First taste of Norway.

I had my first taste of Norway and it was delicious. Norwegian chocolate is amazing and is going to make me so fat when I get there, my host family was nice enough to send me a Norwegian learning booklet which I am failing miserably at and a block of chocolate (Which is already gone). I already love my host family they are so nice and helpful and I can't wait to meet them.

So yummy!!

I had my pre-departure orientation a few weeks ago. It was alright, wasn't greatly exciting but fun to chat with people who are in the same boat as you. We just sat in a circle and talked about expectations, culture shock and stuff like that. There wasn't any one else going to Norway there, though there was France, USA and Netherlands.

Also I got some exciting news today, I will be arriving in Norway on January 5th, which means I will be leaving on the 4th, which means there is only 64 days!!!! I don't have an itinerary yet because it is still being organised but I should be given options to choose from soon!!!

With everything almost in place it's beginning to feel real and I find myself thinking of all the people and things I'll miss, but then remember what an amazing opportunity this is and it's only a year and everyone will be here when I return.

I'm still faced with the problem of finding clothes, so far I have one pair of thermals. So I am in need of some serious shopping. Though my host family is letting me borrow some clothes because they don't think I will find something warm enough here, which I believe. I don't know if I could ever find something warm enough!!!!
