A few days ago the sun was shining so Tredvin and I climbed Narvik Mountain and sat in the tundra at the top, eating Kvikk Lunsj and looking at the sea. Later that night, we met up with Nina and the three of us traversed Narvik by bike late at night, climbed a tower by the beach and sat far above the ocean in the sun, wrapped in blankets and talking about everything. It was a good day.
I´ve been home alone in my host family´s house for quite some time now, which is weird. I hope I never live alone. It took me forever, but all my stuff is finally packed, my Norwegian bank account no longer exists, I am leaving for Stockholm in mere hours, and will be home in four days. I can´t wait! Here is a list of things I look forward to back in A-town:
my family
Reid, her car, and spending the night
my cats
Nic, and a bread-free breakfast
the subaru, which better have been cleaned via my instructions (which took two hours to write.) You know who you are.
my gloriously high school nostalgia bedroom
using dollars, not kroner
cheap everything
not having to check my cell phone balance every time i make a call
the Seward Highway
American radio
using Pantene shampoo
slightly socially awkward high school reunions
playing Rock Band
a lot of other things.
I´ll miss Norway, but due to my impending departure to Europe for more or less ever, I´m going to appreciate everything about being home while I have the chance.
