...

evening my dears. been a goodgood four-day weekend, but now it's back to school, with a slightly new schedule. It's Veteran's Day tomorrow, so at least we don't have as much school as usual, and we have to sing (the choir). I'm also in an all girls little singing group now outside the choir, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. And for some odd reason we're kinda into the whole "Mean Girls"-christmas preformance now, so this should get pretty interesting.

Anyways..Over to something totally different. Here in my town, beautiful Blue Earth, the votes ended up going in McCain's favour, which I guess I wasn't really surprised about. I have to admit that his concession speech was extremely good and so was Obama's victory speech, chills...

Busy week now, but I'll talk to you as soon as possible
You're the best buds
Love L

happy election day!

so the day is finally here, and it's amazing how split up it seems to be. Even my hostfamily is split up, so we're really excited to see the results, i'm guessing this whole evening will be spent in front of the tv.. I was so surprised when I first came here, cuz there's actually a great deal of people that are for McCain, YOUNG people. So no matter what. there's gonna be some crabby faces at school tomorrow. oh well, we don't have any other choice than to just wait and see..

heyheyhey

Short little update here, i'll have a good one at the end of this weekend! We had a Harvest Choir Concert on tuesday, so that was fun, we kind of screwed up a little bit, but I don't think anyone noticed. Other than that I haven't done anything too spectacular this week, but tomorrow is gonna be fun, since halloween is really big here and stuff. so party party! haha!

I do have a kind of sad message though, Kathrine from camp went home to norway last weekend, because she didn't get along with her hostfamily. Her, Anette and me were gonna go to hawaii together so that's kinda sad, but Anette and me are still gonna go. excited!

Kathrine; see you when we come home, miss u

I don't have any pictures from the choir concert, but im gonna post some pictures from camp this summer!

a handful of foreigners

We had a foreign exchange student thing yesterday, kind of pre-halloween thing. Halloween is a really big deal here, so next weekend should be interesting! So we went to this haunted house or ghost house or whatever, and we could only go three at a time. It wasn't too scary, but in one room there were like dusins of doors and we had to find our way out, and that was kind of a struggle..but after like 10 minutes we found the right door! Then we went to pizza ranch and then bowling, haha. we didn't really bowl too much though (luckily), we just sat talked about how fat we are getting:)

I have to read a very interesting..hrmf.. book for American Literature now... and study for chemistry

so long, Lene

MEA...

Minnesota Education Assosiation or something. This simply means a break for the students, some days to sleep in and relax, pretty nice. So we got 5 days off, thursday-tuesday. On thursday I just slept in and caught up with my shows, One Tree Hill, House, Heroes... And I met Kiera for tanning, haha! Friday we went down to Decorah, Iowa again to meet family and to take my Senior Pictures. Senior pictures is a tradition for all seniors, they get their pictures taken by some photographer or some one else, and then they share them with the school and one of them goes to the yearbook. Anyways, it was actually kind of fun, and I got to go to a lot of cool places for my pictures, including a really nice art center at Luther college. Saturday I met up with my EF Camp buddies Henni & Anna cuz it was Henni's birthday. So I spent the weekend at their house and I got to meet their friends and we had a bonfire birthday party kind of thing! AND we had cake:)


Anna (Sweden), Allie (US), Me & Henni(Norway) at an icecream place, yummi

Talk to you soon buddies!

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball season is over now, and it feels weird. It's pretty much what I have based my life around the past 3 months. So yeah, that's kinda sad. But I've had so much fun with the team, I mean, practise, games and everything. It's been amazing, and i'm gonna miss it. Here's a few pictures from volleyballseason '08.

No that volleyball is over, maybe I'll have some extra time to blog! And leave comments so I now what you want me to write about and stuff, and it's always nice to hear about home and everything. I'm trying to make this a good place to be updated at, but it takes time, haha

I'll talk to you soon darling friends, hihi
