This and that…

Hei, hei!

Orientering – running through the forrest by searching posts can be a lot of fun!!!! This time we went to a different place where we didn’t know the area, so that it was proven we aren’t able to cheat… And also it was the first time that each student started by him/herself. Time was running and within 1 hour we had to find 10 posts, hidden in the forrest… Well, I was so focused to run to the second post, that I completely forgot the first one – didn’t see it on the map;-)… Typical me!!! So I had to run back to the first post, where I met Henriette, together we would find everything quicker, so we ran together. Cross-country through the woods… We did pretty well – at the 5th and 6th post even more people gathered, so by the time we ran over the finish line we were approx. 8 people, which made it quite easy to find the last posts…:-) It took us around 40 minutes – jipiii, back at the start…

We had to wait until everybody got to the finish, so we waited and waited. Half an hour later, one girl was still missing, so our teacher decided to send out some boys to search for her… After a while she made it too… She lost too much time at 2 posts, that was the reason for her delay…

Climbing session in the evening. It’s quite cool because I introduced the sport to some spanish girls and italian students and the italian guys came again;-) So they seem to like it… We made plans for Saturday, to go climbing outside… Looking forward to that…

Today some studying for English, in the afternoon I biked to the gym at university. It’s so weird – those guys who train in the gym don’t seem to be familiar that a girl is lifting weights too;-) Isn’t that weird??? And also none of them is talking to me;-(… Well, I don’t care, it’s just funny to watch how uncommunicative they are. Not only to me though, they don’t speak to each other… The most important thing for those guys is: training their upper body, especially their biceps to show off…;-)

On my way back to my place I stopped at one of the many apple trees along the road. But the problem is always the same – they are standing in a garden belonging to people;-)… This particular one though caught my attention because there was easy access to pic some apples where the owners couldn’t see me…;-) Fruit is very expensive here AND an apple a day keeps the doctor away…:-)

News from back home: Mum wrote me that the new skis and boots from Nordica have arrived. So they are just WAITING for me to get home and ski with them… Nordica is again supporting me with skis and boots this winter – thanks to Flo!!!! AND this coming winter I will be part of the Ziener Team, they are supporting me with skiclothing and gloves!!! Thanks to Nicole and Lisa!!!! So the winter isn’t far anymore and I’m soooooo looking forward to be back on skis!!!!

Next week – “studyweek”, which means travelling around Norway and taking my books with me… Vroni, one of my best friends back home in Austria, is coming for a visit on monday and we’ll go on a roadtrip to the West… Can’t wait till monday…
