Hi all !

Keep postponing the blog...

But now I'm here!
so the last two weeks have been pretty normal! starting to get some Kiwi friends :P heaps of nice fellas here :P

I have switched my photography to outdoor sports :P Photography got too hard, since I needed to take heaps of photos with a camera that was impossible to use properly. And developing the film took ages, for then to develope individual photos and stuff... but outdoors is really cool!!!

Chemistry is kinda funny... since the teacher declared out loud in class how I didn't have to work since I was unable to understand English... everybody cracked up laughing and told how good I actually spoke English :P

Physics is hard, since the teacher has got high expectations, but I'll manage!!!

Maths is easy, and today the teacher bragged to the class about how I solved all problems quicker than the others, even though they actually understand all the questions.

History is nice... might be a little hard with tests, since I don't pay too much atention... but it will be ok :P

Lambs are growing, currently feeding neigbours too, since they are away :P

and dad... might not be happy about this... but I am! :P I bought a 55-200mm lens :P it was pretty cheap,, and I thought I'd rather do it now than at the end of the year :P I convinced myself it was mam's birthday gift :P since it was under the amount I got from you mam :P (which I didn't need for the South Island tour since it was a gift from pap's) If you got it...

So thanks mam! and I look at it as a good investment ! :D

Our room has got a little more character after Phil and I made ourselfs a minibar :P It's baseically a table with 24 glass bottles of 6 different fizzy drinks, and underneath there are 12-14 large cans of different energy drinks, and huge amounts of coke and sprite cans, since they sell them cheap in 30 packs :D and some 1.5 litre bottles of different sorts :P only thing missing is a bowl with peanuts, and some cool glasses :P

And I have had my first taste of alcohol. No need for flying down dad! I'm choosing to tell you! I got half a wine glass for dinner... learned how to taste it properly... got it up my nose... and didn't like it at all... so I had like a quarter of a wineglass :P

I made pancakes for dinner the other day, apperantly they call it crepes here... but they were kinda okey, but hard to make in a weird pan XD today Phil's cookng pasta carbonara, and it looks awsome!

I have been driving more, last time today :P going better and better ! :P

The empty oil barrel in the garden, which purpose is to burn trash in, happens to be awsome to blow up: almost empty deo, airfreshner cans etc :P!!

Rugby looks incredible hard.. but I'll try sometime!!

So thanks mom and dad for the birthday gifts!!! I'm having an awsome time! and I really enjoyed talking to you, Lars, on skype.. though you looked pretty sick!

talk to you later!!!

Woohoo!

Drivng the quad bike was awsome, but even cooler... I've got my driving licence!!! just a learners, but Alan has already taken me for a drive!!! awsome!!! Afterwards Haley got a little pissed since I was such a good driver :P

Chuck is starting to get big! and the chickens are laying eggs!! Maybe we get another lamb soon... neighbour doesn't want to feed I think... but we'll see.... in which case, that's gonna be Norris!!! :D

boring part : school... photography is hard... maaan... but I'll do it!!! Maths is okey... pretty easy since we spend like a week or two for each subject... then a small test.. :P History is cool, best teacher!! Physics and Chemistry....hmmm.-.- let's just say I'll fight for a C average...

This week hasn't been to eventful, yet... maybe do some cool stuff with different people throughout the weekend... we'll see :P

and it was my birthday last Saturday!!! yeah!!
I got breakfast on bed... which most of you probably have seen on facebook... ooo what a tired face -.- and I got a really nice Maori necklace !! it's a thing you can't buy yourself, and nobody else can wear it!! and I got a couple cool T-shirts from Phil :P and a cool little bear from Haley :P
A nice flower basket with different snacks came from the family in Myrveien, and a card with some GREAT chocolate from Peer Gyntsvei :P And Edwards drawing is on the wall!!

so... that's just a little update!!!

talk to you guys!!

Untitled (artistic ehh?)

Soo, just to keep you Europeans updated...

Haven't done too much mentionable the last days...
Had Melinda, a german exchange student, over for a visit. She stayed here almost a day and we did some rifle shooting.. she hit two cans... Phil hit none, and I hit none... we are gonna hear that for ages...

Chuck is growing good, and drinking heaps of milk :P

School is going good... a little behind on photography since I'm never getting time to shoot some film according to my plans... Maths is going great.. think I might be some ahead there actually...
History isn't too hard, English is ok, Physichs a pain in the ass, and chemistry... I'm lost...

(and my birthday is tomorrow) !!! btw ma! I got your card a week ago :D it was really nice, and you can tell Edward I put his drawing up on the wall!! chocolate arrived in one piece :P or two... not squished :P

that's about it for now :P some photos follow bellow :P

Last couple of days, Napier

OK... Blogg again :P Bunch of photos at the end :P

Like usual I will forget like everything when I start writing... but I will do as best as I can :D

First mention Chuck Norris :D
One of the sheep got twins, but the day after, when finding one of them dead on the driveway, we realized the mother was unable to feed them :( so we took the other one in :) and named it Chuck Norris :):) and feed it with a bottle :P And the last days it has been really cool since he follows us everywhere!!! He even jumped through the electrical fence to get back to me again :P

And this weekend Phil and I stayed over at Jackies house. My somekindof-coordinator :P She has one heck of a personality, and a mean driving!!! geez... We caught up with like 40 cars or something on our way to Napier, which I will get back too :P and she crashed HARD into a kerb when Phil, Roberta and Crystal were sleeping :P Really funny,, but kinda freaky :S

soo... Napier... We left on Sunday morning, 9 o'clock :O, and had a three our drive ahead of us... I spent most of the time with my camera in my lap, taking random photos outside :P When we got to Napier Jackie couldn't find the way, so we ended up in a market. she spent almost an hour shopping. vegetables.... Then we needed to find the place for the EF welcom orientation :P and she asked if I could navigate... I said I could give it a try, and we got there after like 10 min or so :D

The welcom thingy was for another region, so we will have to attend one in Rotorua as well -.- but we joined the fun part, which was indoor climbing :P (and during the waiting prosses we found the FERRARI!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D) climbing was cool, and I think I managed quiet well :D after climbing we had some food, and went back to the car to drive back home(That's when we saw the JAG!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D)
Way home was short told: aggressive driving, and a lot of boredom, resulting in some cool light photos :P
oo...! and when we stopped by a MacDonalds this random guy started to talk to us when we were waiting for our food... and he started blurting out about how God loves us all, and we didn't need to take drugs, since God's love was more than enough.... Phil got the giggles... and he got angry since Phil was laughing at him... hahah great...

and back to Saturday :P this blogg is gonna be a mess when it comes to dates...
Phil and I went in to town to get some stuff for school, and hang out with some other exchange students :P It was pouring down... so we fought our way to another cheap Mac meal :P

Then we followed Raphael, and to new guys, to this café thingy... but it was really weird,, and we left pretty soon :P

Tha't almost it I guess... have to mention I missed out on the ball kinda... I didn't have a suit, and wouldn't bother... But alot of people were asking if we couldn't come to the after ball... but we got to go to Napier instead...YEEEJ(Ironic)

soo... the photos, in the wrong order... but yeah yeah.. :P
