November 1
Studying all day... finals are just around the corner!!!! :§ Rewarded myself with some Netflix before bed though! :)
November 2
More studying, cleaned my room, and wrote out some postcards to friends back home. :) 50 days from today and I will be back home?! It seems like I just got here, this time has flown by so quickly...
November 3
Last Genetics class/Seminar!!! I got a lot of work done there, but still have a LOT to do and catch up on. After class, went to the Library to get some more work done and then headed home.
November 4
Met With Kristine again today to finish up our lab reports and I think they turned out pretty well! Hopefully... After that, I headed to the Library to do some studying, worked out at the gym on my way home, and then finished up some Reading for my class tomorrow.
November 5
Went to my LAST CLASS EVER IN NORWAY!!! It was for Political Utopias and now I just have to focus on getting ready for finals! After class, I went up in the computer lab to do some work, went to the gym on my way home, and then stared my Psychology paper. For a much needed study break, I convinced Lotte and Frieda to accompany my on a little adventure. I had heard that each floor has a Space in the attic to store Things and so I wanted to check it out and see what we could find up there. It was really Cold and super creepy, but it was cool to look at. There was a lot of junk up there and it looks like People just dump old clothes that they don't want to move or take home with them when they leave. Nothing up there for me, but it was a fun little adventure. After that Lotte and Frieda and I just hung out in my room and chilled.
November 6
Today, I had signed up to go on a tour of the Edvard Munch Museum. There were about 30 of us that signed up, and even though our leader never showed, the nice lady who worked there gave us the tour herself. For those of you who don't know, Edvard Much is a very famous Norwegain artist and is most commonly know for the Scream painting. That was very unreal to see and I was even able to get a blurry Picture of it before I got yelled at. We went through with our guide first and then were able to go back through at our own pace. I really liked the Scream, but also The Vision and the Sky. They were doing an exhibit that was paired With the Natural History museum or something, where the theme was Life and Death, and so there were a lot of Scientific aspects that were really cool to see (for me anyways).
After getting my fill, I headed downtown to meet With Zita to go see the Christmas lights get lit up for the first time. It was really cold, but they had a band and were serving free cake, coffee, boller (buns with raisins), and gløgg (spiced wine). Once the lights came on it was really pretty and I was able to take a few pictures before the freezing temperatures absolutely sucked all the juice from my camera within 5 mins... After we got Our fill, we took the bus home and then called it a night!
November 7
It started snowing again today!!!! And it was actually sticking! I got to take a bunch of pictures on my way to meet with Kristine again to finish up our labs for Genetics. After that I headed home and ran some errands and then headed off to coffee hour! I had planned to sit with Lexy again, but ended up meeting some really great girls from Japan, so we sat together and talked the whole time. I can really tell that this is getting easier. I am more able to hold conversations with new people and really push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than when I first got here.
After coffee hour, our Sogn Group and a bunch of other friends met up at Fabian's for a little Kitchen party. It was great to hang out with everyone and I feel like we haven't seen each other in forever. Everyone is just getting really busy studying and preparing for finals.
November 8 and 9
Studying alllllllll day and Netflix as a reward. :) I'm not feeling that great and I think I am coming down with something, so I have just been trying to take it easy and get better and focus on studying.
November 10
I made my way to the computer lab at campus this morning to put the finishing touches on my Genetics labs and submit them before tomorrow. I am feeling even worse and so after finishing up everything I needed to at the University, I headed home to take a nap and do some more studying.
