Snow Snow Snow!!!

Haha......I know that it's a little too late to write about snow in the SPRING!!! ^_^ Don't know too........... I remember my first time seeing snow falling down from the sky, I couldn't believe it because it was the midst of October. I was doing something which I don't remember what and I had to print something and then around 2pm, I walked to A building alone. While I was walking, I saw something strange in the air but was very small that I couldn't recognize what it was. It didn't really interest me because I thought that it was impossible to have snow by that time. So I just kept walking to the IT room. While I was waiting to print, I heard some joyful screaming from outside, I became very furious about that and I decided to take a look outside. Oh my God!! It was snowing ... I was very surprised, without saying anything, I just went outside the building and enjoyed snowing. But then I had to get back in because of my work. 

However, after finishing everything, it was still snowing so I went outside and played snow with other friends. It was awesome. My first time in my life that I saw snow, it was the 20th of October, 2010. Although first snow was not that much, but everyone looked so happy and enjoyed it, especially the students from countries without snow, like me :D ... I had a very nice time with other people...cannot forget it!!

My first snowman was made in Forde when I went to visit Mottak group. Although I made it alone, I still enjoyed it a lot. 

Whenever there was snow, I usually said to my friends that "Oh my new world, my white world!! I love it!!" and everyone always made fun of me ... I didn't mind, I still kept saying that "This is my new world!". 

But now the green world is already back, and I still enjoy my green world :D

Half Marathon!

According to my parents, I am the laziest girl in the world. (Maybe?? Who knows?) 
I really don't like doing anything which makes me tired, especially running (but I like walking, but not more than 5km). One evening, I was eating dinner in Cantina with some other people, then Kip, my math teacher, came and asked me if I wanted to join the half marathon for something related to Saharawi things. Then I got a feeling that I wanted to try. It was 21km :D and of course, I decided to go. 

I was very energetic at the beginning but after 10 minutes I was exhausted so instead of running, I started to walk. :D 
It was fun, though. Walking and talking to each other at the same time was just too much fun. Quite a few people already finished while we were still kind of at the beginning of the start. We were very slow, but we were not the slowest one. :) After an hour, all my energy was already away from me and I started to feel that I couldn't move on. But I didn't give up, but keep it up with a smiling face. Moreover, we didn't have anything to eat, I didn't even have water with me. Sooner after, Kip came with a bus and told us that we will have something to eat whenever it is we arrived in the college which helped us to be more energetic to move on because first when I thought that I didn't have anything to eat, I was just ... something like upset.
WOW!!! After 4 hours and 23 minutes we arrived in the college! Fantastic! We did it! 21km! We were absolutely delighted. As soon as we arrived in the college, the first thing that we did was to go to Cantina and eat. After that we slept just like we were dying because of the tiredness.

However, it was a very good experience for me since I'd never done something like that before and it helped me not being lazy anymore. Since then I started to love running or walking for a long way which is so much fun and also help me being healthier as well. :D GOOD!

Cabin Party!

Oh my god! When I first heard about it, I really felt very positive about it and I really thought that it was a great party since it doesn't happen that often. Second years told me that it was a fantastic party ever. They even said that, "If you're not going, you'll regret." which really convinced me to decide that I was going to join that party. BUT I remember, haha, I had to pay 40NOK and at that time I didn't even have 1NOK with me. It was just because of wanting to know how it was, I and Bee (a good friend from Thailand) decided to borrow money from one of our friends in order to pay to go to the party. ( BTW, we paid him back as soon as we got the money :D)

It sounds hilarious, doesn't it? But wait!! There are many more things that are even funnier. Could you imagine that We, girls, had to dress up and then walked for 3km to go to the party under the freezing cold weather??? Don't laugh!!!! It's not over yet.

When we arrived at the place, of course, I really thought that I would get something to eat. In contrast, yes, there were a lot of things to eat but we also had to pay too. We didn't even have water to drink. Fortunately, I brought money!!! Lucky me...

 Party time arrived! Everyone started to dance, so did I. Because obviously there was nothing to do other than dancing. After some time I found that it was enjoyable and everyone was happy too. 

Some people were completely crazy, but I was not, luckily.... They did something incredible that I couldn't believe :D I remember Olof, my schoolmate from Norway, had his style as a mushroom and I gave him a name which obviously was "mushroom". 
I started to have fun after time to time but after it was 2am I ought to come back home.

This was the hilarious thing ever that we had to walk back home under the temperature around or less than zero after midnight with other two people. To be honest, I am really afraid of ghost, I couldn't believe that I ever dared to walk outside at night like that, but I really did. (It was just because I had no choices)

Nevertheless, it was a good party. I enjoyed it more than I expected. :D

Skating!!

Of course, we have roller skating back home, and although I tried quite a few times several years ago, I felt that going skating on the frozen lake in Norway was completely new to me. 
First of all, when I took a bus with Kip, my math teachers, and several of my schoolmates to the place where we could skate at the very first time, I thought in my mind that, "How could I manage to skate if I don't even know how to tie the shoe laces?". That sounds very ridiculous, doesn't it? Anyway, I was really into doing it. When I arrive at the small frozen lake for the skating, I couldn't believe that the lake was frozen and it was just the beginning of winter!! 

I felt afraid at the beginning, and I felt on the ice loads of times. I hurt myself a lot. By the way, everyone was smiling at each other; so was I. Everyone was helping each other to manage to skate, i was taken care by some of them as well. AND Kip was the one who helped me to tie my shoelaces. It was such a shame not knowing how to do this!!!! I remember everyone's smile which showed that every of us was enjoying although it was quite cold but delight came to cover every tiredness and coldness. I couldn't forget lying down on the frozen lake under the icy cold weather with other mates which was fabulous and it was just unforgettable. Moreover, when I was tired of skating, I stopped and looked at my surroundings which were covered with white snow, trees were all white and was the ground.


However, after some time I could manage to go ahead; not fast or skillfully but just to go without falling 10 times per minute, still fell down every now and then. Though I couldn't do it perfectly but, of course, I was improving. :D 
After first time going skating, I was really into skating. And I went that place quite a few times. Then the other very big was frozen as well which was great but it was farther than the smaller one. I went there a few times with my math teachers and other students. When I was first there, I almost fell in love with the nature but it was freezing cold which was very bad for me because I come from a very warm country. Luckily, my clothes were good enough to keep me warm...Thanks God!! :)
Ummm, from time to time I realized that I was falling in love with skating..... heheh... I wish I had been skating more often because now I've found that my life is no longer free as what it used to be. Nevertheless, I am waiting for the next winter to come and then I can enjoy my skating again.

Sadly, my math teacher is not gonna be here, he's going to China. I am very sad, but I couldn't stop him. Only if I were able to stop him from leaving for China next year, I would do anything, whatever I could do to keep him staying in Norway. BUT no way! It's just impossible! 


Hopefully, I will have time to enjoy it again next winter. :D
