Hi there!
My name is Hanne. I`m a Norwegian girl who live in Oslo. I`ve always loved to write since I was little. My enthusiasm for writing got me interested in blogit. I`m currently in the process of writing my master paper (to be finished in September). I write my master paper in English. Blogit gives my an opportunity to develop as a writer in English because I can blog about anything I`d like. I bet you would like to know what I write my master paper about? I write about CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which is an idea saying that corporations have ethical responsibilities besides following the law. They have a responsibility for the environment, and a responsibility to treat the people who make the stuff they sell decent. As Spiderman said: "with great power comes great responsibility". This idea is actually my number one dedication I feel blessed that I`ve discovered my life`s passion and that I can dedicate my master paper to this passion!
What else am I into? I appreciate cooking with friends. (I`m a pretty ok cook, but I can`t always make time in my schedule for cooking.) I`ve always been a reader. I`ve read a lot of English literature as well as Norwegian classics. My favorite novel in English is the Color Purple. I`m into politics as well, and I`m very interested in the US presidential election. I`m a big fan of travelling! I spent the last spring semester in San Francisco, working as a trainee for the Norwegian State Department. I digged beautiful San Francisco, and hope to travel more in the US! I`m interested in the issue of self development because I strongly believe in the potential of ordinary people to grow, develop and change their lives for the better. Self development got me into the law of attraction "the secret". The law of attraction has really inspired me in my life! Meditation is important in my life, because I find that meditation makes me feel better and helps me manage stress. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week because I always feel a lot more energized when I exercise. Finally, I love to just hang out with my closest friends, hook up for a coffee latte, go to the movies, have a beer or just goof off and have a good laught. Well, that`s it for now about me. You`re welcome to check out my blog if you`d like to get a peak into my everyday life in Oslo!
