St. hans

Today I had a day of.

First Stine and I went down and tried to get some tan at the beach. then I got up to Vennesla to get a massage(Birthday pressant from Christian :D )

Afterwards I went down to the beach again where I met Rikke, Karen and Christian. We stayed there for a couple of hours getting more and more red.



Then Ingjerd called and asked if I wanted to join them on a boating trip, and ofcourse... I said yes.

It was so cozy, and the weather was just perfect :)

On the way home I found out, smart as I am that I was going to film it so that the epley's could see. It wasn't so easy to film because it was getting kinda dark. And to top it all, and had to speak to it... I watched it, and I am embarrased over my english. I didn't even manage the vocabulary.....(as you will hear!)

I bet you will love this norwegian english Sarah. Everyone else will just be embarrased on my behalf... (Or I am...)

Just laugh... It's okey...

For Audhild, because I'm lazy

This I'm doing just because Audhild says I should.
I feel kina bad for her, because she has an oral exam in social studies tomorrow. and I don't...

She thinks I dont use my brain...

I do. Sometimes at least..

17 May. Our national day

Today I've done absolutely NO, NADA, ingenting homework what so ever :) Feels like the weekend to me. The best part is that we didn't have anything eighter till tomorrow.

Audhild and I has had a prosject about northern light. It was most definitly too hard for my brain. it was physics and chemesty together...

Silje is going to celebrate her birthday tomorrow. We are going to her cabin down by the sea. Hope the weather turnes out beautiful. We are going to stay there till saturday evening.

Now the time difference is a good thing, cause then Noah will get his birthday e-mail from me. yeey cutie boy :)

Then on sunday it the 17th of May. Norways national day. And for all you forheigners we celebrate it in a kind of special way:

The once who are seniors becomes something called "Russ". There are different colors depending on what you are going to be. Example. if you are going to be a farmer, you look like this

If you are going to go to college you become red or blue "russ":

And the once that is going to be a mecanic, electriiton, work with health, like nurse at a nursing home becomes black
They all have a thing called "russe card" like a joke visit card, with a picture and a joke on it, that children collects. I had around 300 when I was little

(PS. All pictures are randomly taken from the internett)

We who aren't "russ" dress up nicely, and some of us has a "bunad" it's Norways national suit.

Strict rules. You have to have a family member from the place you're "Bunad" is from. Some "Bunad" I think is really cool:

above is the national suit to our native people "samer"

The children walk in a parade where there is a lot of people watching. They are singing our national anthem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umY-LB7ExPQ&feature=related)and other song made for this day.

Afterwards we go to tivoli and then eat with family or friends. than in the evening we run something called "tapto". Where we have a starting point in the top of centrum, and runnes all through it holding hands, forming long "snakes". around 3/4 of a mile. then we come down to the sea and we watch the fireworks and lissten to some bands playing.

In our capital all the children that marches goes past the royal house, with the royal family out on the balcony waving. the thousand first children gets to eat dinner in the royal house.

Wow. You've made it so far. You are seriously good. You should leave a comment, so I know that you are a faithful reader. Pictures from our national day will come later :)

I heard a song on the radio today, and it made me feel very happy. A really happy song.... Untill I listened to what she said... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ITZBBV8Syg
I was Shocked! it sounded like a butterfly song, but noo..
Sometimes I wish I didn't understand English, cause then I could live in my own little butterfly world.

I wished I lived in Katies world, it sounds lovely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odhw5SLYYdY

but back to reality. Some hours ago Audhild woke me up by calling me, to ask how you could say that she was being compared to a Mammut in English. *Shame on her for waking me up* Christian on the other hand thought it was a good idea waking me up *Shame on boyfirend too!*
Julie wanted to sleep :(

I looked at the videos at my cell phone, and it was quite a few videos of me solving Sudoku.
here is an other one, Just because I have no further more to say.

translation:

J: I found a 2. I have to be able to use it

J:ohh

A: Are you having fun?

J:No, cause I don't manage to get it right!

J: 4, 4

A: How many.....

J: 4,4,4,4

J: Notice that I am doing hard here. and then you have to look at these once that I have managed.

J: Ops

J: Tadaa

A: very good

J: *Thinking* Oh yes, I know :)

Written by Audhild (who thinks that she's updating her blog to rarely)

Julie spends a freetime at school solving Sudoku while talking to her self about numbers and my mothers accent... xD

"Professional blogger"

I just read a guy's blog. he writes around 6 times a day. WOW. That made me feel.. Like a good blogger. It is not that I don't have exiting things to write about, like getting the birthday present from the Epley's:)

Cutie boys made for me:)

Hard to say, but it says Familiy on the big one, and laugh on the small. Perfect<3

I was supposed to put out more pics, but my unpredictable cell phone did not want to :(

Have I mention the extreme makeover our neighbour is doing to their house. I can hear machines going on in there from late in the evning to early morning! Very fun.

Did I mention the card I got? When you open it, it plays a song. How funny isn't that :)

I know the whole song by heart :)

Right now my cell phone is on it's way to a nursing home, or at least it should be!

Whenever it wants to, it turnes of. and sometimes(Very often really) it just stops working.... What a great friend...

I even have more exiting things to tell you about. A french test. Yeah, you heard me. FRENCH, TEST, ME!

I think I should just lay down and wait for doomsday.. cause the way it looks now. I am not going to pass it at all. I have not... *paid too much attention*

But can you blame me? Who in the world think it is interesting learing about partive article, future tence, reflexive prounouns. maybe my english teacher Jorunn would, but Few other people.....

Til oss Norske :)

ALDRI, jeg mener det, ALDRI undervurder aksenter i USA. De elsker det visst av en eller annen grunn. Merkelig merkelig merkelig.

Au revoir/ A plus tard / See Y'all later. / snakkes.

Easter

This easter I've been up in Kristiansund, far north in Norway.

It takes 2 hours with plane. I came to visit my grandparents, cousin Jenny Linn, my aunt and uncle one last time before i went to the US.

I have to admit that I spent most of my time together with my cousin Jenny Linn, since she's the only one under 40, and arond my age. She by the way turned 16 last tuesday.

Here is some pictures from here "very celebrated"birthday;

I wanted it so badly, but I managed to take it on the wrong way... Yeey me...
Then we colored my hair. I did not know what color I wanted so we picked caramel chocolate, because it sounded so good :)

Then we went out to eat. (She always looks like this)

What a great birthday she had.. Now she is allowed to take the elevator all by her self. Yeeey..

Here is some random pictures from the rest of the trip :)

This is how touristes think we are... They use a LOT of money buying these things as well
That is the cutest :)
Typical Norwegian..

Ahhh. She totally loves me :)
