Just as a atarting statement I have no idea how to write a blog and will most likely not be very consistent in writing. But to all of those people interested you can follow me.
Currently I am sitting in the breakroom on the sofas and I have just put my feet on the table. I feel as though I am intergrating rather well into the Norwegian way and things are going good and beginning to feel normal. I really wish I had begun a blog a little earlier so everyone knew my previous thoughts and feelings. I think I will take this time for some reflection on the events that have happened up until now.
The travel to Norway was a long and somewhat confusing experience and I am surprised I didn't end up missing my plane in Germany, but I got here. After arrival at Oslo intl. I had a moment to think about family and friends back home while sitting on the hard concrete ground and looking around and the wood and glass interior of the airport, we were waiting for a while for the Americans to arrive, and as soon as I saw the yellow shirts comming out of the arrival gate I was fully stoked and excited for the arrival camp! We were all packed on to a bus and taken to the conference hotel, I was rather scared of Noah and his fasination with my accent, and I knew we were going to be rather epic comrades. The arrival camp is all but a blir to me filled with fantastic memories of warm, friendly and like minded people, it was an amazing experience that I will never forget with many lifetime friends made. After the three days of fun and madness that ended in a wonderfull bittersweet goodbye to all of the great new friends that I had made, all overshadowed by the uncertainty of whether or not we will all meet again.
I had alot more on my mind on leaving, I was excited to meet my awesome new host family! And as I boarded the plane to Flørde airport from Oslo, I took another moment to think of my family and my friends back home and all of the new mates I had made, I boarded the plane and all of the thaughts seased, and I was fully looking forward to seeing my host family and knowing where I will be living for the rest of the year.
After a fifty minute plane ride and nearly shitting myself landing in Førde airport, which is conveniently placed between two mountains giving plane goers the entrancing sensation of plummiting to their deaths. I got off the plane and looked around for the entrance to the small building and as I walked to the door I saw my new mother for the year Heidi Rimmen wearing the classic bloodtrack attire and I knew straight away that I was comming to an awesome family! after an hour or so drive back to Eikefjord, I was insanely tired and needed sleep, but I was really excited to meet my whole family! Needless to say the Rimmens are an awesome loving family that I feel honoured to be a part of, I could not have got a better family.
Throughout my time here I have had ups and downs but mostly ups! And I have felt I have had to grow up very fast. Adapting to the changes in culture and language is really tiring but I keep trying every day. The only down I can think of is diving at halvhesten and then fearing for the life of my testicles a few days later. Don't worry everything is okay, but try asking me that in the car to Førde hospital after Heidi had told me that people sometimes need surgery after trauma to the nutsack! Thanks Heidi! haha
I really cannot say alot more. All of the elements are working against me my computer is screaming at me ''dårlig batteri!'' and I am not sure when my next class is. So I think this is the end of the recap segment of my blog. :)
Hade!
