"Luke, I am your father".... :P

I think the Norwegians have been keeping a dark secret from me. A secret that is only revealed when their guard has been left down... This secret......DA DA DUMM...is actually quit funny. The secret regards my name. Well, not my actual name (Lucas is my birth name for those of you that don`t know that).. but anyways. I was at this party last weekend and for some reason all the Norwegians realized that I happened to share the same name with a certain stars wars character.. Yeah I sure you guess it right away from the title of this post. "yeah totally, its Darth Vader, right?" ummm... No, actually Luke Skywalker. Just kidding. But really, apparently that is what most Norwegians relate my name to once they hear it. I can`t tell you how many times I heard was "Luke, I am your father".... and I was just like "hey you know what f-U buddy" ha ha. Just kidding. I thought it was funny. People haven`t associated my name with Luke Skywalker since I was like four. So its cool I like it, I mean Luke Skywalker is pretty awesome... Of course besides being a little strange like making out with is sister and acting like a wimp after his hand has been cut off and he learned his father is Darth Vader.. I mean really, getting your hand cut off isn`t really that bad and crying that your dad just cut your hand of and is a super evil guy of the universe, no. big. deal. But I will accept being called Skywalker on special occasions :p. But it made me wonder: Do most of the Norwegians I meet think of Luke Skywalker the first time they hear my name? Comment on my blog or facebook me, I would really like to know.

Thanks for reading :D

Norwegians are not at the least shallow.

Yesterday I had a realizing revelation about the Norwegian people. I was having this interesting conversation about religion. Its very common that Norwegians aren`t religious or just simply atheist. One very different thing from America. Some people would think that with no religious ties, people would not care about the afterlife or spirituality. But in all truth these people are extremely deep. I know I will probably get grief from saying this, but Norwegian teenagers have a quality that in my opinion is very important. They actually question the world and its workings. Not that blind faith is wrong. It is the key to all religions. But it is truly intriguing how Norwegians view the world and spirituality.

Copenhagen-The LAS VEGAS of Europe :P

Well, its been quite awhile since I updated my blog. So heres an update on whats been happening. Last week I had fall break. I spent it in Denmark visiting my best friend Nicolai. It was awesome:D Copenhagen was great. Although, another week would have been nice of course ha ha. After walking around ravaging the cheaper clothes than Norway I noticed something funny. After about around 3.00 p.m about 80% of the people are walking around with beers in the streets. This is so different from Norway, well and of course Minnesota. But this really reminded me of Las Vegas and from what I hear, you can find a party every night.

After the break, the horrible illness that every student fears set in...again.. Senioritis! Except I guess it would be call Russitis here ha ha. (Russ is what the "seniors" in Norway are called). I am definitely at the point in my life where I feel ready for university or college. I mean school is good now. But still feel like college now too ha ha. So I am waiting for senioritis to pass again. But I have started my search for universities again. But this time its in Norway and Denmark now. A few days again I was only set on Norway, but now I have began researching some school in Denmark too. Although its hard deciding on what I want to study. I have made a list: Architecture or Design, English, Media studies or anthropology. It is really hard deciding, but I think I really am going to work towards something to do withy Design or architecture. Who knows what the future brings. But wish me luck!
