"This isn't me in a nutshell ...THIS is me in a nutshell: Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get in this bloody, big nutshell?".... I'm crazy. Don't feel threatened.
I really don't want to be categorized and put in a nutshell. It's definitely too late to escape any nutshell shaped mould that I've been in for highschool ...especially when I only have two weeks left!!! TWO WEEKS (and one day). That is eleven days, people! Sure.. after that, there are exams and graduation, but structured lesson plans and all that jazz shall only continue for two more weeks :-D
After that, it's just a hop, skip and a jump away from the departure date. Norway! Here I come!
If you want to know the exact number of days left of Caity love in Australia, the number would be 105. Scary, no? (Scary, YES)
One of my host mothers' has been sending me messages on facebook :-D I'm not sure about the rest of my families, but the Molvaers (the 'a' and 'e' are connected... so i can't actually type their surname properly :-) are awesome! I've also heard from another family: the Larsen's, but I'm too shy to email them much. I'm really scared of these people getting sick of me! I can't speak much Norwegian past "hello" and "thank you", so.. gah! Damn you, languages!
So yeah! Mrs Molvaer/Grethe sent me a message on facebook the other day of (I presume) the view from their house to show what the weather was like. She also sent it to Ingrid, who I think was probably happy to see a piece of Norway.
There's snow in the background on top of the mountains. Eep... I've never seen snow :-S... A montage of various situations which all result with me falling down a mountain just went through my head very very VERY quickly!
Lars and I have been talking to eachother via facebook as well (I LOVE facebook!). Despite whatever he might say, his English is excellent and I'm sad that I can't reciprocate the language prowess.
I'm staying with the Molvaers in June, July and August (if I remember correctly) and I really can't wait!!!
Let's talk about facebook again, shall we? :-D
So! After the briefing weekend (it feels like ages ago now...), all us outbound and inbound Adelaidians found eachother on facebook! It's great. Every so often, someone will post about being happy about exchange or how their country is cooler and it starts this massive debate. I LOVE IT! I caught up with Ben the other day (actually... as I look at the calendar, I realise it was exactly a week ago) who is going to Japan next year and we got coffee. It was great to talk face to face with someone who is just as excited and scared as me. I've also been talking a fair bit to Trephalump who's going to Finland. I'm fair sure we're catching most of the same flights over together. ...Ben's leaving on a different day to us though :-(
Why does Trephalump have to live in flippin' Woop Woop!? I really want to go and have a chat with her right now ...but no! *sulk*
I feel quite bad... I've got a tonne of homework, so I've been neglecting things and people. ..but then I manage to find time in my busy schedule to post something on my blog. *slaps hand* bad Caity!
Hmm... With that, I will bid thee adieu!
Love, Caity of the Norwegian wood (8) ...gotta love those Beatles!
