6. Write About How To Talk To Girls At Parties

She regretted ever coming here, and she regretted ever saying yes to her friend's invite to tag along. The air felt NOXIOUS and she felt as if she’d puke. Man, this party is awesome, although my mind is BIFURCATED between getting more booze or saying hello to the pretty lady on that couch. He’d come to this party to try and get some action but the hot piece of ass he was hittin’ on wouldn’t stop talkin' ‘bout some book about a young orphaned boy from 1750 something, who cared about some long dead URCHIN?!

My name is Eyvind and I'm 14 turning 15 this summer. I live in Fáskrúðsfjörður and work at Kjörbúðin as a cashier. I'm hoping to attend VA next semester and I'm planning on studying how to become a carpenter and make furniture. My hobbies include knitting, gardening, and drawing and I like doing things where I can use my hands.

1. Vegans could be killing the planet 2. Today, veganism is considered the best thing any concerned Earth-lover could practice. But is it? Vegans eat exclusively food that doesn’t come from animals, but they often live where they can´t grow the food they want to eat. That’s why shipment from other countries is often required. In my opinion, veganism is not that good of an idea for Icelanders. I would like to point out flaws in the transportation methods and offer ideas for alternatives. 3. Local food&nbsp; What is local food? Most people consider local food the food originating from your nearest surroundings. In Iceland, these are potatoes, root vegetables, and berries outside, to name a few. But in greenhouses, we can grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and kale. &nbsp;Production in greenhouses is limited, which means we have to import many types of vegan products from abroad, such as tropical fruits, and vegetables, such foreign fruits and vegetables can no longer be considered local food.

I would have liked to go to the CONSERVATORY, but it seems someone beat me to it. A girl sat alone looking oh-so WISTFUL looking over the garden. I better not disturb her. She could feel him TENTATIVELY put his arm on her back. It was obvious this was not his strong suit. There was something terribly wrong with this place, and some of the people. I didn’t notice it at first but it IMPERCEPTIBLY started to turn uncanny. He doubted he would be attending any parties soon. The experience at this godforsaken house TRANSMUTED his view of them. This party and the people in it were downright bonkers. A girl talking about coming from the sun and another rambling about some PROGENITOR.

Words I learned. Quaint- fallegur, aðlaðandi Thermal underclothes- hitaundirfatnaður Index fingers- vísifingur.

2&amp;4. Learning new words Number 2 and 4 are very similar so they’re both going to be here. I look at the word and my brain remembers how it looks or I try to say it but in an Icelandic way if that makes sense. For example, when I was trying to memorize the spelling “people” I would think of it as “pee-oh-pleh”. The other way I memorize them is by how they look. I’ll be using them sometime later when writing something, I’ll look at them, and think “yeah, that looks kind of right”. If I’m trying to learn the meaning of a new word I make up sentences in my mind involving them to try and get the feel for them and reinforce my understanding of them. 3. Make my environment suit my learning When I’m studying, I like to light some candles and have some studying snacks like Kúlu-Súkk that won’t dirty my fingers. Silence can often make me distracted so I listen to podcasts, but they can also distract me sometimes. I also close the blinds and door. I often get tired of studying so I take a few breaks in between and go out on a walk or play on my bass or annoy people.

Other Options Considering the calculations I made, you might be thinking to yourself “That’s a lot of pollution. What else could I possibly eat?” And do I have the answer.&nbsp; &nbsp;The Icelandic lamb is born, sent to the mountains to graze, taken back to the farm, and slaughtered for consumption. Carbon print? Not much.&nbsp; &nbsp;Iceland has access to the ocean which means its inhabitants can have much fish. You can even fish yourself. &nbsp;When fishing Blue Whiting, on a wet fish trawler, it can be between 85000 liters of fuel for 2000 tons of fish, and 260000 liters for 2200 tons. But when fishing cod the fuel consumption is approximately 150 liters per ton, on a trawler but it can be 50 liters per ton on a long liner.

