Amsterdam

Early this year I decided that there was no way I should go home without first partying in Amsterdam for a while.  Plans fell through many times, but alas, I knew I would eventually make it.  I travelled with my oldest host brother, Ivan.

I travelled by train for about 13 hours, starting the journey around 8pm, and luckily getting a nice ca

bin in the train to sleep in.  Six people sleep in each cabin so space is cramped.  I was very very sore upon wakening and actually throughout the whole trip my arms were hurting really badly.  But we got there ok, without getting lost, and found ourselves a nice little hotel.

This is what our street looked like.  In both directions there where numorus shops with all types of colorful items inside :S  Also there were lots of cheap restaurants and coffee shops (the Dutch type)  all around.  It was really an experience that I don't think I will soon forget.  This picture was taken out of our window.

We did many things in Amsterdam during our short 3 day trip.  This included seeing the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house.  We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and took many boat rides through the canals.  

Overall the trip was a success and nobody was killed nor injured except for my leg which took a beating from the paddle boat that we rented.  Not much of a story behind that.  If you guys have any questions please feel free to write a comment.  I know that I have not posted in a long time.  I will post again soon.

I Want You

I'm cracking up over this and want to write it down.

I'm sitting in biology class watching a video and the teacher walks up... so I pause the video.  He hands me a work sheet and says, "I want you..." I wait for a few seconds waiting for the rest of the sentence.  I assumed he would say "...to work with" or "...to work on", but no, that was all he said before saying it's a Bob Dylan song.

... Ok???

Then I just laughed because... like seriously, what was that about. haahahahaha^^

fun stuff

:)

Hair cut for Gallafest

Granted this video really doesn't have anything fun in it... but I figure some day down the road I might want to watch it.

AT again

So, we have AT again.  It is very difficult for me to do AT because it is a synapsis on a particular subject and I don't know how to write a synapsis, especially a danish one.  So I have been spending all of my time in "the tower of knowledge" as I call it.  I have been researching the Spanish Civil War durning 1936-1939.

More on "the tower of knowledge".  It is a large glass box with two stories in the middle of our school, the only second floor on our whole school.  Inside there are free printers and copying machines as well as quite a few laptops out on the tables... about 30.  The nice thing is that it is amazingly quite inside and you can look down on students as they pass on either side.  Since my school doesn't really have hallways you can see almost the whole school from inside.  Fun fun!

Yesterday I put my hand down on a plant that attacked me... it wasn't nor is it now very nice feeling.  I feel now like my hand is asleep and i have little red dots all over it.  Yesterday it burned and itched sooo bad that I had to fall asleep to ignore it.  I asked my friends right after it happened and they said that it was not deadly, so I hope that it goes away soon and I can go back to normal life.

Today I have piano which I am not looking forward to.  I have no way to practice because so often the only piano I can use has a class using it or other students or it is locked up.  All of those things are really annoying.

welp, back to class for a bit

Our Electric Lawnmower +++

First off, I'm tired of all my posts having to be memorable adventures.  I don't do that much that stands out for me anymore.  Here is what is on my plate, and how I think of things here.

I have to do a paper for sprogskole on libraries in denmark.  Only one page should be good enough.

I just sent a package home including stuff I don't need and college forms so I can get those to B-W now.

I need to practice bassoon after dinner, right after dinner and not put it off until it's too late.

I have decided not to join Uffe and the guys at Beerfest this year.  Sorry but 300kr. entry fee is a bit steep even if we do have open bar.  Plus I have no team, and might not know very many people there.

Then I can go to sleep, probably around... 2 am.

Today so far has been really nice.  We ate outside in the back yard on a picnic table we own.   Boris is gone, and I don't really know where, but I have been gone for the last 3 days at Uffe's house sleeping on the couch.

I noticed today that our lawn mower was powered with a cable plugged in.  All I can think is how many times I would run over that cable and electrocute myself if I mowed.  I am not sure if it is good or bad, just an observation that I had never even thought of.  

Well, goodbye

I want to... before I leave... visit some of the surrounding countries.  Including Germany and The Netherlands.  I would love to see Paris also.

I am working on it.
