Dream Big // Nicole Konderla

2.

A few months passed by and it was definetly a great time for me. My book became kind of popular in Norway and England. I had many interviews about it and my social media impact. I also graduated last month and decided to stay in Norway for a little bit longer. I was offered a nice job in the psychology centre in Tromsø and I started working there two weeks ago.

Remember Nicole? We're about to start working together. She'll come to Norway in a few days and will have a training camo here with her coach. I will help her with her mind during that time and I'm pretty sure it will pay off. We've already had a few online sessions before but it's not the same thing. There were some improvments of course, but none of us was satisfied with them. I know that Nicole can do so much better!

I woke up and went to my kitchen. It looks like this by the way:

I really like it. Today I decided to start my day with a smoothie and fresh bread with veggies.

4 days later...

"AAAAAH NICOLE I'VE MISSED YOU!" I yelled after I saw her getting out of the train at the railway station. Her coach had to stay in Poland due to family problems. He'll arrive in a week. But Nicole didn't want to cancel our plans and she decided to come to Tromsø anyway. We'll have a few sessions and activities together before he's here.

"Oh lalah, you haven't changed at all since Warsaw! I've missed you too, bestie" she answered hugging me so tight I could barely breathe. She was wearing her new national team clothes and she looked like this in them:

I took her to my car which was ugly and old, but I'm getting a new one soon. Nicole told me she was hungry after her long travel first from Szczyrk to Warsaw, then from Warsaw to Oslo, and finally from Oslo to Tromsø. Well, yeah, it's a long way. I believe how exhausting it was for her to get there. I drove to McDonald's to grab some food at Drive Thru. She didn't want to eat there, because she treats her sport very professionaly. I explained how important it is yo have a cheat day, even if you're an athlete, and she trusted me, because "I'm a psychology professional". She was right!

We arrived to my place because she didn't want to stay at the hotel on her own. When the coach arrives, she'll move there. I showed her her room. Actually it wasn't a room at all. My flat was very small. I had only one room, which was my bedroom and office at the same time. I had placed a curtain and a camp-bed near the window to keep it private. It was Nicole's room for the upcoming week. There was also a bathroom and of couse a kitchen in my place. That's all.

The evening came and we came back home from the city centre. I wanted to make Nicole fall in love with this place! I also showed her where the ski jumping hills are. I started preparing dinner for us. It was a fit and healthy version of spaghetti carbonara (author note: car banana hehe).

"Nicole, could you please open this closet?" I asked. I had a surprise! "Yeah, this one. Amazing, now take the pink box. Yes, this one. Great. Now open it! It's a surprise for you!"

"Oh my God, you didn't have to!" she smiled and started slowly opening the box. The dish was ready and I was putting it on plates. "Oh God, what a cute pyjamas set! Thank you so much"

"Now look at this!" I put the plates at the table and left to my room to came back with the same set. "I have the same one but in a different colour! We've git matching pyjamas like real best friends!" I said and both of us started laughing.

The evening was great and we had a wonderful time together. Can't wait for thr results of our work!
