What I'm going to miss

Aside from, well, everything:

• The word "koselig" and everything that goes along with it
• Smågodt
• Weekend breakfasts, with bread, knekkebrød, eggs, kaviar, brunost and jam, and so many other toppings I could never fit into one meal
• Drinking way too much coffee
• Being foreign and people's reactions when I answer "ja" to "forstår du ka eg sier?
• The challenge of speaking and understanding another language
• Spotify
• Meeting so many new people, and just using "well, I'm the exchange student" as a shield to be braver than I normally would at home
• That bread slices go in a basket before you eat them
• Spending hours laughing on skype with exchange students cause we have nothing better to do
• giant blocks of jarlsberg cheese, brunost, waffles for dessert, too much chocolate, and all the other good stuff that's made me gain weight this year
• Thinking and dreaming in norwegian
• Randomly putting up paper and painting on the walls in art class since we have no teacher
• Laughing at ridiculous ads playing on the radio while getting ready in the mornings
• Walking to school during sunrise, and home at sunset
• Everyone I've met here, whether I see them every day or just ran into them a few times
• Hearing my name misprounounced in so many adorable ways.
• "Jeg heter Lauren" "KAA? Maureen? Naureen? Laurie?" "LAUREN" "Laureeeeen?" ...close enough haha
• Reading someone else's name and having no idea how to even begin pronouncing it. And then forgetting the name right afterwards cause it was so different
• English teacher: "Lauren, you don't even have to be here today" ...ok! 
• Licorice...!
• "you're from Canada - so you play hockey right?"

This is just the beginning! although I'll have to do a "things I won't miss" post too. Ridiculously narrow roads where you better hope your bus doesn't meet a car going the other way, for example. I have a feeling that list will be much shorter though.

Og jeg må bare si, Tonje sin siste blogg post egentlig inspirert meg å skrive dette, selv om det jeg skrev var egentlig helt annet. Hun har en kjempe fin blogg, og dette innlegg gjorde meg til å smile hele tiden mens jeg leste den :)
