Heia!!!
how's everybody doing? im doing pretty well!
I got a bunch of birthday gratulations on monday, even though i took the "its Devyn-Reilly's birthday" thing off so people wouldnt be reminded... so most of the people were my friends in Norway and my family in the US, and Liz :) it was shocking!
anyway, tuesday was an easy day, sosiology was normal, then there was a test in Norwk/Religion so i was exempt ( XD ) and enjoyed a period in the library. then on my last class we went and watched the presentation from the Håkki t-shirt company. i couldnt really understand everything that he said, because it was in swedish... ugh. so i started reading my norwegian translation of "Dead Until Dark". :D im getting better at reading på norsk, but i have been underlining the words i dont recognize or understand... then i translate the words and write themin the margin with a number indicating which word goes with which translation.
(im watching a show on the history channel on the deadly sins and one of the historians said "American Puritanism is actually an offshoot of Radical Puratanism in Europe"... *pfff!!!* I think is is really funny since especially in Norway the American political left is still more right to the Norwegian right... we tend to always go to the extremes!)
after school was outI was soo tired that i decided that i really neededto go home, which was sad since i wanted to see Maja... :( but when i got home I managed to vaccuum and get my clothes in the washer before collapsing. sooo tired.
Wednesday was normal at school, though that was depressing. we were supposed to have Ski day on wednesday, so none of the teachers really had a plan for class. I got most of my paper on Angelmans Syndrom done! which is really very interesting.
after school i went to the pool really early and was met by a group of army men and an increasing number of kids... which wouldnt really be a problem except that the army guys ALWAYS use the diving boards which means us people doing laps have to make sure the idiots dont jump on us since they seem perfectly capable of it... in fact one guy just barely missed one of the guys swimming below. probably only a couple feet away from where he landed was another army guy's back or head... Silje and I were shocked and could only stare at them... it was acary!!! and the kids can be just as badsincethey also like to use the diving boards, they also dont really get the concept that if someone's swimming laps you should proably let tehm do so without getting in the swimmer's way...
but beside the exitment we managed to swim 1600 meters! yay us!!! after i got home i read some more and went to bed.
Thursday thanks to the 2nd grade having a test i had a free period instead of sosiology! then i had norwegian, well, my class had a nynorsk review so i just read and hung out. in realigion we began a german movie, which meant i had to rely on the norwegian subs... so that means i only understand a littleofwhat was happening... sigh. but still an interesting movie!!!
in history I had to help with a presentation... which was horrifying... I hate presenting på norsk... i feel so insecure. but the rest of the class was ok!
I had planned to meet Maja between school and dance! we ended up (after visiting the book store as we ALWAYS do) at the library! we sat there and talked about the stories we are trying to write. I restarted a stary that i started at the beginning of the year, i just changed the setting and some of the characters... :)it was fun just hanging out. apparently Maja's father was shocked about me and started interrogated maja via text... it was so funny! he asked for my name, age, hair and eye color etc which to Maja meant thinks like my favorite meal and drinks and such... slightly intimidating but funny at the same time! we decided that I should probably meet him sooner rather than later XD
then I had dance, which was fun! Morgana due to her hurt foot didnt come to dance since she wouldnt have been able to participate anyway... :( poor morgana. but it was fun anyway! we are learning different sombrero doning techniques, which are really fun and probably very funny looking on me since most of the men in the class are shorter than me, especially with my heels on. oh well! so fun anyway!
when i got home i was pretty tired, but there was some wonderfull tomato soup with eggs and macaroni noodles waiting for me :) om nom nom!!!
I stayed up too late, but thankfully I didnt have school today!!! my grade had a nynorsk test so i got to sleep in *happy dance*
I didnt really get to sleep in though, my host family is wonderful except forthe apparent disability to understand the meaning of quiet... especially in the mornings... *sigh* so i basically woke up atthe normal time, but i got to sleep a little after that. at 10 i started going. I had to clean up some and eat, before i went to Marte's.
I was very upset that the bus to the city was over 10 min late... and i arrived 10 min early for the origional time. but even though it was late i just barely managed to run to thepost office and pick up the package from home and get back to the bus station in time for my bus to Marte's. when i was on the bus i opened the package and started giggling. it was FILLED with my favorite package noodles! RAMEN!!! soooo happy!!! and all for me! i probably wont share...
i washed the house and windows and waited for Marte and company to come home while i tried to figure out when busess were arriving and such. when they got home i was very happy to see the chidlins! soo cute! Agnette is walking now! and after she woke up from her nap she was her normal bubbly self! soo cute!!!
then I caught the bus home. and ate some fish soup and have been relaxing except for this blog post...
anyway, i just checked the mayo clinic med school and they said that the average accepted student has a GPA of 3.85 (or atleast the average cumulative GPA is)... that's scary, ihave to get my GPA up!!! ARRRGGHHH!!! that's ok, i can do it... i will get into this school!!!
ok, im done, im going to watch more history channel!
vi snakkes!!!
