I WONT GO BACK UNLESS I'M COMMITED!!!

There is an explaination... But you all have to wait until we get there.

SO! Tuesday... It's kinda blurry... I guess that it's a trend... BUT I KNOW SOMETHING HAPPENED!!!! *runs to get journal... skims* OKAY! I remember now.

SO! I happened to only have one class, 'cause my Norsk lærer was sick... :D So, Weronika and I went down to the city for a little, I got some new earrings :). (speaking of money! I counted yesterday and I still have half of what I came with! I'm so thrifty :) ) then I went back to school to go to a meeting for students interested on going on exchange. The Italian girl showed up too, but the girl from new zealand didn't... even though she was the one to tell us about it... when asked later she said she didn't know where it was, it wasn't like there weren't signs on everyother class room door that had the one word she should know since it should be her master status (sorry, Sociology is coming back...). UTVEKSLING STUDENT... ok, 2 words... but really...

Then I went home and after supper went to a BBQ for Karro's class... It was fun.we had marshmellows and played truth and dare on my ipod... which i think helped her class's opinion of me which is "very nice!" There was a sign on the way up to the little hut that had the words " fylle folk i skog " under one of the pics of those people often seen on trafic signs that had him crawling to a bottle... I guess very few people notice it, so I kinda want to adopt it...but I resigned myself to taking a pic with Karro's phone, so when she gets back I'll upload a pic so you all will believe me. :)

Wednesday. I had 2 classes... unfortunatly there is a free period between my classes... But I discovered the library, and the room with desks and slightly plushy chairs. It's unfortunate... they seem to have more slightly plushy chairs and textbooks in that library than they have books to read at ones pleasure... :( Oh well, at least I have manga :D

Weronika came over after school. I managed to figure out how to use the coffee maker, though it took a little to find everything I needed. But I made her coffee and logged onto my american FB to show her pics... Only one person was on, so thankfully I didn't feel obliged to start a long distance conversation that had a probability of making me feel homesick... She really liked the pic of G making a rather strange face at Dad who has a huge pair of earphones on... she just wouldn't stop laughing. :) She had work, so whe went to that, then came back at about 8:30 for vaffler. Which you don't eat with syrup in Norway. Nope, you eat it with brunost or sugar, and butter. :) Very yummy.

Yesterday I got out of school and went to a birthday party for one of Karro's cousins who turned 50. He is recovered and is no longer living in the psyciatric hospital (ward... whatever it was) but he had it there. It smelled like a cross between a dentist's office and somehting to eat. Weird. I met an artist who is taking a paid leave from where ever he is working, because he needs a little help... he was very chatty. So if you didn't guess this is where the title of todays post comes from.

Karro and I were kinda bord and a little wierded out, so we escaped to the playground of the kindergarten across the parkinglot. We did have to jump the fence to get in, but I don't think anybody would have minded... It wasn't like we were vandalizing it, we were very obviously playing. :) But we eventually needed to go back, and decided to take a trip to the basement... which was EXTEMELY freaky... It kinda reminded me of how Uncle Charlie's 3rd floor bedroom was when I tried to stay there... 8/

We got back very late, since the party was in Sortland and we needed to take the ferry. But once we got back I did the HMWK due in the morning and made myself lunch and breakfast. I have a mattpakke everyday for lunch, which is usually cheese, butter and whatever meat (usually ham, but i really like the Dansk Salami) we have in the fridge. I have been eating brunost, butter and bread for breakfast as well, but when we have it I eat Prim, which is brunost that is the consistancy of peanut butter and rather sweet. yum :)

So, it turns out I didn't have to stay up 'till midnight to get the HMWK done (it was assigned that day! And I went to the birthday party right after school so it really isn't my fault! I had already said I was going!) 'Cause the group I was supposed to tell about socialism decided we were going to sit in on another group and get the info. yay! but also *facepalm*

I had two tests today. One in Sociology and the other in Biology. I managed to understand the first question on the sosciology test, so I got to bring the rist home and I will finish it. And I got all but the last question on the bio test, but that's because I ran out of time and really didn't understand what it was asking. :/ oh well... I did my best! :)

Guro is coming today, she has a håndball game at 9... so I might be using the coffee machine to regain some aptitude to think... So I will finally meet my older host sister. :)

Things to note: I have managed to talk a little about the differences in the political system in Norway and the US! I don't think I make myself sound like too much of an idiot yet! I have also been asked about the public school system, and I'm unfortuanatly not so knowledgable about that topic. My school is wonderful, and thankfully doesn't follow with the traditional HS... !!!! :D So far everybody is rather shocked that CBHS doesn't have any sports teams besides the ultimate frisbee team. I did expain that students interested in doing a sport can go to another public HS team, but they still were shocked. I also pointed out that it would take quite a bit of each class to get proper sports teams... we're just a little small... they thought that was funny.

I have also fallen in love. There is a commercial that admits that it is only propaganda. The song that plays while showing you it's wonderfull creamy and delicious flavors (and little sugar!) is a happy kinda dreamy tune that repeats "this is propaganda" over and over again... LOL! Maybe it's on Youtube... let me check. yep... here's the link! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjjKM68PHjU
LOVE IT!!

Okay... coffee is calling me! have a wonderfull weekend!
