Flying back

On Saturday I had a pre party fr my class that became pretty wild. We went to Metro, which was pumping. I mean heaps of people this night.

I woke up on Sunday at 12.15 by a text from Martin asking me when it was okey to get down to a cleaned house. I got up and began cleaning up yesterday’s beer bottles.

About 3 weeks ago Malin and I realized that we were booked in on the same flight from Perth to London. The trip went so much faster with some company.

After a day on the road at London’s airport our planes where delayed. Malin was flying to Oslo and her plane was before mine. She got on her plane at last and I sat back waiting for mine which was now 1,5 hours late.

I considered calling my parents since they were supposed to travel by car for 2,5 hours to pick me up. Well a bit before it was about to depart they canceled the plane!!!
I ring my parents up and they had been driving for almost two hours. I felt sorry for them but there was nothing one could do.

We all went to get our baggage and for rebooking. It took us many hours but finally we were on a bus to Radisson’s 4 star hotel. During this time I had met another Swede, Peter. They booked us in to the same room. We also met Paulo Roberto and his film crew, they had been in Italy to record his show Primo Paulo.

We went down to the hotel bar to have a look for some fun but it was not that interesting. A whole bunch of people from Stuttgart who were in the same seat as us.
We went to bed and this next morning we used the breakfast buffet voucher’s to get ourself filled up. ☺ Respect for providing free internet over at Radisson.

At the airport in London we got meal tickets for 15pounds so I’ve had a lot of good sushi today, a bit too much :D

BMS exam

Our toughest exam starts in 1 hour. I meet people in our class with red eyes and sacks under their eyes. Me myself am a bit dizzy. Mostly because of this shit sickening thing I've got.

I went down to my local pharmacist this morning and described my problems. I wanna get rid of this mucous in my throat asap.

As a friend told me this morning. You don't go to the gym the same day as your weight lifting competition is. We will see if it's a good thing or not.

I think we all will be doing pretty okey on this one, just an hour left and I want to chill during this hour.

BMS / Introduction to Human Body

PS. Yeah it felt bigger when I was up there ;)

Semester 1 completed

I remember the initiation week. And now its week 14 or something.
It's Wednesday today and Friday is our last day with lectures, after that it's just the one week study break and then the two weeks of exams.

Lots of studying a head now but that's fun, for the most part. I get to learn so much especially before a test. I have learnt heaps since I came here.

Writing essays for example. I got 27% on my first one (You need 50% to pass) And today I got 55% on my second one, without anyone proof reading it.


Well I will hopefully pass all my units and hopefully get a HG (High distinction 80%) in chemistry. My big problem is my writing, my Swedish accent is all good ;)

I bought a surfboard and I can actually turn a bit and go with the wave, catching it and standing up is a piece of cake.

Looking forward to a summer in Sweden

Biking is awesome, especially when you're not in a hurry and the sun is shining

Eating, eating and eating

It feels like many people in western society think about food, A LOT.
Food is everywhere and still, some people are obsessed with it.



I mean, it´s good to keep track on what you are eating. There is so much junk food out there, so you better watch out.
But it seems like as soon as you start thinking about what you’re putting in your mouth it has no stop to how much you can think about it.



Since the mind is always thinking about it. It becomes a big thing. People should instead try to listen more to their bodies actual need instead of their minds.

I just wanted to have that out of the way. What I want to write about is the error I see people do, that make me cry (not really but you get it).

CARBOHYDRATES..buhhh….buhh.buu..bu….
The big bad carbohydrate that is turning you into a fat monster.



You feel good after your training session.
You are feeling that you’re on the right track, that you’re getting more fit and you don’t want to destroy the feeling by putting *!”€#&%/carbohydrates in your body.

If you really hate carbohydrates. It’s on one occasion where I really want you to eat them. It is post training. (post= after) The body makes use of them immediately.