The light on the coffee maker turns off, I pour myself a cup, add some sugar, and dip a cookie in it. “So fucking good, oh my lord.” But, my breakfast shouldn’t be just cookies and coffee, so I throw together a sandwich. Before leaving for work I put everything that needs to be refrigerated in the refrigerator and leave in a hurry after deciding to put everything away later as I don’t want to be late. &nbsp;Driving down the little road to town, I reach my hand to the passenger seat, to a box of those cookies I brought with me, I couldn’t help but take some. Work was uneventful. One of the patrons at the café tipped me well, though! Sigh, I’m so ready to slip into some nicer clothes and relax. Stepping into the kitchen to clean up after breakfast I come to a halt. Where is my cup? Where are my spoon, sugar, and everything from this morning? After checking around the kitchen in all the cabinets I find that everything is in its right cupboard or shelf. Huh, okay, now I’m starting to get an uneasy feeling. ‘Did somebody break into my home to clean and bake?!’ But, that can’t be, since all my doors and windows were shut and locked. This is weird, truly. I pick up my phone and send a text to my friend, Isaac. &nbsp;-bro I think some1 broke into my house

6. Animal products &gt; No Animal Products If we were not to eat any animal products, people working physically demanding jobs would constantly be tired. We can get protein from vegan sources, but our bodies process the protein from meat better. &nbsp;Meat is also so damn delicious that I couldn’t live without it. Steak with fried vegetables and roasted potatoes, bbq ribs, and salted fish from Kalli Sveins with some “hamsatólg” (tallow). My mouth is watering just thinking about these delicacies. Mmmm.

My Learning Style According to the tests I’m a Visual Learner 1. Memorizing facts When I need to remember things like “what happened when?” and “who did what?” I make a little mental note where I visualize the names, places, dates and stuff like that. I may also write it down but I rarely draw a map or make a diagram or something like that. I try to make my notes more linear when taking notes on things that happened in sequential order, but also make them coordinated by using colors for certain types of notes. I have multiple types of notes, and they’re not the most well-structured, but I’m working on it.

4. Transportation methods Many vegans consider themselves environmental-friendly. That leaves the question of whether they really are. &nbsp;Since we (Icelanders) can’t grow all the food we need, and so we have to venture to other food sources, like Europe. Icelandair uses Boeing 757-200 and the new 767-300er planes to import cargo. The B757-200 can carry 34-36 tons and consumes around 2630 liters per hour, while the new B767-300er can carry up to 58 tons and consume 6000 liters per hour. &nbsp;The B747 can carry up to 139 tons and consumes 15000 liters per hour. These are shocking numbers considering how many planes like these fly at such a low cargo-to-fuel ratio. &nbsp;Cargo ships that carry 10000+ TEUs, with each TEU at approximately 24 tons, consume around 370000 tons per day at 25 knots, equal to 46.3 kph. Cargo ships do take more time, but they use way less fuel. Additionally, they can carry many more containers, so they should be used for international shipping. Having done some maths, I found that with these numbers, a B747 uses 107 liters per ton, but a cargo ship in the bigger category consumes around 0.064 liters of fuel per ton of cargo.

-wat -my dishes were clean when I got back from work. &nbsp;And I sure didnt clean em -lol, ur house haunted by a maid ghost&nbsp; ‘Hmmm, ghosts… noooo… mabey?..’&nbsp; Some time later I’m standing at my kitchen table with an ouija board and candles, for the aesthetic. I place my index fingers on the planchette. “Alright, uh.. Is anyone there?” The planchette moves to “yes”.&nbsp; ‘Holy shit’ “What is your name?” The planchette moves again. “ M A R G A R E T “ ‘Well, I’ve got nothing better to do. I guess I could chat with this Margaret some more.’

