First week done =D

 Before I get into today, the picture to the right was the view from our first hike as a school a few days ago.


Now, its Sunday and I've finished my first year here in Voss!  Its been a great week and so much has happened already.  The first day I had dedicated to my major, frisport, we had some class time explaining what we would do this year and then went down town to do this..
I definitely didnt think that this was possible, but by the end of the day I could make it to the end and almost back.  Some of the the others did as well, maybe 2 or 3 of them so me and my friend Audun had to do better.  We did handstands.  Ill be sure to put pictures of that up later!

The next day we spent the day dancing.  Now I was a little skeptical about that, but it turned out being my favorite day.  The school was split into 4 groups and sent to different rooms where they would learn a dance.  After 45 minutes we would switch rooms and move onto the next. The first dance, strip the willow, was a group dance that one of the students from Scotland taught us.  The next was a series of traditional folk dances that I dont know the name of..  Then we moved onto the next room and did waltz which was one of my favorites and probably the hardest.  Got to dance and get to know some great girls here.  Finally, we did another traditional folk dance, which again I cant remember the name of.  After dinner the entire school got together in the gym and did all the dances we had learned during the day while the teachers sang and played music.  That has been my favorite day so far.

Along with your major you choose a minor, or elective.  I chose drawing and yoga.  Now, as good as yoga made me feel I was so sore afterwards.  Its a good thing to have though because I am doing a lot of training up here (lifting).

Finally today was our day of, Sunday, so I took advantage and slept until around 11:30.  I got some training in and then went to dinner which was at 3:00.... Its going to take a while to get used to that.  After dinner Me and some guys went to town where we went swimming and saw a huge fire.  Apparently a gas station had caught on fire in town.. not the best thing to happen.  It turned out to be ok though, the response time was very good and it got put out very quickly.

And now its Sunday night and my second week starts tomorrow.  We're going to test out the kyyacks tomorrow and then will be on a trip from Fednsday to Friday.  Im very exited to do that and will be taking plenty of pictures.
