Term has started...

Well... then the summer vacation came to its end and people from Sortland have already finished a whole week at school...
For me and those who are as old as I am, this week has been more special because we've started at a new school (videregående skole) with new teachers and new classmates. Yeah, it has been an interesting week...! Only four persons from my old class join me in the new one.... But luckily two of them are two of my best friends! :)
My teachers seem to be very clever and professional, and the class starts to act like a class (if you know what I mean...), which I think is very positive! :)

It doesn't seem like we have so much homework to do as last year either.... :)

This is the Norwegian New Generation website. It is updated very often (maybe not now in summer) and gives reports of what happens through New Generation at schools all over the country.
Read more about New Generation in my article "What is New Generation?" or better; check out New Generation at their own website.

Internet at my own computer!!!!!

Not everybody is as lucky as me to have their own computer, but because it is a Windows 95, I can't do all my "stuff" on it. Usually I only use it when I write essays and such things at school. The internet didn't work (my dad tried to install it, but it didn't succeed) - and what use is a computer for then?
Yes, you heard right - it didn't work... But Sunday was a remarkable day... The weather was pretty bad and because I work eight hours every day all week, except Sundays, I was only inside that day without doing anything interesting. Suddenly I got the idea to try and install the internet at my little computer, though I knew my father had tried to do it before. I asked him for the network-card and he told me to download a network-driver (or something) at the internet (at his computer, of course). I found the driver, downloaded it and connected the network-card. I tried to install the driver, but it seemed like the card wouldn't co-operate with the computer... I gave up.
Later that day I clicked at the internet-icon at the desktop.... and suddenly I was on the net! I couldn't believe it because I had also tried the internet without "installing" the driver and then it certainly didn't work. But then.. :-D This post is actually written on my little computer!!!
Of course it is still better to use the internet at my father's computer, but anyway... !
It is really a blessing that it suddenly worked! :)
