Hi!

I suppose so.

Hmmmm. Interesting. Deteriorated, though? I doubt it.

Øyvind

heelo!

gosh it's my last SQA exam tomorrow. It's at 9am, which means i'll be getting the 7.30am train tomorrow. Dear God... but im not a morning person!

anyhoo... better be off to study a bit more if my wee brain can take it! Hows your tests going?

Hiya!

Well, good luck. How did it go?

Good luck, then. They've all went splendidly thus far...

Øyvind

hi!

ah twas pretty awful. I wasn't expecting the writing part to be so difficult. I should have though because the reading was fair. We had a party afterwards though and i had some red wine. Tis pretty good... i felt instantly flushed though!

i was also in an internet cafe today... it was a rather depressing wee place! I'm sure they are not all like that.

ah good good, i take it your concert is later this week too?

Hello!

Awww. Well, you'll have to wait and see how it went, I suppose. The party was nice, though?

Some are very good, and some are awful, I suppose...

The concert was yesterday, actually. We did great, though. Oh, and I'm going to a concert in Oslo tonight. Yaaay...

And my ADSL has arrived at last!

Øyvind

hi!

aaaah good.

ooooh you went to a gig? What was it? How was it?

ADSL? Is that to do with your Broadband?

Hello!

Was it? I'm asking you here.

Yeah, it was a classical one, Haydn, Ravel... Pretty fun stuff, actually. A lot of that typical Haydn humour... Oh, and we got some of the best seats in the whole concert hall, at the cheapest price imaginable (less than 3£), because our teacher knew the timpani player. Oh, and we got to go backstage during the break...

Yes, ADSL is a high speed internet connection, which people often (inaccurately) refer to as broadband. It's not broadband, but it's very high speed internet.

Øyvind

hi!

ah sorry i was replying to you saying the concert you played went well.

As for the party, well, Doritos and Dip and plenty of them!

ooooh kewl... lucky you, did you speak to any of the musicians backstage?

ah i see... Only the fastest connection for you eh? hehe

Hello!

Ah, I see... Silly me, eh?

Sounds nice to me!

Yeah, we had a word with the timpani player.

Hehe. Not the fastest (it's rather expensive), but I don't need it. What I need is the possibility to be online for as long as I wish without paying extra for it.

Øyvind

hiya!

Nah i mucked up the order of the thread.

Ah i see... .. can you really not get an unlimited set-up? Im sure my aunt has that... is it just something you can't get in Norway yet?

dear god im just back from Glasgow and im knackered! I was only in for 2 hours because we were going round clubs(it was sean's birthday) but it's soooo expensive so i just went home once we had tried a few. £18 to get into a club?! How insane is that?! Now i know why students go out on Thursday nights. It's cheap. Anyhoo half of us went home. I feel a bit flat now actually. The best times i have are at gigs right enough. I shoud take my own advice more often!

Hello!

Ah, I see...

Unlimited set-up? I've got no limit to how much I can download. There's always a speed limit. Anything else is a physical impossibility (I believe it's explained by the general theory of relativity).

Sheesh. That's quite a lot!!! Ah, well, it was a birthday celebration, after all. Did you have a good time, then?

Øyvind

hi!

yaay im back on. Sooner than i expected actually.

Yeah i just meant an unlimited surf time. A fixed bill in other words.

yeah i told my friend today and she was shocked. Well no not really. I find Glasgow to be a really awful place to be at midnight on a Saturday night. eugh.

Claire

Hello!

YAY!

Ah, yes. Yep, we get a fixed bill.

I hope you'll enjoy Oslo, though.

Øyvind

hiya!

Ooooh and i think i'll be getting my computer fairly soon because my mum's starting to worry about where to put it. I might be getting my whole room redecorated actually! ooooh exciting!

ah cool they're the best. Can't have you stressed out with limited surf time the way you get in internet cafes eh? hehe

ah i know i will. Everyone who's ever said anything about Norway to me has always used the word 'clean'. Now that's something that Glasgow's not!(you may have noticed).

Claire

Hello!

Yaaaaaay! That'll be good.

Hehe. Precisely. I think my mum figured out that a fixed bill was cheaper in the end.

Clean, yes, you might be right. I didn't notice that in Glasgow, but I think you'll see for yourself when you come over.

You might've noticed that I'm off school today... I've got a study-day, because I've got to sit an arranging/composing exam tomorrow...

Øyvind

hi!

yup she wants to get rid of the carpet too and just varnish the floorboards or something like that... she might regret that when she hears me jumping around the room to music every night! It's currently Red Hot Chili Peppers.

hehe yeah okay smarty

well it's what everyone says about Norway. Gosh litter and grafitti is rife in Glasgow!

aaaah is it one of the more difficult exams? I seem to remember you not being too happy about it.

Hello!

Hmmmmm. Sounds like one helluva job to me... Well, redocaration is fun.

Well, the bills were pretty... large.

I suppose you'll see for yourself...

Rather fiddly. It's like your music theory, only thrice as complicated... It's alright, but it's fiddly...

Øyvind

hi!

hmmmm well my father will come in handy at least. hehe

hehe... so is your ADSL good then?

Well that sounds like hell for sure. I mean im certain im gonna fail this exam. It's just too difficult and for some reason im prone to making careless mistakes.

*Happy thoughts* *Happy thoughts* hehe

Hello!

Yeah, I suppose he will...

ADSL is great. I can finally download stuff at a proper speed, and without worrying about the internet bill...

Well, does it matter that much? I should remind you that it could be easier than you think it will be...

When's the exam?

Øyvind

hi!

Oh you must be like a pig in muck!hehe

yeah that's true. It's not this Saturday but ne next.

my mother would like you to know that her latte bill is as big as your mother's internet bill. i.e, i have recently developed a taste for Cafe Latte... it's the new Turkish Delight!
