Postcards from Isla · Day 15

One even «baa'ed» at me today

The first official day of Valgfag (electives)! My first one was stretching and conditioning so it was pretty chill. It gave a nice little workout to start the week.

I had about 45 minutes before lunch so I took a walk by myself. It was raining but it was more like a mist. I love the feeling of ultra light rain that doesn't really get you wet. It's like it calms everything around me and gives me a feeling of tranquility that no other moment can give. I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much into it…😂

I love walking to see the sheep. Every time I pass them I have to take off my headphones because their bells make the cutest sound, it just makes me smile. One even «baa'ed» at me today 🥹.

One of my friends has a signature lunch combination of bread, brunost, cottage cheese, and raspberry jam. I have been putting off trying it but I finally did and it was AMAZING. The sweetness comes together perfectly, I will definitely be having it often.

We had a lot of meetings today to go over cleaning duties, the pilgrimage trip next week, and the trip presentations for Spring. Mondays usually involve the most sitting 😵‍💫.

At night the stipps (student leaders) set up the entire basement into Hogwarts and declared that we will be having a «Harry Potter Week» I am not the biggest fan of Harry Potter but I am definitely open to experiencing it for a week. Unfortunately I couldn't make it through the entire 1st movie (too tired) so hope I won't be too behind. 😟
