6 months anniversary

so in 2 days it will be six months since I took off from Warsaw Fryderyk Chopin Airport. on Wednesday it was 25 weeks of my stay in Akureyri.
blink of an eye that's how fast it passed.
much have happened, true. but still! it's hard to believe.

Monday exams and King's Cup (drinking card game every Monday evening). Easter break and gipsy trip around Iceland.
May with finals and June with study tour.
beautiful summer weather was here for two weeks only. temperatures up to 20 degrees!! and I got tanned :)
new semester has started on June 15. Biofuels & Bioenergy Concentration. only 5 people in the group, mainly Icelandic professors. and my favourite biochemistry.

it's green everywhere, weather is grey, wind's chilly. and night is back. for few weeks outside was simply amazing. that's sun from June 22 at 01:15 am. setting!!



but now days is getting shorter by 10 minutes every day. soon it will get dark for 20h a day. uh...

some camping trips.



Fish Day 08.08.09 - great festive with free well prepared fish, music, camping, fireworks and good weather!!! and great company (only my camera broke down ;( )

it's great to be here. only sometimes I cry myself to sleep. incomparably less...

Iceland

So I came to Iceland.

For a change.

February 5th I've received an e-mail, actually it was Kubiku who brought my attention to it. our college from ESN. that he's just finishing one year intensive programme in Renewable Energy Science, that new year has started but there are still few places left. so it's just last minute call, maybe somebody wants to go study in Iceland.
5 days later I spoke with the coordinator that came to Warsaw, great coincidence. and on Friday morning, Feb 12, I was accepted and the sooner the better I come to Akureyri.

tomorrow will be 4 weeks since I left from Warsaw.

time is passing fast, my memory is not so bright any more. it is not bad idea then, to keep the track of what happened. nothing fancy, just few lines.

so first exam behind me. today in the morning. two days of studying to a subject that was thought intensively for 3 weeks. two big projects during it. one week each. I was so tired.

new subject from today.
cake, biking 30mins trip. silly British film.

and great people. best.

and landscapes. WOW. white, snowy, mountainous... heaven.
