I can`t believe it`s been a week since my last blog. Everything is so crazy here, but crazy is a good thing. We`ve been really busy, and when not busy, I desprately need my sleep.

Mike (UK, Grounds) arrived this week, and we already feel like family. On his second day here I was mopping the floor, and without realizing it, he walked all over it. I gave him a look and he quickly said `Sorry, Love you!` Something I would say to someone after months of knowing them, but this is what KISC does to you, you become family in a very very short period of time. Last night was Anna`s birthday, and today is Kike`s, so we`ve had a lot of cake.

Today I`m in Catering, but before that I was in Kanderlodge for two days. The first day, I was helping assemble beds, and then yesterday we were planeing them. When we got to Kanderlodge yesterday, Paul (in charge of Kanderlodge) said, `Who knows how to plane?`Lynsey replied `What`s plane?`
Paul said `You`re not doing it.`
So I explained what it was, and what it was used for, so Paul turns to me and says `You can do it`So I spent all day planeing, but it was still pretty fun. I worked with Mark (UK, Helper) and we had a lot of fun. Instead of Planeing, Lynsey got to paint ceilings (thanks dad for teaching me what a planer was) and also decided to attack everyone with the paint. I was the only one to escape, because I ran away in time, but the others had warrior paint, or mustaches made of paint.

The weather here has been a little crazy. Last weekend we had a snow storm, but today, it`s probably 11 degrees outside (celcius) and the snow is retreating quickly. As Mark puts it `It`s a beautiful day, perfect for avalanches`and sure enough, we had two avalances yesterday. Don`t worry, we`re not in the range to be hit, which is a good thing.

I still love it here, and can`t believe I`m a quarter way through. I`m dreading leaving, even though it`s still over two months away. No time to worry about that now, I`m in charge of dinner again- wish me luck!
