random little pics of here and there on the cabin trip.

Today was a good day, except for the face that I had to run 3000 meters, and almost died. haha I finished second to last. I really thought I was going to pass out. I need to get into shape seriouslyyyyy. And I do think that I am going to start running, cuz it makes me feel better when I am done running :)

Today we are going to go to Camila's and work on a presentation of where we come from for her little sister. So that will be fun.

Still haven't put pics on here yet, so I'll try to do that tonight.

Ahh thats crazy, I cannot believe that I have been here for 50 days, that seems totally insaine to me. Haha.

Anyways nothing new, dont have the pictures loaded yet either. Will try to do that tonight.

Much love,
Emilyy

Day 49.

This weekend has been amazing. We went to the cabin, and went on a walk, and fished, it was so much funnnn. I took quite a bit of pics, but I don't have my computer. Just have my iPod, but I'll put the pics up later. Now gonna have TACOS!!!!
love yall,
Emilyy

Day 48.

Ahh its Friday!! So Happy!!!

Im leaving after school to go to a cabin. And there is no electricity or bathroom there. This will be a different experience, but I am so major excited :)

Yesterday I went to a cafe and got some coffee, and a waffle, and then the workers came for about an hour. That was really nice. And then they left, and I had to go talk to Ivar about some things, so I did, and I was at Ivar's when I realized that I didnt have my wallet, which has ALL of my stuff in it, but thankfully it was at the cafe, and the girl knew it was mine, so she had saved it for me. Haha thought that was pretty funny though.

Yeah nothing exciting. I had an English Test today, I dunno how I did though.

Love yall,
Emilyy

Day 47.

Today has been a long day. I rode my bike to school, and kinda sorta got lost, but then I figured out where I was.

The workers are gonna stop by today I think, so Im jamming in a cafe, drinking a lovely cappuchino, and listening to some chill music. :)

Day 46.

Nothing major happened.

Just went to school. And then to Maxi, and then to Maria's house.

So Language Camp was super amazing. There was 24 of us, and out of that, only 8 were not from the States Edna.
Oh goodness, how to explain it. I really cant, it was just one of those "had to be there" type of things. We lived in the hotel, and survived on chips and chocolate from the gas station, and the Joker, which was a small store right across the street. Im so excited for next month, we all get to see each other again. It was nice to be with kids who understood us. And it was weird being around normal people today. Kinda sad lol.

But today I realized that Im not really sad anymore. I have my moments, but like I dont really miss the life back home. Ive come to realize that I didnt quit living life, I just changed the setting and environment of the life I was living back in Texas...does that make sence?

Well off to bed now,
gonna ride my bike to school tomorrow :)
Oh, and the brother workers are coming to see me. Im really glad. :)
Love yall like crazzzzy.

Day 45.

So Language camp is over. I'm sad.

I just got home. Language camp ended at about 11/12ish today. But we didn't leave the hotel until around 2.
Ah it was so amazing. All of the kids were awesome, and it was nice to be with people who actually like understood everything that we feel/go through.
It was really hard though. 5 hours a day for 4 days, and then about an hour this morning, it was crazy, and my brain is still trying to take it in. I think I gained my weight back :(
But I think I'm going to start excersizing hardcore, maybe. If I can get myself motivated. lol.

I just realized what I miss the most. Singing at meeting and Convention. But they say that Christmas is hard and ect. I think I might get really homesick around Mt. Peak time. :'(
Gonna keep on truckin'. Bahaha I just didn't really say that.

Love yall bunches,
Emily

Day 44.

Today is Peace One Day. So to all my friends, sorry I cant text everyone, because I am in class, but just so yall all know, I LOVEEEE YALL!!!!

So as of now, I am supposed to know 1,000 words, which I probably do, I just cant remember them, and have a MAJOR hard time remembering everything because I start to think in Spanish. Its quite funny, because my Spanish is terrible. Haha its funny talking to Maria, aka Majo Majo. She laughs. hahah.

Got to pay attention now though. Learning time :) yayyy!!!

p.s. HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY JOHN!!! love you!!!

Day 43.

Language Camp. :)
enough said for now.

Day 42.

so, this life is totally rockinggg. im pretty sure that im just going to live here in the hotel with all of the exchange students, and just chill for the rest of our lives.

the hotel is awesome. and it is like the size of Bushland High School. actually bigger than that. mwahaha.

so this is pretty fun. we went swimming and that was pretty rockin. we go to a gas station and get food all the time. and we can play that one games that is like plastic soccor people on that little...foozzball?...is that what its called? and yeah we all just have fun and tonight they are opening the disco for us. ive never heard anyone say disco before. haha. anyways. we are learning a lot, and making new friends. its so much fun just chilling with the exchange students, but i gotta get ready for tonight.

love yall :)

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!

