France... the home of wine

So in France, local farmers are standing on the side of the road handing out red wine in a little baggie with a pamphlet to those who drive by... and I ask myself... WHY OH WHY DON'T I LIVE IN FRANCE?!?! What a wonderful land they live in. Scenario, driving home from work, had a crummy day, can't wait to see your special someone (or your pet, if you are single), and BAM a local farmer from a vineyard on the other side of town gives you a bottle of red wine! Red red wine.... gets to my he-ea-ead. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
The reason these local farmers were giving away wine was because the French are buying more foreign wine, and less French wine. So, how do they promote their wine??? THEY GIVE IT AWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING BY. Genius.
Orientation week went well here at the University of Akureyri. We grilled on Monday, had department night and sing star on Tuesday, Movie night (Dukes of Hazard) on Wednesday, relaxation on Thursday, and on Friday we went out to Kjarnarskó and ran around and grilled, then went to Sjallin where Drekktu Betur, a question competition which includes a little bit of drinking, don't let the name fool you, took place. All in all it all turned out perfect :)
All right, well I have to get to studying, ciao!

Chicken Soup for the Chris

So, today i spent the entire day basically packing. I'm starting to get a little excited about going home. I took a little break in my day, drove my mum to work and took Chris some Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, since he just got his tonsels taken out... aww! Poor kid. Then the Leah-ster is getting 1, yes 1, singular, wisdom tooth out, and she's flipping shit. Poor Gal!!!
AHHHHH i'm getting nervous about going back to the klake! Geeze Luise!

Turning Chinese, I think I´m turning Chinese...

All right, BACK FROM NYC! Oh my God, what a place to be. I seriously can see myself living there. Not just anywhere though, but in China Town. I don´t think we saw more than 5 white people when we were there... it was like being in a completely different country but still in the same country! Totally awesome. But we went to Times Square, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center, China Town and walked around and watched people ;) hehe my favourite thing to do! It´s so funny to be there though, because your such a tourist and don´t know anything... don´t know where you´re going, unnecessarily run through massive rain drops cuz your father was yelling "TRAIN" when, for the twentieth time, it clearly wasn´t your train ;) HEHE I tell ya´ll, some funny ass shit happened on that trip. We got lost in the wooden paths of Central Park (not everyone can say that), we went to a Irish Pub where the occupancy was a total of 5 when we got there (it´s all right cuz we just threw some money into the jukebox and had one hell of a time), and we managed to spend AN INSANE amount of money on food, which my dad so greatly and fabulously picked out!!!! ;) Man oh man, it was lovely. London and China Town are the next living stops for Hildur.

And it´s a good day...

All right, day is off to a great start, it's 8:48 in the morning and I've already worked out, am sipping my latte and in one hell of a good mood. Anna and I are gonna eat lunch, I may visit Leah at work, and I have a whole day of studying to look forward to.
Hmm... I was going to write about something so interesting and intelligent, but clearly nothing is coming to mind. I could nag a little bit more, but I sincerely don't feel like it, so i'm going to stop. Maybe I'll write some more later today, maybe not. We'll see. All right, ciao!

Last ALEX-day!!! :(

Alex leaves tomorrow!!! AHHHH what am i gonna do without my merndawg... damn. So, I think i´m gonna go with my mum to Norfolk for a little bit today, then i have to hang out with "look who it is!!!". So last night mum gave me a massage... hell yea! I think she stretched me out to make me at least 5 cm. taller. Most definatly. Starbuck´s was also a place to hang out last night, with my chia and Anna, Leah and Henry to talk to, what could be better? EXCEPT THE FACT THAT WE LISTENED TO A LITTLE MICHAEL BOLTON WHILE WE WERE SITTING THERE.... I NIGHT TO LOVE!!! ;) Yea, I don´t think the other cool cats were liking it as much as me. Then we went to a friends house to hang out, a house full of junk... but still "organized" junk, so we weren´t allowed to play with the many straw hats and giant scissors. Some peeps managed to do it anyways :) (Anna and Alex). Crazyness.
***** Before I forget, LEAH IS A BOWLING PRODIGY****** "Listen guys, i´m not really a bowling prodigy. I´m not that good. It was hallarious. HAHA! (good one for us Anna)
Aight, gotta go get ready...

