I Suck At Coming Up With Titles

Aunt Iselin and I just watched Queen of Katwe a few minutes ago, I hadn't seen it before so Aunt Iselin suggested it. I cried throughout most of the film, not because it was too sad or anything, my tears flowed because it woke something in me, it reminded me of how great anybody can be and how where you come from doesn't determine where you are headed to.

I don't live with Aunt Iselin anymore, school started about three weeks ago and so I had to move to the 'city', Kirkenes about a 45 minute drive from Aunt Iselin's.

A few weeks ago I was nervous about starting school again and moving in with a new family, the thought of really moving on and away from Pasvik folk high school terrified me but I knew that there was no going back, it had to be done. I remember at some point I would joke and say that I wanted to go another year at the folk high school because I wasn't ready to go back to school or move away from Aunt Iselin. Once again, Aunt Iselin was right, most things turned out well... somethings never will, because I let them be.

My new family is really awesome, we really are a good match and I get along with them really well. Helge and Sissel are the parents and currently only Nora and Sofie are staying with us. The other two daughters, Johanne and Elise are in the south and in Oslo. I've got a home away from home away from home, it kind of scares me that I have been so lucky, but I'm not complaining. Each of these people, everybody that I know, somehow teach me something new and bring out the best in me, help me get better at somethings that I usually wouldn't even try fixing.

I applied to IB at Kirkenes vgs last year and I got in. Everybody that has done the IB Diploma or has heard about it knows that it sucks the life out of you and makes your brain melt, or so I've heard. I'm hoping that I will not be agree with that after two years, but for now, I can say that it has been a rough start but I'm getting by. At least for now. I might write about some topic on Social Anthropology, Biology, TOK or just dwell on a topic in ESS that interests me, but I will let you know if I do so that in that way, I share the knowledge and also kind of keep it permanently in my brain.

These days I worry about reading my textsbooks, doing assignments and worrying about if I will be done with my CAS on time or if I will really just get done with the IB. Not to mention how I am constantly working on not reading too much, also avoiding energy drinks and so on.

Times have been rough now, not that rough, but inside my brain and I'm really still working on my time planning skills and you know, I've just been settling in and that is something I am supposed to be used to by now, but I'm not.

Hope you guys are doing okay and be safe out there!

hearts, Queen
