You are one busy lady! Are their courses in English? Do they speak Norwegian? Summer is drawing to a close here too..it went down to 4C last night but it is still sunny and 23-28 now and for the next week when school starts. The sun rises at 6:35 and sets at 8:05. How is it there? You are a braver and tougher person than me to go swimming in that cold water!!! Good luck to you and your sons, all in your respective courses this year. You are one busy lady!

I wonder what kind of "orientations " he is looking for until early morning hours ! You will quickly get used to it. Nothing is worse for a young student then a mother who complains that she "can't sleep because he is not in yet" ! In the beginning I had one upstanding ear until he came home, but then as everything went smooth I just slept !! My son was here over the weekend and as usual I got the impression today that a thunderstorm went through the house ! Phone ringing, friends coming in and out and fridge robbing ! <strong> DianeCA:</strong> Yes, if I want him to save money by living home the first year then I have to put up with the late nights. The worst part is teens don't understand what a big favour we are doing by encouraging (almost with force) that he live home. Its not to inhibit his freedom he will save literally thousands of dollars by avoiding taking a student loan the first year. He wants to take a 6 year long education, he is going to have enough to pay back as it is!! Hehehe ! now you go through that with your oldest son !

It caught my eye right away. :-) I am excited for all of you - I really wish I could take some classes too, but I think I need to save up first. Good luck with all of it. :-) <strong> DianeCA:</strong> Luckily by working on the side I didn't have to take a loan to study the past two years. The butterfly picture is really pretty.
