Last night we got the family together (Lara Micah KB and I) one last time. We played some UNO, and ate some chocolate chip cookies I had made earlier that day. It was really fun. Lara kicked our butts in the beginning with a four game winning streak, but then it even itself out a little. Today was Micah's last day. Lara and I met him for "goodbye" tea this afternoon. One positive: Micah donated his vanilla yogurt to me, along with some tortillas and sun dried tomatoes. If I haven't mentioned it before, the yogurt is INCREDIBLE here, so it was a slight understatement to say I was very happy to inherit it. Lara leaves tomorrow. We're going to meet up once more before she leaves to do something similar (though I think she has a bit more food to donate). I put off going to Kiwi today for just that reason. I did go to Gronland though. I was missing fruits and vegetables badly. Now my fridge is filled-strawberries, nectarines, apples, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, onions...ahhhh yesss.
I also don't think I mentioned that I got A's on my last two exams (if I did, I'm really sorry). I was so happy when I found out because I didn't know what to expect from the grading system and I knew of some friends who thought they did really well on exams and ended up getting poor grades.

Just got back from one last walk around Sognsvann lake with Lara. It will be a sad day when I take my last walk. That's one thing I'm going to miss for sure. It was the perfect time to go. We walked in the shade most of the time so not too hot, the sun still blazing in the sky and maybe a few more people than I would have liked, but not overly crowded. The water looked beautiful....dark blue except where the sun glared white across the ripples. We saw some baby ducks (I saw them earlier this morning on my run too). So small and fuzzy. The mom would dive under the water and a few seconds later two of the babies would too. One only put its head in but the other when all the way down.
Now to make some dinner with the veggies I got today!
This morning before I left for my run...a little before 7:00
Reading outside...18:30
Coming back from Sognsvann...20:00
Just wanted to show how light it gets in my kitchen...quite difficult (and hot!) cooking dinner with the sun blazing in the window.
