alright alright. so few people who arrange to move somewhere before visiting it end up loving it...but AHA! its amazing. i love it. its expensive. its dirty by scandanavian standards. but its beautiful. old. the people are fantastic.
i might have found a connection to get a job. i'm visiting the school tomorrow and am staying in a hostel tonight. ugg. even hostels are expensive but i've arranged to stay with a couchsurfing host through the weekend so i'll get to hang with a journalism student for two days. he just emailed to say we missed out on a festival today...gay marriage is legal in norway as of today. so i might move here for good. or not.
i also found out that not only does the government pay for people attending their universities they pay for any university internationally that citizens are accepted to. ridiculous.
so its off to the fjords on saturday, some raucous fun tomorrow that may or may not include a spinning class (we were invited to one in the morning by a guy we met at a bar), a few norwegian lessons, a tube ride, a bike rental, apartment hunting, and oh yes...mom's birthday!!!!
i may not have the forsight to get a birthday card in the mail...but HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I love you and miss you and think of you pretty consistently and wish i could hug you and say happy birthday but i'm too busy taking advantage of everything you have encouraged and supported me in doing.
so anyone reading this call the sing sing and give that woman what she's due.
