First couple days

Over the past couple of days we have had some free time to check out the city, take some buses, see the sights, and so forth. We got orientated within our group - really sat down and got to know everyone. All of us are really excited about the plans for travel and the weekends off that we can plan ourselves. We had a night with the international students from all sorts of countries including; Denmark, Netherlands, Latvia, Spain, France, Germany, and England! They are quite the crew, we headed to a night club and danced to some pretty techno style music! Yet we hope to hang out with them again soon. We have been taken around the school, learned the lunch/dinner routine, and got our student IDs. I love the look of the school and the food there is not too bad - still feeling it out and trying new things! Today we started classes and enjoyed them for the most part. We have culture and society class that will mostly focus on a bunch of different topics and we'll have speakers everyday. We are taking a Norwegian course with all the international students and that class is just a riot!! History started which is part 1 of 3 for our scan studies. Then religion will start later this week! We all realize how busy we are going to get and just how fast time will fly!
