20 year old SOB

Hey ... it´s time for a LONG overdue blog from me... let´s just say that I´ve been on summer vacation from my blogging duties :P

So I finished my semester at WSU with a B ave. which is really good but I intend on improving that next semester, I already picked out my classes so it´s going to be fun (except for the calculus).

From the end of May til mid July I worked my ass off trying to make as much money as I could working two jobs. One at a bank during the day and the other at night making pizza´s but unfortunately I had some tax problems and didn´t make as much as I had hoped, but sei la vi.

On July 16th I embarked on a journey to the wonderful place of Orlando with the Icelandic U23 National bowling team. Our mission was the World Youth Championship, I started off great with even par ( 200 ave. ) after day one and was sitting in 40th position only 50 pins behind the cut. Then disaster struck during the doubles event and I just simply made wrong decisions and played the pattern all wrong! which led to my downfall in both doubles and team, but Hafþór and Róbert got the bronze in doubles, which is the first medal Iceland has received at a world championship in bowling, so good job guys! However this trip tourned out to be AWESOME ... I met a lot of new people, made some new legendary friendships and other things happened which I can not disclose here on this site for reasons unknown.

Today I turned 20 years old and it turned out to be one of my best birthdays yet (eventhough I realized I´m getting OLD!). Today I packed my bags for Spain and took off at 4p.m. and was greeted by my parents at the airport and after a 40 minute long drive to the house we´re staying at we had a massive BBQ on the roof (well for lighting reasons we ate inside, but we had desert on the roof, which was awesome b.t.w.) and we toasted with some champagné and had a few cold ones, I finished the night by watching a rerun of the world ten pin masters where Chris Barnes shot 569 (290,279) to Kristen Penny´s 546 (248,298) and it was AWESOME... I have a feeling this trip is going to be LEGEN----- wait for it------ still not there------ almost there------ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-----------DARY!!!!

well that´s all for now... I´ll be putting in more pic´s soon ... :P

Adios ,
Hasta Luego
