first day on the job

Today I got to work at the cafe in town, Lyspunktet. It is my community service assignment, and I just love it. It's such a warm, cozy place. They have amazing coffee, baked treats and food.  A few of the things I got to sample today were the vegan chocolate muffins, maple syrup and chocolate chip muffins, a mango milkshake, carrot cake made with fresh carrots, and a chicken quesadilla to take home for dinner. Oh and I had my first Coke since I've been here! It was the best food I've had so far in Norway.  I learned how to make milkshakes, Super sundaes,  do dishes, and serve orders. The worst part was when customers would ask me questions and I just laughed nervously at them and explained in english how I didn't speak Norwegian. Oh well, I'm getting used to that.  It was just great to work in a practical way, doing something other than chores and feeling like I have a job.  And I even made 12 kroner in tips! (that's $2) yesssss.
