Christian returned to school today and brought home made brownies and chocolate!!!

<3

Edit; Oh and we played Uno! I won like 4 times in a row! HAH!

I think I'm giving up. And kind of accepting that I'm here. I'm redecorating my room, to make it a bit more home I guess. I've just been thinking that I'm going to stay here to Christmas time, taking one month at the time. Not having my dog has been soo hard, too hard. But I realized that I might not have her here for this year, and that I want to be here when school finish up in May. I'ts weird and one way breaks my heart to think of. But I guess it's just something I have to do.




So. Back to my room. I'm liking it better now, much better actually! I have even decided to hang up some pictures and get Ivy's ribbons and stuff. I think my room might have been one of the most boring room around here heh. I'll take a picture when it's done.. Just have to do something with the curtains, they are driving me crazy, seriously- ugh.

I caught myself reading a magazine instead of doing what I was suppose to do. Motivation pleeease. Right now I wish I had a singleroom. Much easier.

Hm. I realised something a bit earlier, that I have stopped blogging as I used too... I used to blog about everything and nothing, my plans, my daily activities and all. Mostly for me, but with this blog it's been more updating from time to time when people ask enough if I'm not going to do a blog soon.

Well. Today the plan is to actually do something :p It does kind of look like a warzone here, so doing something about it might not be such a bad idea :)

And lol. It is kind of fun hearing everyone complain about snow and how they have to change tires and all. And here? Nothing :) Just the usual rain ^^

I kind of forgot to mention it earlier.. Well, I was going to make some food, and my phone rang at the same time so I kiiind of forgot that I was making food and was reminded when the firealarm went of- GREAT.... So my principal came driving as fast as he could and I had to explain everything... Yes, I felt silly and yes I have learned something of it :P Do not talk in the phone and make food at the same time. Meh...

.. Or something :P
First start with a videoblog.




And then some pictures.

Here, we row a boat to the store... Fun the first time, and glad I can't do it :p

So, a life sign :) I think I might actually start blogging again now :P

We had to write a fairytale yesterday in class, and this is my fairytale.

Longing Stars

Once upon a time there was a boy who only wished one thing, and one thing only. He wanted the moon, he wanted the
shiny bright moon to be his own, that he alone could treasure it.

Every night before he went to sleep he looked out of the window, begging the moon to fulfill his wish and to take him away so it could be just him and the moon for all eternity.

" Oh moon dear moon, please come to me- Please be mine, from this night off and to eternity"

And every night he fell a sleep without an answer, with out knowing that the moon wanted to answer, that the moon wanted to be with the boy, that the moon wanted someone to spend the eternity with, so she didn't have to be alone night after night after night- That was the reason it always was shining so brightly, trying to attract someone to her.

But the moon had a sibling. The sun, the evil glaring Sun who cast a spell on his little sister the Moon. He wanted her to watch over the earth while he was sleeping, so he made her stay up all night alone and to be sure it happen he had cast a spell that made her wake up when he went to sleep and fall a sleep when he woke up. That way the Moon would never see the sunlight and always had to stay in darkness, in the shadows of the Sun.

One night the boy made a plan, he was going to steal the Moon. He wanted it so bad that he would do anything to get it.
As he watched the sun go down he snuck out of his house and quietly jumped over the fence running towards the horizon were the Moon was slowly rising as it was her turn to wake up.

" Oh moon dear moon, please come to me- Please be mine, from this night off and to eternity"

The sadness in the boy's voice was not to be avoid. The Moon looked down a tthe boy and knew that if she had a heart, it would be broken by hearing the boy pleading.
The Moon thought of every single way she could of how to answer him and suddenly knew it. Every time the boy pleaded her to be his she took a bit of herself on threw it out on the sky, and after a while the boy noticed and continue pleading over and over again the whole night long.

