I'm lazy.. Autumn's here.
I've been vaccinated against flue, I'm eating all the right stuff, even take my vitamins, sleep about 8 hours a day.. but stopped running.. which is bad. Probably this is why I feel so lazy. I haven't got to the point when I can say I'm sick of myself, but I'm not too far from it either. So starting from tomorrow, I'll get a pass at FirstFitness.dk.. that should be fun.
Here's darker and darker.. The sun rises completely at about 8 am and starts setting at around 16:30 pm.. but even this is hard to notice, usually the sky is too cloudy and gray to see where the sun is. During week I don't care a lot about this, I leave home when it's almost dark, and come back on dark, also. At the office time passes by very fast, I barely have time to look through the window. Sometimes, if it's clear, I get blinded by the sun, but I'm not complaining too much, I'm just happy that I can see it. About the darkness, I just like to think that the day is the same as before in length, only the night got longer, as a kind of bonus for me :)).. so now my day is 30 hours long. It's a bit harder in the weekends, when I can actually count the hours and see how little light I get. Usually at 5 pm I get very sleepy.
And I'm not complaining about the rain either. After all, it's only water, can't be that bad :p
What else? My picasa account is almost 100% full, so I will need to create a new one.. Will upload some pics as soon as I stop being lazy.

Tivoli Reloaded

Yet Another Late Update

- 2 weeks ago (or maybe 3?) I moved to my new room, somewhere in Copenhagen's suburbs, a nice small town called Lyngby.
- Despite of the rest of the inhabitants there, I don't own a car, 2 kids and a dog, and I live in a shared apartment, together with 3 Danish guys and a Polish one. All working people, very busy during week, sometimes I don't even notice I'm living with somebody else over there.
- I don’t have internet at home yet, but planning to get some soon. Probably this is why I’ve been so lazy and posted nothing lately.
I'm now 30 mins away from my work, and 20 mins (by train) away from city center. After bringing all my stuff, I realized I still need some shopping to do, so went to IKEA to buy a plant and a lamp.
- Moreover (but I'm still not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing), 3 mins from me there's a huuuuge mall called StorCenter, with lots of shops and places to eat out.. the ideal place where to "get lost" after a hard day of work. Also the perfect place where to spend a lot of money :)
- It's amazing how small things make me so happy: a few days ago, I managed to assemble some boxes that I use to keep my stuff in, following some simple instructions. Could it be becuse the boxes were pink? Also, going to laundry and understanding how the washing machines and dryers work there (there are complicated rules about detergent, coins, choosing the program..), without using a dictionary or asking someone, felt like winning the lottery, even though I was the one paying for the laundry..
- After a one week break, I'm now back to my old healthy habits: badminton and yoga once a week, plus running in the rest of the days. I just hope the weather will be nice enough for me to continue running in the park at evenings. It's already getting darker and darker, and the autumn rain is not as easy to put up with, like the summer one :(
- Tivoli closed 2 weeks ago. They will take a break until Halloween, so before closing they had the crazy week, with lots of discounts and free rides. Of course, I was there to take advantage of all of that, together with my new friend from Ukraine, Irina, also an AIESEC intern. I can now proudly state that I did most of the adults rides, including some that were for kids. We had lots of fun and pictures.
- Wine tasting event, organized by AIESEC. Tried 5 tasty red wines from northern and central Italy, cool atmosphere, and very nice presented.
- Seen Get Smart movie for the second time (I saw it a few months for the first time). The problem is that I couldn’t remember I’ve seen it before until I was at the cinema, and looked at some posters. Makes me wonder if I’m starting to have memory problems or if the movie was so common (entertaining, but still common), that it didn’t worth “storing” it, and simply “deleted” it?
- Also, seen Eagle Eye a week ago. The event was organized by the Club Sports and More from Microsoft. It was fun, but it’s now in the process of being deleted as well… :)
(pictures will come soon!!)
