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

Welcome to college?

In highschool I took many psychlogy classes, general, child, criminal, happiness, biological and more... Each class that I took was one semester, 18 weeks, taught 4 hours a week.

Now? I got one HUGE ass book devided into 18 chapters. One chapter is general, One criminal, one biological... You see where Im going. Each chapter is taught 1 hour. So basically what Im now learning in one hour (have 3-4 days to finish it on my own)is equaly much as I did in 72 before!! And Im telling you its not any shorter or easier, on the contrary, its not even in icelandic!

You miss one class and shooo everyone is 100 pages ahead of you which means you then have 4 days to finish 200 pages... Throw in 2 jobs and any social life and boom you have the perfect recipe for depression. But hey at least the end Ill have the ability to fix depression hahaha

Ive been in the reading room now for 8 hours and off to my second job :( I better have a kick ass nice vacation in 12 weeks in a warm cozy and exciting place

worlds

Some pictures from the worlds !

& 1,2,3 start!!

It's so much fun taking pictures of this sport. They're always doing some super dramatic move that looks great on a picture. 

Insane jump, and the fall would have been soo far! guess that's why he feels the need to do that ridiculous face hahahaha! 

aaaah why would they make the fall so far down?!

Trials WM 2012.

Nice work of art there, but it made the wood lodge thinner & therefore harder to ride on... good thinking there

It's amazing to see these guys ride, it's like the bike is an extra limb missing from their body & the bikes work with them in an unbelievable way. There's a lot of falling and getting cuts from the pedals which I'm actually not a big fan of. On several occasions Kaye (Nate's mom) & I were about to have a heart attack when he'd come close to falling.

I'm so sorry for the embarrassment Nathan but I just have to post this video. I so luckily caught on tape when he fell in a rather stupid slow-motion way, I also got a lot of videos where he got through everything perfectly, but where's the fun in them?? 

hahahahah!! 

trip home

Finally after a 16 hour trip I have arrived at home. I'm tired and I want to go back to Austria! 

The last week has been wonderful in every way. I'm literally going from an Austrian fairy tale one day back to freezing Iceland & University the next day! First day of school is tomorrow since I've been away the last week. Now I better stack up with coffee and pull my shit together if I'm going to ace this semester. 

I swear to got I've gained like 5kg in the past week. If I didn't know any better I'd think Nate's dad produced mozart balls, his mom always had a sandwich ready and nate's mission in life is having his mouth full at all times!

The diet starts tomorrow... or you know, not an actual diet. More like a trying to go more towards the fruit section. I have a personal trainer, that I have not been using at all. Just got an email from him reminding me that you don't get fit unless you do something. jeez rub it in...

Now I've been going through some pictures from the trip and can't believe how few photo's I have. I literally have no pictures of myself from the trip haha! 

here are some pictures from the way home though...

Train station in Innsbruck

This really cute couple that was all mushy mushy for the whole 5 hours of the train ride. I wanted to spit on them. They were too happy and I was too alone hahaha! nono of course I was happy for them, maybe like 90% happy 10% jealous. 

wow think of actually living there. I could actually easily imagine having a holiday house in a place like this. So peaceful ! I spent hours looking out the window, you really see a lot of the country travelling by train.

London stansted here I come 

When is Starbucks ever going to come to Iceland? Probably good they're not here, I'd go broke from their mozzarella & pomodoro sandwich and frappuccino. mmmmmm! 

Sunset In London 

hahahahaha I love those head thingy's in the wow planes.

"Hi, I am your seat... nice to meet you, pleasure to have you sit on me"

Anyways, big day tomorrow. I better get some rest. I'll work on uploading those pictures asap. Goodnight! 

Germany...again

Heey!

So now we´re in Germany again! We´re at this Sport hotel which is perfect for Nathan, we had been here 5 minutes and he had already found a mountain bike and gone up in the mountains.

Yesterday we took a train for 2 hours, arrived in Innsbruck and were going to go bungy jumping. Turns out they had closed like 10 minutes earlier or something so we had gone all that way for nothing! We then took the train back, watched the finals of the 26" and went back to the Hotel.

The hotel I was staying at was about 15km away from Saalfelden, very discrete location and soo incredibly cozy, everything was made out of wood, alps on both sides and so traditional. I got back to the hotel right after midnight and everything was locked up! .. I knocked, no answer, tried the extra key and even got Nathan to try it because I thought I was just being weak, still didn´t work and I finally walked around the hotel trying to find an open door. 

I was on the edge of desperation when I climbed up to the balcony of the room and was attempting to breaking in to my own hotel room! of course that didn´t work... Checking for the last time if I´d be able to open one of the doors I pressed it and swooosh, it was open all along! Half an hour wasted trying to break into a hotel! So typical getting into situations like this. Next time I´ll remember to try pushing every door before I start climbing balconies! 

Nathans back so we're gonna go out to eat with his parents now... I'm going home tomorrow so I'll post pictures and more then

Eagles nest

The last days have been amazing. 

Monday all went pretty fast in salzburg, tuesday and wednsday my friend nathan was competing in the world championship in trials. He already won #1 in australia and was therefore reprisenting them in the worlds. Only 10 minutes before it all started he was warming up, fell and broke his break, his dad then had to rush to get another break to switch. It was all very stressfull since he also gets judged on time... He lost at least half an hour but It all went well though and he ended up 14th in the world! Wohho, next year it's held in south africa and I believe he will do even better then!

Yesterday we then drove to germany and up into the mountains to see Hitlers summer house, where him and all his other disgusting friends met up and planned their unhuman actions. You could see all these pictures and history of what he did and how he did it, being in the same elevator as he once was and sitting exactly where he was sitting when he was deciding to torture all these people is sickening!

