We now officially have 24 days left before we leave this charming place called Grand Forks and turn our heads towards Norway :D I gotta admit it, I'm really looking forward to it. Really.
News since last time you read about me:
- We rented a partybus one weekend and drove around in the city while drinking and partying! It was our way to say goodbye to two classmates who had to go home before their time... But I think they got a really good party before they went, at least.
- A bunch of us had weekend plans to go to Winnipeg and see the U2 concert one weekend when we had the Monday off, but the school managed to screw us over by telling us that the week with 3 tests in a row was moved one week ahead, aka the week right after the U2 concert. Thanks for the heads up (not). So a couple of us decided to drive up to Winnipeg the day the show was, and go back home early the day after since we had lots to study. They could at least have told us earlier so we would have the chance to study before the weekend, when they (again) knew that many of us had plans.
Here's a few pics from the show:

And BTW, I did good on the tests. All three of them =)
Funny thing, though. When we went back to the US (Winnipeg is in Canada) the border-guy obviously didn't believe us when we said that we had no alcohol or tobacco in the car with us. I don't get it! Five 20-year old people? We looked like angels! So we had to drive our car into a garage where they searched our stuff and the car. They didn't find anything, though.
Also, on the way back we went low on fuel. Like really low. So I took a detour off the highway in search of a gas station, and when we finally found it, we also found a sign pointing us in the direction of Voss. You gotta love it ^^. (Oslo is also nearby here)
- We're finally done with the weekly tests! We had the last one yesterday, and all we have left now is the final exam on Thursday. And the week after that, we start our practical exams, so we're really close to the finish line now.
PS: Sometimes it's bad that we don't have the norwegian letters Æ Ø Å on our mobile phones over here. I got this message the other day:
"Har sendt mld og bedt dem ga til dae. Men du kan kanskje stikke opp og hore."
Which translates to:
"I've sent a message and asked them to go to you. But maybe you can go upstairs and whore."
It was supposed to be listen =) I got a good laugh from it, though.
