Easter in the Arctic!!?

The last week has been very busy! When i got back from the student cabin, Anuschka was arriving for a visit! It was so lovely to have her here! I hope she enjoyed her stay! When she arrived I met her off the plane and gave her a tour around UNIS! We then went out for a meal and hot chocolate in a restaurant in Longyearbyen! It was good to have a girly gossip and catch up! The next day she started her videos for the SAMS website, which was very amusing because both of us were hopeless at technology!! She then came up to the barracks and i cooked dinner for her (yes you read correctly... i cooked, and i didn't burn anything!) :)

The next night i had a birthday party to go to! It was so much fun, we had a Mexican dinner with wine and lots of cake! It was nice to catch up with everyone at the party aswell! :) We got her a UNIS t-shirt and all signed it for her! :)

On Friday... it was Friday Gathering as usual! It actually never gets boring! I also had a VC meeting with SAMS to tell future students what UNIS was like and how much of an experience it is! I took my friend- Annalena with me so that was a giggle! After the meeting i got to chat to the students and lecturers for a bit. That was so nice to catch up... will need to get that organised again! :)

Saturday night we stayed in and prepared for Easter.... (Our barrack decided to celebrate Easter together as we wouldn't get the chance to again!!) We all picked a name out of a hat to buy a present for and we had to hide them somewhere in the barrack! We also boiled 36 eggs and painted them and decorated the kitchen with Easter eggs and Easter bunnies! It was such a giggle! On the Sunday, we all met in the shoe area of the barrack and counted down and had a race to see who could find their present first!! The barrack was torn up-side-down after but everyone found their present!! :)
