So what about having a new update! I should start writing more. It's hard to remember what happened last week, so how will I be able to remember all the little things I do not write down?! The things that made this journey a bit more special..The akward moments, the frustrations, the feeling of safety during a hug, the moment of pleasure after a beer or just the smile on someone's face after doing stupid things?!
It's hard to write it all down. Some things are just indescribable, others things just make you too sad. That is how life passes by: good moments and bad moments. That is how my week felt! I know it can sound a bit stupid, but this week I really wanted to come home and feel safe again. It's break week, so a lot of people are going home (Germans, Norwegian), others started travelling already (Australians, Canadians, Japanese friend..) First, I didn't want to go away, just stay here in Aarhus and prepare for my exams. But a friend made me realize that there is more than just studying here. Stop stressing, live your life, travel! And that is what I will do! I am leaving tomorrow - way too early - with the bus to Copenhagen. Wednesday evening we cross the border to Malmö, Sweden. The packing was exciting, the preparations were nice, so the trip will be fine, I guess! I even skipped my Danish class for it (twice) last week. One have to set priorities!
What else did I do this week? I went to an event called 'Post a Letter'. The purpose of this event was to make people start writing letters again, instead of communicating only through Facebook and e-mail. The coolest thing: we could send our letters for free! It was really nice to write some letters and to surprise people at home :) I even got surprised by my roomy from Ghent: she wrote me a sweet letter, which I received Tueseday morning. I was so happy, I even started crying. Tueseday felt like a long and depressing day. The weather was grey and foggy, I didn't go out of the house and I didn't see anyone all day. So I got a bit sad in the evening, wanting to go home and cuddle my sister. Luckily I planned to meet up with some friends to play the pub quiz, and of course the little surprise from my roomy helped me to feel happy again.
Wednesday was a boring day. I went to the library - I love that place!! - and I had the most boring course ever. I even almost started laughing with the teacher at the end of the lecture. Me and my German friend were looking at each other thinking why we were sitting there. But there was one good thing: we got free cake, Danish cake! It was way too sweet, but a good treat to survive the class. After the class I rushed to Lærdansk to meet up with my travel mates (of whom I don't know two) and we planned and talked for three hours. Afterwards I skyped with my parents and went to a friend to watch the last episode of American Horror Story. You know that series? Don't watch it, it is crazy! Just kidding, about the first part. It is a crazy series, but it is pretty good and I like it! The mystery, the music, the non-romance.. But the shocked look on my friends face really makes the deal. It wouldn't be the same to watch it with someone else (so I promise I won't cheat again!!).
On Thursday I was a bit stressy because of my Intellectual Property-course. The lecturer really stresses me out, but I try to work on that. I need to stay calm, read as much as possible (of all the articles he puts online :o) and try to understand it. I did a good thing that day: I helped my friend passing his exampaper he had to write on one day. And Friday, the day I was looking forward to because of the moviee :D Afternoon was movie time, whiiee. But first I went to the library to print out articles for my paper. I was so excited that I might have overdone it but still, it will keep me busy.
The weekend was great and sad. A real woman's weekend: getting emotions sort out. But meeting up with some new friends can really surprise you. Sometimes I don't realize I am here making friends with people from all over the world.
So now it's time to go to bed. I am so excited to go on the trip! It feels so weird: travelling with 3 guys I barely know and meeting up with people in the different cities, people I study with. It is amazing how easy it can be! z
