This will be my first post on our new blog.
I cannot believe that this adventure has come so close!
I
remember the day in Marts when i recieved my first acceptance letter,
telling me that I was going to be a UWC student at the college Red Cross
Nordic (Norway). I do not think I will ever find the right words to describe the
feeling I had inside when I first read the letter. If it was not
because I was sitting in my class during a math lesson, which was very
hard to pay any attention to afterwards, I would definitely have started
crying - of happiness of course - but I had not told any of my class mates
that I was applying, so I saved my tears until I got home. When all
tears was out, I smiled non stop for the next many days, if not weeks, and the only thing I had on my mind was "United World Colleges Red Cross Nordic", even when I had to sleep. I dreamed about it every night the first few weeks!
The first thing I did was to count the exact number of months and
days until I had to fly towards my biggest dream. At the time there was a
little more than 5 months left.
Luckily these five months has
flown away, and I am now sitting here in my summerhouse enjoying the
last 22 days of my summer vacation, using most of the time to consider
whether I have to pack in the red suitcase og the black one, how many
towles I need, who my roommates are, that I have to remember calling
my great granmother before leaving, etc.
Let the adventure begin!
(This was the first picture I saw of the college, and I still find it hard to believe that this "paradise" is the place I am going to consider as my home!)
