Summer vacation soon! ~

Hi sweeties! Long time no see!

I really wonder where all my energy went. It's the final days of school over here now, next Thursday I'll be graduating... So I'm really using my last energy reserves before summer vacation to get over and done with it. Today we got to know our subject and theme for the final oral exams that will be held on Tuesday.
I got English! My theme is "Being young on the edge", so I choose to focus on youth rebellion. Finally a task where I can express some of my own opinions, not just the endless mathematics!

Yesterday we had a day off, so I got time to catch up on non-school stuff. There are so many things going on now, you have no idea! I'm really tired, and I can't wait for the vacation. My grades are finally where I want them to be now, so I can relax with good conscience ^^
As you may know I'm self-studying Japanese now, and that won't take a break just because it's vacation. The blog won't take a break either, of course! I hope I'll have more time to write here once school is finished. Also, a few days ago I got chosen as the new leader in our theater for next season! I'm really looking forward to begin with a new play! Luckily I got a co-leader, so I won't take on too much responsibility.
Since I had some time on my hands yesterday, I took on a long neglected task: bathing my dog Tinto.
Tinto has A LOT of fur, and he really dislikes water. Sounds like fun, right?

"I thought... I thought you loved me :("

"Do you see how much pain I'm going through because of you? :(("

"Please stop... I promise I'll be good for the rest of my life!"

"Wiiih, finished! ~"

And here's a practicing sheet from my Hiragana studying. It's starting to look okay, right? :D
Now I just have Katakana and Kanji left... 

I can't believe I'm graduating next week. I haven't had the time to think about it, so I realized just now. I'm really excited to see what lays ahead of me now that I'm finished with this period of my life. 

I'm sure you all are feeling excited for the summer as well! Remember, no matter how hard things may seem in the present, there are always good things waiting for you in the future! 

Stay well, everyone! Until next time ~

Summer on the way~

Good evening all you sunflowers out there!

The last days have been awesome! I've finished my Russetime, celebrated the national day, finally got to take of the Russebukse for good and got to wear shorts and skirts again. Yaay!
The weather is awesome as well. It's been super sunny here and it feels like summer. Hope it last for a good while. It's always really pretty here in the summer, and today was no exception. Because of all the nature around us we have lots of beautiful scenery. If it were always summer here, that'd fit me perfectly.

Some photos from today~
We went grilling at Siljes place and it was super warm and perfect weather.

Tonto <3

Now it's off to bed for me^^

Bye Bye~ 

Winter in Norway + birthday party! ^^

Hello everybody!

So here are the promised pictures! The idea of taking a lot of pictures from my way home from school was quite impulsive. I've been playing with the thought some time, and yesterday I remembered to bring my camera in my purse. I think many Norwegians, especially us in Northern Norway, often forget how beautiful the nature that surround us is. After all, tourists fly all over the world to see it!
My mother used to tell me to be grateful for the fact that my way to school might be one of the prettiest in the world. I didn't understand what she meant until I got older, though ^^

My little dog Tinto and I went out for a walk in the snow.

Yesterday I also went to the birthday party of Rebecca, a good friend of mine ^^
I didn't manage to take as much pictures there, especially since the other girls were rather shy ;)

Pretty, hand-made table decorations!

The best dessert I've had in a long time. Chocolate mousse with cream, vanilla and raspberry <3 

Anania! She's such a sweet girl! ^^

I'm not sure what Victoria is explaining here...

Fredrikke: I have accepted that the boys like her more than me, and she has hopefully accepted that I'm always late. 

And here are the pictures of my outfit, taken in a rush at the bathroom. It's a shame I didn't  take one with my shoes, as I was very satisfied with them :( 

See you later, everyone! ~

It's snowing! ^.^

Yes, finally! I've been waiting for this snow the whole Christmas time! Ironically we had a lot of snow before, but it disappeared when December started :( As a norwegian, I think it's rather uncozy to celebrate Christmas without snow. It's okay when you're in a warmer country, but up here in the north, you really expect it to be snowing in December.    

The picture is my dog Tinto who finally got to play around in the snow again. He has so much fur that I'm pretty sure winter is his favorite season! In summer he tends to hide in the shadow, anyway.

Hope you all have a nice holiday, and get to experience some real Christmas snow! ^^