For my freestyle assignment I wanted to pick up an old poem I worked on some time ago. I made it in Icelandic class a year back, I think. I haven’t completed it, yet, and I also lost half of it when moving, whooo...&nbsp; Last year I tried to make a song out of it, but that didn’t really go anywhere as I couldn't find the right rhythm and notes for my poem/lyrics. When I attempted to develop a melody, I drew inspiration from songs like I Deserve to Bleed and Self Care and some Indie artists. But anyway, here it is: Spring is when all flowers bloom, Daisies, roses, dandelions. I can no longer see the moon, guess it comes with all the sun... I wish that it would burn me down, blister up my skin! All that I would ever need would be that single win! Do you like it when I paint my face in dainty ways? I feel like a fool, a clown!&nbsp; Must I really keep it on the down-low? How shall next I display my tenacious woe?

I added the last two lines just now, and I’ll probably be adding more for a long time, tinkering with my art of words. I haven’t decided on a title for it but I’m trying to decide between “Burnt Flora” and “Súpa” very different, I know.&nbsp; It is mostly about my body dysphoria and being too scared to come out to certain family members, or other people I know, about being trans and queer. In my first sentence, I use flowers as a congruity for femininity and spring for its “blossoming”. When talking about burning me down under the sun and making my skin blister, I mean that I want to depredate those gorgeous and oh-so-holy flowers, my feminine traits, and instead become something grotesque and unhuman, possibly liking myself more that way. My parents encourage me to use makeup and dress in ways that exaggerate my curves. It makes me feel uncomfortable and wrong. Last but not least, it’s about needing to nearly lead a double life and wanting to just promulgate myself without any feeling of dubiety.&nbsp; The words I learned in this assignment are: Tenacious: Þrálátur Congruity: Samlíking/svörun Depredate: Niðurlægja/eyðileggja (Depredation is more used) Promulgate: Kynna/sýna Dubiety: tvístígandi I wanted to practice explaining and expressing ideas and reasons.

5. Learning new skills I’m not much of a kinesthetic or tactile learner, but I do often remember what the movement feels like and I greatly rely on muscle memory for many things. I don’t learn many new skills on a daily basis so I’m not sure just what to put here. 6. Other things I’m pretty good at memorizing and learning things by reading about them but when I need to learn things like math formulas or just anything connected to math I often need someone to say the words to me so I can understand them properly. It can be irritating at times since I usually just work by myself. &nbsp;I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this information to better myself as I’ve always kind of known I learn better by seeing rather than hearing. &nbsp;I also dislike needing to learn things through someone telling me them as I’m highly likely to mishear what they’re saying. I am pretty sure I have an auditory processing disorder and have been meaning to contact a doctor.

I and Gabriel worked on this assignment together.

I have lived in this house for a little over two months. It’s a lovely, quaint, little cottage sitting amidst trees and bushes in a bit of clearing. It has a main floor with a kitchen, lounge, and bathroom. An upper floor with two bedrooms, and a little storage space. It also has a cellar, in which, a washing machine and storage are situated. &nbsp;It is quite old, evident by the small doors and narrow stairs, amongst other things, like the heating system and odd sounds and creaking in it. The old furnace in the basement is broken. When it broke I went and bought a bunch of thermal underclothes expecting it to be cold as it was at the beginning of September. And yet, there are many warm spots in the house, it doesn’t have the best insulation, and the old fireplace, I know for a fact, couldn’t heat this whole place. But I sure as hell won’t be complaining. Now, at around seven-thirty, I come downstairs, about to make something to eat, and head to work. I had to find a new job after moving and was nervous about not being hired anywhere, but it all worked out since I- Wait, when did I bake that? &nbsp;I look at the mountain of cookies sitting on my kitchen table, chocolate chip cookies. That’s odd, but. &nbsp;‘Oh, well; cookies’ I think as I grab one and bite down. ‘Wow, these are really good!’ I start the coffee maker and continue chewing on the cookie.
