We watched a movie and talked until late in the night on Saturday… it was hard to get up for the walk on Sunday :P but I did. The other two lazy bums couldn’t get up…:P but M (from my class) and I had a really nice walk to the large lake near the school. The lake was all frozen so we spent lots of time playing on the ice….writing names, building a snow octopus, falling down, making turns. Lots […]

Went to Oslo today with D, M, and L. (D and M are from France…J introduced us :) Unfortunately, J over slept and we didn’t manage to meet up in Oslo….he apparently went on his own and didn’t find Oslo very interesting…. I thought Oslo looked beautiful. Definitely didn’t have enough time to explore..plus the weather wasn’t super nice. Pictures will be up on facebook. (Words are patient…Austrian saying….= procrastination :P) We had lunch at a kebab place in Grønland, […]

A’s birthday today!! Lauren bought some cake mix and she and I made a chocolate cake for A. We went over to his place…and he cooked up a storm. His roommate (Ju) was baking a chocolate brownie cake from a cake mix too :P His room mates (A, H, and Ju) all gathered with us and celebrated his 27th birthday. It was really fun :) lots of jokes and laughter. His room mates are all norwegians too…soooo friendly. H keeps […]

<!– @page { size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –> 6 hour hike/walk (to and back)!!!! to a beautiful seaside town called Drøbak I went with J and Y, unfortunately L couldn’t come due to pain in her hip…. walking there, I kept taking so many photos because everywhere you look, everything is so beautiful. Especially today, everywhere was mist, so it seemed all the more magical. We didn’t see the sun peek out until […]

We had our presentations today…seriously, the students in this class are either not putting much effort in, or they really don’t have much presentation skills. It’s really hard to believe this is a master’s level course…I mean the things we are learning are great…but the effort people put in is really minimal. Sometimes I feel like the classes drag on for way too long. L and I both agreed that some of the topics could have been taught in half […]

I haven’t been able to write everyday since school started. A one month course is really intense…we have at least 3 hours of class each day…plus 2 hours of discussion groups sometimes. Everyone tried to assure us that a masters course and a bachelors course in Europe is about the same level of difficulty…but this course is definitely more intensive than what I’m used to. The readings are longer…and we have a group project due in 3 days from starting..@_@ […]
