On the Thursday before we got out of school I met my contact person at a cafe. I had not seen her since November. So we chatted and had a coffee.
Then, on Saturday I went to a cafe called The Ice Cream Bar (iskrembaren på norsk) with my friend Solveig. There we had a milkshake, Solveig for the first time ever, and American pancakes. The cafe was American diner themed, so they had American food and drinks. It was extremely good, I had a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake, it was heaven!
Then, on Sunday I just slept, went on a long walk with Nezzoz, and I went to Tønsberg with Emma.

On Tuesday I met two other exchange students in Skien (a city about an hour away where I live). It was an Italian girl named Elena and a French girl named Camille. We went to a place called Fritidsparken, which is The Free Time Park in English. They had a miniature water park inside there. It had two slides, and 6 different swimming pools. On had a hot tub, the other had a place where you could lay down and there were bubbles on you back (we laid there for a good 30 minutes), 5 diving boards at another pool, a racing/training pool, a wave pool and a lazy river type thing (where the water has a current and pushes you around in a circle). There was also a sauna there, but we managed to stay in there for only about 5 minutes because it was so warm. We were at the water park for about 3 or 4 hours. Then, we took the bus to a grocery store, where we bought lunch and then we ate it by the water (I'm not exactly sure if it was part of the fjord, or just a lake). Then, about an hour or two late I took the train home to Sandefjord.

On Wednesday and Thursday I didn't really do much. I took Nezzoz for a walk both days and I also tried to start packing. Packing is a lot harder than i thought it would be. I thought packing to go back to the US would be no problem, but actually it is almost worse than packing to come here. I thought packing to go home you just had to throw your whole wardrobe in a suitcase and call it good, but no. I did not realize how much I bought this year. I had to buy winter coats, winter shoes, sweaters, wool underwear, mittens, and scarfs(I have about 13 scarfs). So I have sent home 4 packages and I just bought another box to send home, yesterday. I have also organized my clothes of what I need to take home, things I could leave here if I need to, and things that I am leaving here. I also sorted through all my papers and cleaned my room a little bit.
On Friday I went to Tønsberg with my friend Solveig. There we ate at a restaurant next to the fjord. It was fantastic. We sat outside and there was sun, it was warm, and we also had a chocolate volcano cake. Then we went to McDonalds and got a coffee, because no cafe would dare to be open at 9:00pm. And in McDonalds I ran into one of my friends from my class, Ida. This may have been the last time I will see her this year, so I was glad I ran into her but also sad that I had to say goodbye. Then once Solveig and I got back into Sandfjord we went to the McDonald's and got a mcflurry. Then, afterwards we walked home. It was supposed to be my birthday/goodbye dinner with her.

Saturday I did some more organizing and cleaning and pecking during the day and in the evening I went to go see a movie with my friend Malin. We saw After Earth. The movie really wasn't all that good, but it was nice I spend time with her. She is one of my friends that is going to the US in exchange next year!
Now today, today is Sunday. Later today I am going over to my friend Katinka's house and I am going to sleepover there along with my other friend Jenny. But now I have jut finished breakfast and am drinking my cup of coffee.
Only 13 days until I am back in the US now. It is nail biting time... 😁
