a small introduction to photography:-)

yesterday, we had our first class in photography. We are 17 students in this class, 15 girls and 2 boys, or more like it, it's 1 boy and a man, he's 45 years old.... The teacher is a very nice woman named Janne, she is very energetic, and she's always smiling. She sometimes talks very fast, and since it's in a different dialect than me, it can be a bit difficult to understand, but I'm sure that by the end of next week, I won't notice it anymore:-) Got our first assignment yesterday(thursday), and I had a little lack of inspiration, but I'm sure it will be fine.

In a total, we are 93 students at this school, and we all stay in a dorm. it's quite big actually, with 5 floors + a basement. We start at 8am every day, when all the students has to meet in the auditorium. After that, we have classes from 9am to 3.30pm, then there are several activities in the evening. we also have school on Saturdays, that's why we finish the year in May, instead of June. Almost every Saturday, we have a seminar on different subjects, it usually lasts from 10am to 2pm.

We eat ALL the time, it's a bit weird really. We have 4 meals during the day, breakfast at 8.30am, lunch at 11.30am, dinner at 3.30pm, and then one more meal at 7.30pm. My system hasn't quite gotten used to it yet...and I have a baaaaad feeling that it will be a bit difficult reaching my goal this year, but I will try!

Got to go now, the sun is finally out after 4 days of rain, and I want to get some photos!

hey!

It's been a bit easier the last couple of days, I guess I just had to get through the first day. Tomorrow we have the first day with photo, really looking forward to it, I haven't picked up my camera in a while, haven't really had the time, but I think the classes here will be a lot of fun!

I don't have a whole lot of new pictures these days, not since, but I will try to post at least one photo every time I blog, of anything really, love feedback by the way!

TTYL:-)

and so it begins

Left Asker yesterday, after spending Friday packing down parts of my bedroom...felt really weird by the way. we drove for about 8 hours, before we stopped in Trondheim, and stayed there until today(Sunday). Took about 90 minutes to get to the school from Trondheim.

So, my reality for a year ahead....I'm staying in a 6 square meter room, with one room mate. She seems nice, although I haven't gotten to know her quite yet....Today has been a bit difficult, separating from my dad. he was in a great hurry, since he was going fishing, felt a bit cold to me, but...

Sitting in the living room now, feeling a bit home sick today, but hopefully it will pass....going to bed now, I have to get up early tomorrow, we are sharing the bathroom with 12 other people...TTYL

Movie of the week: The OC(TV-series

2 days...

It's 2 days left! Or one and a half, I guess...went to the doctor today, and got myself vaksinated for a trip to India, or at least I'm almost done, I have to go back in a month to get one more shot....Can't say I'm a big fan of needles, but it usually helps not looking. I also managed to fix my highlights today, so I feel a bit more attractive today:-)

16.08 - 5 days left

5 days left....

Went to Oslo last Thursday, to get the rest of the photo equipment, the rest of the week, will be spent on dentist, doctors visit, haircut, packing, and a much needed shopping trip(not really looking forward to it), and then I'm leaving on Saturday...Had my last day at work on Saturday, it's a bit weird that I won't be back to work until December, and then only for a few days.

Looks like this is becoming a very short update, but there's a little lack of inspiration these days, I don't have much to write about these days...

update

A month ago, I bought a pair of shorts, and they didn't fit, but I figured I would keep them, and try to get in to them later...today, I am going out, and I had nothing to wear, so I tried them on today, AND THEY FIT!!!!!!!!!! finally:-)

I'm back!

I'm back from a FANTASTIC weekend on Beitostølen:-) Traveled up on Thursday, with a bunch of teenagers, and 2 of the teachers of a drama club I was part of for a few years....Over the weekend, we have worked on the script to a show the group is putting on in October. Since I'm leaving in 2 weeks, I am not acting this year but I got to hep writing the script over the weekend. I have also taken a lot of pictures, they will be used in a 'scrapbook', and will be sent around to everyone who has been part of the production...I have had a lot of fun, and I met some really amazing people! The show will be on the 24th of October in Asker Kulturhus, and I reconmend to EVERYONE to go and see it:-)

My inspiration also came back, and I got some AMAZING photos this weekend! I will post some of them here, but out of respect for everyone on the trip, I will not post any photos of the other people...

There is now 13 days left until I move up north, and I am starting to really look forward to it. the panick feeling has vanished after the weekend, I got to get a lot of my fears out of my system, and being able to take so much pictures now has given me a small feeling of what next year will be like....

Last: I will also reconmend a new blog. this is written by an AMAZING young singer/dancer called Herbie. I met him over the weekend. his blog is brand new, you can find it here.

TTYL!
