Merry Christmas

Today it is Christmas Eve and we have celebrated today. I woke up around 11 and watched the christmas movies on TV. At around 2:30 I went with my family to church. It was great, because there I could meet many of my friends again. Church lasted for about 1 hour and after service we spent a few minutes wishing people merry christmas and catching up on other things.

Back home it was time for dinner, and I felt really ready for pinnekjøtt. The food was great and I ate a lot. After the food I had dessert, fruitmix and ice cream. We all ate and had a great time around the table.

Present time. After we were done with the food it was time to open the presents. My dad, my sister and I went downstairs to get all the presents. We put them under the christmas tree and my sister started to hand out the presents one by one.

This year I got:
Digital Camera, DVD's, a CD, a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, a scarf, a lot of candy, some christmas decorations that my sister had made and shampoo and deodorant.

This christmas break has started off great and I hope the rest will be as good as these 3 days.

About time

It's been forever since I updated my blog. This is because I have been lazy and the school blocked the site.

So far life at Hillcrest has been great. I had some greats months playing soccer before the season ended after one game in the state championship. All the fun bus rides, the good times after a game and the state banquet in Minneapolis. We finished the season with 20 wins and 1 loss, 128 goals as a team, 44 goals on Haavard and Jorgen had 41. This is the first year Hillcrest's soccer team has made it to state, so in many ways this year was great for the soccer team.

After the soccer season the days have suddenly become longer. I don't have the 2 hours practice anymore, so I get more time for homework and relaxing now.

Basketball season has started, and so far I have been to all games except 2 and I will miss the game on Thursday. This is because I am traveling back home to Norway on Thursday.
This has so far been made up of tests and it will end with tests. After finishing a New Testament Survey test and the first part of the Western Civilization final yesterday, I came back to the dorm and had to study for the second part of Western Civ. Tomorrow I have New Testament final, Chemistry final and Physics final so therefore I have to spend today studying.

I am looking forward to see my friends and family back in Norway, but until then, I will have a good time my 2 last days at Hillcrest.

Avreise

Avreise skjer i morgen kl. 13.15 og vi som skal reise møter opp rundt kl. 11.00 seinest 11.15. Mens jeg skriver dette vet jeg at noen pakker, andre slapper nok av med middagen, eller kanskje noen gjør som meg, sitter på rommet sitt og hører på musikk og tar en siste avslappende kveld på rommet før avreise. Det som er helt sikkert er ihvertfall det at alle holder nok på med de siste forbredelsene. Selv har jeg sørget for at Ipoden er blitt fylt opp med enda mer musikk og at den er fulladet.

Nå sitter jeg her og hører på musikk og kan vel rett og slett si at jeg venter bare på at morgendagen skal komme. Jeg burde kanskje følt noe nervøsitet nå, men den har enda ikke kommet til meg, kanskje kommer den og kanskje ikke. Jeg velger ivertfall å tro at hvis den kommer vil dette skje under en av flyturene i morgen.

Filmhyllen står for tur nå og jeg skal finne meg en god film og kose meg med siste kvelden i Norge.

PS. Det er bare å komme og besøke oss på Flesland i morgen.

Snart avreise

Som flere kanskje vet skal jeg tilbringe 2. året på videregående i USA. Avreise finner sted Søndag 20. August, og ettersom det er 5 dager til må jeg snart tenke på hva jeg skal ha med meg.

Jeg tenkte jeg skulle skrive en liste over ting jeg må ha med og slik ser listen ut sålangt.

Listen:
Ipod

Som dere ser over er listen ikke akkurat stor og jeg sliter ekstremt med å komme på flere ting jeg må ha med utenom klær, toalettsaker osv. Dermed lurer jeg på om noen av dere har tips til hva jeg kan ta med meg.
