I usually meet Jeramy up at the university a few times a week and we work on the main floor or in the basement of the central building (the first 9 pictures above). The windows are a nice remedy to those in our apartment, and the university café, Háma, has cheap sandwiches and decent coffee.
The red building is the library, and we work there sometimes as well. But I like Háma better because of the chaos. When the students around me speak Icelandic, I'm not distracted from reading the way I am when I can eavesdrop on English conversations. Jeramy and I started Icelandic lessons this week though, so maybe soon I'll be listening in, trying to figure out what people are saying. For now, I can only manage, "Góðan daginn, ég heiti Brecken. Talar þú ensku?"
I used to do that too in Crete, Greece. I love being surrounded by languages unknown to me.
ReplyDeleteokay, all I can get is Good day, I am Brecken. the "Talar þú ensku" has me though... either how are you or who are you... LOL...
