Official Orientation Week

Now we got to the real Orientation Week. They planned a program for the whole week, with a lot of information and fun activities. Begin is always a official welcome and some information.

At the afternoon, we had the "Trondheim Games". It was a bunch of challenges and questions to know the city and Norway better.

We had to hug Norwegians :D

On the second day it was just information meetings. Which were kind of useless, because we had all the information already in a checklist. Wednesday was a disaster, they had to cancel the activity planed for the afternoon because of too much rain. The Matriculation ceremony was totally wet, I didn't go.

I only got lunch...

Lucky us we got good hiking weather the day after. All international students went in different groups to different hikes to see the nature. It is a pretty good idea, only we had to decide before without any idea were the hike goes. I selected on of the difficult ones, the Cooper Valley. The way was good, just we went already to some of the places...

Our hike and lots of others ended at Lian Lake, I met some friends from the week before and of course we went swimming.

it was a bit cold

Friday was full, we had information meetings, BBQ and big party.

On Saturday we had two choices, either Quiz Night or Movie Night. I selected the first option and was a lot of fun.
The ending of the Orientation Week was a Match from Rosenborg Trondheim.

After the orientation week, the Uni starts. We did a lot, had a lot of fun and enjoyed our time. Lucky me I had just two lectures in the first week. Still the week wasn't boring ;)
Cheers
