The Kite Runner - first entry

As a new assignement from our teacher, we're supposed to read the critically acclaimed book "The Kite Runner". As I have previously read 1/3 of the book, I already know some of the story. Not that much has happened up untill now in the book. We've only just met Amir and Hassan. Although, it is still hard to start reading again, because of the lack of motivation I have for the book. But as any other student in my class, I'll have to read the book. When I think about it, maybe it's not that bad of an idea to read it for the second time? I might pick up something new from the book that I didn't do the first time I read it.

School vs. Facebook

Today, we were given an article by our teacher that revolves around the subject of the usage of Facebook in school. The articles fact is mind blowing, as the grades of students visiting the internet site was 20 percent lower than those who chose not to. Being a student myself, I will here by probably want to rethink the situation next time I want to check out whether or not I have a new notification or a new mail in my mailbox. It might be for the best, keeping in mind that theese are my two last years here at Sandvika Videregående.

First semester, first task

So basically, we’ve been given this task by our English teacher, to start our own blog that we will have to update roughly for the next two years. As I’m not the typical or average “blogger”, I think I owe it to myself to at least give it a try. There’s really not that much that I want to discuss or bring up at the moment, all I can say is that I’m looking forward to learn more English for the two years to come. I’ve always been excited to study different languages, but English has always been more interested than a lot of the other languages that has caught my attention. Not to mention that it’s more interesting than the other classes I go to, in my opinion.

What will make this year even more exciting for me, I think is that we are going more abroad this year, learning more about English outside the Commonwealth-themed subjects.
