No, but really. At approximately 7 pm last night I finished taking the lsat exam, and at approximately 7:01 I popped the cork out of a bottle of wine I had conveniently stored in my bag and started to drink in order to forget about the fact that my mind just got destroyed by a four hour logic test. Anyway, I clearly was overcompensating for the fact that I have not been out in weeks, due to work and studying. While my plan of intense celebration seemed brilliant at the time, my drinking stamina these days is sadly quite low. Translation: Talia and I passed out on her couch at 11 pm without ever actually going out, and then she woke me up at 2:30 am (saving me from the awkward walk of shame in the morning) and told me I needed to leave. Somehow I left Oresunds Kollegium, found my way to the metro, and up all 5908143280 stairs to my apartment.
One really cool perk to my job is the fact that I get to travel (for free!) I basically plan study tours to Brussels, Den Hague, and Germany for each semester and then I get to accompany the students on their trip to see the ICTY criminal cases, Parliament buildings, and all of the European Union offices. I finally finished the planning of my program's trip to Brussels and Den Hague on Friday and I'm going to The Netherlands and Belgium at the end of the week! While DIS interns get to go on these academic trips every semester, we also get to take little trips to other places as well. For instance, at the beginning of the semester we went to Southern Sweden in order to learn about 'emergency situations' that may arise on these trips. While we are always prepared for the worst - I was deathly scared of losing a student in Brussels or having someone develop some weird psychotic disease and having to find a French hospital - the only problem that I have encountered was an incident where a student sexiled his four roommates in a hostel. So I'm hoping that my luck continues!!! Here's to wishful thinking.
This morning, after waking up with a terrible hangover from my crazy night out, I had to drag my ass over to Christianhavn Metro (and no, it was not to go to Christiania). I went kayaking through Copenhagen! We were suited up in these ridiculous suits and life vests, and let me assure you all, we were lookin fine. Since I've never been kayaking before, I was forced into a double kayak which I complained about for a hot second before I realized that the double was truly the way to go. When Eugene (a fellow intern) wasn't paying attention to me in the back of the boat, I would slyly stop paddling the kayak and let him do all of the work. Before we took off on our two hour journey, the guide told us that there is always one person in every group that falls into the water on one of these tours. I know what you are all thinking - and no, I was as dry as one could be after kayaking for two hours and NOT falling into the freezing cold Baltic Sea water. Yay!!!
BTW: did you know that MGMT has a new song out with Kid Cudi??? best day of my life ever!
