Well hey. Blog. Again. Sunday. Woohoo!
Ah, so yeah. What has happened this week?
Well, school started again, which feels sincerely weird. It should be the summer holidays, but here I am starting a new term at school. We went back on Monday and it has been pretty much school since with a twist - I can now understand what goes on. All of it. It's a really nice feeling but now I have to do the work and that ISN'T a nice feeling. I'm still coming top of maths, english and chemistry though so that's a bonus.
I had a letter published in the NZ Herald a few days back. It was really strange because I didn't think they would publish it. I just wrote it in on a whim, considering that my situation was pretty unique. So that was fun.
I'm going on a mini exchange on the 4th of February for a week which sounds fun. I think I am going to Sørvágur where my contact person lives, to work in a kindergarten. I am quite looking forward to it.
I had a class party last night which was wonderfully fun. It was quite interesting though, walking downtown afterwards, as it was about -2 degrees and the roads were covered in ice. We also decided to go for a walk at about 2AM and just slid around a bit before wandering down to the national soccer field. Yeah, it was a fun night.
Next weekend I have a class party on Vágar, another island in the West. It is very odd to have a class party there as usually we walk into town once we're done partying in someone's house to go to the clubs or whatever. There are no clubs on Vágar which would make things fun. We can't get home until the interisland bus leaves at 8AM the next morning. So yes, it will be extremely entertaining, I imagine.
I am going to another island the weekend after next with my big band - we have been invited to play at something involving the election which is ... somewhen. And so we are going to Suðuroy, the southernmost of the Faroe Islands. It takes about 2 hours to get there by ferry and we are playing onboard as well as 2 concerts on the island. We stay there overnight and then come back the next day. That will be nice as I haven't been to Suðuroy yet, but I have a host aunt there.
But yeah, anyway, I think that's about all I have to report except for some travel arrangements - I am going to Iceland in March for Easter, Silja may well be coming here for a weekend next month, and in April my friend Cory, who is from Christchurch and on exchange in Denmark, is coming up for my birthday and to come to school with me for a few weeks! So that will be wonderfully, wonderfully fun. I am really looking forward to seeing them both, and showing off the Faroes!
Anyway, I'm going to head out. Or not out, it's blowing a gale and snowing, but I have maths homework which I guess should be done ...
Yeah, síggjast!
