HEY GUYS

Hi everybody,

how are you? I am doing great! Still having a lot of fun here in Bergen :) Today is Sunday and I slept in... NICE - I LIKE :) I will have a good breakfast and then head to the gym, which opens at 2pm today. Later on I have some reading to do for Norwegian and my English literature class, but it will be a pretty relaxed sunday.

I had a presentation about one of the books we are reading last week and it went pretty well. The first exams are in 3 weeks time, it´s unbelievable how fast the spring semester passed...

To me it seems nearly unreal, that I´m finished here in some weeks. I have 3 exams plus an oral one. Norwegian, English and communication have written exams from 3 hours to 6 hours. The oral exam in Norwegian will only be about 10 min, but for me this is enough...I´ll probably break my tongue trying to speak Norwegian ;)

The pictures which you see on top of the blog entry are from last Friday. We were invited to a Tequila party downtown at Elma´s place. It was great, we were dancing the "Lasso" song, a thing I would probably never do at home, but which is so much fun here. Now some Americans and the Norwegians can dance to German "schlagermusic". hahaha

Yesterday we went on a beautiful fjord trip by boat. Our destination was a little, picturesque village called Rosendalen in the third largest fjord in the world: the Hardangerfjord. We walked to a little castle and I felt like in a fairytale. Green trees and colourful flowers everywhere, the sun was shining (although it was so cold on the boat) and the castle was an old beautiful building with a pretty garden infront of it.

The only thing that pisses me off is that it is still very cold here in Bergen (between 0 and 5 degrees) . It was snowing the other day and spring just doesn´t want to come... I gave nearly all my winter stuff to my parents when they were here, so they could take it home. So spring is better coming very soon. I want sunshine!!!

You guys in Germany are very spoiled, you know that?! 29 degrees.... come on, this is not fair!

Well, but when I come home I will make up for all the barbecue sessions ;-)

Looking forward to see all of you in about 5 weeks :-))

Many kisses

Kathi
