Just wanted to tell everybody that I made the trip back to Denmark and that I*m now back at home and almost back in school too. I sort of forgot to go to school this Friday, so technically tomorrow (Monday) will be my first real day in a while.
I slept on a floor on the boat (because somebody decided to throw up in the air-seats room) and walked dead-tired through pouring rain in Stockholm to the train station and caught a train and then managed to skip twenty minutes of waiting, by running like hell to catch a connecting train from Malmo. Then, when I came to Copenhagen, I literally only just made it from the train station to the school in time not to flunk the project that we had been working on, before I left for Finland. I actually think I strained a couple of friendships by going to Finland, which will need some more fixing, but everything went well Thursday, cooking some traditional Moroccan meals and presenting them to parents and friends brought in for the occasion.
After the whole thing was over and cleaned up after, we went drinking downtown, at a place where they had some very nice live music and we sang along and fun. Sadly, since then I*ve been suffering from the same cold as Seb infected everybody else with, meaning that I*ve had almost no voice this weekend. Tonight (Sunday) they*re closing the amusement park *Tivoli* with a concert by a Danish band called D:A:D and I hope that I*ll be able to sing along to some of their songs. Incidentally, this will be my first ever visit to the amusement park in question, and because they*re closing up for the winter, it might also be the last for now.
As you know, I*ve still got my heart set on going to Iceland, hopefully already in November, and yesterday I finally had my job applications corrected for the last time. I had three Icelandic guys read them and tell me what was wrong, (which was a lot, actually) and I paid them off with a beer each.
Now, next week we*ll be doing some tests and then on the 26th. we*re gonna go to Switzerland to see how they run their hotels down there. (apparently, they*re very good at it) After that, we get a week off, which I*m gonna spend at home, and then sometime in the middle of October I*ll be doing the second half of my school term in Copenhagen. I guess, that also means that if anybody wanna stop by Copenhagen, that*ll be the time to do it, but unless Suvi really won the first price in the lottery, like I promised, nobody will have any money to go anywhere interesting for a little while, maybe with the exception of Drifa.
Talking about going places, I really hope Seb will get as much money as possible, so maybe he can get some travelling done and then I just hope Gulli will soon have dug himself out of his financial crisis, so he can get away from Iceland again and pay me back. Alternatively, he can maybe put me up if I get work in Iceland or, as a last resort, give up his favourite sheep to me. I miss sheep. Emil.
