I haven´t written for months, not since last summer! My icelandic net-diary has recently been reactivated and is now a bustling forum for my thoughts, interests and news. I plan to make an English summary every month on this particular English page. I might add some more messages to it, though, for friends abroad, so it might be a monthly summary + something extra.

Now, to summarize a whole year in a few lines, I´ve been living in the West-End (for lack of a better word) of Reykjavik, near the football Stadium of KR (the main football team of Reykjavik). This is close to the shore too. We receive some breeze from the sea, but not as much as the houses flanking the shore. This is a very quiet neighborhood. We don´t sense the noisy centre yet we only have to walk for twenty mintues or so to reach it. Just perfect.

I´m living with Vigdis, my girlfriend, and we´ve known each other approximately for two years now, living together in this house since last October.

I´m working in a protected home for handicapped people. Sometimes I work during the day but usually during the evening, as well as being there every second weekend. This takes a lot of my time. Last winter I also studied in KHI (teachers´ University) and got a license as a teacher last June. This summer I´m trying to find a job as a teacher. It is not easy for there are more teachers now than ever with very few posts on offer. I´ll just have to cross my fingers.

Until later,
cheers,
Steini