Day 41.

Language Camp is AWESOME. write more later.

Day 40.

Ahh, wow time is going by, isnt it.

Today is language camp, and i am OOBERLY excitedd!! As are all of the other exchange students here and Hamar i think! We are all ready to get some help and learn the language, cuz yeah.

Hm i went and talked to Ivar yesterday about everything. He gave me some advice, and told me to stick it out, so that's what im going to do, and just keep counting down the days. lol.

I had stopped riding my bike, but i rode it last night, and now wowww, i am sorreeee. ahaha. hmm dont know if anything majorly exciting has happened lately...

Oh, sorry to those who have been emailing me, i have gotten behind in replying, but i will eventually get you written back :)

I think that next weekend, i am going with Eli and her girls to their cabin, and then the first weekend of October, she is going to take me with them to Oslo to go shopping, and then i can stay there and go to meeting :) yayy!!!

Oh and i talked to Ivar about coming home in July, and staying for Convention here, and he said that he thought that would be okay, and it sounded good to him, we just have to wait until October or November to rebuy the ticket, and also talk to Arild, and Wenche to figure out when Convention is :) So i might get Happy '10 and Stokke '10. :)

Um not too much more things that are exciting, i dont think. i will let yall know how language camp goes though.

Love yall bunches,
Emilyy

Day 39.

oh goodness, i woke up too late, and had to take a shower this morning. i didnt miss the bus, thankfully, because i had my bicycle. :) yayy for my bicycle.

we leave tomorrow for Language Camp, i am more than excited!! :)

yesterday i saw something pretty funny, it was on a cig box, and it said "smoking kills" i laughed and laughed and laughed. and yeah.

im in math today, and its the only class i am going to, because i have Norwegian tutoring again. im glad for a short day, and then for the rest of the week i will be gone at camp :) it lasts from Thursday to Tuesday or Wednesday i think!! im glad i get to go though.

anyways, i should probably do math now, even though i have no idea what it says for me to do. lol. maybe ill know when i get back next week!!

Love yall,
Emilyy

Day 38.

Nothing too interesting happened today. Just went to school at 9.55. And then i went to Maxi.

I got my bangs cut. not all of my hair just my bangs. they look the way they do when i cut them. Haha but I will learn to like them again.

No plans really for the day. Might go to Sarah's, or just out to do something. I'm gonna go to Ivar's and talk to him about some stuff here.

Cannot wait until language camp, I leave on Thursday Morning!!!
Super hypeddd.

Love yall bunches and bunches!!!

Day 37.

Oh goodness, I am extremely tired today.

I missed my bus, but thankfully caught a later one, then i got off at the wrong bus stop, and had to walk to school, so i arrived to my class...30 mins late. haha you know how that goes. lol. i laughed it off though.

i forgot my cell phone, and my computer cord, and pretty much everything at my house today. i think i need some sleep.

i went to Martine's last night. That was really nice. we watched a movie, and her Dad made some chicken and these potatoes, it was delicious!!! She has a very nice family. She has an older brother, he is 2 years older than her. But she is very nice, and is one of my few friends here, i think she will be one of my best friends when I leave. But it was nice to hang out.

Anyways, my computer is about to die, so gotta get off of here.
Love everyone, and ill write more later when i get home.
Emilyy

Day 36.

I know that none of these pictures have anything to do with my trip of being here, other than the fact that they were taken at my going away parties. But I don't know if anyone wants them, here they are. And just so you know I think of everyone everyday. And miss yall like crazy, but I am honestly beginning to have the time of my life. When it gets hard, I just think to myself that I would be complaining about my life if I was in Texas too. Haha. It's kinda sad, I complain too much. Okay, no more complaining. haha yeah right. Anyways how is the Texas life for everyone? The other lives that are not in Texas?

Hey Aunt Sheila, can you tell Grandma that I put the picture of her sticking her tounge out on here? And then tell her just kidding. Haha. I wanna know what she says. Teehee.

Anyways, not too many plans for the day. I kinda need to get up and do something productive. I had fun last night. We went to a cafe, and then we played Presidents. I thought of those days we would sit in the Bassett's living room and play presidents again and again and again. haha. good times good times. I making some "good times" here too though.

