Update @ The Norwegian Air Force

Can’t say I had a lot of patience, when I started this new life of mine. But after 3 days containing almost 3 hours waiting just to get to the dentist, to find I had perfectly healthy teeth. And to the doctor to be told that I’m very healthy, I figured; what the heck. I have just been through the first days of the recruiting process with every little practical thing, such as clothing and how to behave properly and salute the higher officers in the Norwegian Navy and Air Force.
So much fun and excitement but exhausting never the less. Waking up at 06.00 pm and ending the day, 12 hours later takes a lot of your energy.
Just a minor update, can’t say I have a lot of time online, but I love it.
Over and out!

The small things

“Oh my gosh, It’s like 4 days until I’m going into unknown territories. And I haven’t even started before my body starts to bruise everywhere. In these past few weeks, I have been tripping over things, bumping into dinner- tables and stepped in the wrong shoes just to get huge scars on the back of my heels.”

I have also watched a bit too much of the TV- series Hart of Dixie, so the southern lingo comes from there. Anyways, lately I’ve started appreciating the small things in life, especially the feminine stuff. I am glorifying my skin with facial masks that smells like pomegranate and soothes the skin with cucumber-water before bedtime, every night. It is completely ridiculous but since I am stepping into a “man’s world”, I might as well enjoy being a full on girl while I can.

I have not slept very well the last couple of nights, have been listing everything that needs to get done, before I go. Or If I should bring some more clothes, do I need a lot of tampons? (Not only for the “Lady In Red”, but potential nosebleeds?). And when I sat on the bus from Oslo to my hometown on the West-coast (that is an 9 hour drive..), I finally got some sleep, at least until this very “wonderful” lady wanted to sit next to me and chat about everything not- interesting. She was a nice woman indeed, but in public transport and long drives I prefer silence and my own thoughts.

– Oh and by the way, the american storm that I finally thought the Norwegians did not have to participate in, just continue it’s way towards the north.. Just in time for the recruiting week.
