Tiddling around in Copenhagen

Well, as usual, my family is keeping me plenty busy!

After a couple of days of work we had a nice weekend, my aunt's boyfriend had his birthday which went very well. I also got to go have dinner and movie time with my other cousins Stig and Anne, which was very fun. Ridiculous Canadian and a giggly stringbean of a Dane. I love my family.

And Sunday I was brought over to Copenhagen by my aunt Jette and uncle Per, who I have seen more recently in the States. Their house is the same as it always was - nice and old and comfy and full of interesting books and old furniture. Strangely one of the only houses I've ever been in without snacks, thank the lord ^_^

I have taken a couple of walks, but haven't gone too far afield. My aunt and uncle have been working pretty full time, so lots of self-entertaining, which is just fine with me. Tons of films to watch, lots of books to read and LOTS of studying to do.

Class started this week, and hooooo boy, it's going to be hard work. Danish uses a huge amount of German and English, so the grammar and vocabulary is much much easier than other languages I've tried to learn, but the pronunciation? Holy. Moly. I've read a joke before that it's easier to speak danish with a potato in your mouth - sadly, it's almost true. I'm not sure that that many vowels are allowed in a mouth at the same time >.< Bleh

But I shall prevail! My class is full of either college students or young professionals. A Greek kid, a Hungarian girl, an Italian guy, a Finnish guy, an Iranian guy, and Icelandic girl, two German girls, one British guy, a Chinese girl, two French guys, one Dutch guy, and another American girl... yeah, we're a good mix. Everyone is very nice though, and the group I'm sitting in is (naturally) the peanut gallery of the class, so we're having a high old time. My teacher called me out on speaking German the first day because of my wonky pronunciations >.<>

Anywho, that's about all I have to report for now. I'll be buying my return-home tickets sometime in the next week or two, so that info will also be available shortly, hehe. Now, to get all of my Morocco photos online...