As the sun woke up and started rising he noticed something, he noticed that the Moon was smaller, and that there was small small parts of her all over the sky.
The Sun had never been so angry before, how dare she do that to herself and to mess up his pretty sky!
The Sun looked down at the boy who was looking up on the Moon going back to sleep, happy that for the first time in his life his beloved Moon had answered him.

The Sun decided that it was enough. He had heard about the boy's plead and about the Moons longing for someone to be with her and with one hard stroke the boy was suddenly in thousands of pieces, and all that was visible of him was the bright love he felt for the Moon. Out of no where every little piece that the Moon had taken from herself and threw out on the sky was now glowing, it was the boy who now was a part of the night.

The Sun had decided that he was going to be called Stars and every time he fell a sleep and the Moon woke up, the Stars would come and keep her company for all eternity. That way the Moon would never be alone, and the Stars would get
his wish.

This sounds freaky for some perhaps, but I'm not sure how long I can take this... Not having Ivy around me that is. I've had her for one year in September, or that would say it would have been one year if I hadn't been here.

After so many years with dog training, exhibitions and just have dogs around me at all times I can't express how difficult it is now. I've been taking it like day for day now, and just kept saying to myself that it would get easier... But as more time goes, I suddenly started realising that no, it doesn't get any better. That I won't get to see her before Christmas holidays and I know that the two weeks with her then won't be enough. At all... Leaving her again isn't something I think I can do.

And I know. It's just a dog and all that.. But the thing is that she isn't just a dog, she is my dog. My precious Ivy, who I've spend the last year with cuddling, playing, training and having fun.

Just thinking of having her around me again, knowing that she is waiting for me when I walk in the door, knowing that she will come smiling to me as I walk in the door is enough to make me want to quit school- Ofc, I love it here. I love my school, the people and everything... It's just that I miss her more.



Ivy on the top of a mountain in Hardangervidda this summer.

And ofc my room has looked ready for inspection the whole week... Eh, or not :P Well, my room is okay now at least.

It's monday.. And for the first time in weeks, perhaps months I have no started the day with a cup of coffee, I have a feeling I need to slow down on the caffeine... It was actually quite good getting up at normal time and start the day early! And besides, haven't done so much yet of the day.

We have something called secret friend this week, we got a piece of paper with a name of a teacher or another student, I'm quite happy with my secret friend and have a few things planed :)

I've been sleeping waay too much the last days... Good thing school is starting again tomorrow.

I went out hiking today- It was almost sad. I have never been fit or anything, but with dogs I've never had problem with hiking at all... But after being sick I knew that it wouldn't be the same, but this was just shameful... Kind of glad that I walked alone, I hate when it's like this... Remind me to never ever get sick like that again.
It was beautiful up on the top "Hovde"









The quality sucks on the pictures, yes I wish I had my camera :( It was so much to take picture of up there.

I feel bad when It's been over a day since I last updated! It's like an addiction or something.

Well, the last days have been really busy and I've had a lot on my mind.. Some things is easier to handle then others, but I'm positive that it will all work out eventually!

Yesterday I went into Bremnes with some girl, and used money I don't have:P Heh. Me and Birgitte discussed it earlier, and found out that we could just look around and not buy anything... Well, didn't to as planned but I don't regret;) Had a lot of fun with them and it's good getting out of here from time to time, it does feel a bit crowded sometimes... But I love the house that I live in :)

AND oh, I got my test results back and I'm the first officially person on this island that has had the swine flu, historical! Well, at least I'm immune now...:)

The school arranged an 80's night and I felt really lame for not participating but I was exhausted! One of the downsides after the Sflu, I get so tired quickly and can barely do anything before It feels like I've run a marathon.. Really sucks actually.

And... When I feel like that, It's nice to be able to do nothing :P And I mean like.. Nothing.. What I've been doing today? Painting a picture, made a bracelet... Some of the others are making a dress, knitting, making small cards. It feels weird- that it's what we actually have as class today, heh. Well, can't complain about stress today at least. :)

^^ I'm making a class blog now, and we went outside to take some pictures... Lol?
