i don't think i've ever had to blow my nose so much.. ever!

Dragonforce was awesome!! I was worried I might not like them so much because everyone else was saying they didn't but I knew Paulo liked them so he took my extra ticket and we went to Vega last Tuesday night. The first band that played were a Finnish 'Battle Metal' band. Hehe, they were pretty funny with their red and black body paint and dressed in fur and armour. Their songs sounded a little Irish to me with a wailing violin and ocordian and I could just imagine a medieval army marching to battle to their songs. Then came Dragonforce and they did not disappoint. The crowd were a little young and nerdy but were into the epic guitar playing. The band make it look easy while jumping and joking around on stage. The New Zealand guitar player got extremely drunk again, swilling down bottles of beer at every opportunity and this time I actually thought that it hindered his playing and noticed he missed at least one solo. But it was an enjoyable evening and I went to bed very tired..

Only to wake up on Wednesday morning with a cold.. what?? me sick! I was not surprised with my hectic lifestyle and got on my bike to school to sit my 2nd semester exam. I was hoping the teachers would feel sorry for me being sick but I don't think they noticed. It did make me a little less nervous though and I got through it quickly with an average grade that I expected for the very little work I put into it. I was just very happy to have it over with and then went with Sune to an art gallery in town to meet with Borgar. The art was pretty good, it was all painted and drawn on the actual walls of the gallery because Sune said something about the artists not being able to afford the art materials..? Then we went to get something to eat before heading home.

Thursday I felt even worse but I thought I'd go to school and then head to the pharmacy for some relief. I sat through as much school as I could handle then of course I should have known that I am in Denmark and things aren't as easy as going to the shop to buy some decongestant. Apparently you have to get a prescription for that stuff here?? Stuff that. So I downed some paracetamol and antihistamines instead and headed to my bed.

Friday I was feeling okay so it was back to school for more 3ds max training. This is pretty hard stuff to learn and don't even let me start about how frustrated I am right now but I'll get into that later.. I had a short meeting with Travis regarding our project and then headed to the Friday Bar =D It was pretty quiet, we even got a booth to hang in but more and more people turned up and a little party started. It's funny how many people turn up on a Friday after the classes have finished hehe. I ended up going into the city with some of the Danish students and had a great time partying up at the surf bar drinking white russians.

Then on Saturday I discovered that colds and hangovers do not mix! I had a very quiet day and decided to stay in that night to so that I could get up and call home. It was tempting to go out and meet up with Phong but I got a lot of parties coming up the next few weeks so thought I would just chill out. Sunday I tried to ring home and was nice to talk to Mum and James but very frustrating as my network connection kept cutting off and disconnecting my calls. It was a weird feeling not being hung over on a Sunday and I was actually quite productive. I had to go get my bike from school and then went shopping and baked a cake.

Monday I went to school and we had some interesting lectures on gaming. We have a very funny teacher who is teaching us this and doesn't like computer games at all :-P Then it was off to work and then home to work more on my 3d picture. I got very frustrated as the book we have is version 6.0 from 2003 and we are working with 3ds max 2009!! It helps a lot to have someone to help you so was good to go to school today and get more lessons. I was hoping to have the image finished so that I could post here as there is a big lack of pictures this week but I have one little error I don't know how to fix grrrr! But i am determined and it will be done!

Anyways I have a very early start tomorrow and should be in bed. Will find some pictures to pretty this up tomorrow. Laters.
