that I love. I might get fat...
From The Airport!
Ahhhh, we're on our way to Norway! Now we're sitting in New Jersey waiting for our flight to Oslo. I know I should be tired since I didn't get any sleep last night (we didn't start packing until 6 ...
Failed Attempt At Studying
Ah, I don't know if I've ever been this clean before. I just spent more than an hour in a hot bathtub and I feel amazing. My plan was to read over the notes for my exam while I was in there, though...
New Laptop!
I just got another early Christmas present! The third one so far, actually. My old laptop is extremely old and is hardly working anymore, and I really need it for school. So my parents chipped in t...
Have Fun!
After coming back from a great dinner, we (or I should probably say I) decided to celebrate that it was our last day of classes! It has been a long semester and I though we deserved to go out for a...
Done With Classes!
I'm finally done with classes and we're headed out to our first "Christmas dinner" of the year. I love this season!
Almost There
After eight hours of working at school, and two hours of working after I got back home, I am finally ready to pass out. The only good thing about the end of the semester is that I don't have to get...
Blah
I'm not exactly feeling great today. And I think the picture below explains why. So I'm going to get something to eat, curl up on the couch, and hope I feel better soon. I have a bunch of work that...
Working...
I really can't wait until Christmas break - I am so tired of this semester. Right now I'm working on a project that is due on Tuesday, and I have more than enough to do. Actually, it's not that the...
The Big Picture
Ah, we're finally back home in Georgia, after a long, long drive. It feels great to be back home even though I am already stressed out about school work. I definitely can't wait for this semester t...
Sassy Loves Me!
Sassy loves sitting on people. This past week she has been happy sitting on anyone, but today she just wouldnt leave me alone. No one else would do.I was trying to be on my computer, but every time...
End of Vacation
AH, only two more days of vacation left, and so much school work left to do! (And we'll be driving for 8 hours on Sunday.) Why do I put things off until the last minute? I have two presentation to ...
Black Friday
It's black Friday! Which means there are tons of sales everywhere. Me and Andy went out at 10 o'clock to stand in line outside of Best Buy to get a tv when they opened. By the time they let us in I...
Life on Vacation
You know how when you sleep for too long you sometimes end up feeling even more tired the day after? That's how I've felt all day - and it's been great! I have done two hours of schoolwork, but oth...
Birthday Gift from Andy
Here is the awesome birthday present Andy got me last week. Just what I wanted!
I get most of my makeup from Sephora - they have so many great deals.
I'm especially excited about this Too Faced e...
Belated Birthday Cake
We were way too busy on my birthday last Wednesday to remember buying a birthday cake - and we ate way too much amazing sushi to be able to eat dessert anyway. So we decided to make up for it today...
It's Thanksgiving Break!
Ah, one week without classes! In about 30 minutes me and Andy will be driving up to North Carolina to see my uncle and aunt, and tomorrow we're going all the way up to Virginia to spend thanksgivin...
Happy Birthday To Me!
Haha, I woke up this morning and was really confused when I saw that a bunch of people had written on my facebook wall. I had no idea why. No one should have to wake up at 7 o'clock on their birthd...
Online Shopping
Ah, I finally got my Disney movies in the mail! You really never get to old for them - I want them all.
And now I have two new orders in the mail. One from Sephora and one from ELF. Can't wait f...

First Post From My New iPhone 4!
I just got my very first iPhone! An iPhone 4. To be honest it's actually the first smartphone I have ever had. I can't believe that I can actually get on the internet from my phone - I can even blo...
Forgotten Halloween Picture
I was looking through my pictures form this years Halloween party again, when I found this picture. I had forgotten that I brought my camera, so I haven't really looked through them before now. I h...
My Sunday
I've gotten completely hooked on Japanese food lately! Specifically hibachi steak. If we're ever thinking about eating out or ordering food, Andy always knows what I want without even asking. And i...

Ah, last week I hardly had anything to do and this week I'm completely stressed out with school work. I hate how that happens. Right now I'm working on a presentation I have to give in class tomorr...

New Haircut
I have gone from this (bangs that went almost down to my chin):
To this:
I tried to go without bangs, and was planning on saving them out before my wedding, but I ended up changing my mind. My ...
Coffee Saved My Day
Ah, I've been so sleepy today that I've hardly been able to do anything at all. I was a little tired after school and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to take a nap on the couch. But...
Sleepy Sunday
I am going to do absolutely nothing for the rest of today. Possibly except for making dinner, because I have been wanting fish soup all day. Other than that I'm planning on lying on the couch watch...
Wishlist of 2011
Since my birthday is coming up in less than a months, and since Christmas is just a month and a half after that, I figured I'd go ahead and create this years wishlist. (The links are just examples ...

I'm Going Crazy

Day 19
Day 19: Nicknames you have & how or why you have them.
Here in the US people call me "Maria", simply because they cannot pronounce "Trine-Marie". I suppose I could have just gone with "Marie" but ...
Day 18
Day 18: Plans/dreams/goals you have.
Any long-term goals normally include what you want to do for a living/what job you want. I still don't know what I want to do, so my only professional goal is ...
A Good Weekend With Good Friends

This is my room right now. Clean, but messy. Whenever I have a lot to do I tend to just throw my clothes on the floor, and then I clean...
Norway vs. America?
It is so weird to have two places that I now think of as "home". I am in the US most of the year, have a fiance here, and am planning on staying. Then there is my family, friends, and hometown back...

I Don't Have Time for This

Fishtail Braid
Monique linked to this video on her blog (a great inspirational blog btw), and figured I'd give it a try myself.
I only used the video for reference, because I think Monique's braid ended up loo...
Not A Morning Person
I hate mornings... And sometimes even afternoons. Since I don't have classes on Friday's I always sleep in, but today I had to drag myself out of bed when I noticed that it was already past 12 o'cl...
Sushi and Some Much Needed Time Together
Me and Andy have hardly seen each other this weeks since we've both been busy with school. I had a fairly slow start to the semester, but this week I feel like I haven't done anything other than sc...
Finally Done - For The Day...
It's been a looong day. Other than taking a break to eat dinner, I've done nothing but school work all day. I have to turn this project in tomorrow, and it better be perfect! That doesn't mean I'm ...

Since I don't have classes on Friday's I'm, as usual, starting my weekend early. I have a ton of work to do, but just being able to sleep late in the mornings is improving my mood. Nothing is bette...
My Friday In Pictures
Even though I had a bunch of things to do and errands to run yesterday, I still got to spend more than enough time outside too. I think I might even be slightly sunburned. After my errands I took a...

Yesterday was mine and Andy's three year anniversary <3
We did somewhat celebrate it on Saturday, but we felt like we should still do something special. Unfortunately Andy had a lot of work to ...

Time To Start Unpacking
I've been back in the US for almost three weeks now, but I still haven't started unpacking. This probably shouldn't surprise anyone seeing as I never completely unpack when I'm in Norway during the...

My back has definitely gotten worse since school started, so on Tuesday I had to go to the health center to get it looked at. They concluded that is was muscle related and sent me back out with thr...
Ouch!
I'm the most clumsy person I know. Now I have managed to completely ruin my back. I pulled a muscle in it this morning - while just taking a shower - and I've hardly been able to move ever since. S...
