We've moved!

 Hei Hei! 


It is Wednesday, and I am currently sitting in the lounge/kitchen area of the quarantine house at Agder (My school). 

Picture for reference. That is Noah's knee is the bottom right.

The last time we spoke, I was still in quarantine with no hope of leaving anytime soon. Yesterday. Tuesday, Marianne (The NLC teacher) worked her magic and got me out of quarantine. She picked up Liv and I from the hotel and we made our way to Agder. Liv is another NLC student from Alaska. Once we got there, I tossed my bags in my room and headed down to the lake. Keegan, Yhan, and I swam. Refreshing. Crisp. Chilly. But worth it. I got my first full night of restful sleep, and this time I actually slept when it was dark so that's a win. I woke up this morning, made a real breakfast, tea and everything. And then a group of us walked to the Kiwi. What is the Kiwi you may ask. It is a small chain grocery store here in Norway. Lots of fresh produce and interesting drink choices. 

My stupendous breakfast (Word choice by Noah).

A big avocado. 

Keegan attempting to open laundry detergent. He broke it. In two places actually. 

After that grueling trip (A 20-minute walk haha), I took a nap, and then a group of us took a hike down to the Sea. Here are some pictures, it's stunning. 

From left to right. Keegan (Indiana), Me (Minnesota), Yhan (Texas). 

Tomorrow we move into the dorms! I am excited to officially unpack and wash my clothes so not everything I wear is wrinkly. Dorms have two students, so I will have a roommate from another class that is Norwegian. They do this so that we can practice our Norwegian often! 

Ta-Ta for now.

It's my dorm!

 Hei Hei!  It is now Friday, yesterday we hauled our luggage up the hill into the dorms. Very exciting. Being able to fully unpack everything was a big relief. This post looks like it's gonna be mostly pictures. I am not in the writing mood today. As you will hear about in my next post, I just had a large meal and my eyelids are getting heavy (despite the name I took today, whoops). Anyways, pictures.  The dorms are split into sides A and B. There are 3 levels on each side. My room is B311, which is on floor 3, right on the end. There are 2-3 dorm rooms in a pod, and each pod shares a shower and a bathroom. My pod only has two dorms with two people in each dorm. I have yet to meet my roommate. The majority of the students move in on Sunday. A little scary.  A view from the door.  This is me. It's nice to have a sink in the room.  My clothing. I stole hangers from all around the campus. My little side of the room. Many pictures. I had a dream last night that...

Let's Get Back to Oslo

 Hey everyone! Long time no see! I am thriving over here in Norway (Most of the time). Missing my family and friends like crazy, but otherwise I keep myself busy. I haven’t posted for a few week because the NLC class was prepping for our Agderlørdag. Agder is the name of our school, and lørdag is Saturday in Norwegian. So Agderlørdag is when one of the classes in our school entertains the rest of the students and staff for one Saturday evening. It’s super fun, but pretty stressful when it is your classes turn. Anyways! We had ours last night, the 11th of December. It went super well, but I will tell you more once I’ve gotten pictures and stuff.  But for now, let’s talk about the rest of my Oslo trip from a few weeks ago! I am actually going to attach our itinerary so you can follow along with the day if you want haha. It is in Norwegian though so good luck 😂.  View from the walkway next to the national theatre.  View from outside the opera house!  My lovely fri...

Pictures from Oslo! Part 2

Image
  Helena, Sophie, and I after a night at a friends. As you can tell, most days were rainy and foggy.  We went to an art exhibit at a nearby art gallery. It was super interesting and I ended up paying way too much to buy one of these books haha 1st softis of the day. This time I tried it with blueberry and sprinkles. Very good. 2nd softis of the day. Stunning. Beautiful. Amazing.  I bought this dress for $10 from a thrift store! My aunt Heather has always been a big fan of thrifting, and she even thrifted both of my prom dresses! When I see things like this, I always think of her. I ended up cutting the sleeves off which improves it quite a bit haha. Here we have some coconut curry that Marlene made! Absolutely delicious. Found this at a local bookstore Photos from an overpriced photo booth   Tuva, Sophie, and I taking the subway at 2am Little part near our apartment in Drammen. Me sleeping on the train. There’s Xoan in front of me too  Uff and Fretex were the go...
