I hope you had a good week and that you are ready for a new one! I'm looking forward and got to tell you I love the school so far. So who am I? I am a girl from Norway, I grew up with the polar circle as my nearest neighbour, 71° north in a small fisher village called Gamvik. The last six years I have been living in Oslo where I have done all sorts of crazy stuff. From being a fashion store manager, dancer and a fire spitter. I wanted to be a dancer so I went to an audition in 2009, and I got in to a dance academy in Oslo. I do ballet, jazz and contemporary. I can't live without dance; it feeds my soul. I am a business major in Antioch and my dream is to help business develop or start my own company. I guess I don't know what the future holds, just yet. As a person I am deeply caring and I'm definitely a people pleaser. I keep my promises and I am someone you can count on. I have a brother and i big sister, they are my best friends and I miss them so much.
I just read the articles for this week and I enjoyed the texts a lot. Especially the one about genres, I find it interesting how you can write about something and use genres to describe it in so many different ways. The genres defines your text and your text will attract different kind of readers depending on your genre. What I loved reading about was the rhetoric part, I think being a good speaker is important to reach out to more people.
PS. When Zack told us to make a blog I was like "another one, oh ohnooo!" Haha, this means I have another blog, if you want, have a look on it! It's in Norwegian and it's called Californialiving.blogg.no - California is like porn for people in scandinavia, I'm telling you! So even though you might not understand Norwegian you are welcome to look at my pictures!

All the best