da da da da 10 DAYS :oS

Hmm... you know what sucks? WHEN TWO OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS DECIDE TO MOVE AWAY! Yea Stína and Vala, I´m talkin bout you! Hrrrmmm... not a happy camper these days about that. :(
Willy life: I am done now with work. My last day at 'The Kingsmill Spa' was on Saturday, and officially my last day with the swim team was on Sunday (there was a banquate). So these days I´m just studying and trying to get everything done before I have to go back to the land of Ice. This weekend my mum and I are going to go to NYC! That´ll most definately be a blast!
Well, my time here is cutting short... only 10 days till I go back....!!!! Jesus, that´s such a short time!
All right, I´m gonna get to doing things once again!
ciao!

www.hi5.com

So, www.hi5.com is the newest thing. You sign up and find people that are your friends. It's kind of like that "friend book", damn i forget what it's called, that the colleges have. Quite interesting.
Darren, the maker of "DARREN KITCHEN" just launched his computer television show tonight, the thing was a complete hit! I think maybe about 70,000 + viewers... that's pretty damn good for a debute show. I'm going to Norfolk tomorrow for a housewarming, but not housewarming party. Gonna get crunked! Oh no, the elephants have started flying again... gotta get some shut eye... adios!

I am spartacus

boy oh boy oh boy... this summer just keeps on going... it's already the middle of July!!! Holy moly! Last night my peeps and I went to this kids Darren's house, where we played a game for like 3 hours. It's a pretty cool game, it's called "six", you can check it out on his homepage... www.darrenkitchen.net
Then we started rhyming some shit... pretty entertaining, didn't come home til 5. Maddness.
The life in the spa is literally trying to kill me. I swear, those towels are starting to talk to me, complaining that they aren't folded good enough, the shower caps just don't want to go into the damn lockers, and the slippers are trying to bite me. Never a good sign, eh? Coaching is always fun though, that's what keeps me going. I had a life moving realization yesterday though... here it comes... da da da... WORK IS SO MUCH BETTER IF YOU'RE NOT TIRED.!!! The genious said it, yes she did! :) Today is hot as shit. I took the dogs out and i literally almost fell into a puddle of my own sweat that was forming in front of me. NASTY. ;) hehe. Aight my klakes, you know i LUV YA... my noregs... you know i LUV YA... Willy peeps, I'll see ya in the Chocolate Factory.
Ciao,

Theme Party and I´m Miss Yeller!

Takk fyrir pakkann Vala! I just got a birthday present today from my friend Vala.... muah! kiss kiss kiss! So, Williamsburg is still good... I coach every weekday morning, and then i usually work at the spa from 3-10 during the night... unless there is a swim meet. Um, it's all right... I guess I can just say that it's a job. The other night I had the "coaches" over for a grill evening, and then some of my friends came over, and the pictures from that are fuckin hallarious! I'll put them sometime on the internet if I get permission from Chelsea, who is in a lot of them. Chelsea is a girl I work with, goes to William and Mary... crazy girl!!! :) It's her birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA! She's having party tonight, a theme party where the theme is colors. Everyone is to be a color.... I'm gonna be yeller, Ashley red... we even bought little kids patio chairs to take along with us... INSANE. It'll be a crazy time. Will indeed take some pictures.
I have to go get ready for the spa... damn i love folding towels! ciao peeps!~

Hann fer ekki á klakann fyrr en í júlí held ég... karlinn er svoldið svektur, honum hlakkar náturlega svo ótrúlega mikið til að fara vinna í fiski á Suðureyri! (mmhmm). Ég fékk námslánið um daginn...

Righty-o...
So, i've started my second job, today will be my third day... i am a spa attendant at the Kingsmill Spa. I fold a lot of towels, show some wealthy people the lockerrooms and kiss ass :) I love it! Coaching is going well, everything is coming along. Mum flew to Austria yesterday... i hope she has ONE HELL OF A TIME THERE!!! So exciting.
So, last night a couple of us went over to our friend Harrison's house. We sat there, reminisced about middle school... fun for those of us who went to Berkeley... anywho... We decided that we were all going to go swimming, most everybody had trunks on, or some sort of undergarnment that could be used as a suit. I had just come from work, did not have a suit or appropriet undergarnment, and therefore sat on the pooldeck... until Justin and Harrison said they would dive in naked and swim 1 lap if I got in... so... i did a backflip into the pool, in my work clothes, and they then dove into the pool in their birthday suits... quite funny. So, that was the highlight of my day yesterday... since I worked from 3 till 10. I was exhausted afterwards.
The weather here is lovely, too hot though.... wish i was at the beach, maybe this week.
Righty-o i'm gonna go lay out,
xoxo

