After a holiday on Monday my brain has become permanently on vacation. I'm already carrying out plans for summer extravaganzas. All of the gallivanting begins immediately after the biology final where I'll vacate the country to Denmark, I think?
Yes, I'll fly away to Denmark, then Norway, and then Norway. I'll end up in Svalbard at 11:30 pm which will be okay in terms being scared of the dark and polar bears since the midnight sun will be out. In fact, I'll experience solstice above the arctic circle for the very first time. This really excites me.
Svalbard is a very beautiful part of the world and it even feels like another world. It's normal to carry a rifle outside of the city for safety. It has a huge coal mining economy. It has less than 2,000 people living there. It got bombed during WWII. It has glaciers and flowers. It has loads of fossils of tropical plants larger than my hands.
I'm tempted to change my ticket to stop in the Lofoten Islands. It's probably the most beautiful place I've ever been lucky enough to travel to.
Last weekend my parental units stopped by and kidnapped the kiwi and I. We ended up in Friday Harbor and watched Star Trek. It was a really nice.
In thrilling news, our potted plants are growing! And fast, too. I'm expecting a jungle when I return.
And lastly, I'm still employed!
