Dang that was a lot of writing and catching up to do! This past week and a half since I last blogged about has been pretty uneventful, for the most part. I'll try to sum it up as best as I can in one post so I'm back on track. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I spent most of my life studying for my Corporate Finance exam. That was on Wednesday, 4hr long written exam.. ugh.. but I think it actually went ok. I don't get the results for probably another 2 weeks or so, it will be interesting to see how I actually did on the exam..
That night called for a celebration... we went to a birthday party in another dorm, it was okay but not too many people were there. When we were riding the metro home, there was no one else on the entire time! We had a dance party and were just being stupid the whole way home, definitely something I wouldn't have seen coming that night!
Thursday night we went out to Australian Bar (A Bar), a ton of fun.... a lot of Tordens residence went out together and had 40kr entrance with 10kr drinks. The next few days I dedicated to writing this paper I had to about Turkey's economy. Sunday I went up to Helsingor to see Dino and his family after I had lunch with the ladies of Tordens. We went to a place nearby called Restaurant Chili that has a 60kr student special but since my school ID got stolen they were huge jerks about it. It was a pretty quiet time at Dinos, just watched some videos (Golden Girls which we are now obsessed with, Dad sent me the complete first season). Back in CPH after Monday I pretty much tried to study and get some homework done and relax a little. Elyses family was in town so I went to dinner with them one night at Jensons Bofhus. After that we were going to go out but instead the night ended with me, Ben, and "The Brewsters" (Jos and Chris) in the brewsters room having wine and talking. My new workout routine is getting more intense.. since I hate running I always dreaded the treadmill but have now incorporated it into my workout and am beginning to like it more and more.
Last night Dino and I went to the ballet. He came over with a dozen roses and pizza, so we had cava (champagne from Barcelona) and candles too. After dinner we had a drink at Nyhavn before heading off to the Royal Theater. The ballet was alright, it was called Onegin but the guy sitting behind us was a complete jerk! He was just so rude, at one point I made a comment to Dino (quietly whispered) and the guy tapped me on the shoulder really hard, almost a push, and started yelling at me in Danish loudly. I can understand if we were being really loud to begin with but it was already hours in and I had just made one comment. He could've just nicely asked me to be quiet but he had to be such a jerk about it. That pretty much ruined my wanting to stay for the third and final part of it, so we left after the second intermission and went to Nexus. Tonight we are going back out to A Bar for 60kr entrance and open bar from 11-1.
Cultural epiphanies.. even though I'm sure I've said it before, these past few weeks have made me realize how little "life" there is to Danish culture. Everyone is so prim and proper and never says a word. It makes me appreciate American culture so much, even though people say we are loud and whatever, I'd much rather have "life" in my culture than just plain blah. Also, Danish guys are VERRRRY feminine. It's so weird. Nothing that I am used to at all... they have much tighter jeans than most girls and wear women's scarves all the time. It is one of the most unattractive groups of men to me ever, but Danish girls must like it because almost all of the guys have the same style. Oh.. not to forget these huge ridiculous Buddy Holly glasses that look like the ones from the prank glasses with the huge nose and mustache attached. The first time I saw guys with them on I was expecting them to bust out laughing or something but no, apparently they are serious about this style. Bizarre. Okay, that's my rant for the day!
