feel free to say "told you so"


I have a little story for you my blog readers.

Friday afternoon was my last final and just like the first two this one was about a 10 to 15 minute walk away. I have kept a very anti-bus philosophy while living in Reykjavik because this city is so small, why waste money when you have legs that can walk? I woke up to the wind screaming at the rain and the storm continued all day. At dressed for the worst and forced my way through the wind and the sleeting rain. At some points the wind would blow so hard I could barely move an inch forward. I had to walk across this bridge that crosses one of the only busy roads and a huge gust of wind came and I literally blew to the other side of the bridge. I almost started to worry that I wouldn't make it to my test at all because the weather was so bad. I did make it on time, just soaking wet and I smelt like a dog. It was not fun taking a three hour final wet, but I survived and came back to my dorm.(Oh the things I do to pass my classes, ha). I put on sweats, drank tea, and ate my mini spooners (an attempt at the real min wheats?) the rest of the night. Of course at night the storm stopped and it was beautiful out. Such is the weather in Iceland.

I refused to step foot outside the next day because it was still raining. But Sunday morning was beautiful and warm out. I went to church with some friends to watch another friend sing in a choir, and then we went to the flea market and out to coffee. For dinner I went over to my Icelandic Buddy's house for some lamb. It was amazing! Today I've been doing random things that needed to get done and ran home from down town. It was wonderful. I have made a fun-to-do-list for my last week in Iceland and it is really shaping up into an awesome week, at least on paper. :]

I leave the 20th, and hopefully I'll be able to blog again, but if not its been great sharing my life with you. Bless friends.
