Thirteenth Week & Snow & Youtube

Thirteenth Week

I know it is a bit late to write about the thirteenth week XD. Ahh I think the reason for that was the snow, the darkness and the school. The School? Yea even though I think the school in Norway is much more chilled and relaxed compared to the school in Switzerland, I still have to do homework and learn for test here and there. However, finally November is over. I think that was one of the toughest and most exhausting months I had so far. I'm so glad it's finally December and Christmas time. I think one of the biggest reasons for that is the darkness, I talked about it in my last Blog. It just makes everything harder...The first two weeks of November were actually okey. I never experienced such darkness during a day. So for me it was new and exciting first, but after the first two weeks I realized how much impact such a darkness has on you XD. Even if I had an relaxed and short school day. You are tired, unmotivated and exhausted. Your body is totaly fit, but your head has the feeling:" Ow it is dark, lets do nothing, just chilling... Often the weather is also bad, so you never see a blue sky or much light during the day. You never get the feeling the day starts at a specific moment now and ends at another point. Now December starts and with that christmas time, which keeps me up and motivated. I have something to look forward.

Snow

Yea we got snow around the beginning of November. I really prefer snow in Norway over the shitty, rain, cold and storm weather. The snow makes everything during the dark days brighter. It is not completely dark outside anymore. So I used the time on a "sunny day xD" to make some photos outside at the sea. The mountains look much cooler with snow. Whole Norway looks much better with snow. I don't know why exactly XD. During summer I reallly liked the nature, the fjords look wonderful. But during winter Norway looks much better with snow <3 I love the nature here.

Youtube

By the way we have uploaded a new video on our channel. We filmed a short trip to the highest building in our city. The funny it was around 13:00-13:30 when were on the roof XD So you can get a little test of the darkness...

I hope you enjoy it ;)

Twelfth Week & Everyday Life & Darkness

Twelfth Week

WOW! I'm in Norway for already twelve weeks. Isn't that weird? It doesn't feel like twelve weeks at all, more like 3 weeks. The first three months are filled with adventures, experiences and feelings. Your brain is all the time busy and you just rush through the time. During these three months you get slowly used to your new environment, family, school and friends. Everything is so exciting and new.

You feel like a survivor who landed on an unexplored island. You don't speak the language of the people, they have another culture and behave a bit different. First you really feel like stranded, you are tired and hungry all the time. Basically lost xD

I realized that when I finished my first school day and wanted to walk home. Even though my school way is about 300m and takes 5-8 minutes from. It took me about 30 min -.-, because I just couldn't find the right way xD I finished school on that day around 13:30, which is a dream compared to Switzerland. So I was really hyped and excited to learn some Norwegian by myself at the afternoon, when I finally arrived at home. So I sat down and started learning some Norwegian. I didn't really got far. I found myself 20 minutes later sleeping for 3 hours straight with the head on the kitchentable xD

Looking back to these moments it makes me proud and happy that I was able to pass them. I ask myself how did I only pass these 3 months so fast. I have a lot of funny and awkward stories to tell from this time ;) I will tell here and there some of them in other Blogs.

Everyday Life

So I woke up as around 11 o'clock the last Saturday. But there was something special about this Saturday. I woke up with a different and weird feeling that day. I didn't exactly know what it was. It followed me the whole day and I asked myself all the time what it could be. When I went to the gym with one of my friends, I started realizing what it was.

I FELT NORMAL! Yea just normal xD, everything feels so normal and comfortable suddenly. I feel like I was born here. Even though I have some times no plan what people around me talk and I still struggle with my Norwegian. It feels normal to not understand everything xDD. Sounds propably weird for you. I think my ears and my mind just accepted not understanding everything and it doesn't bother me anymore .

I built the last three months an "everyday life" up with friends, sport, hobbies and school. I have a lot of free time here so I started to be more creative ;) I began to make videos and pictures of the nature or just other random stuff. Yea I enjoy the time here. I think I got really lucky with my placement in Norway and the family. Everything fits <3

I'm in Norway already three months, I have a daily life and now what? What's next? XDD

I think I will have to find out by myself what are my next goals ;)

The Darkness

Yea that last couples of days I got even more tired than I already am during the day. Sometimes I went home in the afternoon and fell asleep, even tho I had to get up at ten at that morning :-)

The reason for that is THE DARKNESS!!!

Sounds really horrible? Yea is it also xD No it's not really horrible, but for people like me, which are not used tho that it is really hard to deal with it.

By darkness I mean the short days we have here in the north. Every day the sun gets up later, day by day. Almost 15 min a day the sun goes up later and goes down earlier. So I get up in the darkness and go home after in the darkness. Even though we finish school at 15:20. The sun is already down around 15:00. And the sad part about the whole story is that when the sun should shine outside, you don't see here actually, because the weather is bad all the time. So the bad weather and the short days make a mixture, that I start to get the feeling I haven't seen the sun for ages :'-(

Yea I really start to miss the sun XD

I expected a lot of weird stuff happening during my exchange year, but not that I start missing the sun...

This goes on until the 21 of December, then the sun starts going up earlier and and also will go down later <3
