So, while I'm sure anyone who actually read my blog previously has since 'jumped ship' for lack of activity, I thought I should probably attempt to, you know, actually keep up with this thing. I have about 50 pages to read for class, packing to do for a minicruise to Copenhagen tomorrow, and a room that resembles the back patio after one of those crazy Nebraska thunderstorms -- what better time to catch up on my blog, right? ; )
The gist of the last four weeks or so: busy, fun, a-mazing weather (though, it is admittedly dreary today, drat!), buying a plant, eating chocolate, visiting fortresses, oh, and going to class occasionally.
Last night was the autumnal equinox, and Oslo certainly celebrates it in style. Around 8 o'clock in the evening, masses of people headed down to the river. Candles lit either side of the walkway long the water. Spotlights of green, blue, purple, yellow cast a magical glow along the route and on the waterfalls. Bands played and choirs sang along the way. And to top it all off, there was a very light mist falling -- very mystical!
It was a gorgeous night to get out and enjoy both nature and the city, and celebrate one last time before night begins to overtake day.
Tomorrow, a group of us are traveling to Copenhagen on a mini-cruise. It's my first time on a real ship, and I'm extremely excited. Don't worry, Momma, I won't lean over the railing. It should be very fun, and we get to go to an amusement park, too! Woo!
I miss you all, and keep you in my heart!
