460 800 minutes later....a picture review

Starting a blog post at 12:30 am is always a bad idea. But ehh, who needs sleep?

Over the past 320 days....

From the beginning...


To the end....

I've:

Taken countless jumpshots:





Taken the train from Bergen to Oslo 3 (soon to be 4 ) times:

(bt.no)

Walked to school at sunrise:
...and seen it never really get dark:


Learnt a new language:


Seen more rain than I ever thought possible:


Ran up and down these stairs approximately 145 times:


...but eaten enough brunost
waffles
....and other good food to far override any exercise I've done.

Met people from all over the world:


Gotten two new familes:


And lots of new friends:


Spent hours talking on skype:


And hours outside hiking and skiing:


...and exploring new cities:


Shown three friends from home around Bergen:


Completed an extra year of high school, in a different country and language, just for the heck of it


Not gotten a haircut:

 (September)                                                 (June)
...besides a couple unsuccesful attempts at trimming it myself:


Taken more busses and trains than the rest of my life combined:


Travelled all over Norway

...even above the arctic circle

....and had an AMAZING year!

  4. Jeg digger å sitte her i Norge, og aldri ha møtt deg noen gang, mens jeg storkoser meg med å lese bloggen din. Og så vet jeg at du, som er fra et helt annet kontinent, allikevel forstår meg når jeg kommenterer på norsk^^
