Uke Fire (4)

So this is my fourth week in Norway... and I've just begun my second week of school. I'll start back with week one...

Uke en (1)
AFS camp. All of the Afs kids in the SE part of Norway had a week long camp in Skjeberg (shay-berg)At this camp I met my best friend Maren, who unfortunately lives 35 min away by train and I'm not allowed to see her until after Christmas. Anyways, after a week of learning Norwegian and meeting new friends from across the world, I headed off to my family.

Uke to (2)
The last week of summer vacation, ick. But, it was fun. I spent my first day with my family at a childrens day at a farm making pinnebrød (stick bread) and I ended up in the local newspaper! I also met a lot of family and a few kids before school started. I saw the movie The Simpsons with Heidi and Ola, a few neighbors... I was really fortunate to meet some people before school started, then I wasnt completely clueless on the first day.

Uke tre (3)
School started. AH! School in Norway is really easy though, at least so far. Theres an open campus, which is suuuuper nice... and its close to downtown Eidsvoll, so my friends and I walk there during our breaks or after school, etc. I have managed to make a bunch of friends this first week at school and hung out with them over the weekend. So everything here is great and friends are awesome.

Well, now its my second week of school and school isn't stressful at all, which is nice... i finished today at 13:45.. yessss! And I start at 8:25 so its not a long day at all, although I sometimes finish at 16:30. Anyways, some of my friends here are: Marius, Trina, Anders, Tristan, Ellisiv, Yi Ren, Ola, and a bunch more but I actually don't want to type them. The culture here isn't much different but the teens get so much more freedom which is nice. The only hard part is the language, which I'm learning. In fact, I've been trying to speak no english, but its hard.

Norwegian Lesson:
(easy but very important to know if you're an exhange student)
Jeg er så forvirra (yei are so for-ve-rah) = I am so confused
Han ser ut som en ku (han sayer ohht sum en coo) = He looks like a cow.... (also very important)