I am making friends, just I think we are friends, I dont know what they think. They probably feel sorry for me so thats why they hang out with me. Haha. Just like home. Lollllll.

How is everyone back home?

Im having a hard time thinking of things that I have done. I cleaned my room yesterday, so now its all nice and tidy.

I just realized I've been listening to this song for about an hour and a half. Im not sure why. I like it though, not sure what it is though.

Anyways Cafe Uno, I think thats what it is called, is nice. I'm pretty sure its a Christian Cafe, but Im not for sure, but all the people there were nice. There was a guy that didn't speak English and so he was talking to me in Norwegian, but I had no idea what he was saying, so the girls would translate/talk to him for me, but he kept like looking at me like I knew exactly what was going on. Haha a few people do that, and it kinda makes me laugh and feel MAJOR stupid. But its all fun.

So today I had an epifinay, that is totally not how you spell that, but whatever, anyways, and I pretty much have these realizations everyday, and am like "oh, im gonna be positive" and yeah, but anyways, this is going to be ONE of the greatest experiences I have in my life, so yeah I might be major homesick, but if its going to be good, I think I should have to struggle a little bit for it. Isnt that what people say? Something about only the good things are the things we have to fight for? Right? Am I making sence?

Anywayyys, gonna not do anything particularly.
Love yall so much!!
and hope everyone has a nice meeting. :)

Day 35.

Last night was amazing. I had a blast with kids my age. Haha that sounds funny, but its really the first time that I've been able to do that. Anyways, nothing has happened today so far, since it is just 2.30 haha I need to go to sleep.

So I had my first bike wreck yesterday. My knee is burning now. But i was riding my bike, and the back tire caught on the curb thingy, and I just busted. Thankfully, my leg caught me. Hahaha. The bike was thankfully not hurt though. So thats good. I think I am either going to go to a cafe with some of the girls tomorrow, or I am going to go to watch a movie at a friends house. Or movies. plural. People think I'm weird because I haven't seen Starwars, is that one word or two? Or any of the Lord of the Rings. I just laugh and say "yeahhh"

Lol. I'll write more after something happends. Good night everyone, I love yall more than you know.
Emilyy


AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I just woke up to a spider crawling up my arm. :p ew. haha.

Today was a good day.
Went to Cafe Uno with Sarah and some of the people from church they are all very nice. We played presidents. It was fun, and kinda like I was home again. I do somethings here that make me miss home more than usual. But the days are good, and the nights are short, so it all works out quite well.

Eivind and Martha are quite strict. More than Mom and Dad. So its kinda hard to be out with friends, cuz they are all out quite late, hanging out. So I leave early so I can get home early. But whatever.

Over all today was a really good day.
:)
And I am happy. And tired, and glad that I am starting to make friends.

Im outttt.
Love yall bunchesss.

Day 34.

Today is a good day, its FRIDAY!! seems like yesterday was Friday. haha. i love Fridays. I gave a speech on Texas and Bushland today. That was fun. I only have one class today, because I dont have to go to Norwegian class because of the fact that I am going to learn Norwegian. hahaha. that sounds so goofyyy. lol.

I am going to go to Sarah's church. im not sure what religion she is. I am hoping to be able to go to meeting sometime later within this month. Next week I will be south of Oslo, but I will be at language camp.

hmm i dont have anymore amazing news. we had tutoring yesterday, that is frustrating cuz it goes so fast. its just like AHHHH. you know how that goes. or maybe you dont, i dont know.

Now i am in English. Well have been the whole time.

I'm really bored.

Annyywayyys. I'm learning how to be a Norwegian foreign exchange student. mwahaha. life is funnn.

Jean-Baptist is weird. haha just kidding. hes reading this. so i felt like putting that. i am so bored today. but it is a good day. and im just really tired, and want to go home and sleep. but i must stay at school.

OMG I LOVE NORWEGIAN WAFFLES. i like to eat them everyday. :) yes they rock.

My host father made me very angry last night. I wanted to punch him, but I didnt. Anyways he was like bashing our military. and our country. and then when I asked him politely to drop the subject because it was offending me, he tried to defend himself by saying that Martha was from the US and that blahblahblah. But he wouldnt drop it, so I just ignored him and didnt reply to anything he said. Honestly, I love the US and I loved President Bush, yeah he made some mistakes, but seriously he had a lot of people that had to pass what he did. He is just the one that got all the crap for it. Anyways. He made me angry. And none of that really made sence.

hope everyone is doing good.
love yall,
Emily

Day 33.

