thanks you mom, for your perfect advent calendar! i was so happy when i opened the package this morning, i swear i had tears in my eyes. just 13 days before i'm going home for christmas, can't wait to see you all!
btw i am coming home as a 4 year old girl... i got a haircut yesterday, to take away the blond color that had almost grown out. it looks horrible, and now i have no idea what to do. any idea where to buy authentic looking wigs, anyone?
bisous!
i walked around in Lyon this afternoon, shopping for christmas presents :)
i knew it! lyonerhjulet is back!
napoleon? in the background you see the church "notre dame de fourvière" and lyon's version of the eiffel tower. i think it's a television tower or something

today it snowed like crazy, and this is what happened:
french people: "oh noo, where's my umbrella?"
norwegian people: "come on girls, let's go outside!"
mexican person: "wow, this is the first time I see snow"
okay, so the first smily is the norwegian people in lyon when it snows, and the other one ( :O ) is the french
i just want to wish you a happy first december tomorrow, as i probably won't be in the mood to blog.
good night !
the first thing i saw this morning when i left the house was a thin layer of white snow on the cars, and later today, it really started snowing. it was like tiny pieces of norway was falling from the sky, finally it's snowing here too!
tonight all the norwegians met and ate tacos, before we all went and saw the new Harry Potter film. i thought the film was ok, but i didn't like the end at all.. have you seen it yet?
haha
car on fire outside of my apartment. i feel like michael jackson holding my baby (my mac) out the window, but as my camera is broken, voilà what happens. what is it with france and burning cars? when angry demonstrates don't put the cars on fire, they do it themselves. wow.
good night!
corresponding to my latest post about frenchmen speaking english, and as i can't stop laughing, i just have to share it with you:
well, you should..
today was the day of "conseil de classe", which means that all the teachers come together to say what they think about the class, and to discuss grades. at 17h i had a meeting with my norwegian teacher to talk about my grades for the first trimester, and how i am doing in general. i am pretty happy with mine, but i have to work hard with my biggest weekness: biology. hahaha, i got under 5 of 20. in english it went better, as french people "don't not speeks magnifique english. but zere iz, hovever, exeptions." yeah there are french people who speak great english too, i'm just playing with the "stereotypical" french person.
it's almost december, amost christmas, and almost home. and so cold that i decided to cover myself in sheep before the meeting earlier. bææ
