being [home]

nobody@vox.com(dinosaurio) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:27:03 -0400

So, I've been home for a couple of weeks now. What's it like to be home? In truth, it is quite strange. Things here are much more overwhelming and complicated. There is more of everything; more choices, more channels, more buildings, more peo...

leaving

nobody@vox.com(dinosaurio) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:00:26 -0400

One room has been cleaned. Two bags have been packed. An infinite number of goodbyes have been said. Many "one last times" have been experienced. Numerous emotions are being felt. One girl is going home. I never even imagined me getting to ...

I figure it's time for an update. So my week on the farm went by very well. I stayed with a very nice icelandic couple out in the east fjords. I helped feed the sheep, mark the new born lambs, and even helped a few enter this world. It was act...

nobody@vox.com(dinosaurio) — Sat, 17 May 2008 18:29:18 -0400

So, Eurovision is next weekend. It's a huge music competition and this year it will take place in Serbia. I'm hoping I get to see it, but I'll be out in the country on a sheep farm. It's the first Eurovision that I have ever gotten involved in ...

So since I've last written life has been moving forward, per usual. The saturday after Söngkeppni Framhaldskólanna I went to see the Iceland Symphony Orchestra with the family. A friend of the family, Silla, plays the violin in the orchestra an...

flying [by]

So last weekend was the Söngkeppni Framhaldsskólanna and I went up to Akureyri for the weekend. It was simply a blast. I spent the majority of my weekend with Ollie, Ann-Sophie, and Lelenia. Friday night we chilled and went to Sjallinn to se...

I'll begin this post with my fantastic Easter break. In Iceland there is a national religion, it happens to be Lutheran, so Easter break is quite nice. I had over a week off from school and decided that it would be a good time to visit Rebecca....

nobody@vox.com(dinosaurio) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:09:20 -0400

This entry is a short teaser for the update that is to come. I need to fill all of you in on my amazing Easter break, most of which I spent up north visiting my good, Swiss friend Rebecca. We had a pretty good weekend, I'm not gonna lie. Chock...
