Arrival

Greetings from the beautiful (and very rainy) land of Norway! Yes, indeed, we have all arrived safely, even Rob, who missed the plane and caught the next one, getting here at around 2am (that’s Norway time, ps.), but still missing his luggage. Quite sorely too, as we started work the next day and so he had no clothing suitable to wear for that... or anything else for that matter.
Everything here is beautiful and the food is extremely healthy but also tasty, but it needs black pepper. Lucky for me, i just so happen to have brought my own supply. My bed is awesomely skinny but surprisingly comfortable, and I have proudly hung the Canadian flag above my bed. My roommate (I’ll post pictures at a later date), Natalia, is 27 years old and from Moldova. So far we get along good and she’s a really nice, amusing person. So that is a relief.
On Mondays and Wednesdays we have work in the afternoons, and so far I have been working with green beans. I did 8 hours last week and 4 hours so far this week, but I won’t be doing any today, so yay! Today we had our first test and I think I did pretty well since I actually studied for it.
The school is placed just out of the town of Skotselv, which is hardly a town, but I like it because I feel as though I belong here, just because of my last name, or something like it. The “town” has a gas station, a bank and a grocery store (BunnPris). It’s tiny yet awesome. It just needs a coffee shop and a Chinese restaurant and it would be complete.
Update: ROB GOT HIS LUGGAGE BACK ON AUGUST 28, 2007! HURRAY!
