As of Thursday I have been in Norway for one week. It has been a very tiring week, but one full of new and exciting adventures. I started school on Tuesday and surprisingly I wasn't as nervous as I usually would have if I was in Australia, the teacher did make me stand in front of the class for 15 minutes while he questioned me, that was a little excessive but not too bad. I have a lot of free periods during school so I spend a fair amount of time sitting in the cafeteria. School is very different in comparison to my old one. For starters it isn't all girls and there are no uniforms (I really LOVE uniforms, I realise now when trying to find an outfit everyday just how great they are) people dress really nicely for school, also in school they use their laptops which means I get to sit playing games during class because I have no idea what they are talking about. Also school has two campuses one on each side of town each on top of a hill, these are not little hills they are very large and I end up puffing when ever I have to cross to the other campus.
With the combination of walking between campuses sometimes and going for a walk pretty much every day I can feel myself becoming fitter already :) My family also eats really healthy so I shouldn't come home with any extra exchange weight YAY!!
I have made a new worst enemy... ICE, I absolutely hate it, possibly the most slippery ice I have ever walked on in my life your foot just slides across and continues to until your on your ass or in my case your stomach. At the moment the ice has melted so, I'm free from falling for a while until it snows again.
I'm yet to be homesick, randomly I will miss something but I don't think I will be homesick for a few weeks. Also in a week I will be going to orientation camp to Tronheim which goes from Tuesday to Sunday, hopefully that will be fun.
My Norwegian is practically no existent, but I am trying :)
