DS, thou art heartless.....

Flitting off to Bergen on the (almost) midnight train. I won't be taking my wonderful laptop -- how will I survive? Very Man vs. Nature of me, huh?

Hope all is wonderful in Nebraska. Carve some good pumpkins for me!

Jeg snakker engelsk, litt spansk, og litt norsk!

Yes, I fail at blogging. I keep starting new posts and giving up halfway through. So, we're going to try something new! More, shorter blogs....hopefully.

So, here's an incredibly short recap of October:

- It's cold! Not super cold, but I finally had to buy a warmer jacket. It's sporty. And red.
- It's dark! It's hard getting used to how quickly we lose sunlight up here. Each day is over 5 minutes shorter than the one before (until we get to mid-November, then it'll slow down). Yes, I looked that up. Which means we lose a whole hour in less than two weeks, if I'm doing my math right. The Winter solstice has less than 6 hours of daylight! Insane!
- I sleep a lot! Hardly surprising, given the previous two points. But, then, I've always been fond of my "z's."
- I'm going bowling tonight! Need I say more?
- Trips!!  Actually, my October was devoid of trips, but there was **much** planning going on!
              - Next week, a group of us are going to Bergen! It's a seven-hour trip across the country, said to be one of the most beautiful train rides there is!
              - The first weekend in November, we're having a group trip to the forest for a hike or something like.
              - Nov 12-15th I'm going to Amsterdam to meet up with some friends I met when I was in Helsinki for summer school in 2008.
              - Dec 11-13th we're headed to Tromsø. It's over 180 miles inside the Arctic Circle, and we're hoping we'll get lucky and see some Northern Lights.
- Oh, and I've been going to class and studying occasionally, too. ; )


I guess that's most of the important points....miss you all!

Ha det bra!
