Copenhagen, wuhu!

I've been so busy that I only just realized that it's my turn to write and the clock is ticking closer to my bedtime, so I'll make it quick this time I think. This week I was in Copenhagen with my class for 3 days and oh my I didn't get much sleep! We started Wednesday, taking the train during school-time so we 'sadly' missed a couple of lessons. I spent most of the time eating candy in the train and taking pics of my classmates because no one else was doing that. When we arrived we had to go the National Museum to see an exhibition about The Modern Breakthrough - all I have to say is that it was burning hot in there and that our Danish teacher had already told us everything the guide was saying. So we rushed out of there, found a nice little restaurant (the girls and I) and then we went drinking. I don't like beer at all but somehow I got persuaded to share a Tuborg with Camilla and later a Carlsberg with Thomas plus a shot. Ew, ufff, alcohol! But it was a rather amusing evening, I think the guys managed to drink a box of beer in 1 ½ hour and there're only 6 guys in my class, so you can calculate yourself how many they drank each! I think I'll add a little picture of our 'party-time'. Either way I found out that the girls snore a lot. A lot! And loud! So I didn't really get much sleep.

The next morning we went off early to see "Klunkehjemmet" in English "The Victorian Home". I was really surprised by the beauty of this apartment from the late 19th century and our guide knew how to keep us awake during it all. But we had to hurry to catch a boat to the opera! We had bought tickets for the dress rehearsal for Shakespeare's Othello. It was amazing to sit in the opera and the stenography was beautiful. But one of the main singers wasn't allowed to sing so her solo which lasted 10 mins was a tiiiiny bit boring since you couldn't hear anything besides the orchestra. But all in all it was incredible! I'm probably never going to do that again since a ticket for the actual show costs a lot (and is in Copenhagen of course). Afterwards we had some spare time in the city before we met up at Christiania to have dinner with our teachers. It was a nice restaurant, wow, but it was the expensive in Christiania the cheaper one was filled up with people smoking weed and other kind of drugs. Uff what a smell! Then I went home to the hostel with two of the girls and we spent most of the evening in the guy's room where I ended up sleeping since I was too tired to move back into my own room. Let's just say Jacob wasn't pleased to see me sleeping in his bed and that he still farts in his sleep. How lovely. But the funny thing is that the guys didn't snore as loud as the girls so this night I actually got to sleep an hour or more!

The next morning (and the last) we went to Assistens Cemetery to visit the graves of famous Danish people like Søren Kierkekaard and H.C. Andersen. Our guide was an amusing man so we survived it with a smile on our lips. Next came a little tour with a guide who told us stuff we already knew so most of us didn't really pay much attention and I can barely remember which places we saw. Then we had to hurry to catch a bus to the train station and we were already heading home. While waiting in Fredericia I witnessed Jacob and Thomas drink whole milk without thinking it was rather odd and Andrea took too many pics of Camilla and I fooling at the train station floor. We were home in no time and Camilla and I spent the evening in my living room watching Sinbad and eating chocolate while being very tired.

And that was it! Was that a quick one, I don't know. I hope it wasn't too boring. Anypotter, Sille is out!      

Stuck in the past

After a discussion about royal families, and it got me thinking about whether countries, like Denmark, that still have royal families might be a little stuck in the past?
I guess there no real point to having a family that just receive lots of tax-payer money to do nothing, you might have guessed that I personally am slightly against the idea of royal families. One of the things I've heard people say in defence of royal family is that the royal family symbolises nice traditional values, to which I go, yeah? Like absolute monarchy? There's a reason why the people at some point overthrew their kings (and queens for that matter), because they didn't have a say in the decisions made, and they wanted to have (just like with the Arab Spring...)
Maybe countries hang on to royal families like people hang on to things after a break up that remind them of an ex. Because maybe it was bad times at the end of the relationship, maybe it was bad times most of the time, but that's not what we remember. The human memory truly is an evil things, it keeps playing tricks on us...

I apologize for not having a lot to say this week, but it's just been so busy and I kind of want to just have some time off now...

Update time and such

Hello there! Today I'll give a little update about my life since Camilla and I couldn't come up with any good themes for this week's blog.  So how's my life going these days? Well I've almost been in 3.G for a month now (it's the last year of high school I think) and it has passed by in a split second. Next week Sidsel and I will be working on our AT-project-thingy about homosexuals in the USA and the week after that we'll be going to Copenhagen for three days with our classes. I'm going to the Opera to see "Othello" over yay! Either way I can't believe that I'm already at my last year of high school, seriously I can't be over yet! I'm not ready to 'move on' and 'grow up' and decide what I want to do the rest of my life...  (Problems, problems, problems).

Apollo (Camilla) and Artemis (Me)

Anything interesting to tell? I've sailed in kayak for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I was terrible at it but I did it without falling into the water so that's something! I've also signed myself up to a fitness center so now I have to be all sporty and stuff... Furthermore I'm trying to survive having math A (highest level) on my own which is not going too well but I suppose I'll get a hang of it at some point, thank goodness I have Markus as an extra math book! Though I do have at least four math books and at least three math programs on my computer to help me out. More? Yes, in school we had our 'silly-picture' taken for the yearbook! My class was dressed up as 3. Athens (since I'm in 3.A it has to start with the letter A) and Camilla and I were dressed up as the Greek gods Apollo and Artemis. Look at the lovely picture! 

More? Hmm my parents keep asking me these days why I don't have a boyfriend and I'm starting to believe that my mom thinks that my brother (age 15) will get a girlfriend/boyfriend (who knows eh) before me but honestly that would just be hilarious. I mean I could tell that girl a lot of embarrassing stories about my brother, actually I'm looking forward to do that some day! Oh and talking about my brother he told me today that his boss (and my previous boss) offers me to return to work for 2 days in December because they need people before the Christmas lunch/party and I'm considering to say yes. Well I do need more details about it but honestly if I get paid the doubled of what I normally got (which I will since I'm 18 now) I could earn a lot of money in just 2 days. And I can always use money, I'm going to the cinema too often these days and fitness isn't cheap either.

Anypotter I think that's it, I can't really come up with more. So a little shout out to Camilla, congrats on 'catching' yourself a boyfriend, don't forget all about me! To Sidsel, happy (late) anniversary with Chrisie-Q, goodness I've never seen you so happy before! To Markus, meh, I have nothing to say to you or I think I forgot since it's late and I should be sleeping... Do your homework girl! Sille is out!