If you ever want to live a more balanced life where you don’t have to think so much about what you are eating, do yourself the favour and eat carbohydrates after you have been to the gym, been running or whatever you do when you’re working out. Don’t go to bed after a one hour session and tell me you ate 3 hours ago.

If you do, it will come back to you and you will never be able to live that jingYang lifestyle.



1-2 grams carbohydrate per kg is recommended post training. If you weigh 70kg’s you should eat approximately 100grams of carbs. That is 1/5 of a typical spaghetti package (Not in America of course).

I am not an expert in nutrition so don’t take what I write to seriously but do consider it. You will feel much better during the day and the day after if your body get its deserved carbs after training.

Update

I morse på Trigg beach, woohoo surfing. There was a couple of dolphins a 20 meter outside of the line up, 90% of us went in, I was one of them but just for a couple of minutes til the danger was cleared.

Me and Benn posing
Another sick day in school. This day goes to the history.
Elin and I at Scarborough some early morning before school this week. Same day as above.

AND yes I have heard that my grandpa reads this blog
Lasse, can you please figure out how to comment and make a comment.

Schoolio

On Thursday tomorrow we are having our mid semester exam. It is about human anatomy, human body evolution, cells and tissues, organs of the body and probably some more stuff. Well I really need to study now. It´s 9pm (That´s in the evening)
I was off in school at 11.30 am today and was about to study, got stuck on one of the computers til 2pm. Internet is so damn addictive to me it´s not even funny.
I am so glad that I don’t have it at home. Sometimes you miss it because it´s something you want to look up on wikipedia or something. But you get used to it.
I am actually studying when I get home, and pretty efficient. It´s not like last fall when I was checking Facebook or Surfzone every five minutes.

Well I came home and was about to study. Laurenz texted me and said it was windy at Woodies and said I should meet him there in 10minutes. I just cannot say no to that so I ate my spaghetti and took off. Laurenz was filming the whole thing. Anders also came down just a bit after when I said it was windy. We had a really cool session were I landed my first invertedfront2Blind.
Was stoked to show Anders the raley2wrapped I learned yesterday even thou my hand was sore due to me for the first time putting the rope between my middle fingers. Gotta make that scar tissue grow between your fingers haha.

Some things I have done in the last weeks that increased my riding skills is.

Shorten the lines to 20meters – Cannot believe why I have not done this before. Everything is just better this way except that it takes a few meters extra to get going fast but as soon as you get going you are all fine.

Having the rope in between my fingers – Seriously just do it if your kite is not staying in the same spot. It takes max ten raleys and then it feels normal.

Listen and looking at the guys in the snowkite movie Dimensions and their crashes. You have actually no excuse to not go more powerful when you are doing flat water tricks and its pretty deep water. Ask JohanW if you can excuse yourself when its 10cm of water.

And yes Anders the damn power machine was also trying Raley2wrapped and he passed the bar in the air!...Twice what I could see.
Unfortunately he did not stick anyone of them today.

1. I got no reflexes in my knees?
2. Neanderthals existed just 30.000 YA. Its not that long ago if you think that Christ was around 2000YA
3. Humans lost a gene that Chimpanzees still have which make their muscles 4-7 times stronger the humans.
4. In the ear there is this complicated thing and its walls are filled with sensitive cells. It contains fluid and register how the body is twisted.
5. Does the electron stop moving when we get down to absolute zero? (-273.15ºC)

Such a good day

I was gonna be some southerly winds yesterday. I was push biking home at two.
I was on the water at 3 or 3.30
There was some small kicker waves coming in on woddies.
Managed to do two flat3's over them, super funny.
also landed my first raley2wraps. They are in the movie.

Woodmans sessions

People all over are making so good movies now check these ones out www.onshore.se
Stoked to see that everyone is doing so good. Will soon be coming some videos of Anders up aswell. That guy goes with so much power into his tricks, especially his mobes. He needs a bigger board and a pair of boots now.
