I don't have much to report. It seems like I have a ton of schoolwork all of a sudden, and I'm spending almost all my free time at the library trying to catch up. :s I'm still enjoying it here, though, even as the weather gets colder. Tjörnin, the pond in the city centre, froze over the other day. I spent a few moments watching the ducks land on the ice. It was funny because they skidded, flailing their legs wildly as they slid along the ice, before finally plopping into the water. I'm not a fan of the swans, though. They look elegant but they're so noisy and always gang up on the poor ducks.

For October, the bar Faktory is hosting free concerts at least once a week, so I've been going there on Wednesdays. I think they're hosting some Airwaves events there, too. Everyone is excited about Airwaves, even the people without tickets, because there will be so much happening in Reykjavik that week! I'm looking forward to it.

Tomorrow I'm leaving on a trip out east! Friday night we're driving to Kirkjubæjarklaustur (don't even try to figure out how to pronounce it). Then we'll be heading to the East Fjords and staying in Eskifjörður for a night. Finally, we'll go to Egilsstaðir and see the Hengifoss waterfall. I'm really looking forward to it! I've never been to that part of Iceland before and I expect it'll be very different from "cosmopolitan" Reykjavik.
