Roughly 5 months have passed of my last year at school.
So I've been thinking a lot of what my options are next year.
Here's (another) list:
1. Staying home a year.
This option is the easy option.
I take a year off from school, get a job, stay home and do nothing at all.
A good idea, but it's not long-term based. Might work for max 2 years.
2. Stay in China.
Heading back to Hong Kong next summer, and I'm thinking of just staying there till Christmas.
Learn more Chinese, travel Asia a while and eat.
Good God, I miss Chinese cuisine.
However, the zero-income is a big issue.
3. Join the Army.
Take a couple of phone-calls and see if the Army will accept me.
Chances are I end up doing shitwork behind a desk.
Not long-term based.
4. Start school.
I've been looking at a couple of schools and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up as a workdiver.
School lasts for 16 weeks in Oslo with an additional 1 month in France for further training.
Doesnt cost much, doesnt last long, already got a place to stay and I'm guarenteed job straight after school. Plus, the pay is good, too.
5. Move to the USA.
This is the option I really want to pursue.
Get a green card, train for a couple of months then join the United States Marine Corps.
14 weeks basic training, 6 monts getting an MOS then deployment.
These are basically all my options.
For now it's just waiting and see what happens.

I've been to Rutledge`s.
Yes, people. Its T H A T time of the year again. Christmas.
Effing Christmas...
It's starting to get on my nerves now.
Let me explain:
As stated before, I work for the Post. This means I hand out post to people.
It's an ok job. Not too much thinking, don't really need an education, good pay and benefits. Plus I get exercise and fresh air.
I started working for them in July. Which meant I worked there for 5 weeks from Monday till Saturday getting to know the job.
Thing is, the Post actually gets 60% of its income from Elkjøp, Komplett, Ikea and other companies to hand out commercial.
So, one sunny July afternoon I started on handing out the post after delivering a shitload of packages.
Remember, this is in July. And I'm handing out post and commercial.
Christmas-commercial.
In July.
Commercial for Christmas-related products in July.
July.
Christmas-july in Commercial.
Yeah, I know. A typo. But that shit really wringes your mind, doesnt it?
So I snapped pretty hard.
That's one of the few reasons why I really detest Christmas.
Another reason is that Christmas is a Christian holiday which turned sour at one point.
From celebrating the birth of a Saviour to being a totally capitalistic money-making machine.
Off course, many people still considers Christmas as what it is but for many its just a holiday with little or nothing moral, religious meaning at all.
The one thing I like about Christmas is the food, but that's getting too boring. I mean, what kinda resturaunt cooks Christmas-dinner in bloody October?
I might as well be celebrating Rahmadan. Less fuss...
Well, 60 Minutes is on.
Promise a new post before Christmas Eve.
