Today was the last day of the course, we got up for breakfast at the Loft before heading out to Haskoli Island (the university) for 9am as we had done for the first week of the course. There were 5 groups presenting - Fisheries, Deforestation, Energy (us), Waste, Environmental Economics, and I might be missing one? All the groups were really interesting and did a good job presenting. After the presentations we had a lil powwow in the couch valley in the atrium outside our class room. Once the instructors had left, our group each pitched in 1000ISK (~10$) each to get a pool of money to divy up for gifts for each of out instructors! Leah, Lee and Harold all got good (we hope) bottles of wine, while Caitlin (who's pregnant) got a pair of baby socks, 2000ISK to her fave coffee shop and chocolate! If took most of the afternoon to get his organized and get the gifts, so by the time we got back to the Loft, it was pretty well time to get ready and head to Leah's rented condo for pizza & wine (and hot tub!). When we awarded the gifts, Caitlin was so greatful! Apparently, she'd never been given a gift before!
A couple of us (7) jumped into the 5-person hottub before heading out to a brewpub for a couple pints with our whole group (including Lee, Leah, Harold and Caitlin and her partner!).
