Hmmmmmmmmm

All righty, before I say anything else..............

I MISS THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's out of my system. Now I'm good.

Yes indeed. I miss the food. I miss the not-flaky internet. I miss having people that understand me without having to repeat myself several times. I miss being able to understand people without them having to repeat themselves several times. I'm just ready to come home! If it wasn't for the Reformation Tour and my little jaunt to Turkey, I probably would have ditched this place a long time ago. It's all nice and good and everything, but I've had my fill of conservative SDA work-study programs. I'm ready to WORK. No study. Just work. For awhile. Then I'd like to do some study. But for now, just work.

I'd like to get a car. That sounds nice. Having my own car, being able to drive my own places, being able to get out and do things. Having to walk over a mile up a hill every morning isn't doing much for me.

Speaking of walking, I did a bit of it this last weekend. There was a canoe trip planned for the weekend, despite the gloomy forecast. It wasn't particularly well-organized, and there was lots of confusion. Almost everyone here changed their mind about whether or not they were going to go at least once. In the end, several of us went out on Sabbath afternoon, some planning to stay overnight and some planning to come back. I was in the latter group. Well, as it ended up, those that were planning on staying ended up leaving. And I stayed and spent the night. Then the next morning, instead of waiting until 4pm for the group to leave, Allie and I walked the ~14 km back to the school. It was nice to walk on a non-paved road for awhile, without Norwegian drivers that whizz by, nearly clipping your elbows cuz the roads are so darn narrow! And it was a beautiful sunny day, so that made it even better. The sun is setting later and later here. At 11pm it was still bright enough to read outside. By a month from now dusk will be at about 12:30am, and dawn will be around 2:15am.

Well, 'tis almost time for work, so I'd better blow this joint. I'm cleaning the building today, as some strained ligaments in my left elbow prevent me from doing any manly labour. Until next time......
