Yesterday I biked to Island Brygge – across the city – to cutest baptism party for baby Frida. I scoop for dressy danes and they are so pleased. I could look at everyones outfits all day. My gosh these people are easy on eyes. Today I bike to other side of city, Fredriksberg, to Food Science at Kobenhavns Universitet. Some guy got his Phd, I got saddle sores from biking there. You win, sir. Maria and I scoop salty caramel IS for 3 hours. That wasn’t too bad now was it EMILY!!?
I get back to the carnage that is my room in the apartment. Theres clothing everywhere. Theres banana peels and is that a pizza box (?) under that sweater?. Niels Bohr texts from Scotland that he and the lads are still alive after 5 days in the highlands. Me? I can’t say the same. I send a photo of my room and explain I think I am almost comatose. Alas – a break is coming soon, right?! I still don’t clean my room, but I do sleep 9 hours. AHHHH.

I show up for my volunteer shift at 11.00 and meet partner Simona from Lithuania. We pat down people coming into the festival for 8hrs. It’s a nonstop head to toe squat session, and its awkward as hell – touching strangers at first. Then I get used to it. We have become pat down machines!!! We are told to confiscate foods because theyre not allowed to bring outside food in. Fine by ME. We check out of our shift at 19.00 and take said confiscated chips with us. Simona and I trot around with Mikkeller beers (free,TAK) and Kims chips. We also collect more pants (because – free money people!). We bop to BON IVER and it has stopped raining for the first time in danish history (half kidding). WHAT A DAY.

FRIDAY 11.08.
Its day 1 of Haven Festival. I go after work to meet with RRK and Matilde. We drink Mikkeller Beers and cocktails and bop to Beach House. We start collecting Pants (refund for cups, bottles). We each clock in around 300kr ($60). We dance the night away and chow down on flaeskesteg sandwiches (look this up people!). I get home at 4am - re: I haven’t slept much in the last day. So this is FINE . . . ….

Today is the day I finish my online exam for my course. As motivation I buy carrot cake (edit: an entire cake, not a piece) and sit with tea until this thing is done. I discuss Hinduism and Buddhism, Islam, new religions, and modern day humanism. Its due at 12am Canada time which means 6am DK time. I take a brief nap at 2am and get back into the groove, handing in my exam at 4am. I swear I will never do that ever again as long as I live. I sleep in my clothes. The carrot cake is no where to be seen. WE DONE!

Julie and I celebrate her 22nd at Sliders with mini burgers and big beers. I call it Spiders because she hates spiders. I gift her the cutest rose named ‘Jules’ and we swig near the Queens Bridge and keep chatting. HYGGE!

Back to civilization. After 8 days of complete sunshine and bliss, its pouring cats and dogs in Copenhagen. Say it with me: CLAAAAASSSIC.
I get home to Soborg and Maya and guy friend are having study session in my living room (room?).. I didn’t inform her I would be home a day early, since my phone died on trail, and now I feel very awkward in my own home. I shower for the first time in a week and do lots of laundry. Nice to be back.
ALSO: I check my email and dear god, my phone is back from the abyss. AMAZING. I could cry Im so happy.

FERIE means vacation in Danish. And that’s exactly whats about to go down. Neither Niels Bohr or I really planned this thing, but, lets hit it!!
Skaneleden Trail .. For a trail pronounced ‘scone-a-lay-den’ there was not nearly enough scones in sight. Tragic.
Highlights of Sweden 2017 -bussing to Aastorp (“asstorp” if you read Swedish like me) and thinking we can start the trail from there -realizing we are 40km from start of trail -eating bacon and eggs every morning -emily buying carbonated water because i cant read swedish :) :) -emily pronouncing every Swedish sign completely and utterly wrong -making NB jump in the Oresund sea at a crisp 12 degree celsius water temp -drinking entire wine box on top of a bunker on the seaside, watching the sun set -walking through a carnival in landskrona and mowing down massive pizzas after realizing the info hut doesn’t sell maps (pizza will lead the way!) -snuggling in an old cabin and hoping we dont die of CO poisioning if we don’t put out the fire before sleeping
-inhaling ice cream sandwiches at the first café we find in the middle of the trail -hustling people tending to their gardens to fetch us water bottle refills -walking through large pastures of cattle (HI!!!) -forgetting THE ROD (the fishing rod) at the bus-stop and running back 2km -naming the giant backpack THE TEAM so if you wear it you can say you are carrying the team
Meanwhile, Mumsie is on the house hunt in Guelph. In her words ‘there is a potent weed smell; not great Em’ describing 1 of 3. On to the next! She interviews potential housemates and I’m a bit concerned for them.

After 3 days of scooping, ice cream biking, set up, take down, wet sand, cones, children screaming, downpours, and then some… I train home through the trees to Soborg. That was a long festival. Lots of learning curves, mostly, don’t set up next to douchy taco hut guy’s stand. (Half kidding). Also, found new fav Danish band Jonah Blacksmith. Now time for CAMPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
