It's been a while

So I'm clearly a failure at this blogging thing, sorry to those who were eagerly awaiting a new post last week. But I'm no Perez, I don't make a living off of updating, I wish though. Anyways last week I went to Copenhagen for a school trip. We all stayed in a hostel in the sketchiest part of town, but it really wasn't that sketchy, actually pretty tame for Canadian standards. (Although there were many shootings and stuff, I hardly heard a cop car and never saw a crime seen once last week, even though there was a shooting at a restaurant right before we were gonna eat there.)

Anyways it was a cool week, but most of it was all work. We had to act like foreign correspondents located in Copenhagen and each had to find stories about Copenhagen and relate it back to people back home (mine was a story about a closing sex museum of course.) It was really tough but fun, i only really got to see the city on the last two days (where Sunday me and my friend Tabitha did all the typical touristy stuff like see the little mermaid statue in the harbour and check out the royal palace). And if you thought i was slow with updating my blogs than i'm even slower with posting pics.

I don't know what else to say, because this week was all work too. It's been non-stop work that I go home tired and my power naps end up lasting till the morning. Plus i think I have a cold, so that doesn't really help my situation. Oh wait, I did skip class for the first time Friday morning to open a bank account and get a haircut. I don't know if I mentioned this before but everything closes so early, that by the time you get anywhere to do errands after school everything is pretty much getting ready to close up. So you actually have to skip school to get shit done. Even if you are there before the place closes, they will try to persuade you to leave because God forbid no one can stay late after closing. Customer service here is wack, they think your weird when you go up to a sales person/cashier/teller and ask: how are u? (the standard customer banter), even a smile is considered uncommon.

But whatevs, I found teaching non-native-English people North American slang to be really funny and amusing. Although they chose this program to improve their English, I'm pretty sure I'm not helping their cause. But what can you do, they want to learn how we speak back home, so I teach them slang. Tabitha had to explain what a dweeb meant once, it was really funny.
