University

So, I’m back to school again.. back to books, waking up early, breaks, classmates, and teachers. Judging from the past 3 days I’ve been going to school, so far so good. I’m taking up International Communication and Multimedia. I’ve always wanted to take Multimedia but also marketing so I was lucky to find this with the International Communication part since marketing is part of our syllabus. But yeah, thing is, since I missed the first two weeks of class, I’m  a little behind, academically and socially. I have to catch up on some reading and in my Media Production class I have to make a website, from scratch, as in wrting it by hand, but with the help of Dreamweaver.. hehe.. Anyways, socially, everyone else is in their own little groups, I had some casual conversations with some but that’s how far it got. But hey, I’m not giving up just yet.

Even though education here in Denmark is free, we have to pay for books, which is really fucking expencive. Just for this semseter I had to pay for 2992kr ($578) worth of books and this is only for this 1st semester. Haiiii…

I have also moved into my apartment. It’s weird having a place of your own, unlike the boarding school where you have your friends next door, food is served, and things are cleaned for you. Here, my friends aren’t next door, I have to cook my own food (buy them too!) and clean up after myself. This kind of independece didn’t hit me until I felt this weird feeling in my stomach, like this big hole getting bigger and bigger.. I think some people call it hunger? But yeah, it hit me even harder when I was buying a toilet brush. I am now totally alone, in this new apartment, in this new city, and new school.

Wish me luck.

busy bee

I’ve been travelling alone for years now, big and small airports, having less than 30 mins to catch my next plane, hardcore security checks, fucked up tickets, etc.. you get the point. BUT I have NEVER missed a flight…. until last week. I read the time wrong on my ticket from Hong Kong to Denmark, so yeah, I missed my flight. Ironic thing about this whole situation though was that I was totally sober, because for the past 4 times I left Palawan I was drunk and nothing happen, but this time I was totally sober, not even a drop of alcohol has been in my mouth within the last 24 hours then I miss a flight.

I really don’t know how I could have read the time wrong. So yeah, I was stranded in Manila, luckily I realized this in Manila, if I still flew to Hong Kong and realized that I missed my flight I would have been a lot more screwed.

So, I spent two nights in Manila with my moms friend, trying to figure out how to go back to Denmark, my dads solution was I fly to Oman and then from there fly to Denmark. So I flew to Oman and spent 11 days there. It was nice, Muscat (capital city) was like a city in the middle of the dessert, with temperatures no lower than 40′C. They had nice beaches, thing is it was Ramadan while I was there, so all shops were closed in the afternoon and there were no restaurants open until 7pm. But yeah, I got to see my parents again, especially my dad coz I didn’t get to spend much time with him while he was in Denmark for my graduation.

The bad thing about this whole situation, apart from wasting money, was that I was missing the first weeks of university. I missed Introduction week and the first week and a half of classes. So on Monday I have to go to some classes and then buy books, meet people.. etc… then I have to run to the other side of town to hand in my contract for my new apartment, get the keys, go to my apartment and check it out then take the train to my friends place (where I’m staying now) and get my stuff, then take the train back to my apartment and settle down. It will be a busy Monday for me.. I just hope I don’t look like a dumbass.

SO yeah, wish me luck!

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 :)
