Who Am I? Where Am I?

July 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Okay, I just have to share…because I am having the most bizarre experience as we speak. The guy that we live with is a little…um…strange. He just got playing the sound of music sound track, but in some weird language that I don’t know. Now he is blasting music that is remakes of 50’s classic [...]

One other thing that I have been doing for my recovery of my trip to India (besides catch up on all of the great reality tv that I love so much) is I have been eating MEAT! Oh, I miss meat so much. It is so good (I am sorry to all animal loving vegetarians [...]

July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Now that I am back in Norway with a real kitchen and a real internet connection (and no Indian food in site…yay!), I have started my ‘recovery’ from my three month stay at the ashram in India. This started with a full day of catching up on all of the episodes of The Real World: [...]

Studying…ugh

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

I have been here in India at this ashram for almost three months now…and I have survived. It is a miracle. But now I have to study. It is so difficult sometimes for me to take tests and exams and things like that because sometimes my memory is not so good. Well, it is what [...]

The Weather In India

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

The weather here in India has been strange. First it seemed like a few months ago that the monsoon season was coming early. But then it went, and now there is no rain. It is really terrible for the farmers in the villages because they depend on the rain to grow their crops. Right now [...]

All This Traveling!

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

So much traveling and so little time for me in the past year! But I am really not complaining. The only problem is that my suitcases are starting to really fall apart on me. I think it might be time for me to start researching on the internet to buy some new good luggage.

A Website Review

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

I found a great website for someone like me (an expat who lives in Norway…but is in India at the moment). The kind of site that really spreads the love all over the world. What kind of love you ask? Well, that would be the love of television and movies :)
If you have been around [...]

Related?

July 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Sometimes when I think of my family, it is really hard to see how we are actually related. We are so different in so many ways. My mom, dad and sister are all stable and grounded in their happy Southern California life. While, I am running around, moving to Norway and going all around the [...]

I Miss…

July 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Sometimes since I have moved to Norway I really miss some American stores (and of course, those good ‘ol American prices - you know, at least compared to Norwegian prices). I really miss having a Target just a ten minute car drive away, near the mall with all of my favorite stores. I really miss [...]
