crack open a beer and smile
So this morning I had my exam for my Cultural Heritage class. I think that was one of the first times I had an exam and was not stressed or worried about. I think it went really well. Wrote the essay part on the cultural heritage of Elmira, a hybridity of rural and urban, clinging onto the farmer/Mennonite identity but most inhabitants work in the cities, making Elmira just another suburb. So now that this exam is over I am free, for a while. This calls for celebration!
So tonight Leif and I will concoct some kind of drink. I have suggested Apple-Brenivin Smoothie (Brenivin being the Icelandic Schnapps, my dad tried some but never told me what he thought of it. It is usually used as a chaser for Hákarl, the rotten shark). We have a new food processor so most people on my floor and the second have been making a variety of smoothies and milkshakes. I attempted to make a peanut butter smoothie from a recipe on the back of my Kraft peanut butter I got from my mom. It was ok but kind of disappointing, I thought it would be more peanut buttery but was very banana-y. I want to try peanut butter and apple next time but will wait until I get the more liquidy natural peanut butter.
Speaking of drinks, Tom, Guillaume, Ane, Julia, Allison and maybe others have invested in a brewing kit to make beer. Alcohol is really expensive here so might as well make it yourself. Tom had been talking about doing it since he got ot Iceland back in August but never did anything until now. So we will see how it turns out in about 2 weeks or so.
The weather is still unpredictable. It has been warm, it has been cold, there has been snow, there has been rain, there has been sun. I saw northern lights on Tuesday, very faint though but it stretched right across the sky. Still no pictures of it though. Still haven't seen any spectacular ones though but I guess seeing any is fine enough for me.
