Yesterday while looking for pictures of me & my sister together I stumbled upon so many random pictures, I have no clue why I saved them.

hahaha oh lennon! 

A shower of 27 minutes... 

25 minutes = reflections & deep thoughts about the meaning of life & the universe

2 minutes = actually cleaning yourself 

oh dear italy!

hahahahahhaah!!!

if you're happy & you know it..... jump on your bed

You know how when your in a really good mood, you jump in your bed, jump out of bed and around the apartment dancing...

I do that all the time, I don't leave my bed unless it's in a jump.

ironically enough, jumping in bed has now left me stuck in bed :(

last night I was jumping in bed, jumped out of it, like I do every day, except this time I fall, next thing I know mom was standing over be because I had been screaming so loudly it woke her up. I spent the night in the emergency room. I had torn the muscle in my inner thigh badly... I couldn't stop thinking about Joey in friends that time he broke his arm jumping on his bed. Thank god I didn't have to give the doctor any explanation as to what I was doing when I fell.

I am only able to see the funny side of this now, after voltaren cooling cream, ridiculously strong pills from the doctor & elevation of the leg. I can't really feel it but as soon as I do something I get reminded.

Only 3 blogs ago (if I remember correctly) I was just talking about how much fun it is to jump in your bed. I guess that was the universes way to give me a push to grow the hell up haha!

Stooooorm

horrible weather

I just had to share this link with you. It's funny as hell, I laughed so much I had to pause it a couple of times so I wouldn't pee myself. I'm not exaggerating! 

The story behind this is that there has been horrible weather in Iceland, especially last weekend when the storm Sandy had just hit NY. The wind in NY went up to 128km/h while ours was 126km/h but occasionally going higher. Of course the altitude in NY is way lower than in Iceland so they had flooding and houses crumbling like packs of oreo's.

In Iceland however, we have too much pride to let weather stop us with this whole "we're vikings we can stand any type of weather" when actually they should have just had a national day off and not risking everyone getting hurt by going out into the storm.. the police emergency line got calls about tasks, roofs flying off houses, every minute for some hours which is insane considering Iceland only has 300.000 people. 

The schools didn't cancel classes until in the after noon, my friends school didn't give up until windows were being broken by flying objects and over 3 teachers had to go to the hospital after getting hurt from literally flying and crashing badly. You can only imagine having seen the video! haha 

& while all this is going on where is Katrín?? I'm driving this road... Sæbraut because my school refused to postpone a test that values 20% of my final grade. They didn't see enough of a reason to postpone the test.. Excuse me, a 10 meter long RV disappeared and was found far away smashed into pieces and you don't see reason enough to not risk 350 students wandering around since most of them don't have cars?

So anyway I had to drive for one hour to get to Reykjavík where I took the stupid test, which I by the way could in no way focus on since a bicycle literally flew past the window during the exam! But since I was already there I could just as well go to work too.  

Domino's made their home delivery time longer, there was the "right side" rule in many crossroads because the power was off the stop lights, and some places put a sign in the window to walk in another door because this one couldn't handle the wind. Just getting from my car and 150 meters into the school I needed help because I was taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back, thank god some guy came to the rescue... On my way out I just kept sitting down and holding on to flagpoles to catch my breath because it was such a struggle, you can't imagine. 

then this happened.. fml

Oh and then a pizza flew into my window, never thought I'd use the window cleaners to get pizza off my car window! 

thoughtful boss

hahahah best present ever!! 

the story behind it ; My mom lives about 30 min from the capital and my boss thinks everyone that lives there is weird. He says there must be some explanation and chooses to blame it on the water. He has always asked me... sorry, begged me to take with me some fresh Reykjavík water with me, and enough so I won't catch the weirdness in the water where my mom lives.. Now for my birthday he bought a 5 liter water tank for me so whenever I'm away from Reykjavík I have a back-up stash of water to drink 

P=13?

Hahahaha silly americans, the number 13 is an unlucky number so let's just skip it in the elevator! 

the really expensive beer

In the last weeks I have completely rediscovered the meaning of the word busy. Before when I said I was busy I had no clue what I was saying haha! 

Saturday and Sunday I managed to work 20 hours straight, 10 hour break and then work again 8 hours. No wonder waking up this morning was so difficult! 

So one funny story from this week. On thursday at work I was selling this mexican guy a beer, it had been a little busy and someone had put 3333 into the register. So when I go to charge for the beer I accidentally charge him for 3333 beers. I noticed it while swiping the card and had a mini heart attack but thought, "oh surely it will be declined, nobody has so much money laying around on their card." Oh no, the receipt came out and the guy had been charged 2.860.000 kronur, or 23 thousand dollars... why the hell would you have more than 23 thousand dollars on your card anyways? 

My boss then spent half an hour calling the banks emergency number to cancel the transaction. It finally all got fixed and I'm so happy this happened with this specific costumer, not someone uptight or in a bad mood! haha For the rest of the weekend I got people coming up to me that had heard about it from around the hostel going "Hey are you the girl that charges mexicans 23 thousand for a beer?" or hesitating while giving me their card going "I'm not mexican so don't overcharge me... and I want to see the receipt"

Another funny thing about this was that only 2 hours before I had been taking to my boss telling him this story about a woman I was working with this summer that had charged someone 75.000krónur for a coke. It was a hilarious story until I had to go to my boss later that evening explaining "You remember that woman I told you about before? yeah that just happened to me too, only, it wasn't a coke it was a beer and it wasn't 75 thousand, it was 2 million and 860 thousand" You can only imagine the look on his face hahah! 

Dear handsome men. could you please just skip becoming a teacher. leave that up to the old bold men. Nobody's focusing on what your saying when you look like ezra fitz.
youre not doing anyone a favour

brabra

I always wake up so I only have 10 minutes go get myself ready...

This morning was no exception I hurried to work and after only a few minutes working I felt a little too free...

no wonder, I forgot to put on a bra! 

I got away with being without it all day... then at 5 o'clock I went to check on my phone, and what do I find in my purse next to it? that's right! my bra! 

Where's my mind at?

If you find any bra's laying around, let me know, it's probably mine. It appears I just leave them wherever haha

skills

The guys showing some mad dance & singing skills

Don't kill me

Now everyone is out drinking since this is the most party weekend in Iceland of the whole year. Me? I'm sitting in bed with a cookie watching "when harry met sally" & honestly wouldn't wanna trade. 

I'm also terribly afraid of the dark & since I'm living alone in this big apartment I run between rooms and always expect someone to be standing behind me when I turn around, you know like always in the horror movies. I'm almost 20 years old, can anyone please teach me to grow up?

camel problems

You know how some stores won’t allow camels so you have to tie them to the streetlight outside?… annoying right? hahaha!
