Tyttö sinä olet tähti

[urania]

The subject line doesn't have anything to do with, well, anything, I just watched the film yesterday and liked it and needed a subject line. Also I AM TOTALLY A STAR, TOO! :P

Well, well, if this week went the best possible way it could! :)

If you're friends with me on Twitter, too, I might have already spammed you with my self-centeredness and I'm sorry for that, but yeah, I'm so happy right now! :)

Awesome things to happen to me this week:

- got an 1.3 in my Norwegian oral exam!
- written exams in Norwegian and Interscandinavian (is that a word? xD The subject is about understanding the other Scandinavian languages...) went okay, too, hope I didn't suck too much in Norwegian though xD
- passed the Old Icelandic exam which I never would have thought possible!
- finally got my European Ethnology term paper (from last summer) back and it turns out, I scored a 1.0! That's super awesome since this one grade accounts for my whole side studies (European Ethnology that is ;)) and thus I have 20 SP I finished with a 1.0!

And last but very much not least:



I was accepted for a place in Tromsø! Granted, it was the Erasmus programme which accepts practically everyone, but it's still making me insanely happy! :D I already signed the... "Annahmeerklärung", I don't know what it is in English... acceptance decleration maybe? Oh, well, anyway, I'm going to be there for almost a year, studying at the world's northernmost university and if that's not the epitome of cool (pardon the pun), then I really don't know what is. :)

Tromsø, here I come!


Click me for the uni website! :D

Isn't it pretty~?


And click me for the Tromsø tourist website!


Yeah! :D Oh, and now that uni is over for the semester I guess, I have enough time to post the third and last photo spam about my travel to the Baltic states. It's about Estonia. Does anyone still want to see it? :)

Så, ha det gøy, da, alle sammen! :D



And excuse my crappy English, I keep wanting to use Norwegian prepositions and shit, so that's that... :/

I really am so happy for you! :D Tromsø looks amazing! It's sad that I really like the logo XD

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I am happy for me, too! :D

It does, doesn't it? It has 50,000 inhabitants, not bad for a city so far north. :)

Why is it sad that you like the logo? xD

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

50,000 is about the size of this town, so that's a good size :)

I like the logo because it looks like a couple of Murkrow ;-; Damn Pokémon!

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

I've actually never lived in a town that small, so I'm really looking forward to it. :)

Ah, well, it's still a good reason to like it, I guess. xD Though I think they're supposed to be Odin's crows Huginn and Muninn (which are names I totally gave to my Pokemon in HGSS... xD). They stand for thought and mind, or something. <3

I also really like Tromsø's coat of arms:



It's just really "You don't wanna fuck with me." xD

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

Holy shit that coat of arms is SO COOL ;-; It looks so pleased with its self! I thought that it was maybe Odin's two ravens on the uni logo. That's also really cool! The logo of the uni I'm going to is pretty boring - just a purple mountain (although it is bilingual and has Gaelic on it :D).

50,000 seems like a small number, but that's actually quite big for a town in this part of the world :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh, show meeee! I wanna seee it! :D Bilingual anything is really cool! :D Tromsø is kind of trilingual which I find mindblowing! :D

Yeah, and there's not much around it, so... And I just read it's the second most widespread town in Europa, that has to count for something. :P

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

That's the uni logo (the uni actually lots of different campus scattered all over the Highlands, but I'm going to the Orkney one because it's the head department for Archaeology). Orkney's actual crest has a unicorn and a viking ship on it XD

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

That is the best name for a university I have ever heard! :D
And how can you tell me about such an awesome sounding crest and not show it?! xD

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

This is the Orkney crest (I can't find a proper version of it, I think this one looks a bit too computer-generated and "flat" ;-;):



I'm not sure what the man on the left is meant to represent. I think it's supposed to be a Norwegian settler from the 15th century, but it's difficult to find real information on the internet about it.

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Haha, they guy looks as if he just showed up by mistake. "Huh, I guess I should just hold on to it. Yeah." :D But it's pretty cool!

So what does the unicorn represent? :D

Btw, this is the crest of the county of Troms:

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

He looks confused as to his purpose XD

I'm not sure about the unicorn. The unicorn represents Scotland on the Great British coat of arms (which is confusing because it is a lion on the alternative Scottish flag), but I've never been able to understand the reasons why. Probably something to do with a war that happened hundreds of years ago *-*

That is a really cool crest! It's nice and stylised!

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

I find flags and coats of arms and all that stuff embarrassingly awesome. xD Also anthems. I really love anthems! :D

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

very pretty ideed :D

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Nicht wahr? :D Ich bin jetzt schon ganz aufgeregt... und habe immer noch Angst, dass was schiefgehen könnte in letzter Sekunde quasi...

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

PSCHT, da geht nix schief <3

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Du musst es ja wissen. :) Ich bin ganz inspiriert von deinem St. Andrews-Erfolg irgendwie... xD [/strange9]

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

hehe naja aber du hast dir den Erasmusplatz ja auch echt verdient mit so super Noten :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Awww, danke, wie lieb! :D Das erschreckende ist, das ich trotzdem nur Durchschnitt in meinem Studiengang bin. Alles Oberstreber da!

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

Ernsthaft? o__O dann sind das aber echt alles Streber.

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Ja, und dann kommen sie angeschlichen "Naaa, was hast du mündlich? ... Oh, ich hab ja 1,0."
Zum Glück sind nicht alle so. ;) (Aber schon eine ordentliche Portion.)

[daisysusan.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS! :D

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D Takk skal du ha!
