Daily adventures

Hi!

It's been a while since we have posted the last entry. January is over and February started just like a normal February would start: Grey sky, cold, rain. We have had a lot of storms lately and all the snow has now turned into water flooding the field in front of our house and the rest of Stavanger, too.
But we are fine with it, because the busy atmosphere of this time caught us all. There are a lot of projects coming soon, in two weeks we're going to host UKM, the talent contest of Stavanger, Vincent is preparing his Parcour workshop and at Tasta we now have Bingo nights.
A few weeks ago Pavel and I joined the choir of Stavanger University, which is quite funny so far. But they all speak Norwegian (of course), so the challenge is on! Most important is certainly the upcoming Midterm seminar in two days!
Wednesday we are going to go to Oslo and stay there until Sunday - meeting all the other volunteers again and hopefully having a wonderful time. We cannot believe that time went by so fast! It is not really the midterm seminar for us since we are staying here for another 7 months, but most of the other projects end in June or July. Therefore we are all looking forward to seeing the other volunteers again - maybe some of them for the last time. After the seminar I'm gonna go to Narvik, a city far in the north of Norway, where the other German volunteers and me will try to experience the real Norwegain winter and maybe maybe maybe see some Northern Lights.
There will be a lot to tell afterwards! Other than that there is not much new here. Folken is back again and we finally know how to spend our weekends again (just kidding - usually there are more than enough parties or camping trips or Sushi Nights or whatever going on here- sometimes you just want to stay home all alone by yourself). But the outside life shrinks on running from somewhere to the bussstop or the other way around, because you really want to spend as few time as possible in the rain.
The nature is still beautiful, but as for now, you'll need a life west to experience it.

Next update after the seminar :)
