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!
