On Saturday we had our last day, which to me, consisted of exams - one for Faroese language, one for Faroese literature. The exam took 2+2 hours and no lunch in between. I thought that it went OK and I had pretty much everything covered. (The results came in and I got a B+ for language and a B for literature, "B" standing for "good knowledge of the subject with lacking just some small details" and A being the best you could get -> me very happy!:)

After the exam I was happy that we had food at home: the Finns came to our house to finish the rest of the food and we were all happy. Afterwards I had the luxury and the time to take a little nap! And then it was time to go to the University for our last evening together. And I cried and I cried and then I cried some more after all the sentimental speeches: I had had such a wonderful time with the summer course, the Faroe Islands, new friends and all of it, and I was so sad that it was all over for us! :'(
The food at the going away party was awesome! The atmosphere was heartfelt! We sang, we drank, we had fun and stayed up very late. I sympathized with the ones leaving with the early morning bus to the airport - and was so happy that I had decided to stay for a couple of extra days! I could sleep in all day the following day if I wanted to (and so I did).

At our farewell party we also danced some Faroese chain dancing: a very simple "one step right, two to the left" - choreography with singing (chanting) old norse verses. Our course leader stood in the middle and served everyone a shot of aquavit (schnaps)! I don't think that there were many sober dancers after that session!
I also went out a small trip to see what was going on at Bar Circus. I also got hit on (my first and only time in Tórshavn) when a guy asked if I wanted to spend the night with his friend. I was so baffled that I couldn't respond with anything witty, but when I think about it, it would've bee nice if he had asked for himself (we're not in first grade anymore)...
