Hey guys, I'm back. Because it's Sunday and I've decided that for once, I am going to blog On Time.
Gosh, I am good.

It's intriguing being on exchange in the Faroe Islands, because somehow, I am becoming Fit. Yes, Fit. Me! I put it down to the really vicious P.E lessons we have once a week which are actually insanely fun because they play heavy metal while we do press-ups and sit-ups and play crazy games that I can never understand. And the hill I walk up every day after school which is insanely steep and very large - it basically goes straight up a cliff, which our school is built under (my school, by the way, is in the most beautiful setting. There's a lot of forest around it, cultivated of course, and to get to school everyday, I walk through it along these cute little paths. And there's a river with waterfalls! It's gorgeous). And well, you're just compelled to be fit here. Walking is beautiful, there are fantastically pretty landscapes up in the mountains if you walk 15 or 20 minutes. The views are incredible. So yeah, I'm becoming Fit. Weird, huh? I think I'm taking up badminton next week, intriguingly. And on Saturday, I'm doing a Fun Run ... never would have gone near one of those in New Zealand, but however.
This can only be a good thing, right?

Yeah, so I've discovered that going to the Studentaskúli in Hoyvík is a little hard out when it comes to the social side of things. Last night, I attended a class party which was overly hilarious and generally fantastic and thankfully, about 2 minutes walk from my house. They party all night here, though, and I arrived home at about 5AM. Ouch.
And we went out for dinner beforehand ... and then on Monday and Tuesday night we went bowling, and on the Thursday before that, we went to see a movie ... yeah, they're uber social and they seem to like to invite me, which is fantastic. We all get along really well.
And AFS is social, too! On Friday night Lisa (from Austria) and Stacey (the other New Zealander) and I sat around at Lisa's and watched movies - but for the most part we discussed our exchanges so far. Everyone is having a fantastic time, so I have come to the conclusion that the Faroes are just a good place to be.

AFS assured us all that culture shock and homesickness would hit us soon in the exchange with a vengeance. But I've been here over a month and haven't had either, so mayhap it just won't happen. I hope not. I don't want anything to ruin my exchange.

But yes, everything is doing fantastically well, and I can understand a lot now, so yeah ... I'm having more fun than you could ever fathom.
