Finished my last two exams in business statistics and microeconomics on Thursday and Friday. The weekend was devoted to celebrating the bachelor’s degree with my classmates, and it was an absolute blast.

Vacation time is now over me and it feels… boring. Weather is abysmal in typical Northern-Norwegian fashion, and there really isn’t a whole lot to do. Right now I’m not quite sure what you do when you have vacation time, no work and it isn’t a weekend.

I suppose you could pretend like every day is weekend, but that’s not necessarily a good idea, I think.

Or is that autumn? Doesn’t matter though. As you’ll notice I’ve made a little styleswitch for the blog, and switched back to the old design that I made myself many moons ago. I feel it matches my personality better, at least now during summer and all. Expect shorter, less serious and more lighthearted posts to reflect this change as well. That would be all, for now!

My blog has been transferred to a new host. At this point I’m not really sure that I’ve setup everything correctly, so I’m holding off to confirm before I move over everything else. Sorry for the inconvenience if you have any problems viewing the blog.

Edit: It looks like the blog has been moved over seamlessly. Now I’m going to go ahead and move my other sites as well. Cross your fingers that it works just as well!

First things first, happy new years to all of you! I hope your holidays were exactly what you wanted them to be, and that the new year has gotten off to a good start. I have a good feeling about 2009, it’ll be the year all of our dreams come true for certain.

Of course, dreams rarely come true without any action to set the wheels in motion, and right now I’m going through withdrawals to make one of my on resolutions a reality. Well to be honest, I would hardly call them withdrawals, rather just “wants”.

And to those of you wondering what the heck I’m on about, I’ll explain. I have this habit, a bad one. It’s a nikotine addiction, just like smoking, only instead of smoking the tobacco and nicotine, you put it up under your upper lip. It might sound weird, but it’s actually just as normal as smoking here in Scandinavia (at least Norway and Sweden). You can read all about it at Wikipedia.

While the health issues related to Snus are still being debated, the fact of the matter is that it’s an expensive, silly and pointless habit that I’ve had for far too long already, and I have decided to get rid of it. As of right now I haven’t had a snus (or any nicotine at all) in three days, or 72 hours:

It’s then that the anxieties associated with readjustment normally peak in intensity and begin to gradually decline. (WhyQuit)

I don’t think I’ve experienced any anxiety myself so far, but it’s good to know that the actual physical addiction is starting to decline from now on and out. Once I get through today, the fourth day, I have a feeling that that worst of the worst parts are over and done with.

Now, off to eat a healthy breakfast and then work. I’ll be sure to keep you up to date on my war.

Today it’s two years since the blog was re-opened in its current format. In actual age, if memory serves me correct, it’s actually been as much as four, maybe five years since I registered this domain and started putting stuff up though, but that doesn’t matter today on our anniversary!

I must have been pretty bored that night, waiting for Christmas eve and all. Well things haven’t changed that much in two years. This night / morning was spent watching Il Capo dei Capi (look it up if you like Mafia movies / series).

I also want to wish you all a politically correct holiday season, regardless of what you celebrate, or even if you don’t celebrate anything at all. Have fun!
