Hello!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Joanne and I am a 3rd year English major at UC Santa Barbara. I am studying abroad in Oslo, Norway at the University of Oslo for the autumn 2013 semester. I am here with my boyfriend of 3 years, Kyle, and he will appear in a lot of my posts.
Just a few things about me: I am a vegetarian, so we will see how that goes while I am in a country that predominantly eats fish. As I said, I am an English major and I like to write, so this blog is just to get myself writing and to remember my time here. I also come from sunny California, so it will be a big change living in Norway once it starts snowing. I have also traveled moderately, and this is my third time to Europe, so I feel somewhat confident in getting around. I chose Norway because the university offers a huge number of courses in English, and because I thought that a drastic change in climate would be fun (or at least interesting). I don't know any Norwegian, but I've signed up for an introductory course.
In Norway, I will also be taking a philosophy course and an English literature course. Classes start in a week, and I will update you more on what each course is like.
