vacation!

Okay, I figured I should give a sign of being alive by now, sorry....

At the moment, I am back in Asker on vacation. I have been here for about a week now, arriving eeeeaaaaarly Saturday morning last week! About a month ago, a friend and I figured out we would take the night train from Trondheim to Oslo, this I am NEVER doing again!!!!!

I left Sund around 3.30pm Friday afternoon. A lot of people had left already, but there were some still left, who weren't leaving until Saturday morning or late Friday night When the taxi pulled out , the students who hadn't left yet, stood by the road, waving, and as we drove by, they did 'the wave'! This almost made me cry, because a lot of these people I won't see until after christmas, as a lot of them leaves for class trips this weekend, and won't be back until mid december or after christmas. Anyway, I arrived in Trondheim around 5.30pm, but since my train to Oslo wasn't leaving until 11pm, I had a couple of very fun hours, playing tourist in Trondheim. Never having been there before, I just walked around, taking pictures, before I met my friend Ingelin for dinner at Peppes.

As I wrote eralier, we left Trondheim at 11pm, and after a 8 hour train ride, with a total of 2 hours sleep, you can pretty much say that I was a wreck, but after some breakfast and a very hot, long shower, I was good for a few hours....During this week, I've been doing a photography job for the local theatre group, spending 4 days watching them rehearse for a production they are putting on tomorrow. This job started early August really, when a very close friend of mine called. She's an acter, and I've been working with her on and off for a couple of years. She told me that she was directing a play that would premiere in the middle of October, and she asked me if I wanted to document the process and the premiere. I documented for about 4 days in August, and I came back for the vacation week to do the rest. I really love doing it, I have had so much fun, and I've met some really amazing people! I am so happy I got the chance to do it, and I also met a very special someone during this job....

During the rest of my vacation, it has been a lot of family visits, as well as a trip to Sandefjord, and spending time with a special someone. It has been a very nice weekend, but I don't know why I call it a vacation, because having moved out, I have experienced that coming home means that I have to plan visits to EVERY family member....it's fun though.

One of the things I have discovered this week, is that during the last couple of months, I have become a real camera nazi. The camera has been with me almost every day, almost everywhere, and I suspect that it will be even worse when I return from 3 weeks in India. India, yes....in 9 days we're leaving! It's so weird, the last couple of months has gone by so fast!!!!!I don't think it has hit me yet, most likely it will when we land in Bangalore....Packing is another thing. Several things are coming with me when I go back to school now, but there is so much to keep track on!!! We'll see how it goes. Now, I'm headed to Oslo to get battery and memory card for my camera...ttyl. I am also posting some fall picture this time...
