Mindball Game

Every time I think I have seen everything in Norway, I find something else that surprises me again. Today we had a school trip to a place called Sandnes. We went to visit Abel`s sketchbook, the museum for hands-on experience in maths, science, and technology.  In this museum, there are all kinds of games that test your skills by taking part in various experiments. Some of the skills that can be tested are how calm and relaxed you can be, your balance and how fast you can react. Mindball game was one of the games I played and really enjoyed because I competed with a lot of people and won every time. In mindball game, you have to move the ball with your mind. I don't know how I became so good in this game because my mind is always busy thinking about everything going on with me but the good thing is now I know what I'm good at🤣🤣🤣🤣.  These games reminded me how science is amazing and the world is moving so fast.

Working at the Lundheim Folk school has given me an opportunity to explore more of Norwegian culture and I have learned a lot. There are a lot of small things they do that contribute to the success of their everyday life. One thing that I find really interesting and useful is how they plan everything in advance. They plan everything in detail for next week in such a way that before the week starts you know everything you are supposed to do. How good it feels knowing what tomorrow will look like!!! I think it is good to adopt this strategy in our daily life. You can start by buying a manual to-do list notebook and plan how you want to carry out your tasks the next day. If you are consistent with this you might find after a few months you are able to set goals for each month or year. The aim is to plan your tasks by prioritizing important ones that lead to achieving your goals. I have found quotes about planning that will support this strategy, I will write them below for you to t

The Christmas Season.

Christmas season is one of the holidays that people look forward to it for the whole year. This was my first time celebrating Christmas outside my country and I'm glad it happened because I will never look at Christmas the same again. From late November, it started feeling like Christmas and I have been feeling Christmassy for a long long time till early January. Most of us are used to celebrate Christmas on 25th December but here in Norway they celebrate on 24th December but from my experience, I think we have celebrated Christmas the whole of December. They have so many traditions for the Christmas season I'm going to try to explain some. Advent calendar   It is a special calendar used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. Small gifts are given on each day of December leading to Christmas so you open gifts every day.
