On this beautiful afternoon I will try to give you a little update of my fourth week! It was a very busy week, one of the reasons it took so long I could write something in my blog. I know I need to do it sooner sometimes, because I don't want to neglect this.
I enjoyed the weekend and I had time to fully recover from my sickness. I went to the deerpart with some friends on Saturday. On Sunday I was supposed to go for a run with a friend, but the weather wasn't that good. We decided to go for a - very expensive - coffee in the city center. Afterwards, I went cooking with a friend. We drunk a nice glass of wine together and had a pretty good dinner. Just enjoying the little things and the company of so many new people. Unfortunaltely, I forgot a bit that there was still so much preparing work for the week.
It was a very challenging week for me. I had my first Danish class on Monday. And I could understand what the teacher was trying to say, but that's the only thing. I suck at the pronunciation. I have no idea how I will be able to ever speak this language properly, or even understand it, cause the way the teacher was speaking, was really basic. But I am trying: Tuesday on my way to University I was repeating everything we learned the day before. I am not sure I am doing it right, but I can try, right?! Unfortunately I had to skip my second Danish class on Wednesday evening. I found a better way to spend my evening, go and prepare my debate in the library! Imagine: a Wednesday evening, 7pm, Thursday big debate and I hadn't done anything yet! No stress, just a bit pressure to get to know something of the subject. So I decided to go and join my teammate in the library at 10pm! Nice, right! Just take your bike, access the library with your student card and read in all peace and quiet! I loved it, really. To be honest, after 12 I started to become a bit scared to sit in the library alone, in the middle of a park with almost no lights. Especially when I started watching American Horror Story (serie) the day before with a friend. It was really creepy, so I went home to sleep and get up early to prepare a bit more for the debate. The debate was okay, not very good, but we did what we could. Next time we will be better.
After sleeping too less and stressing too much, I had a relaxing afternoon with a friend. Afterwards I went to a pizzaparty! That was AWESOME :D Making pizza, drinking beer or other alcoholdrinks, talking. The pizza's were fantastic and afterwards, the 'dessert'part got even better: vodka and white rum! Hnn, I love having Polish and German friends! Yesterday I went to the Fridaybar of Esperanto's, it was crazy. Now I know how to get drunk pretty quickly: drink beershots. But don't think I am living unhealthy over here. I still try to be healthy (and yeah, it is more trying with no succeeding! My Belgian friend is already teasing me that he will take all my sweet things away, so I cannot eat so much anymore :( BUT he will NEVER take my Nutella :o). I did go for a run this week. I am lucky to have a personal coach. I never thought I could do it, but I ran almost 7 km! And it was a run with a perfect view: the sea. We stopped 15min to take a break and enjoy the beauty of the sea. This is what makes this city so great: you have everything! Anyone can feel at home! You can go partying at the bars or the Fridaybars, you can go to the beach or a park to relax, you have great studyfacilities, shoppingstreets, cute caffees, romantic places near the water and the beach... You can find it all in Aarhus! I am happy I am here, try to enjoy the most of it when I can!
I hope the weather, people and places with you are as amazing as they are here! Enjoy it, now you can. Thanks for reading!
