It's been a great day
It began with me finding the best front page of a news paper I have seen in a long while, which I probably will comment here later on, most likely my first Norwegian post. Some things are hard to translate.
Then, the lady in the post office stared at my head and complimented my hair. Not bad that a 45 year old woman compliments your dreadlocks...
Then I went to Europris where they, just as I walked in, were starting selling out ice cream for 3 kr a piece. Usually it's around 15, so it was 80% off. I bought 17 (!) (3 kr is about 50 cents, 15 is about $2,50).
:)
I am happy.

I have a job!
Yes, indeed I do.
Many have asked if I have a job, and many have received the reply "Not, yet, but I am looking."
Now, if you ask me, I can tell you Yes, I have a job, a good one, as a substitute teacher at Hedemarken Friskole, where I went to school long ago. I am now the colleague of my former teachers. Funny, huh? At least my old teachers think it is. I do too.
I just finished my first week, and have three more weeks for sure in those classes. I teach Maths, Geography, Science, Norwegian and Christianity in three different grades, or classes, whatever you want to call it. Three different groups of kids. There you go.
It's a job well paid, considering my lack of education, and it's fun too, at times, when I feel that I am a good teacher, and it sucks when I feel I am a bad one... I have been told that is how it is to be a teacher, a real love/hate relationship.
Just wanted to inform you and thank all of you who have prayed for me getting a job.

Fun With a Camera, part 2
After some nice and beautiful comments on the last post, I thought I had to take some new pictures. So I went to Skien, because that's where Andreas lives, the one who owns this special camera...
So this week will be spent i Skien, taking pictures of myself.
