I should be doing homework, but I don't want to.
I also should be sleeping, but I can't go to sleep before I've done my homework.

Status update:
Life is fine. I've made some pretty good friends at school. It's fun to be friends with people of so many different nationalities. I seem to have made a reputation for myself as the weirdo of the group. Not ( Read more... )

Yesterday was quite annoying. The annoyingness started Sunday night, really, when my internet suddenly stopped working. It's happened occasionally that the server is down for a couple of hours, so I decided to just take it as a sign that it was time for me to log off and go to sleep. When I came home on Monday afternoon the internet was still not ( Read more... )

This post of Lísa's inspires me to write a little about my experience with P.E. You probably all know that I don't like sports, and that I'd rather spend my time inside with a good book than outside playing football. Those of you who were in high school with me, will remember my disdain for P.E. there, which basically amounted to: "Ugh, they want ( Read more... )

I suppose I should do like the others and list my Christmas presents. They're just so... many!

I've been having lots of fun and adventures lately. Mika, dad and I spent most of the weekend travelling around the south of Iceland. On Thursday we saw the Golden Circle (Gullfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir). Someone had scribbled with red chalk on a banister near Gullfoss "Remember to kiss". I found that very cute. <3 Dad managed to take a lovely ( Read more... )

I'm in Vestfirðir currently. Very close to the furthest west peak in Europe. We went there today, enjoying the westliness of it all. We saw seals from far away and a puffin up close. Iceland rules!
My dad took a picture of the westest poop in Europe. Um, yay.

And now...

Dad bought a car today. Yaaaay! As opposed to most of the other cars we've ever owned, it's not a piece of junk, so I hope it will last a while ( Read more... )

Dad: Have you been to Þjóðminjarsafnið?
Me: Yes, but it's been a long while.
Dad: How much is a long while?
Me: Uh... let me see. I remember that it was John Lennon's 64th birthday, so it must have been 2004.
