I don't speak Norwegian

Hello, bienvenidos and welcome to my writings from Norway! Okay, so I'm actually sitting in my campus house's living room, writing this, but that's neither here nor there.

As you may have guessed, my name is Claire. I'm a junior at Olaf and have played in the Orchestra for two wonderful years. The Orchestra is really what keeps me going here on the Hill, and I am so darn excited to spend nearly three weeks traveling through a gorgeous country with my best friends. I think I just might melt when we get to the Oslo Konserthuset. I will definitely have a music nerd moment.

I still haven't finished packing up my room (gah!) so I will end this introductory missive and leave y'all [I use this word a lot, be warned] to your work. But don't leave until you read Rebecca's blog, too. My next writing will probably be from Norway--fram fram!!
