Week Three

This week has been much more normal, not so crazy. Things are starting to feel a lot more like home. Here's the week in a quick list:

• Toured the court house and had a lecture by the head judge
• Worked on class paper with Katie and Catherine
• Lecture by Inger on welfare
• Talked with Stian about field studies in class
• Swimming in Lake Mjøsa  Katie Catherine Magnus and Gonzalo

In to the water, Katie is in pain

Finally I made it over to the Island

• Paper writing in the loudest library of my life
• Dancing at the discotech!
• Finishing papers
• International Coffee hour and FREE waffles
• Movie Night with the contact group
• Late night dinner making with Katie Gonzalo and Magnus
• Sleeping in super late on Friday and Saturday
• Sat in the sun on the dock 

Not a super exciting week but it has been nice. So far I haven't been too terribly homesick, just a little at times. It helps that I have made such good friends since being here. Katie and I have come to realize that we share the same life at times (same allergies and same stumble upon preferences). I think with out the close freindships I have made with all of the Americans and with everyone who is generally mentioned on here, things would be a lot harder. I miss everyone at home but I am having a great time :D 

Next week I will be travelling around Norway on an excursion for class we are going to Røros, Trondheim and Kristansund which are all in the North Central section of Norway. We will be visiting politically important places, historically important places and some places that Inger thinks are important for class. It should be really fun and really exhausting. My plan is to take a lot of pictures and blog about it when i get back since I doubt i will have internet. 

I didn't say this before but for those of you that read this regularly (sorry the posts are not consistent) if you have questions or want to hear more about anything feel free to leave a comment at any point.

3 Observations of Today

1. Group made dinners are cheaper, more delicious, more nutritious and generally more fun. 

2. Skate board kids look the same in every country 

3. I love to sleep (during the day)
