Mistaken Expectations

Posted by Svavar on December 13th, 2006

So, I’ve been in the DC/Arlington area for over 5 weeks now and I’ve done almost none of the travelling I said I would. It seems that DC has embraced me and provided an alternative to my previously planned nomadic excursions along the East Coast.
I’ve been very fortunate indeed. I’ve made some great new friends [...]

The final days

Posted by Svavar on October 27th, 2006

Tomorrow is my last day at Innn. It’s safe to say I’m going out with a bang. After work there is a pool tournament, followed by a graduation party, followed by a roaring night on the town.

Laziness has never been so amusing.

It’s been a long time coming

Well, I’ve been neglecting my blogging for a while now. A lot has changed since April and it seems that I’m looking uncertainty straight in the eye, but with a calming sense of security.
My plans have changed somewhat. I met Kim in New York recently and we decided that we don’t want to get married [...]

I’ve been living in Iceland for almost 2 months (that is, since I got back from my extended vacation in California).
