La Dolce Vita: A Blog While Abroad: August 2013
http://frannieseitz.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
La Dolce Vita: A Blog While Abroad. Thursday, August 22, 2013. I woke up this morning at four o'clock after getting only a few hours of sleep. My adrenaline and excitement hid my exhaustion, because I was about to catch a 6:00am flight to Chicago. After 15 minutes of getting myself ready I hopped in the car with Dad and headed to the airport. He dropped me off and I was on my own. I took the elevator from the 18th floor to the main level. When I got outside I took a breath of fresh air. The last ...That ...

"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...

Fernweh: oopsilon
http://hannahfernweh.blogspot.com/2013/10/oopsilon.html
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...

"Tú alfagra land mítt": January 2014
http://katiesivanich.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tú alfagra land mítt". January 16, 2014. Jólaferð / Christmas Break. I just noticed that it has been a month since my last blog post, and I haven't shared anything with you about my Christmas break. It went way beyond what I had imagined, in the best way possible. You might remember me saying that Christmas is three days long in the Faroe Islands. Wow, is that ever true. There is "Jólaaftan" (Christmas Eve), "Jóladagur" (Christmas Day), and "Annanjóladagur" (Another? The night of annanjóladagur is the ni...

Fern•weh, noun, orig. German : a crave for travel; homesickness for a place you've never been. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. We wish you a merry swissmas. Merry Swissmas, everybody! At the Basel market. 1 Men cracking really, really long whips (my host mom told me to stand back.when they started swinging the whips around, slowly, they actually caught a few people's feet who were still walking to their places along the street). 5 THE BELL PROCESSION. I don't know how many people were a part of it, but t...

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...

"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...
