Woke up. Had breakfast on my own. Went off for a run over to the lakes and the back way to Fredericksberg Have. It was pretty nice out and not very cold at all. Had lunch with Ida and Jens. Did homework (reading for classes and a two page response about the Sweden trip.
Went into DIS to watch a movie called The Bench. It was OK. It's about a man who is very depressed and get drunk a lot. He happens to run into his long lost daughter who he cut himself off from when his wife died when his daughter was younger. The daughter has a husband who abuses her and the older man helps to take care of her son and get his daughter away from her husband. He somewhat turns his life around. Danish movies seem to deal with such depressing family lives.
Jakob, Jens son from a previous marriage came for diner. We had frikadeller, red cabbage, potatoes and veggies. For dessert there was an apple raisin crisp.
Jakob is nice. He has just finished his thesis for engineering so now he will have a party in a few weeks to celebrate. We talked about party plans. Jakob showed us his MP3 player and pics from a trip he took to London.
It is so great to see my host family speak in danish. They are much more expressive in thier faces, funnier, and presumably more articulate. They speak great english but you can definitely tell they are much more comfortable speaking in danish. Especially Ida is wonderful about filling me in. I can actually pick up on a surprising amount of the gist of the conversation.