Such a beautiful place, ruined because of this horrible man! Thinking how recently this all happened is so scary. 

Last night we went to watch the top riders compete for first place. I was actually surprised how fast I got into this, I had imagined walking around town doing some late night shopping while nate would be watching that, but oh no I was right there so excited what was going to happen next. It's a really easy sport to watch, you get brakes inbetween and unalike football, basketball and handball you actually understand when somebody gets a point and know if its unfair or not. You dont just stand there and get distracted by the smallest things and clap when everybody else claps... Hahaha

Today is going to be soo much fun, nathan is riding to get rid of that ridiculous amount of energy he woke up with so I'm going to go out for a walk between the alps... Then were gonna have lunch and catch a train to innsbruck where we'll (hopefully) go bungee jumping of europbrucken. That is if I dont change my mind on the way or if some stupid thing doesnt happen that wont allow us to go!

Crossing my fingers that I won't die! :D 

Germania

Not bad waking up to this view! mmm had the best day ever yesterday, I'll put pictures later :) off to germany now !!

Österreich

Finally finally! Im in austria.

You know me, of course nothing went smoothly... 

8 hours before I left I started feeling funny and peeing blood (sorry for the brutal honesty haha). I just thought like oh this is just perfect now I'll go to the doctor and he'll tell me I have a weird disease that won't allow me to fly, it 'only' turned out to be a kidney infection. 

I got some antibiotics, packed and went to the airport... Forgetting the medicine at home so poor mom had to rush back home and get it. 

At the airport I then had my drinking bottle and while waiting in some line I was playing with it, screwing the lid on and off, you know fun stuff... At some point I got distracted while the lid was off, completely forgot I had taken it off and then proceeded with pouring my full water bottle all over my chest! At least I amused the people around me. This was When I was just about to go on a 8 hour long trip! 

When I finally get to austria I was supposed to be picked up, but then I get a call saying that they went to lienz instead of linz,, they had driven 4 hours in the wrong direction! 

We finally found each other though and went out to eat pizza and some austrian apfel something or another. Then I had forgotten the name of my hotel so we couldn't find that so I got to crash on the couch of the world championship team! Not bad huhh hahaha

Now I'm safe and sound finally in my own hotel room in the cutest little town between the alps in austria. Everything is so beautiful, trees all over and houses made from wood. 

Tomorrow I'm going to watch the world championship in mountain biking trials, never done that before :D then I'll find something fun to do, saalfelden has a lot to offer! I'll probably get lost and end up living with cows in the alps. 

un'altro viaggio

In the last 4 days I have slept 11 hours thank you very much! Now I have 17 hours until I'm going to catch my flight and I still have left working for 10 hours & sleeping & packing!

I need 34 hours in my day! :( 

There has also been a slight change of plans. 

I'm not going to London anymore... or I am, but I'm catching a connection flight as soon as I get there to go to Austria. I got really lucky with the tickets and found a cheap one that leaves from London 3 hours after I arrive there. Why not?

Ok. I'm a complete freak. I have a check list for packing in my room. It works though, it saves me about 2 hours of running around like a headless chicken!

I'm only taking that brown bag with me because if I want to check in a bag it costs more than the flight ticket and I don't really need more. The limitations of liquids however then make life a bit difficult but I have it all figured out!

I have a box in my room with all "this-type-of-stuff". little bag for documents & tickets. Mini shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitize & nail polish. Then I also have my dry shampoo, which I love! It's a travel version so it's smaller and it's so comfy only having to clean your hair once a week while travelling and using dry shampoo the days in between. 

then you of course can't forget the brennivin bottle there hahaha! good for if you want to get drunk on a long bus ride or something

My two favorite mini travel things... 

1. This great invention for perfume!

You take what ever perfume you want to be in the bottle and simply just spray into the part that's turning up on the picture. Then you just close it up and you have I think 120 sprays before it's finished. Also nice to have in your purse :D

Such a weight saver!

2. This wonderful scale to weigh your bag

You just take the strips (you can see them on the second picture) and click them around the handles of the bag. Then you just turn the scale on and lift your bag up and it gives you a precise number of how heavy your bag is both in lb & kg. The scale itself is I'd guess less than 200 gr and is really worth squeezing in your bag. Even when your at home you can't really check your baggage weight because the home scales aren't made for it. Can save you heaps of money.

Now I have a lunch date with Sunna. We're gonna track down the fattest, greasiest most hang-over food we can find and eat it all! 

of monsters and men

First time I was going to buy an album instead of downloading it.

Excuse me? Of monsters and men is not available in the Icelandic store? haha!

So I went to the store and bought the CD itself. 

I've had around 8 friends abroad sending me messages telling me that they either went to a concert with them or heard them in the radio and absolutely love them. They certainly raise up my national pride! 

I didn't realize that they had made this many songs but my favorites are 

• Dirty paws ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgn8Eoh9aSY )
• Love love love ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj5JO9j5jiI )
• Six weeks (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBtnnZX_jDU )
• Little talks ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6BC_uQEEmM )

Check them out, you really won't regret it! I promise! 

oh, btw... Today I was in such a hurry I forgot to eat before I went to work so after I had driven all the way to Reykjavík I stop by in a store to buy something also to have for the night since I was going to be working 12 hours straight. On the way to the shop I walk past a homeless man that asks me if I have any money, so I empty my purse to him giving him everything I had. He was soo happy and I just went on my way. After I had found everything I wanted in the store I realize I had forgotten my credit card at home and the money I gave the man was way more than enough to pay for everything! I then worked 12 hours with only a snickers my darling co-bartender had with him and orange juice... Am I misunderstanding or isn't karma supposed to work the other way around?? hahaha
