I felt it was only fair to conclude my blog, so here it goes:
I am still a Norwegian girl, but not, however, in New York. I made it home to Norway safe and sound on July the 2nd, 2010. I’m happy that I went, and happy to be home. I learned a lot, got a lot stronger, and would not trade my experiences for anything in the world. I bonded with a lot of amazing people, and I got a huge family. Though I miss them a lot, I’m also very glad to be back in my home country, and ready to embrace new adventures. The one I’m currently working on is my final year of «Prep School» in Norway – 13th grade. I will this year be a russ (a graduate) and hopefully score very well on my exams in Norwegian; Religion; Faith; Gym; History; Politics and society; English language and literature. The school year just started, I’ve moved in to the nicest dorm on the campus, I have my own single bedroom with my own bathroom and nothing to complain about. All my friends are just the same as when I left (or so it seems most of the time) and I’m beginning to learn names of new students.
Being away from a boarding school for a whole year is not nothing. I notice that theres a heck of a lot I’ve missed out on, but comfort myself with the thought that I’m not the only «new student» in my grade. 6 students from my class left to go to the US for High School in 2009/2010. So I guess we’re kind of «all in this together». Hah.
One of the things I regret to report that has changed since I got home from America, is that I’m not such an avid blogger anymore. I’m sorry that future blogposts probably won’t be as long and awesome as my older ones, but I will keep blogging, from time to time, on this blog.
So I guess that’s it for now, and for «ever» on this blog. I didn’t mean for that to sound so oppressive, but now I feel kind of sad. It’s like wrapping up a book that I know I can’t read again. I’ll think back at some of the paragraphs and see some of the images flash on the back of my eyelids, of course, but the book is long gone. The «wrapping up» of the book hasn’t been so smooth, but I’ll soon be ready to start a new one.
I am ready to start a new one.
