I've had visitors from Iceland here with me since Thursday (mostly) and it has been very enjoyable. We've had food from all over the world, Edda Lára brought with her Appelsín (Icelandic orange soda) which my kids really liked, I only got one sip :( so if anyone is about to send me a parcel I'd like more Appelsín and Gotti cheese. Scots are strange in the sense that they are obsessed with cheddar which is not good for cutting with a real Icelandic cheesecutter and just doesn't taste as well as Gouda. Or at least that is what my kids think, being lactose intolerant makes me stay away from dairy although I do fall for the temptation of tea and toast once in a while (going off track here sorry)...

Not much has been done outside of the home however we've really enjoyed being together and we've been playing cards and on Saturday we bought two puzzles so there have been sessions in that. We've taken turns on sitting at it and it reminds me of my childhood. It's my brain aerobics.

Well, well, I finally got my marks back for all the hard work I put in in January and I am quite satisfied. Of course there is deep down always the nagging feeling that I could have done better and if only this and that but the past is the past and this is what I reaped and I'll just have to work harder for the next few months if my aim is to top these marks.
Here they come: Digital Media = P2 (equivalent to about 5,5 - 5,9 in Iceland which can't be compared though because here teachers don't give marks over 75 unless it's outstanding work or so I'm told). In this one I got mostly good comments on my designs and stuff but had to write an essay on subject very uninteresting to me and I just handed in crap and got crap for it as well. But overall very satisfied with this.
Softwarde Development I = P4. Better than I expected in many ways but still I did work hard on it although I didn't manage to finish the whole thing since I ran out of time (and panicked at the last minute) but it's quite a good pass and is roughly 6,5-6,9. BTW this is Java programming and I'm doing Software Development II now and I'm actually quite excited about that.

Today I was told that I've not updated my page in a long time so I've decided to do so now.
My sister and her two sons stayed with us for 6 days and were supposed to fly to Iceland yesterday but due to engine failure they had to spend 12 hours at the airport until they were moved to the Holiday-Inn hotel in Glasgow and then FINALLY flew home this morning.
It was wonderful to have them - Lovyaguys.

I've been getting to know about all my coursework recently and wow do I have an interesting term ahead of me. All sound great and I can't wait to get busy with it. Igor, my Brazilian friend, came this afternoon and helped me fix my computer and finally we've been able to get rid of my Master Boot Record virus. Yay, thanks Igor. This blog is written in English on your behalf actually :) I might continue doing that since most of my readers back home will be able to read it but this way I'll expand my reader group to my friends that are Non-Icelanders.
