How english has become a global language

English started to spread around the world with the world wars, soldiers left their countries, learned new words, put it in their language, and started to use daily.
Today we are surrounded by english all the time, in the music, advertising of different things on TV, internet and in magazines. Many people have english as their second language, and start to learn english from their first day at school.
Is it weird english has become a global language when we start to learn it so early in our lives?

A poem

We went for a walk into the dark, misterious forest
The birds stopped singing and the smell of moss got stronger
There were no longer trees waving in the wind
But we continued to walk into the forest

We were walking in the forest and saw a light in the end
The birds came back and we saw two butterflies
There was some cows there too
We came to the end of the dark forest and it opened up
To show us all the precious creatures it was hiding
Only to get us fall more in love with the dark, misterious forest

A quote about parenting

«If you have never been hated by your child you have never been a parent»
- Bette Davis (1908-1989)

I think this quote is important to remember for all the parents who get tired of us. We can be a pain in the ass, but untill our parents has been «hated» by us they don’t relly know how it is to be a parent, they have to experience the «bad» side of us to appreciate all the other things we do. After all we love them and they just have to think about that when we are at our worst.

Field Trip

We started our trip with a 5 hour bus drive to Lillehammer where we went to Helvete(hell) with huge potholes.
                                                 
                                    
This is in the potholes, it was fascinating to go in the potholes. When we were done we drove to Otta so we could see Kvitskriuprestinn.
                                             

It was exhausting to walk to Kvitskriuprestinn. And we looked at them for 4-5 minutes before we went down to the bus and drove to Heidal Rafting to camp.
The next day it was time for rafting. We had to wear wetsuit and a helmet.      

As you can see  it didn't look very good, but it was really fun to raft. 

After the rafting we drove up to Juvasshytta-Bøverdalen and stayed there for 2 nights.
The boys had cabins and they were less than us with more showers, while we where 31 girls on 2 showers. So me and my friend showered in the river, I think it was about 5 or 6 degrees in the water so it was not that cold. :)

On Thursday we walk up Norway's highest mountain, Galdhøpiggen which is 2469 meters abve sea level. We had beautiful weather, the sun was shining and there was clear sky.

This was our view on the top, it was beautiful.

It was a little cabin on the top where you could buy over priced drinks and food.
