London Calling

Yup, I'm in London, believe it or not.....
 
I arrived back to Iceland from Vienna late on Thursday where I had been for a week following the Seltjarnarnes wind orchestra around (a looong story).
 
On Friday night me and my friend Brynja went out to dinner and than back to my place where we got ready for a night on the town while drinking wine and a few gin and tonics.  early in my drunken state I decided to call Laura and see how she was doing.   She was havng fun at working on a lab on the fifth floor of McArthur...no better way to spend a Friday night haha.
 
We met some friends down town and went to a few bars/clubs and danced the skin off our feet, literally. 
At around 2:30 a.m. Brynja looked like a zombie and started to bump into people on the dance floor so we got her a cab and sent her home and then danced some more...despite crammed toes and bleeding heels ;o)
 
We then ended the night by having a hot dog in the famous hot dog stand down town....a favorite "Restaurant" of Metallica when they visited Iceland in June. Then I took a cab home to my lovely bed and totally overslept the morning after. My parents were going to pick me up at 1 p.m. to drive to the airport and at 12:15 p.m. I still hadn't started to pack my suitcase!
 
Anyway, I'll be in London till Thursday.....funfunfun :o)

About time...

I update this page.

Well, let's see since the last post Greece has won the EURO soccer cup, Doddi became 24 years old, my sister 30 and the Icelandic prime minister went to Washington to kiss Bush's ass.

Tomorrow I'm going to Vienna where I'll stay for a week and next Saturday, two days after I come back from Vienna I'm going to London. Funfunfun. Can't wait to be a tourist with a fanny pack....hahaha....wouldn't be seen dead wearing a fanny pack.

Looks like me and Doddi will be expecting quite a few visits to Miami this fall. A friend of ours has been accepted to MIT and they are sending him to Miami to go to some international orientation at Miami Dade! Don't ask me why.

I remember when I had my international orientation at UM..it was fun....no I'm sorry, it was unbelievably boring. They were supposed to give us some advice of how to adapt to life in the U.S.....like:

"In America it's not uncommon for people to shower every day"

Yup, that advice has gotten me through some tough times.

Anyway, then another friend of ours is coming for almost two months because he's training to be a pilot and it's much cheaper for him to fly for 65 hours in Miami than here.

AND, my parents are probably coming for my graduation in December.

Anyway...better do something useful now...like buy euros. If I find a netcafé in Vienna I'll keep you posted.
