I got a B :)

Thanks Sharon, I nearly got a heart attack from your little note. But congratulations with your grade. I completely paled up when I saw that they had posted the results for Celtic. I didn't even dare to check, because I was sure I wouldn't get the results I wanted. But I did it. I got a B. Be me veree happee noo.

Hæ hó jibbí jei og jibbíi jei ....

Það er kominn 17. júní. And June 17th has also gone. It was the 61 year anniversary of Iceland Independence and the weather was baking us. I took some photos but I haven't been able to put them on the web yet, because it has been crazy here. But it was amazing, went with my brother, sister-in-law and niece to buy her a balloon. She was determined to get a Spiderman balloon and because at first we didn't find one she ended up with a Tweety balloon as well. Mom and dad then invited us all out to eat at Ruby Tuesday and after that I hitched a ride with my bro to my friends house where we played couch-potatoes as well as Carcassone and Trivial Pursuit. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
Then it was just normal weekend for me, Saturday not much happened I just bought myself some stuff, but on Sunday I went shopping with my friend Margréti, but I couldn't find anything to buy even though I was shopping for a birthday present for my friend. She on the other hand managed to find something for her sister.
Yesterday, monday 20th of June, was a crazy day at work. I was working for more than 11 hours, and was exhausted after that but nooo, the day wasn't finished yet. Five minutes after I came home I called my friend who had been trying to reach me. And she wanted to know if I was interested in coming with them to the cinema to see Batman begins. A very good action and adventure film, not good if you are looking for something earthshattering. But better than the other four films that have been made about Batman.

Wedding and more

I went to a wedding yesterday of my friends Guðný and Róbert. The wedding photos should be on the website now. It was amazing, soo beautiful. The sorry state is that the battery finished in my camera before the evening was over so I will have to get some photos from others as well. The ceremony was beautiful and I was reunited with friends I hadn't seen in a very long time. We all had lots of fun (I think and hope). I wish the happy couple all the best!
But today was a little different from yesterday. Today would have been my grandfathers 88th birthday but he passed away last year. But mom and dad and I took flowers to his grave as well as his parents and also my grandfathers grandfather in another cemetery. We also too flowers to plant at my great-grandparents and uncles as well. It was a lot of work, planted 40 flowers in total, but it is nice now. We decided to tend my great-great-grandfathers grave as well, since my grandfather used to do it as well, and since we also knew where it was. His name was Magnús Egilsson and he was born in 1805 and was a stonemason. Pretty impressive history in the cemeteries, is my way of thinking.
Today is also my parents 45 year wedding anniversary so we went out for dinner tonight. It was sooo nice, the food is always good at Lauga-ás resturant. (Sharon, I reckomend it!!!)
Oh, and Sharon and my friends in foreign countries. I went to sleep after 2 o'clock last night and the sun was still shining on the horizon. Now it is completely bright 24 hours of the day, sooo nice. I just want to go out and take a long walk, the weather has also been very nice which makes it that much nicer to think that you can go and take a walk at 2 o'clock in the morning without having to dart between lampposts as quickly as possible or skulk around dark alleys.

Work tomorrow

OOO, sounds fun. Well it does, I think, I hope they haven't changed everything from when I was there last time. That's what I am most afraid off. Now I'll be the one standing in the middle of nowhere and picking my nose wondering where I am and everyone around me laughing at the confused idiot. I am really looking forward to seeing my buddies again. Although some are probably all ready on vacation for the summer.
I bought a gift for my friends wedding on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing them all again. Have no idea who will be there, if there are anyone that I know. I sort of feel like I should get a date hired like in the Wedding Date movie, but at the moment I am not that desperate.... well, more like beyond that. Who knows, maybe I can bribe someone cute. But I am still looking forward to it.

For my buddies in Scotland;
The weather here has been quite wet but a blessing because it has been a dry spell here. But around weekend it should clear up and be nice and sunny. Right now my "mocking-bird" is laughing at me outside my window, it is nice to hear him again. It is rather cloudy so it is quite dark tonight although technically speaking it is still light.
My niece has been wonderful, all the time it is just, Elin, Elin, Elin all through the day. It is sooo wonderful to be able to hold her again and cuddle her.

