Have YOU ever been googled?

Please exscuse my failure at posting yesterday, the internet was wonkers and I couldn't figure out how to fix it... that and there was kineke (sp) brod and appelsin marmalade... :)

So this weekend I met Guro! She makes me feel short, and inactive, because she is a great håndball player... If we had handball in the states I would have definitly played. think soccer but using hands and not feet, and lacross without the sticks... FUN FUN FUN!!! I would have really enjoyed myself, but since these crazy norwegians have been playing since they were about 4-6 if I tried to start I would be clobbered... sigh... Mum would have enjoyed it too!

We had Grandiosa pizza! yum, and slightly ironic since I always thought that we would make our pizza, not buy it. That was friday evening... actually night, it was about 9-10 when we made it, but we stayed up another hour due to the adreniline and caffiene. :D

Saturday I slept in until about 10. at 11 Karro came to get me because there was a woman from Portland (our PO, as in in ME ) that was competing in the American Gladiator! She did win the gladiator prize! GO PO MOMS!

Then I managed to get ready in 20 min to go to a håndball game, which was thrilling! Then we came home and had grot! yummy! after a quick nap, Karro came pounding on my door to inform me that across the field infront of the house there were a couple of moose! he exact words were "Devyn! DER ER ELGER!" I would have taken a picture, but the zoom on my camera wasn't good enough... sigh. Then we went to another håndball game, and came home for home made pizza.

I finally finished the 3rd season of true blood! and just to re-iterate... I AM AN ERIC FAN FOREVER!!!! :D

Sunday we slept in again, but then had a wonderful breakfast that involved bacon... but the promised pankaker were absent... sigh. After breakfast Guro, Karro and I looked at pics for my russekort! I will send some to people if they want them, when i get them... :) Then Guro left to rejoin her team and go back to Tromsø, and Karro and I went swimming in the Grottebadet!

The pools were built inside a mountain, they were beautiful and the ceilings were so high! The company that Odd works for was the company that actually escavated the building... cool huh? So we went swimming, and were having a great time until silly me decided to try and climb the iceberg floaty climby thing that was tied down in the middle of the diving pool... I am not sureif the surface was made to resemble and actually iceberg, but when I finally managed to get to the top I tried to get around to the side that you can slide down but didn't quite get there... I ended up slipping down one of the climbing sides that was thankfully empty except for the one little boy who happened to be in the water right under my face.

My jaw smacked into the top of his head at high speed, and my immediate thought was "OH MY GOD I JUST KNOCKED OUT SOME SMALL CHILD AND NOW HE'S DROWNING! I HAVE TO CATCH HIM AND SAVE HIM!" But because he was a child he was still smiling and happy and when I asked him if he was okay he reasurred me he was great!

Thats when I felt a shooting pain in my jaw, and my wire retainer poked my tongue. I had blood in my mouth and was getting slightly dizzy. uh-oh. I got to the edge of the pool to find that all of my front bottom teeth were (are) loose, and the cement that bonded my retainer to said teeth had been pulled off when my upper teeth went smashing into it... It felt like I had gotten braces for the first time. ouch!

We also had reindeer meat that night, but guess who couldn't manage to chew it? :(

The next morning Odd brought me to Karro's orthodontist to see if he could fix my retainer. He took one look at it and said "oh! that's easy!" and 5 min later my retainer was re-affixed to my teeth, good as new. The best part? It was free!!!! the worst part (besides the pain) I got to school on time... :/

School was school, though in my last class, which is norwegian for the exchange students, I got very very bored and very very hungry. so, I asked på norsk if I could go across the street to get myself a pølse. He said "selvføgelig!" (of course!) and I got to leave for 10 min... :D I know it is helpfull for my friend/commerade from Italia to have that class, but im not sure if my commerade from new zeland is actually trying... oh well.

I went home after that and Karro and I watched Miami Ink, which ison every weekday at 4, then NCIS which is on right after that ends. We always have middag (dinner) near theend of Miami Ink and the beginning of NCIS, but we catch most of it!

Karro and I were planing to go to her favorite store today to go shopping, but there isn't a buss around that time for her to come... so it sounds like next monday we will go shopping, which is kinda unfortunate because I am finding I need more long sleeved shirts... 5 just isn't enough... and there are sales this week so I can get a few for around 100 nkr each... which is really exspensive but completely worth it.

In sociology today I learned that the 2nd grade class (what they call the 12th grade) I was origionally in had known about me since last year... they had googled me and found my facebook so they saw that pic of me... So now i feel kinda bad that I switched into the 3rd grade, but not bad enought to switch back... I am going to enjoy being russ!

We also had a conversation about birthdays, because today is my half-birthday. 6 months from today I will be a legal adult... though not completely independant. I will be the legal drinking age in Norway (though the likelyness of my drinking is slim) and I will be the normal age for graduation in the states... but still a year too young here... lol

SO, since I'm in the middle of class (quite literally) I should probably stop here. I'll let you all know if I broke down and went to find a couple of long sleeve shirts (and possibly a hoodie) without my darling host sister, who is still trying to annoy me, and still failing dismally. Thanks G. :)

Until next time! Ha det!