Today is my longest day I think. I don't have too many breaks. All are just 5 mins I think. Thankfully I get out at 1.35 though :).

All of us exchange students are going to go to my house today for tutoring I think. That will be nice. I don't know about the others, but I am SO confused and lost.

I am thinking about joining choir. Yayy :).

Well class is starting, hope everyone has a wonderful day. Love and miss yall bunchesss.

It's official, I love school. And I ultimately LOVEEE photography class :) and my teacher rminds me of Santa. Bahaha.

Day 32.

The bus drivers here seriously make my days. Well, majority of them. The grumpy ones make me laugh, so I guess they do all make my day.

Yesterday I went on a bike ride, and got TOTALLLYYY turned around I thought I was on the right road, but then it deadended, which it was not supposed to do, so I was a little lost.

I was running late this morning, but beat the bus by 20 mins. Haha. So now I'm just jamming to music.

The water this morning is exceptionally beautiful. It's a dark blue and looks like a painting. It looks really fake. Haha. But it's really pretty. The weather is nice too. It's clear skies with the sun shining, cool, but not frigid. It is nice :).

I have gym today. Haha it's funny cuz I like sweat like a cow here, and it's not even hot, so like in gym I'm like sweating the face off, it's pretty funny I suppose.

I'm feeling optimistic today :)

At 10.00 am today, I have been gone from Amarillo for 4 weeks, 2 days, 12 hours, and 4 mins. Wahhooooo!! Haha. I can do this for a year!!

Day 31.

I don't know if it is Norwegian culture, but there is no affection (that I see anyways) in the family I live with. It's weird, because I am neither a guest nor part of the family. To me, I feel like a burden, and don't actually understand why they volunteered to be a host family. But maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the Norwegian culture. But as of now, I live in a house, not a home, but a house. I want a home :'(. I'll survive I suppose.

Again, today I woke up, looked in the mirror, and wondered why I am here. I don't have an answer, but I'm trying to find one.

Yesterday was good so hopefully today is also. I went to Eli's house, and was able to talk to her for a while. I'm very welcome in her home, and she answers a lot of questions that I have because when she was younger, she was an exchange student.

One lesson I have already learned is to be thankful for all the annoying affection there is in Texas. Advice to my friends, give lots and lots of hugs, tell people you love them, accept new people, and smile at strangers. And when your parents say have a good day in the morning and give you a hug, hug them back. I know it is tons and tons easier for me to say that because I'm thousands of miles away from my "annoying nagging parents". But like Aunt Anna always tells me, you want to be thankful for what you have cuz youre gonna miss it when it's gone. And I do miss everyone and my friends and family, but it works out, because this is going to be "the best year of my life." or so they tell me. Haha but slowly becoming used to it. Don't remeber the feeling before homesickness.

Sarah invited me to come to her house whenever, when she's home, and also to go to choir with her, so I might do that. I think I might go to church with her too. I might be able to go to meetings once every two months, for the first few months is what they told me, so I'm a little bummyfaced about that. But it will be okay. It will all eventually work out the way it is supposed to have. That's what I'm trusting.

Day 30.

I biked to school. I almost died. It was funny.

Today we (the exchange students) are going to do something and then I am going to go to Anja's family's house.

I miss Bushland today. I miss lunch time anyways.

My English teacher asked me to give a presentation about the American/Texan school system, so I will do that on Friday! I'm actually kinda excited for that.

I am in photography class right now. I like my teacher. He is nice. He kinda reminds me of Santa's cousin. Bahaha.

How are yall doing?

Day 29.

Today was a good day :)

I went and got my bike. It is from my last host family, and they are about Aunt Anna and Uncle Joe's age. Leif (my future host father) is pretty funny. They keep telling me that they built their new house just for me, cuz they want to make me feel special. So I laugh a lot. And my room is attached to the balcony, so its pretty tiight so they told me I am going to have to practice my Royal Wave so when I sit there I can wave like a queen. Bahaha. The view is amazing though. :)


Last night was fun. Old people are so fun when they are all together and laughing. Its fun for me cuz I pretend I know what they are talking about, and make up little conversations about what they are talking about. It works until someone decides to translate for me. And then I realize how far away I was from what they were really talking about.We had some sourcream pudding stuff last night. It was actually really good. You eat it with cinnimon and sugar on it. So that was really good to try. And then I was STUFFEDDDD. haha. And they brought out more food. I seriously thought I was going to EXPLODE. Thankfully I didnt. Oh and then Stynard [that is so not how you spell it, but yeahhhh.] he is a baker, and he made me a really pretty cake, and it was delicious, but I was so stuffed I only had a tiny piece. They make fun of the amounts I eat here. Its kinda weird, but I dont eat very much. Guess whattt??? I've lost 10lbs since I've gotten here!! I'm pahrettyyy hyped. mwahaha.

