When the tornado siren goes off and all the Norwegians runs outside instead of down to the garage.
It went off 3 times, but all we saw was an amazing show of thunderstorms. I did film some of it, but since I managed to displace my iPod I don't know if it's good or worth putting up... Let's hope I find i tomorrow

End of week.... I have no idea.
But I do know that I only have a little over 6 weeks left! :D To be more precise, 46 days.
May 17th has been celebrated here as well. School gave us the day off, so we decided to party on the 16th, in true Norwegian tradition. the weather was nice, and we rented a park (!) for 60 dollars (!!) including a permit to drink alcohol (!!!). So we grilled and ate and drank and played in the park until sunset, and then went back to one of the apartments where the party continued.
The day after, I had lost my wallet. But I had been smart enough in my drunkenness to take all my money out before I lost it. Genius! I did, however, find it later on the day at El Roco, where we went out the day before, so all is good.
On May 17th we were invited to our training coordinators house, where we got sour cream porridge and a light buffet. That was really nice. Surprisingly enough, his garage is big enough to hold 36 students plus 2 families. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has 3 garages combined O.o.
After school yesterday, most of us students and 3 instructors met up at a soccer field to have an epic battle between ACC and TWR/APP. We played with 11 persons on the field, and what do you know! TWR/APP won! 4-3. One might say that it was kind of unfair since ACCs only 12 persons while TWR/APP is 24 persons, so ACC only had one substitute and we had like... 5. But I choose to ignore that fact.
Also, I challenged a buddy to only make left turns while we were on our way to the cinema. It's a great way to experience new parts of the city! And it let us spend some time before the movie started as well.

The week of hell is over!
Now I only have 2-3 of those left. *cringe*
We had what is called a Milestone test this Friday, so I've been building a study guide (which ended up being 103 pages... oyh...) and studying since last Saturday. So this weekend will consist of very little studying until Sunday evening. A present from me, to me ^^. I ended up with a 92%, so I'm satisfied. Especially since I got 84% the week before.
In other news, I found a dessert I just had to try... FRIED CHEESECAKE! Seriously, if there's one thing the Americans are really good at, it's frying stuff. Cuz if it's good, it's gotta be better when fried!
Also, I'm working on my negotiation skills.
Cut to scene:
Creepy/perv classmate: Liv! You gotta buy Portal 2 so I have someone to play multiplayer with.
Me: Meeeh...
Creepy/perv classmate: Come on...
Me: Hmm... only if you share the dessert with me (I couldn't possibly eat it all by myself)
Creepy/perv classmate: You're buying?
Me: ...Sure!
So not only do I have to buy a new game, I had to buy the dessert as well.
Negotiation skills = work in progress.
PS: The fried cheesecake? Not recommended.

Not about me...
This is my sister in Winnipeg.
Self-absorbed much? And I thought I was bad!
Also,
The flood was visible in Winnipeg as well.
