Longing back to Saint-Malo...
Intra-Muros...

Sweet!

A Norwegian lesson out of the ordinary

Our Norwegian teacher fainted today...!

She said she didn't feel well and asked the class to behave extraordinary calm and quiet... She started the roll call, and was half way to the end when she stopped and leant her back against the chair while closing her eyes. The class became more and more quiet... Then she opened her eyes again, and continued the roll call, but with greater problems. She quitted again, and rested her head and arms against the desk in front of her. It was weird. I suggested to my friend that we maybe should go after somebody. But then our teacher suddenly fell sidewards onto the floor.

We were quick, though. A couple of girls ran to her at once, while some other of us ran after grown-ups. The situation was quite weird, a bit creepy, and seemed in a way fake. We were told to leave the classroom, and were updated from time to time.

She regained consciousness after a little while, and sat up by herself. The ambulance came, and she went to the doctor.

Our poor teacher! She wanted to continue the lecturing after she "woke up"! She's that kind of person who hates staying at home by reason of sickness, but now she needs to be home until Thursday...

This incident made me think about two things:

* That I, when she fainted, actually didn't know exactly what to do, the right way to react, (that's maybe why I ran after some grown-ups instead) - what if I come into a more serious situation later, which require me to act even more quicker? What if it is about life and death? Hello! I even wondered if it was the right thing to give an unconscious person water!! My knowledge is really imperfect at this field...

* That some people don't know they're own limitations and that this could harm them very badly some day (even though everything went very well this time, after all...)

Good things happens

During the last week, a lot of good things have happened.

E.g. last Friday, when I had a long talk about Jesus, God, the gospel, sin, the Old Testament, the New Testament (and the difference), ++, with a good friend.

Or Tuesday, when the school year's first praying meeting gathered six people - twice the number of people normally gathered last year.

Or yesterday, when a girl I often talk to at the bus, came together with me to 3pStation, our church's youth group.

Or today, when New Generation at my school arranged a stand in the canteen, which made our school mates in a good mood, and moreover gave a friend of me the ability to preach the gospel to some of her class mates.

Back to school...

Yesterday: First day at school. A lot of talking from our always-talking-Norwegian-teacher-who-this-year-will-teach-not-
only-Norwegian-but-also-citizenship-and-because-of-that-she's-
going-to-talk-in-not-lesser-than-eight-of-my-school-lessons--
teacher...
BUT also a lot of nice talking to my school mates who I haven't seen since June! :D That was nice :)

Today: The school year's first lessons...
Spanish, Chemistry and Maths.
I had to concentrate more than usual during the Spanish lesson today, since I studied French this summer... (It's "Me llamo Silje," not "Je m'appelle Silje", and "ahora," not "maintenant"... hehe ;P)

We've got homework. Already. In all today's subjects. But not much. Luckily.

I have a new teacher in Maths this year! I'm very satisfied, because last year's teacher made me feel like Maths was boring (and I know it really isn't...). It seems like Maths is going to be more interesting this year...

We have got four new students in our class. One of the new girls is taking Maths, Physics and Chemistry, so probably we'll do some co-operating :)

At Friday we're going to make body lotion in Chemistry.
Cool!

Vacation

I've been away from cyber world for a looong time, but now I've received my new Tundra 1500K, so hopefully things will improve... :)

It's Sunday.
It's a nice day.
The sun is shining.

School starts tomorrow... :P

I've made my decition!

Yesterday I ordered a Tundra 1500K!
It was even recommended for exactly what I am going to use it for!!!
I found it just after I had been looking at the Fujitsu Siemens for a while.. It was really a coincidence! Or maybe it was a God-incidence...??
The design is much cooler, don't you think?
And it was 1500 kr cheaper than the other one.
I actually want this one! :)

I'm back... And I'm looking for a new laptop...

Hi folks!!

I've been away for a long, long time...
But enough about that - I don't have time at the moment to tell you about anything that has happened during the last 6 weeks...

But: I'm looking for a new laptop...
And today I found this one (I discovered that my last favourite (Acer Aspire) didn't have firewire, etc...).
It's a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2085 - and it's not that expensive either. As I can see, it has "everything" that I need. The only thing I don't like, is the design - which I think is quite boring...

If anyone has any experiences with this laptop (or other Fujitsu Siemens laptops), please tell me!

I need it to:

• edit films (with Studio 9...) (that's why I need 80 GB and 1024 MB RAM...)
  
• write!
• surf the internet (as quick as possible... ;P)
• listen to music (not that important..)
  
• look at pictures/photos, etc...
• study French...
• ... and a lot more that I don't remember at the moment...

Thanks! :)

I'll be back in a month...!

There are only three days left before we leave North-Norway and go to Oslo.
There are only five days left before we leave Norway and travel to France.

I don't think there will be any activity on this blog before the end of July / beginning of August.

But if you're interested, we've currently posting from a travel blog we've just made which will update you from our stay in Saint Malo, France. It's a kind of this-is-happening-at-the-moment-(and-hopefully-documented-with-pictures)-blog. Enjoy!

Visit Hilsen St Malo!

Have a nice summer!

An interesting story about filling up a glass

A teacher was lecturing in front of his his students.

On the desk in front of him he had a glass, a little heap of middlesized stones, a little heap of gravel, a little heap of pebbles and a little heap of sand.

Without saying anything, he placed two middlesized stones in the glass. There was not any place left for a third one.

"Is the glass filled up now?" he asked the students.
"Yes," the students said.
The teacher looked at them for a while, then dropped some gravel into the glass.
Again he asked the students if the glass was filled up, and again they answered yes. Then he dropped some of the pepples into the glass, asked again, and at last the sand filled up every empty space in the glass.

"Is it filled up now?" he asked.
They all agreed.

Without saying a word, the teacher lifted a jug of water from the floor, which he had hidden, and poured the content into the glass.

The glass was now full.


Make sure you've filled up your glass, your life, in right order.

The most important things first.
The foundation.
Then the important things, then the less important things, and then the small, but still, important things.


My foundation is Jesus Christ, and I've experienced that when letting him be The Middlesized Stone in my life, I don't feel that anything is missing.

There's still plenty of room for the rest - the things that are important for us. Family, friends, job, education, - when prioritating in the right order.
