To first year students

Dear First Year Student!

I hope you are satisfied with your choice of High School, nevertheless can I promise you a great time here at Sandvika. You are probably a bit anxious about beginning on a new school, but do not worry, the next three years will almost certainly be the best three years of your life.

As you soon will experience you have no limitations when it comes to using the internet. You are free to visit Facebook, MSN and so on if you want to, but my advice to you is to pay attention during classes as well as using your pc to take notes. I guarantee that this simple, but still effective method will save you for lots of work later and improve your grades =)

These years will change your life and you'll discover who you really are=)

Enjoy your time at Sandvika!

Presentation Day - again!

Today I'm going "On Air" again! I am presenting a project I have been working on for a while, it's about the use of critcism in English Literature. Kind of interesting to see if there are any differences from how criticism was uttered some centuries ago compared to today. My slides are simple and the only reason I'm using them is to illuminate some points.

Sizzlers

Sizzlers: Although I created this blog to write about news in our world and the society, I need to express my joy over the new Les Mills programs. This post is for those of you who haven't participated in a BodyPump 70- or BodyAttack 65-class yet. Awesome tracklists and choreography!

BODYPUMP 70 Sizzler: The key focus of BodyPump 70 is perfect timing. This means your body spends more time under tension and this will get you shape fast! The music in this release really ‘goes off’ - and keep an ear out for beats you’ve never heard before in BodyPump.Game on in the Squat Track! Challenge yourself with more resistance. Don’t be fooled by the slow start and the Pop-Rock nature of the track - the back half bites hard with four sets of Singles and Bottom Halves back-to-back to finish! Go a little bit heavier in the Chest Track - Infinity 2008 is awesome and builds anticipation before you pump it! The new tempo means your muscles will be under tension for the maximum amount of time.True Believer will inspire you to give it all you’ve got in the Back Track, before Christine Aguilera’s Keeps Gettin’ Better drives you through the Triceps Track. You don’t need but get ready to feel the burn in the Pushups and Kickbacks! Rock through the Biceps Track with Nickelback’s Gotta Be Somebody where Singles are the name of the game.
Take a deep breath before the Lunge Track. Sash! is back for this endurance track that is VERY intense and includes Lunges and Squats with heavy weight. Ouch! Another classic Rock track is in the house with Thunderstruck motivating you through the Shoulder Track. There’s a new move in the Abdominals Track - The Rotator Plank. Kanye West’s Love Lockdown is unlike any Abs Track - get ready for a dark, dim, sexy beat!

BODYATTACK 65 Sizzler: BODYATTACK® 65 is about challenging yourself and your members, and providing enough options so everyone can achieve their personal best! The music will keep your energy levels high and you’ll be moving continuously with hits from Fall Out Boy, Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga. That’s Not My Name provides the perfect energy for Track 2. This track has something for everyone with numerous options for both beginners and advanced members. You’ll be on fire in Track 3 with a huge amount of energy coming from the big moves and big music. You’ll reach your first peak with the new Squat Jump in Track 4, Tubthumping, before hitting the upper body with the Walking Back & Forward Plank in Track 5. This is a different way of conditioning the core and shoulder girdle stabilisers with gentle lengthening of the hamstrings as you move backwards and forward. Sing along to Rhythm Of The Night in Track 6, while getting up close and personal with your members as the class comes together on the floor for the Running Track. There’s work to be done in Track 7! Welcome on the tennis court! Be light and lifted in the Run and low and strong in the Bounces, like you’re waiting for a serve! Track 9 is challenging, with the energy pumping all the way from start to finish, but you’ll be motivated to keep at it with the aptly named Jump. An awesome peak for an awesome result!
