well, you haven't exactly been stayin put either...but you're right, iceland is crazy expensive--I was really lucky that my flight there was really just a 3 week layover on the way back from Finland. Are you in Massachusetts?
We had a council member from last year who was sort of Icelandic - that is, here family is from Iceland, but her father worked for the UN, so she never spent more than a few years in any given country. She has no discernible accent - is this an Iceland thing or just her?
I think the no discernible accent thing might be pretty common in Iceland--they're just great at English, everybody knows it, and with the amount of tourism they've probably all grown up in almost an immersion setting....don't know for sure though. I was thinking of heading down to Massachusetts and seeing you both actually--just how busy are you Dylan?
My schedule varies wildly. In theory, I'm relatively unbusy (new word!) - I have only 3 classes, one of which is a dance class with almost no homework. That said, council takes up at least as much time as any class. The other factor is papers - there are some periods when I just have some reading and things are pretty good, and there are others when I have multiple papers due at the same time and I get busy. I should definitely be able to make time for you, though - just let me know in advance when you're coming so I can clear up the schedule (do work early or whatever).
Я тебе так завидаю! Я также убегала от патрулей на границе с Монголие. Если тебе будет надо когда-нибудь пару дней провести в Москве по пути куда-нибудь то я легко могу тебе наити место у родственников. Также в новосибирске у меня есть дяди и бабушки которые с удавольствием тебе разрешат у себя остановиться. -наташа
К счастью, нам никогда небыло надо убегать от патрулей (но несколько раз мы видели вертолеты на небе которые может быть нас искали, и один раз милиционер нас ругал). Так, у тебя было хорошое время в России этим летом? И как идет ХС бег (не знаю ровно как сказать, я спишу сейчас, наверное делаю много ошибок) этим сезоном? Мне трудно верить что ты уже в последном курсе в школе! О каких университетах ты думаешь? (извените, обязательно все этот вопрос спросат).... Ну, спасибо, может быть однажды я смогу ненадолго жить у твоей семьи, но не знаю когда я смогу вернуться б Россию, (или в Сиэтл)....может быть мы будем вместе катаемся на лыжах этой зимой. пока, ian
Cool, my mom is going to come out here sometime late October and I thought maybe we could go say hi to you together, I'll let you know when the dates would be. (I'm almost never 'unbusy' too though, unfortunately). As for Russian, you just click the Russian flag under the light switch and then type what it sounds like with English letters, and it seems to work out.
