One Week

 

I had a very nice visit from Line and Mari yesterday and we ended up taking pictures out around the beach and watched Dan in Real Life.  I also made Kraft Mac and Cheese which they liked and we kos'd with potato chips, eventyr brus and små godt.  Tomorrow Didrik and Cathrine er hopefully coming to visit, but Didrik said he was getting sick, so hopefully he's better by tomorrow!  And I'll be visitng Hege tomorrow as well :)

I'm officially down to one week left in Norway.  I am SO thankful for everything that has been offered to me this year and for all the people I have met and for everything I have had the chance to do in Norway.  I have learned Norwegian.  I have befriended an entire class.  I have moved three times in eleven months.  I have climbed high mountains and swum in frozen lakes.  I have made a network of contacts here in Norway.  I have made lifelong friends.

I just needed to write something nice because I've been feeling like-----honestly, I've been feeling like crap today.  It's a scary thought that I won't be seeing these amazing people everyday like I have been for the past eleven months.  But at the same time - as my mother keeps telling me to make me feel better - I have people in the states waiting for my return.  I can't wait to see my American friends again, but it doesn't outweigh the goodbyes yet to be had with my Norwegian friends. 

On another note... I was interviewed by the newspaper the other day and here's the article from Østlands Posten:

....so that's where I'm at.
