since Monday i have been attending a geological conference in Oslo. tomorrow is the last day of the conference.
it has been long days with many presentations, so maybe my brain is soon to be overloaded;0)
i met many friends from earlier days of my studies prior to my time in Greenland and to hear what they have been up to and what they are doing now.

christmas in norway

the weather has been excellent in norway, loads of snow and temperature between -10 and -20, a real winter wonder land;0)
i started the first day of the new year by being ill again! first it looked like the svineflue, but today it looks more like something normal. :0)
if i feel well tomorrow we will drive up to my cottage in the mountains and stay there for some days, skiing, relaxing and working on my master thesis...

the Icelandic krona through time

for many years the icelandic krona was stable between 9 and 12 krone but from the beginning of january 2008 the icelandic krona started to fall and the we got a huge fall with the bank collapse in the beginning of september 2008...
a good strengthening of the icelandic krona the first months of 2009 didn't continue and the krona fell to its lowest value!
from january 2008 the DKK and NOK krone have increased around 100%, causing foreign loans, food, supplies, goods, inflation and debths to sky rocket for the icelandic population...
Today my Anna arrived in oslo, it is -14 degrees and lots of snow;0)

for the last 24 hours it has been snowing a lot here in Oslo, Norway. we got more than 25 cm of snow. therefore my father and I had to go down to our house in sætre and remove loads of snow. after some hours the job was done and we could go back home and eat some christmas food...

Christmas vaccation
tomorrow morning i will fly to Norway to celebrate Christmas with my parents in Oslo.
Anna will join us on the 28th of December and stay until the 10th of January, while I will stay until the 16th of January, due to a Geological conference in Oslo (11th-13th).
it looks like i didn't have the svine flue, just an ordinary flue but anyway the tamiflu beat that down very well so i fell 80% now;0)
i wish you all a merry Christmas

the ankara-attack
most things went according to plan i denmark, well obama didn´t show up and had glögg with us and i got some kind of food poisoning at a restaurant called ankara, hence the anjara-attack. i guess price and qulity goes hand in hand;0)
i got back to reykjavik on sunday and anna picked me up at the airport, ever since i have been in school trying to do something about my master thesis, but it has ups and downs, mostly ups i would say;0)
i passed 6200 words and 19 pages, but probably there has to be thrown something away and added something, but its a fairly well start i would say.
yeasterday i got accepted at a glaciology course in svalbard, but its a bit uncertain if i will go. i mean it would be another great course and adventure, but if i have to finsih master in the end of may, 5 weeks in svalbard might not be the best idea....
yeasterday i got a cold, so i don´t hope its the svine flue, i don´t really have time for that now, it could be difficult to write...
tomorrow i´m getting the svine flue vaccine but it might be to late. i was supposed to get it 3 weeks ago but iceland ran out of vaccines, bad luck i say..
