Tomorrow!!

EFY tomorrow! I leave after church and take a train down to Oslo then a bus to EFY! So excited!! I will fill you in next week!

11:30 Sun

 We had a picnic the other day. We started it about 7 o'clock and stayed until about MIDNIGHT!! It was all part of the plan to see the "Midnight sun", it wasn't up at midnight though :( It went down about 11:30, but we got some really cool pictures from it. I will post more once I can get this dumb program to listen to me! But enjoy for now.

I have been informed....

I have been informed that....I am ACCEPTED INTO THE IB School!!!!!!! For those of you that don't understand I will explain. The IB school is the International Baccalaureate School it will teach me in my own language (English) as well as giving me lessons in Norwegian. I will be taking classes in math, chemistry, physics, and history. It will help me to stay on track with the USA's class schedule, (meaning I will still graduate in two years) as well as helping me complete at least one year of college.
Last Wednesday I went into the school for an exam and an interview. I was freaking out! I did pretty well on the math exam and then had a bit of trouble with the interview because they were asking me Chemistry questions that I had no clue about. They told me that I would receive a letter letting  me know if I was accepted or not. :) I was. The school year starts on the 20th of August. I'm really really excited. :):):):):):):):):)

Now onto something else that I can inform you all about!
I was informed in the middle of May that I would have a talk on the 17th of June (Yesterday) on the Law of Chastity. Tyler had a talk at the end of May and he did his in English with the translator repeating every sentence in Norwegian. I decided that even though it would double my talk time, I didn't want some one sharing the stand with me. So I translated it.
I wrote it in English on Friday and then Saturday I put it into Google Translate. Saturday night my dad and I went through it again and fixed all of Google's mistakes. Then I read it three or four times out loud to my dad. Sunday I was nervous.
I got up on the stand and sat next to an Australian from my ward, he was going to give his talk in English. When it was my turn I went up to the stand. I am sure that everyone was wondering where my translator was, because usually a translator will come up from the back of the room and join the speaker on the stand. Only this time there wasn't one. I took a deep breath and started. I had a few troubles at the beginning and my legs were shaking so bad I am surprised I was able to stay standing!
I went through my talk, I am not sure how long it was, but it was long enough. I finished and on trembling legs went and sat down.
After the  meeting I walked down the stand and was congratulated on every side about how "Kjempe Flott!" I was, (very good/fantastic) The elders said I put the greenies to shame. Which makes me feel really good about my Norwegian. And then I went to school today and didn't understand much of what the teachers said.

Now one more thing my mom is trying a new hairstyle on me. I am going to post a picture below. Let me know what you think.

It goes and twists into this cool bun in the back and, it is really fun to look in the mirror, because I have this really light brown streak right up the center of the bun!
Anyways There you go. Caught up on all the great news I have!!

This one is called 'S'- for Strikes and Sundays

So about three weeks ago we were informed that Tyler, A.J., and Skylee were not able to go to school. A union had decided that they were going to shut down parts of the country as a part of the strike. So for about three weeks they got to lounge around and I got to go to school!!! So it felt like summer vacation-for them.  Today though we found out (to my pleasure) that school is started up again!! Well at least until the end of the school year- the 21st of June.
Now the other 's' Sundays. So on Sunday it was Fast Sunday, with fast Sunday testimony meeting. Skylee, sweet wonderful girl that she is, wanted to bare (is that the write spelling?) her testimony. She went up with one of the translators- she got a bit of stage fright. So my dad went up to help her she didn't get much but she did so well. It got A.J. up as well my dad translated for him, and then my dad did his. A few people latter Tyler got up. He did it without a translator, and very well. Then he says "Sorry, but my sister said she would come up now." In Norwegian so that was very good. But now that meant that I had to get up!! I managed to get through mine about as good as Ty's.
One of the missionaries told my dad that we are about at the level he was when he left the MTC! So it sounds like we are doing pretty well.
Any ways there we go 'S' Strikes and Sundays.
