these are a few photos i took of our view and the polar night sky while i was in tromsø for the christmas holidays (there wasn't much else to photograph). so this was the sky around noon when it was the brightest. which was not very bright, but colorful. i was hoping to see some northern lights as well, but of course it was pretty cloudy every night, and when it finally was clear enough there wasn't any northern lights to see. typical!

shoveling snow
i have honestly no idea why he does this. he loves keeping us company whenever we shovel snow and he often jumps up into the snow shovel and starts digging. findus is the strangest cat
(sorry for my constant giggling throughout the clip, i couldn't help it).
also, i added labels to some older posts which might have resulted in them showing up again on bloglovin'? i'm not sure, but sorry if anyone was spammed with posts.

photo diary
this winter and last summer.
i pretty much use my iphone as a visual diary so here is a selection of a few photos i've taken since january (i've posted some of them on instagram already. my name is nikolinelr there too):
1. a statue at fengdu, 2. the crew on the ship in traditional chinese clothing (at least copies of it), 3. near the three gorges dam, 4. somewhere in wuhan, 5. and 6. somewhere between wuhan and yichang.
1. studying for midterms. it seems the weather is always perfect during exams! so frustrating. 2. one fine morning, 3. my mom visited for a few days and wanted to stay at a hotel rather than in my 12 m2 room and chaos kitchen that i share with 6 other students. i could understand that. so we got a room with a view to the city hall. 4. after sunset
1. i hung this poster on my door. i think it says something like "you can live without a lot of things, but not without cats and literature!" (any germans out there, please correct me if i'm wrong!). makes me happy every time i walk out the door. 2. i decorated my boring lab coat.
1. collecting dna from fish sperm on a stick! a bit like candy floss. 2. our first self made and self run agarose gel electrophoresis!
1. after the worst exam ever, i went down town and bought this skirt to make me feel better #materialistic. our teacher crammed way way WAY too many questions into a 2 hour exam, there was barely enough time to write something on each question, and even less time to think. hopefully they take that into account when they grade it. 2. i have no good explanation for this... the pixels are the limit?
1., 2., 3., 4., 5. and 6. findus, findus, findus... i was in tromsø for a week this easter and it snowed and snowed and snowed...
1. the bus stop near our house in tromsø, though not much compared to the piles of snow we saw elsewhere. 2. on the plane back to oslo.

(house i often drive by around tromsø)
it's been quite some time since i last posted here (i feel like i start every post saying this...). i am obviously not the devoted blogger. i still hope you enjoy the few posts that i put up here. i've mostly taken pictures with my phone lately, and plan to post some here. i know many people dislike phone-pictures, but i think it's a good and easy way to capture little moments.
i've spent most of my time this summer in tromsø. if one were to judge an entire summer based on the weather, this has been a horrible one. out of two months, i can count on my hands the number of times i've seen the sun. which is ironic since tromsø is above the arctic circle, and therefore the sun never actually sets... the best weather has been at night around 3 a.m. if i was to look past the weather, this summer has been pretty okay.
i'll post more later!
