Fastelavn Fun

Happy Valentines Day! More importantly Happy Festelavn!

Last night I went to a party at a Koligium. (Dansk version of a dorm/apartment style living shared between like 600 kids from many different Universities all over Copenhagen). It was to celebrate the Danish adored holiday of Festelavn. The Dane's do not mess around with the seriousness of their costumes. I wish I had my camera to fully capture what I saw last night. Picture 1,000 College students in costume raging in a school facilitated building rocking out to a band, and two different DJ's with basically free beer all night! I was there with probably 10 other DIS students. All of them are second semester students and I was the only newby. It was a lot of fun. I didn't get home this morning until 6am. I was so tired it was incredible.

At the beginning of the night I had just returned from Malmo and wasn't planning on going out. I started my weekend cleaning duties and then the next thing I new I was getting ready to go to club Vega. Club Vega is one of the top dance clubs in all of Europe. I was really excited to see it...and then I went to my first real Festelavn party. Once in a lifetime experience I think. The best I can do to describe it is mayhem.

Sweden was really fun. While we didn't do much other then walk around it was nice to visit another country. We were a little confused by the money situation...Turns out there's Danish Kroner and Swedish Kroner...the difference who knows but now I'm stuck with 90 Swedish Kroner & I can't spend it here. While on our visit to Malmo we visited a candy store, a shopping mall and a small cafe for dinner. I bought a few pairs of warm socks and also a new pair of mittens and Swedish chocolate of coarse. Next time we go to Malmo we're going to plan on visiting the chocolate factory! Yum!

For now I must finish my cleaning duties...make a trip to the gym & then do homework alllllll night. I am forever behind in my studio class and really have no idea how to attack my project. I don't even have a metric scale yet, and I have no glue, so my  model making is being put on a hold until tomorrow. As I've mentioned nothing is open on Sunday. I need to start doing my must-have for homework shopping on Friday's or Saturday's so that I can manage to actually get some homework done on Sundays. Maybe next weekend...A Bourret might becoming next weekend to Denmark to celebrate his 21st birthday with me!!! Alex if you are reading this YOU HAVE TO COME! : ]
