My Books

en route

I’m flying today! I bought Blink to read on the flight, so by the time I land I should be an expert at making accurate split-second judgements 😉

no nagging undones!

My goodness. I’m sitting in class while my students do group work and I’ve done everything that’s not on my not-to-do-list! This feels very strange. I have meetings for the rest of the day, so the day will still be full, but […]

shyrin ble åtte år gammel

They found her. This is from today’s Bergens Tidende, on the second page. I first heard by email yesterday. The Norwegian is too pragmatically poetically sad to translate. Hun ble Ã¥tte Ã¥r gammel, “She became eight years old”, but that’s not right, […]

will I get a tan on brigantine?

Next week’s Easter! Maundy Thursday, Long Friday and Easter Monday are all holidays in Norway. I’ll be in the States, writing and thinking and reading and spending time with my boyfriend, and I am so happy that Norwegians take Easter seriously. Oh, […]
