At least they didn't use the unoriginal name 'Vikings'

So a bunch of the guys in our group started a soccer team, and they're in some sort of an university championship thingie. Basically, it's a bunch of amateur soccer teams from the University of North Dakota (of which I am enrolled in, in case you've missed it. Got me a student card and everything!).

And their first game was this Monday! So we girls (+ one of the guys) went with them to cheer them on. It started out great, after the first half the score was 3 - 1 to us. But it went downhill in the second half. I'm not sure what the final score was, but I think it was 3 - 5 or 4 - 5. Now, it may have been because of some stupid rules that Europeans are not familiar with. For instance, you almost weren't allowed to touch someone from the other team without getting 2 minutes. That's what it looked like to me anyways. Stupid rules... Or maybe it had something to do with the name of our soccer team? The Viqueens!


One of my classmates has brought his girlfriend, and she's gonna have a few dance classes at a high school in the area. She got invited to a.... wait for it...

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! 

(No, not the High School Musical musical)

Or so we thought. Turned out to be a theater play of the "12 Angry Men", or "12 Angry Jurors". But the coolest part was that she could bring friends, for free, so we joined her. I was impressed. To say the least. The cast was great considering they're in high school, and the scenes was as if you went to a professional theater in Norway. (Haven't really been to many theaters in Norway, so I might be wrong here... But I don't think so)

What was great, though, was that one of the teachers gave us a tour of the school before the play started. It's so very, very different from Norwegian school. So. Much. They actually spend money on the schools over here! Sad thing though, I forgot to bring my camera... Again! Aaargh!

I've come up with a new corner in my blog. It's called

THE AMERICAN WAY

Now.. this is where I'll share with you things i do/try out which is regular stuff for the Americans. Today?

The peanut butter and marshmallows sandwich! Never heard of it? Yeah, whatever. It's out there. Now. I finally found me a BIG bag of mini marshmallows. The peanut butter was already bought and paid for, and I actually found a bread that doesn't act like a pillow when you touch it! By the way, a bread we bought almost 2 weeks ago is still soft. And still looks fresh. So freaky. I don't even wanna touch it wearing gloves. Holding a stick.

Note to self: Check out how to make these things before you go out and buy the ingredients.

Apparently, you can get marshmallow cream over here. Which is what you're actually supposed to use on the sandwich. Which makes me understand why the sandwich is actually called 'Fluffernutter' (Fluff is the name of the marshmallow cream, peanut butter has nuts in it. Fluff, Fluffer. Nuts, Nutter. There. I spelled it out for you. With a teaspoon)

But behold! I have a microwave in my kitchen! So I figured I could just melt the marshmallows and apply it on the sandwich, which brings me to;

Note to self 2: Marshmallows in a microwave expands. ALOT! Pay attention next time... oyh.

The sandwich? It was alright enough, but I HAVE to try it with the proper ingredients, so it's a TO BE CONTINUED.


PS: Wanted to see Criminal Minds on TV tonight, had checked the airtime on the web and was ready in front of the TV 5 minutes to 9 PM. Only.... apparently the time wasn't relevant to my time-zone, so Criminal Minds aired at 8 PM. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Gimme a friggin' break!

Song of the day:
Heard this song the other day and brought me back to the good old childhood years in my grandparent's basement living-room.
