The last few weeks have been jam packed with field courses and social events. I am starting to get used to the darkness being here after having 24 hours of sunlight!! When the sun started going below the horizon, the sky always turned a lovely pink colour! Now it is just black at night! It has also been snowing pretty heavy here which is awesome for walking down to Uni in the morning. Also when it snows it is a great distraction from class because there are huge windows in all our lecture rooms- yesterday when I looked out the window I saw a car being towed by lots of huskies! I am also still getting used to looking out my window and seeing a glacier everyday! :) 
These last few weeks I went to “Friday gathering” as I do every week... this is such a good way to end the week! This week Friday gathering was cancelled because the canteen was being used so we had a big party in barrack four which is nick named “the party barrack”… because all they do is party and they never sleep!! On Saturday night we had a big diner party in our barrack, the Norwegian couple that I live with made the starter, the German couple made the main course and me and two girls made apple crumble for desert! We cooked for 11 people and everything went perfect! Every Thursday, the Germans that I am living with make a German dish called “spatzle”… It is like really thick home-made egg noodles with lots of cheese and it is so tasty. There is always way over 10 of us and after we watch a film! My Hydrology class has an on-going joke about David Hasslehoff (for some strange reason!), so on Monday night we decided to prank the party barrack (barrack 4) by putting pictures of David Hasslehoff all over there barrack! We planned this all day and watched Baywatch before we did it!! At four in morning we got up and sneaked over, all wearing black clothes and put posters of David everywhere! We put them on there toilet seats, on the windows, in there cereal, in the freezer and in there coffee cups! We also got a photo frame and put a picture of him in and kissed it so there were big red lips on the photo! We also put up big posters saying “You have been hoffed!!”… I think we have way too much time on our hands over here!!! They are still trying to work out who it was; I’m not looking forward to what they will do when they find out!
Although there is lots of silly things going on at UNIS, there is also lots of other interesting things… The UN Secretary General made an appearance at UNIS. He was giving a seminar on Climate change and afterwards he was open for questions. I think everyone was too scared to ask a question because only three questions were asked! There were big video cameras and lots of photographers all over UNIS when he was here and when he was giving his speech there was flashes going off everywhere!
