In March, I started at a private school, Landakotsskóli, that specializes in language so that I could be with more English-speaking children. A big stone church is beside my school, even tho it is not part of the school it's next door - a very old with a long, long history when Christians first came to Iceland and converted people from a pagan life. It was getting kind of hard to be in the Icelandic-speaking school even tho my teacher and friends were so great, it feels so good to have friends that speak English. I'm still learning Icelandic and every week there is a wood-working class, among other interesting things. There are only 7 of us in grade 3 class. I use my scooter to go to school now, mom usually bikes beside me. One family is from Nelson, BC - they lived there for 10 yrs and now live in Reykjavik cause the mom is Icelandic and dad, a Canadian doctor. They are coming to Kelowna in August so maybe I'll see their two boys, one is the same age.
My best friend is Sturla, he's very cool, and comes over almost every day after school. Sometimes, mom gets us something at the bakery on the way home, or go swimming and for ice cream, or just jump and play on all of the big lava rocks behind where we live. When we were all walking(Sturla)/biking (mom)/scootering (me) along, on Wed, Sturla said, "Niall, when you grow up, you should be a dare devil." Mom laughed so hard she almost fell off of her bike. He knows me pretty good even tho we've known each other such a short time!!!
