"Tú alfagra land mítt": February 2014
http://katiesivanich.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tú alfagra land mítt". February 4, 2014. This Saturday marks six months of being in the Faroe's, meaning half of my exchange is over. A bittersweet feeling, but I am lucky to have as much time left as I do. I am hoping to depart for Minnesota on July 31st, allowing me to stay for all of the wonderful things the Faroese summer has to offer. If you are my friend on Facebook or any other social media, you will know that I have just been to ICELAND! Arizona Iced Tea in Iceland. I ended up coming back wit...

"Tú alfagra land mítt": July 2014
http://katiesivanich.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tú alfagra land mítt". July 31, 2014. It's July 31st and I'm sitting in the same spot, right down to the chair, where I wrote my first blog post on August 10th of 2013 (Starbucks in the Copenhagen airport). The biggest goal of my exchange year has been fulfilled. It was light years harder to say goodbye to the Faroe Islands than it was to say goodbye to Minnesota. And then suddenly it was time to leave. It just can't be over yet. It can't just end, can it? I arrive in Minnesota at 7pm this evening, so th...

Fern•weh, noun, orig. German : a crave for travel; homesickness for a place you've never been. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Also, hoi zämme. Hey there, my friends. It's been awhile. I'm hoping it's okay with you guys that I'm going to be an extremely. Irregular blogger. I remember in past years following the blogs of the other exchange students and seeing that many of them, after a month or two, either barely posted or gave up completely. "I'm just so busy! I got a wonderful care package from my family, in...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014: August 2013
http://wesbrakerjapan.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Saturday, August 31, 2013. I may finally agree that school rocks. It’s quite an experience. Fortunately, I have not had any negative experiences because of this. One thing I have noticed, though, is that everyone from Nagano High School recognizes me and says “hello” in English. It’s very cool! I feel so welcomed to the school. On Friday, I went to the Nagano Wind Orchestra’s rehearsal. It was incredible! It's really hard work, though. While...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. I took a break from Aikidou on Saturday night because I was still recovering from my illness last week. When I got home from school, there was a package for me from Michelle Fredrickson! Thanks so much Michelle! It was wonderfully decorated and full of all sorts of Halloween goodies! The peanut butter tastes delicious and so do the skittles! Sunday was a long day! It was very strange. It was (and I’m going to...

"Tú alfagra land mítt": 209 days down, 146 days left
http://katiesivanich.blogspot.com/2014/03/209-days-down-146-days-left.html
Tú alfagra land mítt". March 6, 2014. 209 days down, 146 days left. A little update for you - I moved to my third host family on Saturday. And I just found out it's March. It's March. I thought we were in the beginning of February. I am only required to keep track of the day of the week, not the exact date, so it really snuck up on me when I realized I would be switching families in just one week. Is the same. You can understand and speak so much. And, it won't stop here. I have at least four more mo...

"Tú alfagra land mítt": The Whale Culling
http://katiesivanich.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-whale-culling.html
Tú alfagra land mítt". March 8, 2014. I have been wanting to right a blog post about this for a long time. Many people from the states have asked me about the article circling the internet which talks about the "Denmark Dolphin Slaughter". . I have three corrections - the Faroe Islands is not. Denmark, they are short finned pilot whales,. And it is a culling, not. Is the animal that is referred to in many false articles regarding the culling. The short finned pilot whale. The meat harvested from the cull...
