First announcement: I slipped and fell for the very first time today! I'm not mad about it and I am perfectly fine physically (just a little wet from the snow). Honestly, I am amazed that it has not happened before. I was just thinking to myself that it wasn't that slippery with the snow covering everything. I thought too soon I guess.
It's a winter wonderland here in Kringsja today. All of the trees are covered with a layer of snow. It's absolutely beautiful. And it's warm today again! I couldn't believe how nice it felt yesterday. I put my long johns on out of habit and actually got hot walking around campus!! Today felt pretty similar to yesterday. I could definitely get used to this.
I also got my residence permit today! I am officially legal for my stay :)
I had my language class this morning. You don't realize how tired you get until it's noon and you're done. The class goes by fairly quickly but learning language isn't easy and having class at 8:15 am doesn't help either. Today we practiced saying what we will do after class or over the weekend. We also worked on talking about traveling. So thus far I know how to introduce myself, and tell people where I am from and what language I speak. I can say what I would like to do in the future. And I can ask people how they are and give a few answers. And then there's all that vocab we learned too. I still have to listen pretty hard when my professor speaks, but I am definitely improving.
Last night I went with Lara to see a historical drama about a rebellion in Northern Norway by the native Sami people. It was a good movie, but depressing and I really wanted to slap a few of the characters.
Today I need to finish some homework, and then I think I am going to a free dance lesson later. Should be fun. I'm really feeling a nap right now, but we'll see..
