Yikes!

As I am settling into a routine it is getting harder to remember to write these posts. I may try going back to doing one every day so it is on my mind more. We'll see about that. This week has been nice, although it has gone by very quickly. I did not play Frisbee Monday or Wednestday, nor have I since the first timeter, as I am busy with classes and want to fill my free time doing other things that I could not do back at home. Also it will save me 500 kr. Monday and Tuesday were pretty average this week, I am still enjoying all my classes. Yesterday I was planning to stay home and finally get on top of/ahead on my homework, but of course it had to go an be beautiful out, so after going to the National Museum for a Danish assignment, I headed north of the city to check out Dyrehaven, the old royal hunting park (after a brief stop at a bakery that sells giant cinnamon rolls for 15 Kr on Wednesdays. Yum). I went with Jordan, who I knew previously because she is staying with a host family close to me, and Tory, who is one of Jordan's friends back at Conn College. Alison and Julie were maybe going to join us, but were distracted by a sale at some store, and did not make it up. Oh! I just remembered on Tuesday afternoon it was also nice so I got to go up in the spiral steeple of Our Saviours Church and savor a nice view of the city, and Tuesday night I went over to Audra's house because she wanted to interview me for one of her classes. Her host sister had some friends over for a sleepover, so we hung out and drank hot cocoa and ate Floedbolle, then I ran home in the rain because I didn't want to wait for the bus and I didn't listen to my host family who suggested I should just bike there, as it was close and I wouldn't get lost. Next time I'll know better. Anyways, Dyrehaven was lovely, with nice big beach trees and lovely paths. We found a giant oak that was hollowed out so you could stand in it, so that was pretty cool too. We wandered through Bakken, which is the oldest amusement park in the world, but unfortunately it was already closed for the season, and it was sort of eerie to walk through it. We did not see any deer (dyre=deer) but evidence was scattered all over the ground, if you know what i mean.
I meant poop.
When I got back I started regretting not working all day instead, because my Renewable Energy professor, who always assigns LOTS of reading, had done it again. Due today: watch a 1.5 hour documentary, a .5 hour documentary, write a response about the longer one, and also read 50 pages. Ugh. Also I have my first test for this class on Monday, which includes a short paper that I need to do ahead of time. In case you have forgotten, I am going to be away all weekend on a biking trip, so Sunday is night is going to be fun. Looking a little further ahead, my friend Francesca, from Chewonki, is studying this year in London, but will be in Copenhagen for a few hours on Tuesday, so hopefully I can see her then.
Anyways, I know what you're all thinking now. You're thinking "wow. he just goes on and on. I don't know how much more rambling I can take!" So fear not, I'm just about done now, and you can look at pictures instead of read after one last thing. Just want to give a shout out to my lovely Wells who has sent me two letters so far. I love getting mail from everybody, and if you send me a letter, I will do my best to reply promptly, assuming I can figure out how to send mail. Address mail to Tavo True-Alcala c/o DIS, Danish Institute for Study Abroad, Vestergade 7 DK-1456 Copenhagen K, Denmark. OK, OK, I'm done now. Enjoy the pictures and the rest of your day!