This is kind of a random thing to put in this blog, but this is something I thought Austin would like. This is the "mechanical" part of the school. And behind where I took this picture, there is a shop where they work with metal and stuff like that. But all of those cars, they work on through out the school year. It's mainly all guys in this part of the school, but there is a few random girls I think too.

This is the house that I am living in and I will be here until November I think.

This is the yard. Martha (host mother) keeps a garden. It looks really nice. A lot of flowers. The yard is quite big. I think they have 4 acres of land, but I'm not sure. :) They live by the lake tho. It's a short bike ride, or a medium walk down to the water, so that is nice.

This is the Kitchen. I haven't cooked anything yet, but I did cut up some potatoes for supper one day. My host brother went to cooking school for a year. So he cooks a lot. He also was a foreign exchange student in Japan, so he sorta understand what I'm going through. Except he said he didn't really get homesick, and that is like all I am. Haha. It's getting better slowly though. My host mother asked why I thought I was so homesick, and I told her about how usually I'm with the friends like ALL the time, so she said there is a way they can figure out for me to go to Oslo once a month or so for the first few months or so. And later too if possible.

There are two tables/Diningrooms I guess. One is used when there are a lot of people over I think. We haven't used that table yet though. The one on the left though is the one we use with the family here. It is comfy, but we also eat in the Livingroom while they watch TV or we use our computers in there too.

The Livingroom. We sometimes eat in here. Depends. But at night (usually) on the weekdays we sit in there and watch random TV shows. Majority of the are American so I understand or have seen them before. I usually go to bed before they do though.

This is the Laundry room. It's kinda messy in this picture. It usually isn't. But the drying rack is the picture on the right. People mostly use the drying racks. There is a dryer, but it isn't like the dryers we have. Martha (host mother) said that the dryers here aren't nearly as good as the ones we have in the states. When the weather is nice though, like today, you can hang your clothes on the clothes line outside. I did that today. That was probably funny to watch cuz I was trying to figure out how to hang Robert (host brother) his tshirt that was kinda wierd. Haha.

This is the bathroom. There is only one

bathroom. Well actually there is two in this part of the house that we live in, but the other one is down stairs. I'm not in the bathroom that much though. I usually just get ready in my room. So it's funny because Eivind (host father) is always like "Emily the bathroom is open!!" and I am already ready except I have to go brush my teeth or something. Haha. But it is the only bathroom that has a shower in it, so I do use it to shower. But that's mainly it.

Okay, so this is my room. I think that the door is pretty tiight. haha. It is the green door. I like it, reminds me of something that people get their pictures take infront of. Haha. My room is kinda messy, so I am sorry, I suppose I could have made my bed before I took the pictures, but I didn't, sorry. And the stuff in my closet, the top three shelves are mine. And then from the white and black dress to the right is mine, the rest is not. Its just random articles of clothing that were left in there, but thats okay. Haha. Yeah I used to think I didn't have much clothes, and now I really dont haha. Its okay though because it doesn't take me as long to figure out what I feel like wearing. Haha. And then I have my desk. But its just cluttered. Its not really organized. I suppose I should probably keep it that way though. Its not that bad.

Love yall honey bunches of oats.

Oooh that sounds REALLYY yummy.

anywayyys, love yall,

Emily

Day 28.

Saturday, hmmm got to sleep in today. That was nice, well sorta, I kinda woke up at 6 anyways because the sun came up, but you know how that goes.


I don't really have any plans for today, just sleep some more I suppose.
Oh I am going to one of the Rotarian's house tonight to eat supper. They both were on the Finland trip. I think they are probably Grandma and Grandpa's age or so, possibly older. But they are very nice. They both are very smily.


Well today is a weird day. I actually woke up, got up, looked in the mirror, and asked myself "what am I doing here?" and I couldn't come up with an answer. Man a year seems like a LIFETIME. But I suppose I can make it. I've already been here a month. Or almost a month.


I'm not learning Norwegian very easily. It really frustrates me. And I think the reason for me not learning it, is that I never really had the desire to learn Norwegian, actually I dont think that I even knew Norwegian was a language before I found out that I was going to come to Norway, but you know how that goes, or you don't. Hahaha.


