Task 1 - A diary

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

My day started to go on the practice on Tingvoll nursing home, where we started the day with caring for pasients. When that was done, they sat in the living room to eat breakfast. And after that the most people go to bed for sleeping.

Throughout the day, I and two other I work with took some pasients out for a walk in the beautiful weather. When we came back it was dinner for the pasients, and after that the most people go to bed for sleeping, while some pasients joined us out on the veranda in the sun. At half past two, I was finished in the practice.

When I came home I write a log for the day in practice. And I sat down to do some homework, because we have much to do now, and then I finished something.

After that I took with my little brother and drove down to the store to buy an ice cream. We sat there and enjoyed ourselves with ice for a while before we drove home to eat dinner.

The rest of the evening I relaxed, and also showered me. I've just watched on Paradise Hotel, and now I go to bed for sleeping.

Task 1 - A diary

Monday, May 17, 2010



Yesterday was May 17, something most people in Norway celebrates.
I got up early to fix me and dress me in my costume, witch we in Norway called "bunad". Then we went to town and looked at children's procession, in witch many primary schools, secondary schools and corps were assembled. I think it's very fun and look at it, and it is a traditon. When it was finished, we went for a walk in the main street and looked a little bit. Then we went home and changed into other clothes, and went to Grandma and Grandpa to eat stew and cakes.
After that we went to the town again to look at the Graduating students' parade and some other old cars. I think the Graduating students' parade become poorer and poorer each receive.
When it was finished I meet my boyfriend and some friends of me and walked around town and took a walk to Kullås. It was bad weather, and started to rain. But we had it really fun!
My boyfriend goes home, while I still was in the town with my friends.
Later, my best friend and we go and eat, and sat to talk for long. It was a while since I've talked with many of them.
We also went for a walk on the fairground, witch I think was very bad this year. Was only one carousel witch them of my age could take, and very expensive for the ticket.
My boyfriend comes back, and we walked little around. On the fairground and in the main street. Was nothing to do this evening. But all in all, I have had a good day.

Task 1 - A diary

Saturday, May 15, 2010

I write for the last day.
My day started at nine o'clock. My mom came to wake me and said we should take a trip to town to shop the last pieces to May 17, and look a little in the main street.

When we came to the town, I went to the hairdresser to cut my hair. After that we took a trip to another shopping center, before we went home.

When I came home, I sit down to do a little bit homework, so I did not have so much to do next week.

In the evening my best friend, Kristi, went to me. We fixed us before we went to a birthday party.

It was a terrific evening and I enjoyed myself and with many of my friends. We was not home until late at night, and we were completely finished.

Task 1 - A diary

Thursday, May 13, 2010.

Today is Ascension Day, a day who the most people have free from jobs, and all the shops in Norway is closed.

I, my mom, my step-father, sister and brother went to Sweden in the early morning to see if we found some clothes for the May 17. I just bought me a pair of shoes, while the other shopped some clothers. They were many people on Nordby today, so I was pretty tired in the head after the trip.

Once we arrived home from Sweden, I, my sister and my best friend, Kristi, went to the cinema in Fredrikstad, to see the movie "The last song" by Miley Cyrus as protagonist. It is the finest film I've seen in a long time, and it is strongly recommended to others.

-

When the film was finished , we went right to my cousin in a family birthday, he is 15 years old today. I think it was very nice, because it's so long since I've seen them. So I enjoyed myself very much.

We ate sausages and cakes and talket a lot together. Me and my sister sat on Grandma and Grandpa home, so we had been there a bit longer. So when I went home I saw who went out of Paradise Hotel, and now I write this. I think I am going to sleep soon.

Task 1 - A diary

Sunday, May 9, 2010

I woke up at half past ten this morning, but I fell asleep again after one hour, and did not wake up until a quarter past 12 again, when my boyfriend woke me and said I had to wake up, because we were out and wash his boat. When we were done with that, we drove home to him and fix on the brakes on his moped. And like the girl I am, I helped him to fix it.
When we were finished, we went in and saw a little bit on the TV.



