Here is a little update . . . After the return from Bergen, we no longer have classes with the school, but two weeks left of intense religious studies with a Concordia professor as well as finishing papers and projects! It is like finals week, but we managed to have some fun in between! Most of us girls out having a good time!
Yes, there have been plenty of days where we have classes until 4:00 and then spend the rest of the day researching and working on homework. Yet on the other hand we have found some downtime to hang out in Lillehammer and see our international friends again! We have enjoyed a couple nights in where we have had random conversations around the dinner table after making suppers like our attempt at mac and cheese! Delicious, yet not quite Kraft! We have made a couple appearances outside our flat walls going to visit the international students, out to Bingo - one of the nightclubs, the local Brewery for drinks, and a neat bar place Nikkers was quite the night to remember in Norway! That's Kevin and I with our Captain Morgan glasses!!
Also mixed in, we have had time together as a group included our leaders and visiting professors where we enjoyed a chili feed together, attended a mosque and muslim prayer service for learning purposes, and even made a return trip to Maihaugen to see the open air museum this time around. This week has turned a little busier with international students going away parties/grill outs, our schools choir concert that a few of us participated in, and a celebration called X-russefest is taking place with the High School students, a long-going tradition in Norway! It is like a month long celebration of partying where they wear red, blue, or black colored pants as part of graduation! 
Here I am with a bunch of guys who have previously graduated in red pants! It is a bit tough to explain :) We finish off this week by heading west to a fishing village called Gulstein where we will spend 6 days living in a peaceful fjord village area and just relaxing! Then comes a weekend in Trondheim, followed by four days in Dublin! The end is drawing near and I hope to be returning as scheduled on May 21st back to the states!
