Here you are

I realize that I haven't posted a real post for a long time.
I've been doing a lot since the 1st of September.

I've met my dear Sigrid again! She's getting married the 6th of December!

I've done a lot of studying. Sometimes we work together in a group, like here.

We're saving power, so it's a bit cold inside...

Jan dropped by with stuff from Stavanger.


We had a house party and invited some of our new friends.


Our friend Torstein visited and helped us out a lot.Last Tuesday I was at KIA (Christian International Assosiation) to help with Norwegian-classes. I enjoyed that. I've also started in a Cellgroup (quite similar to a Biblegroup), which I think will be good for developing my Christian faith.
I've been in practice a week as a teacher. Our job was to observe routines, the pupils and the lessons and help out when we were needed. In two weeks time we will be the ones who will teach. For three whole weeks. I can hardly wait! :)
I've also joined KRIK (CHRISC), Christian Sports Contact. We excercise every Friday and have other social gatherings once in a while. I really like that, and being active in CHRISC might give me a cheap trip to Uganda next summer...!

This weekend was supposed to be a relazxing one, since the past week was really stressfull. But I realize that I have tons of pages to read befor next week's lectures. So I'm still very busy... Hopefully I will go to Salem, the church we've started in, this evening.
I'm happy, but busy!

Coming soon on Inki's Bubble

I'm in a hurry now, but don't stop reading my blog just because the last post was posted a while ago.

If you hang on and check this site during the first few days, you can read about my practice-period in a Children School last week, how I almost fell off my chair at school today and what crazy stuff I did on Tuesday afternoon...

You wait and see. Don't forget Inki's Bubble

-because you're in it!

If I were a shoe...

If I were a shoe
I would be around you all day long

If I were a shoe I would step on your ground
And noone would step on me

If I were a shoe
I would visit streets, cities and countries

If I were a shoe I would have to live through coldness and heat
but I wouldn't have any feelings

If I were a shoe I could get torn and worn out
but maybe they would fix me

If I were a shoe I would have my feet on the ground at all times
and I wouldn't go flying to the moon

It would be nice being a shoe.
But if I were a shoe, what life would I have?
Seeing places from my position in the dirt
Noone to talk to and noone to love
Nothing to live for and nothing to do

And you know the best thing about not being a shoe?
Because if I were a shoe, I wouldn't have met you...


Dedicated to all the people I miss; Vatosoa, friends in Madagascar, family in Stavanger, Oslo, USA and England and my dear friends from Hald spread all around the world...

Busy life

I will study Mathematics and Pedagogics until Christmas. We have lectures everyday except Wednesday, which is set off for self-study. Whenever I come home from lectures, I am so tired but I have to study more and prepare for the next day.

We try to make our dinners healthy and we've subscribed for the gym/sportsclub to get in shape. I have signed up to volunteer for KIA (Christian Intercultural Work) when they need extra help teaching Norwegian to foreigners. I also attend Christian meetings and social happenings, and two days ago I found a cockroach in my bed! We're having friends over on Friday and Christina is staying with us for a few more days. I took my bike to school today, but the pooring rain told me to take the bus home. My bike is still at school and I hope it's safe. I was at Hald last weekend to tell new students about Madagascar. Memories, flashbacks, tears and smiles and I spoke Malagasy again! We still haven't written a contract for our appartment. We need to buy bread.

It's all happening at once, in case you didn't get that. But I'm enjoying myself and I really feel that I'm in the right place with the right people.

We attended a Christian meeting last week and the preacher told us to "reach out" and preach the Gospel to those in our class who aren't Christians. We are 35 students in my class, and at least 11 of us are Christians! Coincidence? I have already pointed out a few people who will be my "projects", and one of them seems quite positive already! I'm so excited! :-)

This is Eline and me outside the University, the day before Semesterstart. :-)
