Friday the 13th

This day for a long time has been something of a mystery to me.

People always talk about how unlucky a day it is.

However, I was born on a Friday the 13th. On this "unlucky" day you were all blessed with my presence from then onward.

Little did you know how lucky you all actually were on that Friday, July 13th.

Hey everyone,

Hope your Friday's weren't too unlucky.

Peace,

Josh

!!!!!!!! 31 Days Until I leave for Christmas !!!!!!!!!!

Sunnudagur

Hey Everybody,

Just before we start so that you know Sunnudagur is Sunday.

I have been leanring some fun icelandic word and saying that I am going to try out on all of you when I get home.

I am coming home on the 12th of December I cant wait. I will be home until the 2nd of January but we are going to Cuba from the 22-29th of December. I cant wait for that either. I cant wait for sun, swimming and laying on the beach. I want to do excursions and stuff to but we just dont get any sun here in Iceland so it will be great just to get sun. I joke with people that im going to come back after christmas break and be really really dark with a tan...this however is not a joke I will be so dark people will not recognize me haha.

This weekend in Isafjordur was kind of a winter festival. There were people selling things in all the stores and streets. There was also people singing in the streets and the stores and there was even a dance troupe that was dancing to michael jackson throughout the streets. I was saddened in that there was supposed to be Icelandic treats and te and kaffi but we could not find it anywhere.

Oh well, Im going to be really productive today that is my promise to myself....after a few episodes of family guy. ;)

Talk to you all again soon,

Josh

Hello Everyone!

Hello,

Sorry I have not been good at posting to this blog. I will try and be better. Our last course was just a mess so I had all that I could do to deal with that.

It is now dark here when I get up at 8, I walk to school in the dark, and then it is dark again by 4 or 5 in the afternoon. That makes me sad.

I am really looking forward to going south at Christmas. We are booking the resort tonight. YAY!!! Warm weather, sun, and swimming.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at home! Let do lots of fun things!

I'll post again soon!

Peace,

Josh

Christmas!

Its only 53 days until I am back in North America, 54 days until I am back in Canada, Nova Scotia, and Kentville! I cant wait!

Great Time in N. Ireland!

Hey Everyone,

I have not been very good about posting to this blog recently. Sorry for that.

I just got back from Ireland and Northern Ireland - I got to see two countries but not many people think of it like that.

I had a great time and saw lots of stuff. I saw the Giants Causeway, two castles, some amazing beaches that made me almost want to go in swimming. I saw Belfast, which was beautiful lots of shops, and Dublin which was a great city I saw both the beautiful and the sketchy parts.

I am back in Iceland now. I had to stay at a hostel last night because the flight into Keflavik did not get in in time for me to get that last flight to Isafjordur. So after a crap sleep last night I am sitting here at the domestic airport, one which I have spent way too much time in i might add, waiting for my delayed flight to Isafjordur. Once there I am going to have a quick shower, as I feel like garbage after flying all day, and go to school which I am missing because the flight is delayed.

All in all it was a marvelous vacation and I got to see lots more than I even thought I would!

Thanks Mick, Kathy, and Jake!

I have TONS (literally 1000) of pictures and I will post them once I get a chance.

Peace,

Josh
