a week of extremes..

Well it's getting a bit late to be blogging now as it's Tuesday and getting hard to remember last week already. It was a crazy busy week, that I do remember!
People getting let go from work of course means more work for the ones left and with parental leave and sickness added in meant that I pulled a few late nights at work. We also had to hand in our assignment on Friday at school so most days I was working hard at school, then biking straight to work until 7, 8 or even 9 at night and then back home to do some more school work. In fact Thursday I did this and didn't get to sleep until 1am, working 15 hours almost straight.

So I was very much looking forward to Friday! We did our presentation first and then I stayed to watch the other groups before heading to work. There was an Octoberfest party later that night at school so no Friday bar. I finished work at 6pm and headed to the Friday bar there to meet with all the peeps gathering to have some drinks with Harold on his last day. Of course my plan to go home and get changed before meeting at The Office didn't happen so instead it was a burger on the way.. It was great at The Office bar with so many people from work there. I was introduced to one of the barmen whom is from Hamiltron! And he made me yummy Moscow Mule cocktails, made all the more special because of the rarity of ginger beer in Denmark. We got kicked out of there at 2am and the hardcore bunch left got on our bikes and headed into the centre of the city to Copenhagen Jazz House. I thought this was going to be great when I first got there as they were playing nice music but then it turned into the same hip hop crap that most places play. It was a great last night with Harold and Marta and I realised when I got home at 6am that I had been partying 12 hours.

Saturday then was sleep day. It felt so good to sleep in most of the day and then just relax at home. I watched the first episode of the 17th series of Survivor. I also watched some episodes of the new Americas Next Top Model and think that the people are so smart to show these programmes in the winter. Sunday I woke up and it was raining, boo! I talked for a looong time to Mum and James though which was really nice, cleaned up a bit and did my laundry and then the sun came out, yah! So I could get on my bike to the shop and then across town to Christiania to hang out with Sina a bit. When I came home I watched a movie we are to watch for school, Goodbye Lenin. It is a sweet film set in the time that the Berlin wall came down in East Germany. I have 2 more to watch and very much look forward to them. Der Himmel Uber Berlin (Wings of Desire) and Der Untergang (Downfall).

Monday we got introduced to our new assignment at school and it looks like it is going to be much more interesting than the last. We are to design an alternative travel guide for Berlin. This will be in the way of a podcast and website. Then we do some print design in the way of a billboard, business cards and another product of our choice. So we are finally gonna concentrate and have a lot of learning on design! Also the website is to be made in flash which means actionscripting, sure to satisfy the code geek in me =) I went to work for 4 hours then went to meet with Marta and Harold and some others to say goodbye =( I am really going to miss them. Harold is a wonderful rare person who is always happy and full of energy. And both him and Marta are genuine, fun, lovely people. It is sad to say goodbye but good now I have a reason to visit Barcelona!!

Well I'm sorry it is so boring with no media or photos but as you can probably tell I have been very busy. Just wait for the image bonanza after I've been to Berlin!! =)