This is my boyfriends boat.
-
We drove a little bit together before i drove home to do some homework. When I came home I watched on "Svinesund, handel i grenseland", who it is called in norwegian. It is funny guys!
After that I go to bed and do some homework. And so it was night and school the day after.

Task 1 - A diary

Saturday, May 8, 2010

I write from my weekend now because I have not had computer available.
I have slept with my boyfriend, who I had not seen for a long time. It was so good to see him again. I drove scooter to Sweden with a friend while my boyfriend and a friend of him was on a car cross in Aremark. In Sweden we looked around and bought some clothers and candy.

When we came home from Sweden we went to the friend of my boyfriend, watching a movie. Another gaymovie, called it. When I and my friend had finished watching the movie, was my boyfriend and his friend home from the car cross.

We drove around with our mopeds, and cost us a lot. We drive a trip to Høysand, and afterwards to Feriehjemmet. We also drove a little visit to my aunt and uncle to say hello. After that we drove home to our friend to watching the movie "Another gaymovie" again. We got the boys to watch the movie.

Half past twelve at night, we went home to my boyfriend and leave us. There has been a very good day.

Task 1 - A diary

Thursday, May 6, 2010.

Today I have had a good day.
It started when I went to the doctor for a regular check. It was okey.

When I was finished, I went to school to do some tasks with Marthe, Sandra and Lars, before the school begin. We actually started nine fifty.
The school day was like the other days, not different from the others. When the school was finished, I have to drive fast to the job, where I began half past 3. Five o'clock I was finished there, and drove straight to my old confirmation teacher, to have girl talk. It was very nice. We ordered pizza and watched the movie "Love Actually", and that was a movie I think was really nice. It was about love and marriage.




When I came home, I sat a little bit on the computer, until I watched on Paradise Hotel. It was like any other day; Drama, drama and more drama.

Now I'm lie in bed and write this, will soon lie down and sleep. It will be good and relax a little bit now.
Good night.

Madelen :-)

Task 5 - My English this term

In this term I think we had a very good term. I have learn a lot!
I've learned most of this time we had presentation. I was so nervous for this.

When Marthe and I had an presentation, were both very nervous. Next time when I should have it alone, I also was really nervous. But we get a lot of time to practice your presentation, so I felt I was well prepared. And so it went, very good. I feel I had a nervous voice, but it was allright.

I had also learn things about how colored girls are treated, when we watched the movie "color purple". I doesn't understand all the movie, but it was a great movie. We also watch on "freedom writers". It was a really good film, who made me think very. She do so they could write about their life, and too the end of year she made a book out of it.

We had also read some textes this term, and I think many of them have been difficult, but I have learn a lot of new word which I think was diffucult.

All in all, I really liked the english this term. I'm more sure of my english after this year, but I can do much more, I think. This year I have got a lot more challenges than ever before, and I think I've had a good teacher. It have been more fun, more different ways to doing things on.

But I have to work with my grammar, some of it is so difficult.

I'm very proud of this school year.

Task 4 - Write a poem about a picture you like.

Everyting is gone.

-

I'm sitting here,

thinking about everything.

I wonder what to do there,

when everything is gone.

-

I see her in my eyes,

one thousand miles away.

Her hair flies,

when the wind grabs.

-

I wonder what to do,

now when she is gone.

I'm sitting here alone,

to the wind take me home.

-

I missed her!

Task 3 - Write a e-mail

To Marie

I read this poem today that made me think. It was about someone who thougth what good you can do for others before you die, because you do not live in vain.
I just want to tell you, my best friend, that I'll always be there for you and be there when you need it. I will always try to make time to go to the town with you, if you want, or to find other things to do.
I know I doesn't have been the one who has been most with you, or the one who always shows up on the door when you need one to talk to. And I regret very much on that now when I has read this poem.
Even thougth we live a distance from each other, now that you've moved, we promised each other to keep the contact. And we will continue that!

Your bestfriend, Madelen.
