What a great weekend! Yesterday I.K. and I went to watch "Birkebeinerrennet" at Lillehammer. It's 54 km long crosscountry ski race. My dad was attending it, but unfortunately I didn't see him during the race. There are many thousands racing, so I guess it would be hard to notice everyone. Anyway, I.K. and I borrowed my mom and dad's car, and drove up to Sjusjøen. We took our time and stopped for a few minutes by I.Ks house in Moelven on our way there. Then we came to Sjusjøen at about 1230. We were hoping to see dad or someone else we knew, but we weren't patient enough to stay for more than about an hour, so we drove down to Lillehammer and watched people coming in to the stadium for a while. I know dad passed us, but I didn't see him.

It was a beautiful day. The temperature was good and the sun was shining. I.K. and I had brought home made pizza for lunch, as we had left overs from supper on friday. I learnt that coke is not a good drink for an outdoor trip during the winter. I felt like I should have been drinking hot chocolate or something, and for some reason it just didn't taste very good out there in the snow. :)

Dad came with us on the way back. We were all tired when we got home. I was suprised, because I didn't think I had been doing anything tireing, but obviously it must have been tireing to drive so far and to get all that fresh air. It's a great feeling though, to be tired from being outdoors. 

Hey!

There's a lot going on these days. I'm writing papers at school, conducting my choir, having church, hanging out with people... I really enjoy it all. But I don't find very much time for blogging, which is too bad.

Except from that I read the Bible a lot these days. I have found out how interesting it is to read different versions and translations. It gives me a bigger view.

Got to go. I have choir practice to night.

Hey people, tell me what you think...Take a look at the last comments on "Off to Wales" and check out the links. Is commenting blogs a way to advertice? Annoying!

I have this huge arranging task due on tuesday. We're arranging "I don't know how to love him" (hate that song) for band (gitar, piano, bass and drums), soloist, choir and strings (violins, viola and cello). I need to get that pretty much done before the weekend as I have little time to get it done on sunday and monday, and I prefer to have saturdays off. Actually I like it. It's really fun to arrange music (if I like the music). But difficult. So that's what I'm doing the next three days. :)
