Fall is coming, I’m busy, busy! Went up north for the weekend

School is really tough! They mean business over here. Not that I wasn’t busy in Copenhagen, but this is kind of crazy.

We have a lot assignments, especially in this course I’m taking Monday nights – Technology & Organizational Strategy. The professor is quite demanding! It’s a good course, but a lot of work!

And then there’s the thing about participation – it’s part of your final grade. Back to high school, eh?

So last weekend I went up north with Hans & Clare to their cottage. Nice, relaxing, quiet – wonderful I still had to do a lot of school work but it was so great to get break from busy city TO-life and.

The cottage is close to Shelbourne and Orange Ville, situated in the middle of a forest, sorrounded by threes. Loved it.

 

Love those all red leaves

 

The rest of the week will be spend on assignments, reading, preparing to go to New York with Holme next week , celbrating Kirstine’s birtday and then we’ll se about eating and sleeping… Drinking won’t be a problem though

Arrived in my new city

Well, suddenly I landed. Felt weird. Very overwhelming.

I got up at 4 in the morning yesterday, had breakfest with David and then took the metro to the airport. My parents came and said goodbye and I met Kirstine, Pil and Lars who were also going to Toronto yesterday. To more girls, Arndis and Emilie, is coming also to study at Ryerson.

Then we flew to Frankfurt, got something to eat AND COFFEE! And right after that we went over to the gate where the plane to Canada waited, got onboard and flew for about 8 hours. When we landed we had to go through immigration but that didn’t take long. We then picked up our luggage and went out where we met Hans and Clare who I’m staying with for the first week.

The Great Dane (Hans) felt sorry for my friends, so after driving me and Clare back to their house he was so kind to go back to the airport, pick up the others and drove them to their hotel, hostel and friend. Thank you for that, Hans.

In the evening I had a good time with Hans and Clare, just having supper and talking over a glass (or more) of wine. At about 8 o’clock I was sent to bed  – I was so tired. There’s a 6 hour time difference from Denmark, so at 8 it was actually around 2 o’clock Danish time and I had not slept that much on the plane. So I went to bed in my cosy room in a good bed and fell asleep imediately.

Today I woke up early at around 6.30 Canadian time, so actually I slept in considering when I went to bed! Got up and had breakfest with Hans and Clare who usually eats breakfast at this early hour(!!!) – but that was perfect today.

Later today I’m meeting up with Lars, Pil and Kirstine and we’re going to have a look at the city and Ryerson University. That’s gonna be sooo exciting because right now I’ve only seen the city from Hans’ car on the way to their house. So I don’t really feel like being a long way from home since I’m right now sitting in their lovely living room in a nice chair feeling very comfortable with a big cup of coffee standing on the small table next to me. You know, I just got on a plane yesterday, walked around in some airport terminals and really didn’t spend that much time outside until I got to the house that’s a little outside Toronto.

So later on today I guess it will maybe occur to me that I am indeed far, far away from home!

Lets’ see…
