The trip back over

Most of you probably know that I’ve been in Hawai’i now for 2 years, and last week I got back again from 3 months of summer vacation, well-spent in Norway. To be honest, it feels good to be back. Of course it’s always hard to leave friends and family behind to go pursuit your dreams, but as long as I know within myself that I’m heading towards greater achievements and successes by doing what I’m doing, I don’t really feel that bad for leaving.

This time, I’m even bringing a friend with me, Vegard.

My stay in Norway got cut down quite a bit as I was certain that my plane was leaving Aug. 13th, but instead I was actually leaving the 11th. Because of my scattered brain, I didn’t realize this until the 8th of August, so instead of 5 days left, I now had only 3 days left in Norway.

So that was some last days of packing, goodbyes and whatnot, but now I’m here in Hawai’i with Vegard, and we found a great apartment that both me, Vegard and Eirik (not Erik) Aarseth will reside in for the next year. Luckily we got set up with a nice apartment within two days, and now we are mostly vacating until school starts the 8th of September. And I’m really glad we went down as early as we did, because if we didn’t, there would be no chance of finding such a great place to live, with such a nice view and at such a sweet location for the price we pay today. Also, it took us 1 day to find it, instead of battling every apartment with 10 other willing students, like it usually is when you look for a place to live a week before school starts. And those days we were apartmentless, we stayed at my friend Liss’ place, and I’m really glad she let us stay there in one of her rooms, that was much appreciated by both Vegard and me.

So, I’ll also put up some pictures from our apartment for those of you who haven’t seen it yet. And also I will put up some pictures from the summer that I’ve taken so that you guys who are not on facebook can see what my summer was like? :)

And as I come to think of it, I will just post a new post about my summer…
