hello there!

Yaay! Hmmmm dya think i'll find my wee self a leopard-print screensaver?

Aaaah i see... so we're looking forward to Easter hols but really that's when we're all going to have to study.

I was a day ahead of myself on Friday im afraid. How was your practice today?

Yeah that's right... god i hope i remember how to access it!

Yaay! *dances*

Bonjour!

Maybe. You should at least be able to get a glam screensaver, and a "the darkness" wallpaper...

Well, that's one way of saying it. I'm going to TG, with every intent of not studying anything at all...

It was allright. It was rather exhausting, but allright in the end...

Oh, you shouldn't have too much of a problem, I think...

Indeed! I'm looking forward to seeing you again...

Øyvind

Hola!(hmmmm *realises she doesn't have an upside-down !)

Oooooooooh! Gosh im gonna be glued to this computer 24/7 for about the first week!

Ah you have the right idea there. You got a 2-week holiday? It seems you have been studying consistently anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if you if get straight be 6's without any revision!... im not playing down how hard it must be to get a 6 btw.

You kidding? I had to get Mary to personally take me through it the first 5 times! lol... and that was some time ago now...

Hiya! (What, like this one?¡)

Wee... sounds just like when I got my first computer, that...

Hehe... I wouldn't know. I do what I do, and that's it... Nope, it's a week and a few days, but it should be sufficient. Well, getting a 6 is rather more difficult, I believe. It has to be perfect... But thanks, that made me smile...

It's not hard. You start up msn, click "sign in", and then enter your username and password... The rest should be a piece of cake...

Øyvind

hi!

yep that's it!

... tee hee... i can see me sitting up till all hours of the morning just surfing aimlessly. I bet there will never be a time when you'll log onto MSN and i'll NOT be there!

Aahhh that's cool. Just make sure you have plenty fun at TG and break that 8-minute computer-building record!

Ooooh! *starts getting muchly excited about MSN*... Moan May!

I didn't notice(Until now) that in a previous message you had written you were looking forward to seeing me again(well i think those were your words anyway), This new link lays out the threads a bit strange and i sometimes miss little bits. Anyway(!) i wanted to say im muchly looking forward to seeing you too.

Hiya!

Hehe, the advantages of having a computer...

Some people have said that about me. I'm not online all too much, but it's rather frequent, one might say...

Hmmm... I don't think I'm fast enough to do that. I know what to do, but I would have to practice screwdriving techniques...

It'll be fun, I'm sure of it...

Yup, I did... YAY!

Øyvind

hello there!

Well see you there then!(online every 2 minutes
that is)

aaaah i see... so what does the record breaker win? The pleasure of gloating over everyone who didn't win?!



so what have you got planned for the day? Im just going to finish(hopefully) a project for spanish... eugh... i mean my horoscope for today actually said i should!

Hiya!

Goot, goot!

I think he got 10 000 NOK and the computer he built...

aww...

Well, I had practice from twelve, and just got home from playing the concert we were practicing for yesterday and today... I'm completely knackered, and have no wish to do the science for tomorrow...

Øyvind

hi!

what's 10 000 NOK in pounds? That a lot?

Gosh that's been a long day eh? How did the concert go?

Is it a lot of homework or is it very diffuclt? Or both? eeeep.

Hiya!

Well, I would say around £800... Rather a lot.

It went fine! I think that's the best one yet...

Both, I'm afraid... Loads of tests too...

Øyvind

Hi!

Gosh that is a lot... hmmmm i wonder what the winner spends it on... tee hee.

Ah but did you get it done okay?

You know i get the feeling you may find yourself at a loss when high school is over... i mean what'll it be like NOT having tests and exams all the time?!:0

deary me... this link has a mind of it's own.

Hello!

Probably computer accesories for his new computer... Perhaps some casemod-equipment...

Yeah, I think I did... I was better prepared, that's for certain, and I liked the pieces...

Ah, it'll be lovely... I like self-study... It doesn't consume as much time...

Øyvind

hiya!

gosh is it cold out? Im just in from college, tis freezing here.

aaaahhh... yeah i was thinking about doing some home study but went to class instead... eugh and i have a music lesson to go to in an hour... i don't know why everything has to land on the same day. Tuesday has always been an evil day for me... i agree with the Spaniards on that one.

i was watching a film last night which was set in a university and there was a lecture going on in this huge lecture theatre type place with about 1000 students... can't wait! *i figure that way they can't put me on the spot and make me answer a question like they can at school and college*

Hi!

Well, it's allright over here... Spring is coming on, at last...

Aww... was it an allright lesson, then? I've got a very stressing day tomorrow, too...

Hehe, no, they don't care too much about that at uni. You pretty much have to take care of your own education.

Øyvind

heisann!

Yeah that's true... we turn out clocks forward this weekend.

Yeah it was okay really... i have this really odd piece by Mendelssohn(hopes she's spelling it correctly) which is called "Song Without Words". It's got so many strange chords(and at one point im convinced it sounds like Blink 182's new single!)... it's not going to sound right until it's all put together, both hands and at the appropriate tempo. It's nice though.

oh and then i have the opposite "problem"... well "challenge" should we say(?) with a Mozart piece which is full of scales and goes at about 100 miles an hour! Deary me!

Have a nice day tomorrow and try not to stress too much! Easter holidays soon remember!

Halla!

So do we... Ahh, TG is coming up, finally...

Oooh, Mendelsohn... Felix, right? I've never had the opportunity to listen to him, actually. When you come over, you can play it on the piano downstairs, and I can listen...

Mozart is fun, though. He's so elegant in handling the music...

Yeah, you too. Not to worry, I don't stress for tests anymore... Yup!

Øyvind

hi!

You must have a little bit of TG-hype now?

Felix? I actually have no idea... i shall consult my music dictionary at some point. It only gives the composer's surname at the top of the pages. It's a book called "Hours with the Masters" and it's a mix of pieces for piano which are all by different composers from different musical periods.

Im not sure i've ever played anything by Mendelssohn before i was faced with this monstrosity of a piece of music!

Play the piece...? Okies... if i ever get my clumsy, wee fingers around it!

Yeah i do like Mozart though. I like how he used scales as a feature in his music... im good at scales so i appreciate that(!) Plus it sounds impressive and it's not too difficult. Thumbs up to him!

och we'll get through it all eh?

Hello!

Not really. I haven't got time for it. I still can't imagine how close it is...

I think that's it. I could look it up... I'm just trying to remember what I've read about the guy...

Ah, well. Is it a nice piece, though?

Hehe, well, I think you should play something, I think the piano is longing for someone who can play it properly...

Hehe... have you ever played any Grieg? He's made some lovely piano pieces...

Oh, I think we do...

Øyvind

hi Øyvind!

Well it's veeeeeery close!

Och yeah are both nice, very different but nice all the same. It' s just annoying at first when you have to note-bash.

Wow! This keyboard doesn't repeat words for me... what a luxury!!

Someone who can play it properly?... oh my, expectations...


Gruieg? It's possible but as i've probably already said i don't pay much attention to the composer... well i didn't until recently... shame on me!
