here's some Icelandic for you. a former student just came back and longs to return. she sent me some nice drawings. the latter two phrases are the drawing's titles.
after only 3 months she's FLUENT!! jees.

Yay Icelandic!! That's so exciting! I wish I had ended up going, but I got sick. Instead we're going next year. omg I love those phrases! they're so random...ANYway....you need to liven up the new seniors! get them to make some ruckus! ahh yeah...the donner party...we don't have good luck in our family. We were also in the San Fransisco fire. that makes 3 major disasters. maybe the next one will happen to me........then some one will write a book about me.....that'd be cool....and sad cuz I'd be dead......ah well.

I was answering this, then left the room. it poofed. my new seniors? nothing like your group. some can really paint, but they're awfully quiiiet, unobtrusive, so far a bit passive. they have no MENTORS! meanwhile
WASSAMATTAYOPOPPA? DONNER? boy that gene pool of yours...
