Some Pictures and a bit of reflection

 These pictures are from 10pm last night in Kringsja. The clouds looked really neat and the sky was an orangey color on top of the blue.

 This is from my walk to Sognsvann around 11:30 last night. It was absolutely perfect except for one thing: mosquitoes. I have so many bites!




 The picture above is from my wallk back to my room after visiting Lara around 1 am.
 This morning I made pancakes. We used some of my maple syrup (I still have some more left) and topped it off with bananas and strawberries. We sat out on the porch and ate. It was gorgeous out (a bit sunny as you can see from the photo of Lara). It was a great last breakfast with Lara. She just left on the T-bane about fifteen minutes ago. I'm going to miss her a ton. I enjoyed my time immensely with everyone here. It's so strange that we're not still together. I have a feeling I will see some of them again though (the important ones) so as much as I feel pretty down about it right now, I'm so happy to have known all of these incredible people.
Thinking about all of the people I've met over the course of my stay here, I realize that it really is about the people you're with. Yes, I love Norway for what it is as a country and there are of course other aspects that are equally important. On the other hand though, it was the people I met that really made it a worthwhile experience...the family, the dancers, my flatmates, EVERYONE. I am so incredibly blessed to have made such great connections here.  It's so crazy to think that all of these strangers can come together over a short period like we did. And even though this may be a special case (all of us international students living together in close quarters), it gives me hope that wherever I go in life, there will always be great people to be met, friends to be made, and good times to be had.
