Another holiday

I've just ended my study semester with exams in the subject "Reportasjearbeid i framand kultur" or translated to English "Reporting from a foreign culture". So now I'm ready for christmas holidays, going back home in the north and taking part in arranging cabaret, and watching another cabaret having a good time with good friends and some beer.

Talking about the end of a study semester and holiday is a bit different after this semester. Many would consider the studying I've been doing this semester as just another holiday. I must admit I'm priviledged who get the oportunity to travel to India, studying. All my fellow students have several teoretic exams these days, often having to read a lot of books for just half the study credit I get for my India studies. Of course we had to read some for our exams too, but it's completly different.

I'm really happy I chose to take the India study. The semester will be remembered with happy thoughts for a long time.
