juleferie

today is the first day of winterbreak and tomorrow were heading up to Sulis, near Bodø... it should be pretty fun, i think... aside from the 16 or 17 hour car ride up... i think i may just kill someone. I also wish that I could spend Christmas here with Tristan... (maybe we just need to have 2 different christmases or something). I just saw him for the last time for a week and a half. tragic. wah. i miss him already. And a terrrrrible thing on my part, I forgot to give him his christmas present. FAEN! but break will be alright i think... i hope. im just really gonna miss tristan sooooooo bad. like horribly bad. like end of the world bad. gahhhh... Oh, and guess what. im worse in jenga than tristan is. omg. and i thought i was pretty good. but no... i was really bad. hahaha. we didnt even make it through 10 turns. hahaha. well anyways, i wont be able to write while im up north, but ill definatley write when i come back which is like the 30th of desember or something.

ha en god jul og et godt nytt år!

ENDELIG 17 ÅR!!

Today was the best birthday og my life so far. This is how it went....





9:30- I got up, without an alarm... a very positive thing about thursdays (no school until 11). it was a little strange I do admit, not being waken up by crazy family members singing happy birthday and such...





10:30- I walked to school in the freeeeeeeeeezing cold. It was -8 celsius with wind. I couldnt feel my legs and I hadda walk 3 km... but the sky was absolutely beautiful, so it was worth it.





11:00- I had norwegian class, and the whole class sang to me in norwegian. =) Super exciting.





11:40- Lunch time! Laura made 17 balloons with happy birthday on them that I carried around (as they were all popping). Tristan kept apoligizing that he 'forgot' my birthday present. It was so cute... cause hes a terrible liar, so he couldnt fake forget...





2:45- done with school, so I went into the carpentry classes cause Im in love with it there now. Then I went home, which was nice. I got to eat and do sudoku and clean my room!





5:00- Tristan came over!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! And he brought with him 8 beauuuutiful red roses. nothing can even begin to explain how much I love this boy. =)!!!! So I hung out with him the whole night and a little bit with my sisters and pappa. It was an aweeeeeeeesome day. Ill never forget it!

17 birthday balloons!

Desember ish happenings

So as I was walking around school today, I decided that I wanted to swith out of allmans fag (study subjects) and into the building classes. Their building is awesome. And theyre building playhouses and such. Its so cool. And it smells soooooooooooo nice. WOAH! Well, gotta go back to media class. Ill update later. =)

Desember. woah.

I can't believe that its December. today I was making cookies for a party tomorrow, and i just thought to myself... 'holy shit, im 17 soon and ive been in gone from the us for 5 months now.' WOAH! cause I left july 17th, and today is December 7th... so almost 5 months. Thats crazy. I like to sit and think sometimes how Ive changed since Ive come to norway. I cant even begin to explain. Im sure some people get a glimpse of it while Im on the phone with them and such, but they cant even begin to understand how different I am now. And Ill never be that girl I was before. No chance or desire at all. Things that have changed about me since I came to norway... lets see if I can just name some... nope, almost impossible. except for the obvious, I can speak another language, Ive become a lot more confidence, and Ive fallen in love. Three huge things in somebodys life. I just feel so alive in norway, something that I didnt ever feel in america. norway fits for me. i fit in norway.

Well last weekend I worked at tømte-tunet... a farm. It was quite fun. I like farms a lot. so exciting. this past week I had whole day exams. haha. that went... well. and I have german tomorrow. Im so bad at writing. but im suprisingly good at understanding now, maybe thats cause tristan speaks german to his parents and sister and such. hmmm. then this weekend, tomorrow, Im having a birthday party. that should be fun. and on saturday im going to oslo with maren, anders, marius, and i hope tristan can come too. and on sunday im going to eidsvoll bygningen(the place where the norwegian constitution was signed) for a little christmas thing with kids in my town. it should be fun.

well gonna go clean my room, Im very messy so it needs to be done on a regular basis. hahaha. so ill hopefully remember to write again. I always forget.
