In the
beginning of the week I met Jakob another young Norwegian living his life here
in Rennes this year. He travelled with Explorius, another organization who
arranges exchange. He is a very nice guy who is very engaged into human rights
and politics, but especially human rights. He is an active member of Amnesty
International, and lives in Tønsberg, Norway. We had a great lunch Monday, I really
enjoyed it. In the evening I skipped my handball training because I had to work
with an German presentation, first ever – hahaha!
The
next day was the usual up 620AM and come home 630PM. So there isn’t much to
tell other that it was a long and fatiguing day. It’s literally work, eat and
sleep.
Wednesday
on the other hand is the best day of the week! Start school 9AM and finish
noon. First we have one hour of history with the best teacher, and then 2 hours
GYM. After school Ahmed, Amin, (?) and
me went to the movies to see no pain no gain, IN FRENCH! It’s bizarre to watch
dubbed movies, the mouth of the actor and the French voice just isn’t synchronized.
But it’s genius, when they don’t have something to do (no tests the day after)
they come to the movies, pay for one movie and when it’s finished they go into
another hall. They keep on going on like that the whole evening seeing up to 4
movies for the price of one. So Wednesday we watched 2 movies, cool!

Thursday I had
my first test.. (MATH) I love math! Well it went well in the beginning (1st
part but then it got too complicated). Otherwise the Thursday was a nice day,
after school o went to buy supplies for the school. The first two weeks I noted
everything on lose papers and it’s a mess! Therefore I bought notebooks … Then
when I came home I had received a care package from my family <3 Thank you!!
With BIO KING and Norwegian chocolate and GRØT m BRUNOST!!! <3
And of cours MY HAT! <3
Friday I had
two tests physics and Nature science. In Nature science I tried to explain the
mitose process (which is rather easy in Norwegian) with a poor vocabulary in
the sense of the theme. Then it was physics.. I didn’t get it at all so I ended
up enjoying the sun and watching the rest of the class work their butt off.
After school I had planned to meet Jakob in the city of Rennes. I met him
nearby his school and then we went to where he lives and talked a lot.. It felt
good to speak Norwegian. After talking a bit we walked into the core of the
city and ate dinner in a Creperie. I had salade au chevre chaud, and Jakob had
gallette au jambon, fromage. Then we had a conversation whitch was so
interesting about human rights and Amnesty International. I enjoyed it a lot!
After a nice dinner and Bretagnes own coke Breizh Cola we went to the BAR of
the host parents of Jakob. They own a bar where they play board games, and that
night it was karaoke night and Jakob and I did “Optimist” and “What does the
Fox say” hahaha!

Saturday
was a chill day and in the evening I made Pizza! They really liked the Pizza
and I am happy with the result.. ! Also I worked a lot with the presentation I have
tomorrow.. As up to now I have 54 slides on PowerPoint, damn it as lot to say
about Norway!
Sunday I had
another lazy day finishing my presentation and in the afternoon we went for a
walk in the woods nearby.. It was lovely! Although when we did this I missed my
dog Luna and the nice walks in the woods with her and my family.
A + !!
