Two exams down, one left to go! Thus far I haven't been brutally eviscerated by anything, but there is still the daunting task of going through all of these historical conservation chapters and compendiums before I feel confident. So until then, you will have to make do with continued radio silence from yours truly--and honestly, you haven't missed much. I've been cooped up in my room for going on a week and a half now, I'm going crazy.
But, once exams are over as of June 10th (*sobs*) I will be free! Like these guys.
Ahh, to be a russ kid in good ol' Norge. American high school seniors, we totally missed out.
I don't know about that. The pants.. :P
ReplyDeleteHaha, no, the pants are part of it! The russ outfit and lifestyle is a big deal for teenagers here.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lifestyle? I thought it was just a celebration! :o
ReplyDeleteBut I'm still not sure I'd be willing to wear the pants. :P
It's not just for the 17th of May. Prior to their exams for the part of April and most of May, Norwegian teenagers going on to university wear these clothes as a kind of rite of passage, if I'm understanding correctly. They do all kinds of crazy, partying nonsense like driving around at all hours of the night in party busses, drinking, dancing, engaging in vandalism, etc. It's... a bit silly if I'm being honest, but maybe I'm just too American. Who knows!
ReplyDeleteThe smelly clothes I can pass on, but it does look like fun. AHHHH to be in high school aga- no wait. No. No I don't miss it, haha. Not at all.
