Kind of excited to go home soon but would also like to stay

Wow. I’m going home on Sunday. This was the last Monday I’m here. How did time go by so fast? And what about all the things I still haven’t done, places I haven’t seen, people I haven’t spend enough time with?

Maybe I’ve inherited some of my dear father’s travel fever because it’s kind of getting to me. I’m starting to feel a bit stressed out about all the stuff – good as well as boring need-to-do stuff – before going home. Must buy last couple of Christmas presents. Must empty room and clean unit. Must also try to not leave this place in too much of a hurry and enjoy the last days here.

I still have two papers that I haven’t finished. One of them is almost done but the other one I unfortunately have to finish back in Denmark. There will not be enough time to finish it within this week. AND survive (or well, just not appreciating being here).

This last weekend was all about goodbye and last party. As a break from papers I think I’ll get some pictures uploaded tomorrow ;)

Now I have to sleep. Must take good care of myself, have had a very sore throat today and will try to cure it. With sleep. And ginger tee. And all the funny painkillers I can find overhere.

Two guys taking pictures every 30 step all the way down Younge st in TO

This is a cool video of two guys that walked more the more than 40 km from one end of Younge St. in Toronto to the other.

Last class tonight. Like, last class ever!

I just realized going home from class tonight that I now do not have any more classes – at all! When I get back to CBS I “just” have to get my master thesis done. No classes, just thesis. Wow. That’s kinda crazy. And weird. And different.

I have been in school since I was what, 5 years old? Now I guess I have to start figuring out how NOT to go to school. On the other hand, that’s really quite okay.

The life-changing experiences are really on my tail these years. First moving to live on my own. Then going to Canada for four months. Now – or hopefully sometime next year – finishing school and working. But then that’s what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life. With some breaks. Correction, a lot of breaks :D

Uuh all this reflection, makes me freak out. Going to bed. Good night :)

Calendar lights all around

Today it is the second Advent Sunday (I don’t know how to translate it) and time for my second Advent present :P

I got a calendar light, a very Danish thing, and licorice (also very Danish of course)!! :D Just what I needed. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Collection of calendar lights - mine's the white one in the front

Now we have a whole collection of calendar lights, actually enough for an Advent wreath! And later today I think we’re going to experiment to do some glögg.

Exam + signs of Christmas

Pheew, today I just finished a course! I had a three-hour open book exam in the course Regulation, Government and Socially Responsible Management. I think it went all right but we’ll have to see when I get that grade :S

I treated myself with some shopping for Christmas presents afterwards. Well, not only that. I “accidentally” ended up in Zara. As so often before.

The other day I also went shopping for some Christmas decorations. Some days ago I got a wonderful package from back home with my typical Advent presents – one for each Sunday before Christmas – plus pebernødder (like little pieces of gingerbread). Thanks mom and dad!

Pil and Kirstine have also received some kravlenisser and some other Danish Christmas stuff so I was really getting in the mood. In the mood for MORE! :D

So now there are little signs of Christmas in my room…

Santa in "snow weather"

Tealight candeholders from David's Mom

Scratch card Advent calender (first advent present)

Snowman and Advent presents

Snowman and Advent presents

Stocking for Santa (maybe not that good a place but whatever)

And I also bought a little present for myself to go with my pink relax-pants…

Pink slippers, sooo soft!

Now I think I’ll go to bed. By the way I have begun the book “Mænd der hader kvinder” – thought I’d never get started on it, but finally! :)

Merry Christmas to all and goodnight!
