School starts this week! As nice as it would be to pretend I'm on vacation for a year, I am gonna have to do some work. I'm not really sure what classes I'm in because the university's website isn't very helpful, but I think I know what classes to show up to this week. It looks like I'll be taking three politics classes, plus one Icelandic class. Seems pretty good to me. The challenge now is finding where the classrooms are!

Yesterday I went for an adventure with some people I met on Friday. We walked to the Grótta lighthouse on a cape west of Reykjavik. It turned out to be a pretty long walk (almost two hours), but it was a really nice spot, and the weather was fantastic yesterday by Icelandic standards. When we decided to leave the cape, we saw that the path we had taken to get there was almost completely submerged under water! Apparently the tide was coming in and we hadn't noticed. We escaped by jumping from rock to rock and made it safely to the mainland. After that we wandered downtown for some pizza and drinks. It was an excellent day. I'm looking forward to more adventures!