The Story of One Fish

All right... so back in the USA, have been for about two weeks, and no blog. Sorry about that... won't happen again. So, my current status is as follows, jobless, i'm a red head now, LOVE being at home, all coffeed up from Aroma's coffee and just hanging with my Williamsburg crew. For those who saw me in Iceland when I had just got my hair done, it has faded a lot. It's not as bright red as it was before (still red though, and lookin good)! My job hunt isn't going too well, the job people need to START CALLING ME! ugh!
So, last Friday I went to Richmond with a couple of kids, and I just have to tell this HALLARIOUS story. These two guys were arguing about some shit and they got to fighting. The fighting kept going on, until one of the guys realized that the other had brought his Chinese Fighting Fish into the house. So, this guy (who did not own the fish) takes the jar that the fish was in, runs down the street with it, AND EATS THE DAMN FISH! HE SWALLOWS IT WHOLE! THE DUDE'S FISH THAT HAD BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR 6 MONTHS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Damn, it is hallarious! The EX-owner of the fish wasn't too happy though, it was a part of his family member you know... i mean come on. :) (Ég er að segja ykkur það, hann var alveg brjálaður og bað gaurinn að kaupa annan gullfisk handa honum. Hann var alveg brjálaður! ótrúlega ótrúlega ótrúlega fyndið!!!)
All right, i'm going to go try to find a job... i tell ya, it's gonna be Hooters... haha!
BIÐ AÐ HEILSA ÖLLUM Á KLAKANUM!

Tuesday loves me...

Tuesday. What happens on Tuesdays...? Garfield didn´t like Mondays, 'just another manic Monday',
'Wednesday´s Child' that Emiliana Torrini sings so well
Desperate Houswifes are on Thursdays (who can forget that)
Freaky Friday, Thank God it´s Friday, TGIF, Friday football
One Saturday Morning, Date Night
Sunday- Church day!
Tuesday is the only day in the week left to make up the day for itself. It´s not given a serious name, it doesn´t have any pressure... it just does what it wants. That´s the beauty of it! SPLENDID!
So, the play that I saw on Thursday was about Nietsche. It was really interesting and made one think a lot. On Friday I got my hair done... I cannot tell you guys how it looks yet, not until I show my mom!!! She´ll flip! Then I went and had PIZZA at fabulous-e Stína´s house, always lovely. Later I met Krazy-K at Prikið, hung out for a lil. Yesterday Stína and I hung out for-almost-ever! It was grand! Then I met up with Vala, we went to París ;) and then trollied over the street to Brennslan! So Fun FUN FUN! Today I´m kinda hanging out... want to go do something... Friðdóra is HELLO GREAT!!!!
I swear, I am so greatful for her... really makes me feel at home... (watch me actually be a pain in the ass ;op) just kidding... MUAH!
Well, I am gonna hop in the shower and see where the city leads me... I GO "HOME" TOMORROW!!!! FINALLY!!!

The City Slickers of Reykjavík

Ó borg mín borg...
Reykjavík is the place to be at the moment! I got here around four... that´s when the plane flew in. The trip went well, the kid sitting next to me and I were playing hangman and making time fly! LITERALLY! But, since it´s only an hour flight, time didn´t matter too much. Olly, a friend of mine, was on the same flight. Talk talk talk about the exam and essay... we will never escape the sphere of the university.
Olly and I are going to go to the theater tonight, i´m not quite sure what we are about to see, but it has something to do with philosophy and Hitler´s inspiration. I hope it will be fun, if not... then at least it´s in all of good company. :) Magga Stína is also in RVK, i´m gonna have to meet up with her lata on too.
It was wierd leaving the appartment, since it looked different because of the things moved out and in... the feeling was wierd.
The city and I have a date tonight, so I will keep ya´ll posted how it goes ;)
bis dann...

Summer Vacation!!!

So, now all there's left to do is drink coffee... Yes, that's what I have been doing to relax, ride my bike to Cafe Karólína and just sit and drink coffee. Always a good way to relax. On Friday the legal department went out into the country and hung out there. It was quite splendid, games included running around with a chicken and egg, chickens shiting all over the place and eggs kept between breasts. Genious! Then we played guitar and sang, some louder than others, but all in all a perfect evening. People smelled bad (after having been in the barn- fjósinu), were crazy drunk and loud. I don´t believe it could have gotten any better... the future lawyers of Iceland. :) Taha! My excitement to go home keeps increasing and increasing... i´m about to burst!!! No longer am I a spinning top, now i´m just relaxed and feeling good. I just want to wish my classmates a GREAT SUMMER and hope they all enjoy not being in school! Ég veit náturlega að þið geri það :) Anna and Leah, I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET UP WITH YA´LL!!!! woohoo! I´m gonna stop now, toodles! xoxo Hildur Sólveig
