Final Farewell

Mayauru the fairy lost her memory and lived alone in the forest. One day a girl happened to come by and they became friends. The girl called lots of friends and they all played happily but Mayauru wasn't human and aged slowly. The children grew up and eventually forgot about Mayauru. And then, the girl that she first met... was the only one left. But that girl grew up and wouldn't play with her anymore. Even so, the grown-up girl couldn't forget Mayauru and came back. Finally, Mayauru gave the lonely-looking girl a present. Words of farewell. Until then, people didn't know of the words of farewell. Mayauru was a farewell fairy. She'd forgotten that because it's painful to have nothing but farewells. The grown-up girl learned the words from Mayauru. And that girl who knew the words of farewell...? She became the world's kindest person. Shouldn't we just part with a smile? Sayounara.

The time for farewells is finally upon me and I would bear it as happily as I could. Besides from the fact that it is inevitable, everyone knew right from the start that I am just a fleeting shadow -- just passing by;but nonetheless, they befriended me. Just like Mayauru, being an exchange student is like being a farewell fairy. First I said goodbye to my family, to my friends, to my life and went off to a land unknown. I've found myself a new family and met a lot of friends to play with, momentarily forgetting that I am a farewell fairy and that before I know it, I would be saying farewells all over again. This time, a farewell that just doesn't say "I'll see you later" but, mixed with the fear of the reality that can happen, "We'll never see each other again".

Farewells should not be "I'll never see you again" but rather "I had fun being with you" because if the words "I'll never see you again" wouldn't do anything to change your fate, it is just folly to do it.

This is my gift to you: my words of farewell.
Farewell that says "I had fun being with you"
Farewell that says "I am a better person after I met you"
Farewell that says "I will never forget you"
Farewell that says "You are always in my heart"
Farewell that says "Thank you for everything"
Farewell that says "I love you"

I am, but a fairy of farewells.
Shall we part then with a smile?

Good bye.
Paalam.
Ha det.
Sayounara.
Arrivederci.
Au revoir.
Auf Wiedersehen.
Adeus.
Adiós.
再见.

27.09.06 Pølsefest

I går kveld, hadde vi pølsefest hjemme hos Cathrina og Cecilia.
Det var morsomt fordi mange AFS-studenter hadde kommer.. og.. well.. det er morsomt!
Jeg kan vent ikke til alle av oss lære norsk. og jeg vet det er vanskelig å snakke norsk men det er hyggelig å se alle prøver veldig hardt å snakke. Jeg synes de mest av oss er triste, kansje fordi vi savnere vår familiere.Men, jeg tror, det vil ikke hjelp oss fordi vi kan ikke gjore noenting om det.

Last night, we had a pølsefest at Cathrina and Cecilia's home.
It was fun because many AFS-students came. and.. well.. it was fun!
I can't wait until all of us learn norwegian. And I know that it's hard to speak norwegian, but we must try.
I think that most of us are sad because we are missing our families, but, I think, it won't help us because we can't do anything about it.

Although, it was quite unfortunate that I needed to go early because my host brother had some homeworks to do. I know I could have chosen to stay, but I don't want my host dad to drive back again just a couple of hours after. I know he's tired too. I would've chosen to stay though, if out of the circumstances.. I wanted to talk more with the other students.. but oh well, what's done is done.. there's still a second time, though.. ^^
