Snø!

After being shut up in my room for the last 4 days typing this paper, I am ALMOST done. I've got 18 pages of pure genius, I just have to come up with a brilliant conclusion and create the 'works cited' page.
But I've decided to take a break, because honestly, I feel bad about neglecting my avid readers. And I was feeling rather inspired by the beautiful blanket of SNOW outside!!

Today we had our final lecture of the semester, that ended ...bittersweetly, to say the least. No, really.
The final lecture was supposed to be yesterday, but our lecturer, Steinar, from the Nansen Academy was in Yugoslavia the past several days and couldn't get back because of weather. However, he was back today, so we met with him at noon. Well, he lectured for about 15 minutes, before he decided he really couldn't go on, and we ended up having to call an ambulance to come get him because he was having some sort of problem with his throat.
Kind of frightening...SO, we waited until the situation was taken care of, finished up what we had been discussing, and went outside and had a HUGE snow fight!!!
It was a blast!!! Our Namibian friends who have never really seen snow in their lives were out playing with us as well, that was pretty exciting.


After we were all worn out and smothered in snow, we decided to walk down the the Kebab shop for Kebabs and burgers. It was a fabulous afternoon--especially after having been cooped up in my apartment or the library for the last week or so type-type-typing away at this paper.
I have to say, despite the tediousness of this job, I am quite proud of myself for having produced a full twenty page case study. Well, almost, anyway. Tomorrow at 15:00 I won't have to look at it again for a long time. Oh the anticipation!

Well, I should probably get back to that. A solid hour or two and I shall be finished!!

BTW: Sunday afternoon is the start of the Christmas season here in Hamar, and there is a big celebration going on down town. So be prepared on Sunday to read a bit about that!
