Back in Kristiansand
By now, Kristiansand feels like home to me and I am always excited to come back. Since there was no university trip or free time activity this time, we did a few things in the surroundings. I went geocaching in the forest behind the university for the first time with two fellow students. Once we knew what to look for, it was a lot of fun.
To exchange our experiences from the Easter holidays, we organized a campfire where each group presents a story in the form of a play, a poem, a narrative, or a video.
I wrote a poem about a hike for Sara's and my trip to Bergen:
Since I borrowed climbing equipment from the Friluftsliv organization in Kristiansand, I went climbing twice, trying lead climbing and route setting for the first time. It's a completely different type of climbing, but it's definitely just as much fun.
During one of our weekly grocery shopping trips, I saw an employee sorting out the refrigerated section. There was already some discarded fruit in a box, so I asked Sara if she thought I could just ask if I could take it. So I simply asked what was wrong with the fruit, and the employee explained that it was going to be thrown away. I was bold enough to ask if I could instead take the fruit. Since it wasn't a problem for him and it wasn't prohibited, we now have some kiwis, mandarins, and a zucchini for free :)
In the meantime, my hat is finished and I made a bracelet.
Together with Debby (a good friend), we tried to make gnocchi from scratch. Unfortunately, it didn't work out this time, so we'll have to try again.
We went on a hike in the neighboring municipality of Vennesla. The hike was about 4 kilometers in one direction on the former and only log slide in Norway. The wooden jetty looked really beautiful, but the hike got a bit boring and challenging in terms of social distancing, as the jetty is really narrow.
In the next post, I will write about another week full of activities at the university.
Until then,
