So I've been working on travel plans and things of that sort, and it's actually really quite the pain to get all the details hammered out. I really am understanding the purpose of travel agents. Trying to book two weeks of travel, with planes, trains, places to stay, and things to do is kind of an overwhelming task. Luckily, we have a group together, and we were able to break it down. Britt, Emily, Ryan (perhaps???????????????), and I are gonna have an unreal two week break. Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Prague is a pretty solid goal at this point. The first few spots are still a point of contention, but this is basically what's going down. Before I even go on this trip, I have a week in London, and weekends to Oslo and either Stockholm or Krakow. I've been in Denmark for a month, it's bout time to do some serious exploring. That's all I got on this front.
But last night.. Last night I have things to discuss about. Alright, so it was a Thursday, and on Thursdays I have seven hours of class. I know, it's hell, because I can't even skip one or two like I would normally back at GAC. So Thursdays are incredibly long typically, but this week it was even longer. We had a field study for a class where we went to VEGA Concert Hall and watched a free concert and got free beer. Maybe field study isn't the best word they could have used to describe this. But anyway, we saw FM Belfast. To put it bluntly, it was probably a top three show that I have ever seen. I've never seen any band this energetic on stage, and I've never seen a concert where literally every person standing at any spot in the room was 100% all into it. The point of this paragraph was entirely to shamelessly plug this awesome band, whom everyone needs to get on. There music is almost misleading, because they sound kind of trippy on their CD, but live they just rock so hard. It is quite the change up, and it is definitely for the better.
Other than this, I still had a noteworthy Thursday. This week, Thursday was election day. Denmark was getting a new prime minister and a new parliament. I have a political rhetoric class on Friday mornings at 8:30am (my only class of the day). My professor for this class works as the campaign manager for the Social Democrat Party, whose candidate was leading the polls for new prime minister. As soon as it looked like the SDP had locked it up, he sent out an email saying that we won't have class tomorrow morning because he is going to be too drunk from the victory cele (much paraphrasing of course). So in one day, I had a professor bring us to a night club for class and another cancel class on account of him partying too hard. Reasons #123897 and #123898 why I love Denmark.
That being said, it's the weekend. Time for some brewery tours. Peace out.
