This is awesome! Reminded me of the golden days of being a russ haha
Thanks for taking the time to write all that down! It’s all very accurate, except that a lot of the “official” russ partying actually starts in October the year before we graduate
(I live in Canada now and I’ve deemed it impossible to properly describe the amazing-ness of the russ-celebration! but you did it very nicely! kudos!)

Hehe. I don’t know where we’ve learned about it. Think we’ve just been to isolated up here in the cold north, so that’s kind of what we’ve come up with.

But seriously; I thought it was very fun to read how someone abroad experienced the “russe-celebration”. It’s very “present-day”(is that even an expression?).

It’s just two days left though, so next week we’ll start with the finishing exams, and than I’ll probabley regret some of the things I havn’t done at school because of the “russe-celebration”.

Hmm, I know this is how it may seem to the people who isn’t “russ” themselves.. But you have overdone it alot!! And the few extreme things that is true, belongs to Oslo and Bærum and those cities, the rich spoiled kids.. Where the hell have you learned about the russe-celebration?!

Hi!
I thought this was fun to read, because it was someone else’s view. Someone abroad.

I can happily announce that now we’re in the middle of the “russe-celebration” here in the cold north, and I have to admitt that I’ve been enjoying it alot. We’ve been partying, wearing stupid red jeans and taking alot of different threads (including running naked through a tunnell). At the school I go to, we’ve also been collecting money for a missionary family in Mali. We’ve actually collected over 300.000NOK during the year, which we ofcaurse are very proud of. And we’ve also been making breakfast to our teachers, participated as a choir in different Christian meetings and ofcourse; kissed a man in uniforme:) (actually one of the once standing outside the Castle in Oslo. Please don’t tell the King!)

I just thought that to you who’ve written this, and to you who think that the “russe-celebration” is stupid and a waste; don’t we deserve to celebrate in a original way after 13years at school? Is it to bad to use some of our time to do silly things, and to do things we’ll never have the opportunity to do again later? Yes, it does float over some places with cars to 1.000.000NOK and such, but they are the rare once who put the rest of us in a bad light. So, the rest of the russe-celebrating I’ll have fun without using alot of money, and I’ll be proud of the part of money I’ve collected, and therefore party with good conscience.

Happy 17.may from Norway!
