Wow. I must say I'm a bit impressed. I haven't even posted anything yet and I already have 'followers'. Ah, I'm so popular! ...ees a joke...haha...anyway...
Now that I've finally gotten around to writing this bloggy thing...I'm not really sure what you all want to know so I'll just write some stuff and I guess you can just tell me what you find boring or interesting and whatnot.
Soooo Norway. I admit that Norway is not quite what I expected, but regardless I think It's wonderful! I've been here for four? Five? days...I've already lost count. It's like one of those movie scenes when the character has been drinking or doing too many drugs and the room starts spinning, that's kind of how I was/am...but without the drugs or alcohol.
A couple days ago Astrid, who will be leaving for canada soon, took me to Tusenfryd with a couple of her friends, Magnus and Bjørnar. Tusenfryd, if you don't want to look it up, is an amusement park, complete with rollercoasters, candy shops, the works. Anyway it was really fun, I forgot how much I love rollercoasters. Astrid has been really wonderful to me, showing me around Oslo and introducing me to people so I at least have acquantances when she leaves, which will be a very sad day for me.
When I came to Norway I thought it would pretty much be like America, just with people speaking Norwegian and better chocolate. That certainly isn't the case. The toilet for example. In order to flush it you have to pull up on this little nob on the top. It took me a really, really, really long time to figure that out.
Alright. That's all I'm writing about for now. But I start school on Wednesday so wish me luck!
(BTW this computer does not have automatic spellcheck so until I figure it out don't kill me for any spelling mistakes. Takk!)