I'm home :)

Vow, this has been an incredible day! I woke up at 7 o'clock and was boarding the plane just after 11 o'clock. I landed in Iceland at half past one (or twelve in Iceland). My whole family was there to greet me and my wee niece came flying into my arms. It was so beautiful. Mom and dad, bro and sis-in-law, it was great. Shortly after we came home and I had unloaded most of my stuff from the suitcases we went to my uncle's place, because it was his birthday on Friday and today it was Sjómannadagurinn and it is quite fitting for him to have a small birthdaybash today because he was born on Sjómannadag. Now I am sitting at my brothers computer at his place because we were invited for dinner. It really has been a great day, but I am really very worn out now, I almost fell asleep in the car over here and it is only about five minute drive from our place. IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME!!!

FINISHEDFINISHEDFINISHEDFINISHEDFINISHED

Just making a statement, I have finished my exams! Such a relief. I think my brain went dead afterwards. Even though we went to Jims bar I did not have anything but Coke but in a short while I was babbling. I think it was just oxygen gathering in my brain after I let out all the Gaelic and nothing was coming in to fill in the gaps. No more studying for a while. When I came home I had my dinner and afterwards while I was tidying my room and going through my junkyard I had one of those Breezers and I don't think that helped, I think for the first time I actually got drunk. Amazingly I didn't need very much yesterday to get drunk, first oxygen and then only 5% and I was seeing everything in very nice rainbow-y colours.
This is the last day in Glasgow and tomorrow morning I leave for home.
Or as the Glaswegian would say:

My heid is deid and Eim goin' heim!

Day after tomorrow

I am coming home the day after tomorrow. The last exam is today, and I have been hammering gaelic into my head while waiting for the washing machines to finish. I will be meeting Claire at the Food Factory at the QM around noon when she arrives in Glasgow and then we will probably go to Jim's Bar after the exam. I don't think I will get out of that. But why would I want to, it is my last exam and I deserve to enjoy myself afterwards after all this.
Maybe I will write again before I go home, hei, wait a minute, of course I will, this has absolutely been my salvatio during the exams. I would have gone nuts or driven my friend Margréti nuts with my continuous e-mails. Poor girl would never be able to finish anything unless she would learn to ignore me. But she would never do that. Noooo.

Three Down - One to Go

Only one more exam and I am free. Can't wait til I get to take my first breath of free air tomorrow. I have to wait until 4:30 do that, darn it. But that is what I am most waiting for right now if we are looking at things in a chronological order - to breath. Then I am most looking forward to going home. Yes, I realise that anyone that has been reading my posts in the last days is fully aware that I am going home, but I won't stop until I am Home so chill.
Todays exam went well (I think) won't really know until I get the results but it is definitely not a fail. Finished in under an hour and had a half hour to spare to think of new things. But alas, my brain was dead and on a more worrying note it hasn't come back alive. I think I am going to have to jumpstart it so I can do some Gaelic work. Brain, listen: "You only have one more day of work and then you can switch off until Sunday, deal!" OO, I felt it move so I better get to work.

So much to do, so little time left

Yess, I am coming home on Sunday. Loooking sooo much for coming home I am not even thinking about the exams that are left. Don't know if that is a good thing (as in I am not getting stressed about them) or if it is a bad thing (as in I think I know everything ... well, I do but I am not sure the teachers agree).
Tonight is the last episode of Desperate Houswifes, very very lucky to see it. I would have gone nuts if I was missing it, way too exciting. Saw a wee sneak peak last night before I went to bed, úúúú.
Finally finished most of my shopping, last minute shopping will take place on Saturday and on the airport on my way HOME.
Two more exams and I am finished for the time being. Then a time of praying and hoping comes, where I wait for the results with dread and sort of "I-don't-really-give-a-"#$%&" attitude towards all this, while secretly gnawing my nails to the quick. EEEEEwweewww. Please be gentle Uni.