My host brother, Robert, kinda reminds me of Laura. I figured that out the otherday. And I almost busted out laughing but I didn't cuz then my host family would really think I was crazyyy.


Today is another rainy day. It's not raining now though I think it was earlier, but I was sleeping. I've slept a lot today. But I'm still tired. haha. Actually I am back to the way I feel when I am at home and I am in school, kinda just like I'm floating around on a litte cloud all the time. Except this time I have no earthly idea what is going on around me. So I think about things that have happened, and sometimes laugh during class, and some of the people that sit around me are like "uhhh what are you laughing at...you dont understand the teacher do you?" bahahaha. jk. not really.


I really wish I had a bike. I would love to go outside and ride my bike today, but I suppose I can do that latahhhh. I think I'm getting my bike tonight. It will be my baby. Hahaha.


So how was the game last night? The Randall/Plainview game? Or is that who Randall played last night? I kinda miss marching season, even though I didn't know how to play. I did like marching though, that was extremely fun. Or maybe everyone that was in band made it fun. It's kinda sad, sometimes I miss Bushland, and then I think about it, and then I don't anymore. mwahahaha.


And still, how is everyone doing?

Day 27.

IT'S FRIDAYYY!!!! Yayy!

It's raining today, so I got to wake up to the sound of rain :). It was nice.

Today is quite chilly. It is nice though. It's funny because everyone here hates the rain and everyone comments on how the gray skies are kind of annoying and depressing and sad, but they kind of make me happy and like jittery, kinda. Maybe I'm just weird.

I get out at 2.25 today, so not a totally long day. I am just chilling in the library for now and I am going to talk to my Norwegian teacher about it being okay if I don't come to that class because my host mother is going to tutor us exchange students in Norwegian around the time that I have that class. The school isnt going to give us a course I dont think, because they dont have enough money. It is funny, that always seems to be the case no matter what school you go to. haha. but yeah, they keep telling us they are working on it, and most of my teachers are trying to get us some help.

It is kinda funny. My host father always speaks to me in Norwegian, like I'm supposed to understand of something. But the thing is, even if I have emersed myself, I dont know what any of the words mean. It's like just because I have stepped foot into Norway, I automatically understand the culture and language. It really kinda makes me laugh because I think they all think I know what is going on. I dont though. hahahaha.

I still havent gotten my bus pass, because my councelor didnt do something that he was supposed to, and Martha is kinda mad because she said that everything should have been done the first week I was in school. But I dont know.

I just sit there and listen to them all ramble on in Norwegian.

IM GETTING A BIKE!!!! I'm superrrr excited. haha. Yuhhh.

I just found out we have to take pictures today. Which is kinda funny, cuz I didnt do my hair today. I just threw it in a ponytail. Mwahaha. I love this place.

Anyways, still how is everyone??

Day 26.

So I realized i'm a day ahead if what I should be, because I counted the Sunday that I left as day one, so actually I've been gone for 25 days, but yeah I don't know what I'm talking about...

I'm getting good at the whole "travel by bus" thing. It's kinda nice, just not fun when you have to wait an hour a lnd a half cuz you accidently missed the bus you were supposed to take by 2 mins. Haha that was actually kinda funny. It's nice too cuz I have to walk to the bus stops so that's a 15 min walk in the morning and then about a 10 min walk after school, sometimes more, and then another 15 min walk to get home, so it's nice cuz it actually kind of forces me to get some fresh air.

I'm not sure if it's helping me to lose weight though, cuz I have kind of resorted to eating A LOT of sugar. I like CHOWED down on a huge chocolate bar, I actually enjoyed it, it was weird. Yuhhh. Mwahaha.

I halfway know my way around this small town. Everyone laughed when they heard I had gotten lost. They all told me I was the only person they had heard of that had been able to get lost here. Hahaha. I'm special :]p.

Anyways, off to school I go :)

Day 25.

School until 11.30, so it's gonna be a short day. It would be longer but I'm skipping gym cuz I forgot my clothes, and I don't think it would be very proper to play basketball in a skirt. Off to class now.

So it was a good day. The sister workers stopped through Hamar, so I got to visit with them, that was nice. :)

Oh, hey so how is everyone? Yall all read about my life, but I can't read about yours...:( so if possible leave comments/updates of the lives, :) *hinttt* haha.

Love yall,
Emily

Day 24.

I miss home today. A LOT.

It's a short day so that's good. I think I might just go home and sleep. :)

Tomorrow will be a good day.
