Snow in Norway :D

It is SNOW, and of course we had to take some photos! It’s not snowing everyday =)

We decided to put some of them on the blog, so you can see Norway in the winter. It’s not so much snow now, often there can be one meter! It is crazy, but so fun!

Here is some pictures of Sandra, maybe some of you remember her from your trip to Norway?

Education, is changed?

Hallo!
This time we have about our parents and grandparents, and it have been a lot of intervjues.
My grandmom started at school when she was 7 years old, they started one year later than us! So because of that, she was only at school to 9th grade, then someone chosed to work and others to goo to school. My grandmom went to school. She was one year at "husmorskolen"(norwegian word), a small school in Husnes and then she got her first baby the year later. After her birth, she and my granddad worked at a factory, on each shift. Because it was no kindergarden back then, so it always had to be someone home with the baby(my mom). A few years later they got baby number 2, my aunt. After that didnt my grandmom work again for 7 years! She started then as a cleaning worker at Samnanger. She had to cuit because of her pain in her arms. She went back to school as a institution cook, and later she started again as a institutioncook.

My mom did also start at school at age 7 in 1979. She complited all school from 1th grade to 9th grade. Then she started at "husstellskolen" in Vaksdal. It was not so many school to chouse from, just Arna or Bergen, but it was Arna who had the school in Vaksdal. In Vaksdal she had to sheer her school with the yougers from 1th to 6th grade. It was a small school, but they had a big classrom in the basement. They were only 12 students and 4 teachers. Then she went to Bergen, "handelsskole" bussines school for tree years. It was small and 30 students in a small classrom. They were splitted in A, B, C and D classes. They even had to take the buss to get to the gym! She then started working and in 2003 she went to school again, this time as at enrolled nurse. So it was many school before as well, just like no, but now its maybe some more.

my parent's!! (sandra)

My mom went to university at Bergen’s business school or handelshøyskolen like it is called in Norway. After school she got a job in a store and later on when she couldn’t  work there anymore she went back to school and started a new education to become a health secretary.

My dad got an education to become gardener and has worked hard to get up in the business and now he is a great gardener and he is almost the on the top in the firm he is working.

My parents are really good parents and aren’t as streak as many parents are. I’m allowed to be in Bergen as long as I’m sure I can get home and walk around with people. And they trust me when it comes down to things that maters and so on.  

I also have a deal with them about alcohol and smoke, as long as I don’t touch it until I turn 18 they will pay for my driving license ^^   

me cosplaying a random day outside of Bergen ^^,

our school!

Our school is pretty much gray, the walls are gray and the floor I gray. We could wish for a more exiting color that that might could wake us up. Another fact about our school is that the classroom in the upper part of the school is a lot smaller then the classrooms in the basement. The classrooms in the basement are all gray, square and the only colors curtains that are blue. The school isn’t horrible and not every school in Norway has a cafeteria or a big place outside where we can be. The invierment on the school is pretty good, and the teachers are really live for the work and are really nice people as well. But the school day starts pretty early for the people that don’t come form Arna. The day starts at 08:15 and the school day is over 13:10 (Monday and Wednesday) or 15:30 (Thursday and Tuesday), and every Friday we are working trough the school and then we will work 6 hours and we can decide for our self when we start and quit.

My hobbies!

I have a lot of hobbies, like motocross, animals, painting and training, but most of my time is going to work, school and motocross (each Friday). I drive in Sotra, but now we are building a new track in Dale, but its kind a small. Every dag, accept Saturday and Sunday, I go to Arna high school on health and social; Hoping to become a midwife or a nurse later.

My favorite things to do in the summer are to goo swimming, ride my bike/cross, do some exercise, climb or walk in the mountain and jump on a trampoline. The winter is different, I often goo skiing and snowboarding, go to the cabin with my boyfriend and sometimes we can go skate on the ice. I like the color blue, black and reed.



There is not many places to hang out in Vaksdal, but we have something called “KUL”, that’s a place where kinds in age 12 to 18 years old can hang out. It is also arranged some camps, Easter camp and Christmas camp, but this “KUL” arrangement is Christian. On Fridays we have disco in Vaksdal, Stanghelle or Dale, we change place each week.

My summer holiday!

This summer I was in Norway, in Vikersund. Here we have the biggest ski flying hill detection in Norway. The hill record is 219 meters and held by Harry Olli from Finland, and Roland Muller from Austria. With this ground record is Vikersunds hill the world’s third largest ski jump. I was in Vikersund with my family, and we visited my aunt and my “new” uncle.

Two days later we went to “Gol”, here we shopped and swimmed in a big pool. I went to Voss the same day with the train, because I was going to a wedding!

This is the ski flying hill in Vikersund!
