Jeg er Godemt

This weekend we went to some sort of hiking trip - cabin trip on the mountain, which is called Koietur by them. It was very cold as I expected to be - everything was frozen. This time i am not writing as much as usual, i will let the pictures talk for themselves.
We made the weirdest snowman in earth, actually looked more like a snowmonster hehe - called Barney. He went through one big plastic surgery before we left, but we forgot to close the parts we opened. Hope he survives.
I also tried a front-black-twisted-blackagain-white-red-double-crazy-flip as you can see on the picture, the problem was that the snow was a bit harder than i thought and it was not that comfortable to land with my back.
There ogsa happened the most bloody snow battle ever in history and i could not take pictures - it was too dangerous.
I do not really know what else to say about it. Hope you like it.

Takk skal du ha!

Today has been a very unusual Saturday. Firstly, I have waken up late - between 10 and 11, which is quite late for what i am used to, as you probably read my previous post. Secondly, it has been sunny for the entire day - maybe that was the "unusualest" thing that happened since we got here in Trondheim two weeks ago. People say it is the wettest fall in decades and i totally believe it is. The third point is... i do not remember it now, but i will make up one right of way - It has been an opposite saturday to what i am used to. Normally in Brazil, I have so much options and things to do on that i have to choose and prioritize. It`s been a calm day - too calm.
This weekend is/will be my last "free weekend", because I will be participating on LAGET`s camps on Oct 17th-18th,  23rd-25th (Hope i can make it) and on Nov 6th-8th. Afters that i will be going to Oslo for a Staff meeting for High-School and University workers - will be on Nov 12th-14th. After Oslo, it is time for Alesund to host me for 2 weeks - the work there will be basically with High-School which is very exciting.
Back to my day... I have come up with a excellent idea and we have been to some secret spots on the coast. We have taken the bus number 6 - way to Valestroa or something similar and stopped somewhere near the beach.

The truth hurts

The first week in Trondheim has already gone, so weird because it went very fast.
I have been asking my self how to make the most of everything and enjoy every single minute while i am here in Norway. It is always in my mind when i am somewhere else traveling "What should i do not to regret later, i mean things that i had the opportunity to do and i should have done, but i just did not care at that moment."
How to make this time worthwhile?
This question comes very often to my mind when i am living somewhere else. Even when i was back home, those who know me probably heard my "thoughtful" thoughts - "Wake up late is a waste of time, especially when it is Saturday - you look like old people even though you are 20 something"
"Do you know how many Summers do we have left in our lives?" - this comes from a friend of mine called vavá.
It is totally real, do you know how many summers do you have left? Sorry to disappoint you - not many. I told you before that these are thoughtful thoughts, if you are not prepared to read, do not do it.
I feel i could have done better this week, that maybe i should have gone to bed a bit earlier and enjoy the freaking cold morning in Trondheim... perhaps i would have made good friends in this meanwhile, perhaps not. It is funny `cause you never know what would have happened if you had done something or had gone somewhere. Crazy thoughts - weird ideas - Never mind!!!
Does it make sense to you?
Because I see people wasting their time and i see my self making the same mistakes, what about enjoying more your time at university? Laughing with your friends though it is 40 degrees and it is terribly unconfortable. What if you try to be more happy in the morning? What if i try it? Am i happy in the morning? Should I be? Right now i am feeling kind of philosopher haha. I see that "The truth hurts" and there are 2 ways to go - you can run away from this or face it and find a solution to it.
I see that God would never send me to places like this to keep me away from having fun, i know that He will take care of me, He will look after me everywhere i go and of course He will provide me many friends and I will have a lot of fun here. The thing is that God has given us discernment, a thinking mind which should be used all the time - remember that God created us in his own image.
Then, how can we use our mind to understand God`s will for our lives??? Should I think about and be active on God`s purpose or be passive and let things happen "by itself" ?

Walking 2 degrees - raining - windy

Thursday, i went to a friend`s house to eat supper at 5pm. There 2 funny parts here, hehe. The first one was that he had not explained how to get there precisely, he just thought that i would know how to get there by myself. 
So, i knew which bus i should take to get there, but i did not know where to take it... and then later i figured out everything.
I was "scared" to take the wrong bus again (as i did the day before yesterday when we took the 63 instead of 60  - was totally my fault) and get there late, and it's not good to be late when you are invited to something here in Norway.
Anyways, as you all know my sense of direction is terrific and i easily found my way to his house. I did not really pay attention to the way we went through because i was trying to figure out the stop that i should get off, and it was a serious problem on the way back home.
We ate salmon with potatoes which was really delicious and Pudim de Leite with coffee for dessert.
The purpose of the dinner was to discuss the hiking trips that we are gonna have on October 17th-18th, all the program, how to get there, price and other subjects concerning to the trip we discussed.
There were me, Joachim (picture), Pavel, Ruth, John and Siri. 
We left around 9.10 and i forgot that the bus does not come that often after 9, so i asked myself: Should i wait here for 40 min or go walking? But i wasn`t sure that the bus would really come, so i decided to go walking... and i forgot to say that it was 2 degrees, raining and windy. 
I walked guessing the way back home, i could not find any signs to help me out. I knew it would be a long long long walk back home, and it really was. I think i arrived at home at 10.30, it was more than 1 hour hehe.
The funniest part was when i found my way back and maybe 15 min far from where i live i saw that lovely bus passing by, it`s important to say that the bus does not stop everywhere, only at the bus stops which are 800 meters away from one another.
That was my supper adventure from the first week in Trondheim.
