Well, hello.
Wednesday, and Kelsy FINALLY gets around to blogging. Woohoo.
So, a few things have happened this week that deserve to be talked about!
The snow melted, for one. That was really quite tragic and I shall be sad until it comes back, which hopefully will be soon, god knows, it's cold enough. 'Twas 3 degrees today, but it's funny ... when I got up and looked at the thermometer, I actually heard myself say, 'It's 3 degrees. Not that cold. Indeed, 'tis a balmy temperature.' I never thought I would catch myself classing a meagre three degrees as balmy, but there we go.
What else has happened? Hmm. Well, my class is throwing a party on Saturday, which looks to be quite a lot of fun - they usually are, and on Friday night I am going to Fuglafirði, this cute little town that I've actually only seen in the dark due to it being the most frequently used concert venue in the Faroes - they have this place called Mentanarhusið (the culture house) which is very handy and has a great dance floor. The concert on Friday night involves lots of good dancing music - starts at nine and probably goes until four or five so looks to be a good night! My weekend is shaping up well.
Next weekend I may also blog late, but not because of laziness (I admit, this is the usual reason). I shall spend the weekend on an AFS camp in Mikladalur on the island of Kalsoy - I'm really looking forward to it as we have to take a ferry across from Klaksvík and it looks to be a long trip and if you know me, you'll know I love a good road trip. Kalsoy has 130 people, so I'm intrigued as to how big a population the town of Mikladalur plays host to ... not many, I'm guessing, but it will definitely be fun to go to Kalsoy, mainly because it's pronounced 'Kelsy'.
Tomorrow and Friday, I apparently don't have to go to school ... a friend rang today and informed me that we have a physics project that we are working on in groups for the two remaining days of the week. I'm a little stuck, though, as the teacher has emailed me the project via the school network, which my username doesn't work on, one of the members of my group is very ill, another is living on a different island which keeps getting cut off by snow, and so that leaves me and Hanus. Must call him or something, as there's not much I can do without the project.
I had an all day band practice today with one of my big bands which I play with, that was fun as we went from 9-5 and broke only for pizza, wienerbreyð (best thing ever. Like a long Danish but BETTER, and you know me and Danishes), and coffee. It was fantastically great, though, to really go for it, and we have a concert next Wednesday! So that shall be good fun. But then, when we finished at five, I had to attend the second band's practice, and that one is ... somewhat intense, as the music is rather difficult. 'Twas also fun, though. And it now seems that I shall be joining another music school band which is actually an orchestra - practice starts on Monday so I very much look forward to that.
Anyhoo, I'd better go and hunt down this projecty thing ...
Much love, Kelsy
