Mig langar að læra íslensku. Mér finnst gaman að læra íslensku, að syngja, að synda, að lesa, og að borða. Ég er að horfa á sjönvarpið og að skrifa. Ég ætla að sofa klukkan ellefu. Ég er búin að borða.

I wanted to see how much of my blog I could write in icelandic. I thought I did wonderfully mostly because I did nothing today. It is really bizarre because my roommate is going home in a few days, so she is packing up her things. It really makes me want to be going home also. I am so excited to see my family and spend time with my friends. Well, I guess I will get my chance soon enough.

P. S. I love Icelandic :)

Call me Irresponsible

Today is a good day. Last night I got to see two of my favorite people! My cousin is starting school, so he is just got in Saturday night, and he came over and we ate dinner and talked. I was really fun.

I also got to see my future roommate who has been in New Zealand for the past 4 months. She ate dinner with us too and we chatted. I am so excited to hang out with both of them these next few weeks! All my other friends have left, and now I have new people to chill with!

So, today I actually got up at a decent hour, it was crazy! I never go to bed before 1, but last night I did, so when I got up at 9:30, I was very surprised with myself. It feels good to have morning. So, I guess I am off to important things!

Everybody's going to love today!

So, I am cooking dinner tomorrow for my cousin. I haven't seen him since he got back to the states. I am totally excited. It will be delicious. I am about to leave for the grocery store.

I made chocolate chip cookies today. They are very yummy, if I do say so myself. I have recently discovered how much I like to cook and do dishes for that matter. I think I want to make asparagus tomorrow, that would be really yummy!

I am really excited for this coming week because my cousin just got here, and my friend just came home. It is going to be such a party, Whoohoo!

Anyway, I am off to the grocer.

Tomorrow We'll Discover What Our God in Heaven has in store...

One More Dawn,
One More Day,
One Day More...

So, yesterday I finished finals. It is really weird not having things to do. I have a few weeks left where I will pack and finish my online classes and party. But it is really weird not having a set of things I have to do each day. I really want structure in my life, because I want to be productive, but I don't know what activities I want to actively purse.

Maybe I should make a list:

-finish online classes
-pack
-spend time with friends
-learn Ágætis Byrjun on the piano
-work on Icelandic
-work on my Resumé
- now, I am starting to draw a blank, any suggestions?

It's totally an addiction

But I feel so gay in a melancholy way, that it might as well be spring

It is spring! I never realized how boring life is when you don't have things going on. I don't have any finals until Tuesday of next week, so I don't have anything to do. I am so bored.

Actually, I have a lot to do, I just don't want to study. I do want to go outside and play all the time. Why can't I do that? Well, I guess that gets pretty boring pretty quick too. I really like Michael Bublé. I am listening to him right now. Everything, in particular. This has been one of my favorite songs for a while now. I want to find someone who is my everything and I want to be there everything.

I went to my friend's bridal shower today and it twas delightful. I am so happy for her. She has found such a wonderful person to marry and they compliment each other perfectly. It is still a little weird for me to think that I am at an age where I could be married. I still feel like such a child. I don't have everything under control, but I guess I live on my own for most of the year and keep my self alive. That's saying something.

Well, I'm off to enjoy friendship and good weather! :)

No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance.

And though you never know all the step, you must learn to join the dance.

It seems like a lot of things are changing right now in my life. It is hard to be this age because I am stuck between being an adult and a child. I miss my childhood but I do enjoy being an adult. It is hard to make choices about what to do with my time because I am stuck between two different states. I have friends and family here at school and I have friends and family back home.

My family bought a new house back home. I am totally excited for this summer, but it is a little bitter sweet. Things are always changing and I am always getting older. As much as I want to be a child again, I can't be one.

The song I quoted at the beginning was from The Prince of Egypt. I find that some of the greatest things I learn don't come from books, but from songs, movies, plays, books, contemplation and the example of others. I am so glad that we are all individuals and we have different opinions, thoughts, values and we make different choices. I appreciate the differences of the world. Life would be so boring if we were all the same.

Being in University has been a bit of a transition for me. I had a hard time putting myself out there, but I realize that having friends is totally worth the amount of embarrassment/awkwardness that comes with meeting new people. I used to celebrate in the fact that I was a dork, but now I try to hide it. I think a lot of that come with the territory. The social undercurrents of my school are seriously messed up.

ATTENTION ALL BOYS:

MAKING FRIENDS WITH GIRLS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN FINDING A WIFE!!!! STOP BEING STUPID, AND MAKES LOTS OF FRIENDS!!!!

Seriously, people are SO frustrating sometimes. Anyway, I found this clip and it reminded me of my childhood (I actually very strongly remember this specific scene.) Enjoy :)
