Hi,
My life is starting to get more and more normal here. School resembles some what first year of RCN, of course there are differences. I am starting to remember names of people. I'm actually enjoying classes, yes even TOK is okay. But still so happy that only this week and next week and then no TOK until February.
Econ is the same usual boring revision of everything and English is okay as well as Finnish. Finnish is completely new. Now we are reading Memoirs of a Geisha.It's a really interesting book and a really recommend reading it. As an assignment I need to do a screen play of a scene from the movie. It's actually really fun to do. Even though I had already a year of English it feels new, since all the material here is different.
Doing homework here isn't so bad as at RCN, since I don't have all of my friends within a 100 meter range here, so distractions are fewer. I do the homework and it doesn't feel horrible.
I sometimes get these moments when I miss RCN. It can be something really simple. Earlier this week I was walking down the corridor when leaving home and heard to Russian speakers talking. This made me miss the Haugland pool and Sauna, with Eastern Europeans talking in Russian, Serbo-Croatian etc. and me being the only person there who did not understand a single word.
Outside school I'm also starting to get a weekly rhythm. Mondays (every other) I go and do some volunteering with CP-disabled children, Tuesdays I go to the gym, Wednesdays I go to the gym or then just studying, Thursdays go to the Gym, Fridays leave to Kuusamo (to our cabin, if we are going there, otherwise a free day). Weekends are usually studying and depending on are we home or at Kuusamo something else.
Next week I'll be alone at home, since my parent's are going to Rome. Jealous! Especially since I have plane tickets from Oslo that I am not able to use. So I'll stay here and catch up with school work and go to classes etc.
RCNers HAVE AN AMAZING NOVEMBER BREAK!
