So my weekend didn't go quite how I had planned it at the end of my last post. I didn't attend the 48 hour party at all but didn't actually feel like I was missing out on too much fun. On Thursday I stayed home, did some reading, watched some TV, drank some tea and thought about life. I'm so deep. And on Friday I went to the Politics library. It is directly opposite the bar on campus which by Friday afternoon stank so bad of every bad smell in the world and there were people drinking outside the doors and people stumbling around campus in fancy-dress. This was the moment I was glad that I wasn't doing it. Looked way too hardcore.
Anyway I swear I drank more wine than I thought I drank on my Friday night in with a film, as I woke up on Saturday with a banging headache. Slow start - Simon left for his football game and Matt came round and we did literally nothing, it was so nice. We started getting restless so rode down the road and took a dusky walk around the park. Matt told me that he heard a rumour that a ducks quack is the only sound in the world that doesn't echo - which amused me greatly, but later turned out to be false. He also told me a very disturbing story about a guy he hung out with one summer who stole two ducks from his university duck pond and took them to the woods alive in his backpack. Kind of a weird story with a gruesome ending.
We then were still a bit restless so cycled down to Vesterbrogade and had a Vietnamese coffee. Just chilled and hung out there for a bit, chatting about life and Denmark and our childhoods and stuff which was cool. I then rushed home, did some personal grooming (had my first shower for 2 days - diiirty) and rode over to the Planetarium by the lakes to see Daft Punk's film Interstella 5555 at the IMAX as part of CPH:DOX, the international film festival with Chris and his cousin. Afterwards we went to a club in the meat-packing district of Copenhagen where there are loads of little clubs and bars. Met some French friends and danced the night away.
Was awoken at 5.30am with Simon returning very noisily from his party and he conked out on his bed with his door open - much bigger party animal than me. Met Max for brunch on Sunday and helped him buy some lovely new shoes - this is my new talent, spending other peoples money for them. I am getting very good at it. We met Matt and had a little park time with the ducks again. So many parks in this city. Got home to find Simon about to go home for the week so now I am home all alone and I don't really like it - the apartment is too big for one.
Today I worked hard all afternoon and had my Climate class at 4pm. While bikling (new phrase coined by Matt) to class, the wind was so strong at one point I shed a tear and then I was pedaling and not moving at all. It was the worst bike ride since I've been here. After class, me, Charlie and Alex had a coffee and then me and Charlie had a feast at this restaurant where the food was half-price. In the end my huge club sandwich and potato wedges cost less than a pint glass of Coke - MENTAL. But it was my first 'proper' meal since Friday night as I have lost my appetite for an unknown reason. I think I'm back on track now. Cycled home and it was so cold, I didn't even break a sweat (like I normally do). Haha.
It's getting so cold here, I want to buy a new pair of gloves tomorrow that will insulate my handlebar hands better. Still loving it though, I really feel at home here, although the last week or so has been tough in terms of missing you guys. This week I have so much real work to do so probably won't be partying for a little while. I need a break anyway.
