I just finished my report on Akureyri and wanted to share it. I put a translation there too. It's a masterpiece! I'm so proud and it only took me about 2 hours to write. Kind of sad because it's basically a second grade report. Oh well. I'm still really proud of it.
Akureyri er fjórða stærst borg á Íslandi og er kölluð ‘Höfuðstaður Norðurlands’. Hún er staðsett á suðvestri hliðinni Eyjafjarðar og er umlukt hjá fjöll. Þrátt fyrir stað hennar, veðrið er fallegt, einstaklega á sumarin þegar það er sextíu stiga (tuttugu stiga C). Í Akureyri það er bókasafn opinber, listasafn, og Akureyrarkirkja. Það er náttúrugripasafn hvar er hægt að læra um alla fugla Íslands og önnur jurtir og dýr. Nyrðastur grasgarður veraldar er í Akureyri og það er með miklar jurtir af Íslandi og öðrum staðnum. Í Akureyri það er líka frábær háskóli sem heitir Háskóli Akureyrar. Í háskólanum er hægt að læra lögfræði og félagsvisindi, heilsu, menntun, eða verslunarfræði og vísindi. Eitt háskólapróf er kennt á ensku (tölvufræði). Háskólinn er með frábær fjarkennslu fyrir nemendur sem búa á Íslandi og nemandaskipti við aðra skóla. Í stigi persónulegu, Akureyri er uppáhaldsborgin mín úr veröld. Mig langar til að búa þangað framvegis. Það er ein ástæða ég er að læra íslensku!
Akureyri is one of the largest towns in Iceland and is known as the capital of Northern Iceland. It is located on the southwest side of Eyjafjörður and is surrounded by mountains. Despite being so far north, the climate is beautiful, especially in the summer when the average temperature is in the upper 60s (around 20 C). In Akureyri there is a public library, art museum, and Church of Akureyri. There is a nature museum, where you can learn about all the birds in Iceland and other plants and animals. The world´s northernmost botanical garden is located in Akureyri and contains many Icelandic and foreign plants. There is also a great university called University of Akureyri. At the school you can study law and social sciences, health sciences, education, or business and science. A major in computer science is taught in English. The school has a good distance learning program for students that live in Iceland and an exchange program with other universities. On a personal note, Akureyri is my favorite town in the world and I hope to live there someday. That is a great part of the reason I am learning Icelandic.
I felt a little guilty because maybe London is my favorite city, but I didn't quite want to get into that.
P.S. I received my diploma today!

I just read this article in the latest Psychology Today magazine. It's about Icelanders and their belief in elves. I thought you might find it interesting. If you want, I can cut it out and mail it to you.
London told me that he's very upset regarding your favorite city statement. I tried to explain the situation, but you may want to talk to him yourself. Just a heads up.
