An Epic weekend at Bjorn's
Hello everyone! Hope you all had an awesome weekend. I know I did! Today marks my first full month in Europe. It seems like just last week I was at home. How time slips away so quickly!
Thursday
Today, I spent much of the day doing homework, since time to do so later in the weekend was an unsure thing. At 5 o'clock ACN put together a Norwegian Culture Night for the students to learn about, well, Norwegian culture. It was ...
