Finish Him!

Well, back home again after these interviews with Under Dusken and Studentradioen. I feel so reliefed having gone through the interviews and I have a good feeling. I think I did o.k. on the interviews. I will know later this week, maybe on wednesday or tuesday if I got the job or not. My primary choice was the job at Studentradioen. But I will be delighted if I get the job as a photographer for Under Dusken. That too would be neat. I signed a registration form that told the people at Studentersamfundet which job that had the highest priority with me.

Some new music has gotten my attention lately. I was at this cafè today with my girlfriend, Anette, and I heard this easy-listening mix of a Simon & Garfunkel-song, Sound of Silence. Just had to ask the people working at the cafeteria who the artist was. Jack Johnson he told me, the guy behind the counter. Came home and got the song right away. Very cool song.

Anyway, I wanna teach you a little about good music here today, so here is my updated list of music I listen to:

James Holden - The Sound Of Silence (Vinyl Mix)

Billy Idol - Super Overdrive

Mew - Zookeeper`s Boy

Arctic Monkeys - Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor

Yellowcard - Way Away

Every now and then I will present you some good music to do your dedicated studies to. I`m off to delve more into Discrete Mathematics. Lucky me.

Now playing:

Round 2: Fight!

Round one completed. Just come back from an interview with the Studentradio-people. I was called yesterday, Sunday and asked if I could meet with them on an interview at Studentersamfundet, the student community building in Trondheim, famous for its concerts and good student society. Six people, all executives at the student radiostation, sat in front of me as I sat down in a big, soft, red sofa to have a little "chat" with them. I sipped on a cup of coffee while the six of them, seated in two black sofas in front of me, introduced themselfes. I was of course a bit nervous, they asked me about music, what kind of music I liked and wether or not I am politically interested. Which three cd`s I bought last time, if I were to make a program now, about something from the news, what would I pick up from foreign and domestic news... and so on. And when we arrived at the end, I was asked to make a speech about me, somekind of speech where I adressed them and convincing them I was the right person for them. I was very relieved when the interview was over, although they seemed like really nice people. The stress was over for now. I went straight up to Gloshaugen and bought me a sandwich and a cup of coffee.

Now round two is coming up, the interview with Under Dusken, about the vacant position as a photographer for Under Dusken. They phoned me as well yesterday and we arranged a meeting at Studentersamfundet later today. It starts in about a half hour, better round up this posting then. Wish me luck.

My applications

My applications both for the job at the student radiostation and for the job as a photographer for the student-magazine called "Under Dusken" are finished. For my application as photographer I had to enclose a couple of images that I have taken. The link to my application at Flickr.

For the application to the student radio I had to write a page about my self, sounds easy but that one was the hardest. Try summing up yourself on one piece of paper! I really hope to get in on any of these jobs. As I told you at the last posting, I hope to have heard some news regarding my application next week sometime.

And then I just have to tell you about this pilot that landed his helicopter at a parking lot in a little norwegian town because he had forgotten his cellular phone at the nearby hotel!

Work besides school

I have posted an application to Under Dusken, which is a local magazine for students and academics in Trondheim and surrounding academic environments. I want a job there as a photographer. I saw a link to their homepage where they asked for more people. The job does not give me any money but I would be happy to get some experience working as a photographer. I have always found it very interesting to take pictures and I hope that some of my images I enclose in my application are good enough to give me a tryout at Under Dusken taking their pictures.

I had to enclose some images in my application that I have taken earlier to have something there to show for. Here is one picture taken of the fjord next to the city centre of Trondheim. This fjord is actually called The Trondheim-fjord.

It is not perhaps one of the best images but the light the sun creates here is so intense and amazing. I simply had to enclose that one.

I must limit myself for the work outside school and focus more on my studies and not let anything non-relevant get in way. That means saying no to my boss about working saturdays, so that I can have some time off in the weekends. He did not appreciate that so much. Well, I told him I could only work, say, Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Well, this week he has not given me any day. I thought so.

Enough said about the work, let me instead tell you that I also applied for another job. A job at the local radiostation for students in Norway. That is the most exciting application of the two I am working on now I think. Radio has always been kind of my secret passion and a little dream for me to work with. I am hoping most of all that I willl get an opening there, instead of the job as photographer. The definite last day to send in the application is Sunday, january the 29th. Hope to have got answers from them both within the next week then.

My first publishment!

Well, had to start doing something about my Gloshaugen-blog. Used to be at MSN Space before, but that one is so unreliable that I can`t possible go on using their system any longer. It`s always the same, "This space is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later", when I go to check it.
Now I started here instead and I guess that this blogspace is as good as any other, at least a heck of a lot better than MSN`s Space. Gloshaugen is located at NTNU , Norwegian University of Science and Technology, in Trondheim, Norway, and it is the largest university in Norway.

Here I study computer science, and the course is like I can choose very much for my self what courses I want to study, outside the must-have-courses which one have to have, if you want a degree in Computer Science. But it is very free and a lot of responsibility. Anyways, I plan to blog my progress on my studies here, and hope that someone that plans to start their studies at Gloshaugen, NTNU or in Trondheim, in near future, finds these pages interesting and leaves a comment once in a while.
