falling down the stairs kinda hurts
Studying
It’s going good. Been studying Biology and Economics for the past week. However I didn’t go to any of my morning classes this week because I just wasn’t physically capable of waking up so freaking early in the morning.. but yeah, today was suppose to be the last day of classes, but noooo… I have extra Biology and Economics classes next week for 3 days, thank god it’s in the afternoon though.
University
Now I’m having second thoughts. My first choice is in a very small town here in Denmark. The thought of living in a small town depresses me. I have two options:
1) Live in the small town and be miserable.
2) Live in the big city but have to travel an hour to go to school.
being miserable VS waking up early in the morning??
That’s a tough one.
Oh well, I don’t have to think about it now, hell, I don’t even know if I’ll get my first choice!
Anyways… enough school talk.
Life
It’s going good. I can’t believe I’m soo close to being done with school. In less than a month I’ll be done with all my exams. ALL MY EXAMS. When I think about it it’s still pretty distant, but when I really think about it it’s soo close. To add on to it, right after graduation my friends and I are off to China and Philippines, now that’s something I really can’t wait for.. The sand, the beach, the parties, the weather.. ahhh…. But in the middle of our vacation we’ll find out how bad me fucked up in our exams if we passes the IB.
Anticipation is a bitch.
Love
Under construction.
Craving:
Oreos, Ice cream, and fermented tofu. Oreos I managed to buy with the coins I found under my pocket. The rest I just have to keep dreaming about.
Basically, I’m alive and breathing and in debt. Waiting desperately for my student support money and my pay check.
Take care and have a nice weekend

study smarter
So, this week I started studying for my exams which starts on the 5th of May. For the first time since…. well, for the first time EVER I am studying way before exams as opposed to the day before exam. One would think that after 12 years of school I should have mastered the art of studying but the truth is, I haven’t, I think it may have gotten even worse. Procrastinating is worse than ever before as well. But yeah, I used to study the day before exams and I got average grades or a little under average. Hopefully, somehow this would get me good grades.
Lately however, I’ve just been soo lazy. For almost two weeks, going to school was something I did on my free time. I dunno if it’s becuase I know I only have a week left of classes, but still, waking up in the morning is hard. Anyways, as of now, exams are my biggest priority.
After exams however, I have a month of doing nothing but celebrate and work until graduation day. Try to make as much money as I can before my friends and I go off to our little Asia trip. Two weeks in China and then a month (for me) in the Philippines. Man, I am looking forward to it soo much. The weather, the beach, my friends, the environmnet .*sigh*. Plus it’ll probabaly be the last time I’ll be going there for a long time.
2.5 months more

Mac or PC?
To switch or not to switch?
I’ve been contemplaitng on the idea of switching to a Mac for the past couple of months. Since school is almost over and I’m about to start university, I need a new computer because my present computer is:
(a)really REALLY slow
(b) shuts down randomly
(c) 30GB hard drive
(d) battery life of around 10 minutes.
I’ve had it for almost 3 years now and I’ve had to reformat it twice and sent it for repair once.. but still. I can’t keep up with the whole anti-virus, anti-spywear, and firewall stuff. Scanning my computer once a week. I just want a computer where I can write stuff on, listen to music, store pictures, go online.. and not take 5 minutes to boot up.
So now, I’ve considered switching to a MacBook. No hassle with anti virus stuff, the magnetic cord (which I think is the best, I can’t even count anymore how many times I’ve tripped over the wire, so far my computer only fell twice), it’s userfriendly (from what I’ve read about). I dunno, I just want one that’s hassle free and fast and so far a MacBook seems to be it. I’ve been reading reviews and watchiing videos about MacBooks and so far, I like it.
Thing is, I’ve been using a PC all my life. I don’t think I even remember touching a Mac. Ok, maybe back in 5th grade in the library, I was sitting infront of a Mac and couldn’t really figure out how to work the mouse coz it just looked like a really pretty glass paper weight.. but I am willing to make the change.
So if anyone has ANY suggestion on what laptop I should get or why I shouldn’t get a Mac tell me.. I still have 5 months before I’m off to University so yeah.. lot’s of time.

Goodbye Livejournal, Hello WordPress!!
Goodbye Livejournal, Hello WordPress!
I have officially moved to WordPress. This is it. No more turning back. I’ve decided to move to WordPress for several reasons, which I’d rather keep to myself. So yeah. For the past month or so I’ve been thinking about moving, but then letting go of my LiveJournal was hard. Not only has it given me 230 hours of CAS but it pretty much got me through my life so far here in Denmark.
So let my first blog be something about Denmark.
Even though I am Danish, my dad is Danish, I have a Danish passport.. I don’t feel Danish at all. The move to Denmark was big. First of all, I can’t speak the language, I don’t know much about their culture, plus I will have full on independence.. I HAVE NO ONE TO WATCH OVER ME. This I abused for the first couple of months, it took a while for me to learn how to live by myself. Have boundaries, do my own laundry, voluntarily do my homework, study, manage money, in other words be responsible. It never really hit me until I found myself in the police station trying to get a new passport. It was weird because usually I’d never have to do this. My parents are always there to help me, all I have to do was sign the paper and viola! Passport.
It started to sink in even more when I went to the dentist by myself, the doctor, the pharmacy, calibrating my birthday without my parents. The worst was when I got sick. It was really lonely. No one was there to take care of me or pat my head, rub my tummy. I had to deal with it myself. Even when I threw up, no one was there to pull my hair back (so you could just imagine the mess).
However there are good thing. Other than learning to become more responsible, after trial and error with the laundry (black, white, or colored), living with no money for weeks. I have to honestly say that my relationship to my family became better. Back at home I’ve never really appreciated my parents or my brother than much. My mom and I got into fights, especially about the whole curfew issue. But now, since I only get to see them twice a year, it’s gotten better. I’ve learn to tell them “I love you” and there are less fights going on. and yeah, as much as I want to go back home, I know that this is what is best for me and them.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this post. There is no moral or anything. Just saying, life here in Denmark has changed me (not just my alcohol tolerance) but there are things I’ve learn about myself and stuff that I’ve been curious about and of course met some awesome people. However, I don’t see myself living here for the rest of my life. After almost half my life moving around, I have this itch. I want to move! I want to see another country and experience a whole new culture. But yeah, the issue: money, money, money…
oh well. that’s all for now, I think I already wrote too much.
