march 13th

Today Friday the 13th falls on a Tuesday another joke of Mr. Atlases.
McCurdy went to the Brown's baby shower. Apparently they are happy and the baby is cute.
I went on a run down HC Orstedsvej towards a garden but it wasn't a very large or exciting one so I kept going and ended up near Vestre Kirkegard and the Carlberg Brewery. Went back the way I came.
Went into class. We learned about the start of WWII and the appeasement of Hitler in 20th century European history. We learned about the Black Death and plagues in Environmental History. Black Death is not bubonic plague and was spread human to human not via fleas and rats.
In Danish we talked about what our group presentations about Danish culture will be about. My group is talking about family structure, friends, hygge, importance of sitting down, traditions, candles, sports clubs as social places etc. etc. Nina gossiped with us about the Royal family. The man married to the Queen (but he's a prince and not Danish) is very into good food and wine and has published cook books. A few years ago he was depressed and went of to France in a huff and said the Danish people don't appreciate him. Prince Henrik is very athletic and has run a marathon. Price Joachim is more formal and proper. Prince Joachim's ex-wife just got remarried last weekend. Now she is not a Princess anymore.
We had a quiz on vocab that was fine. No one could remember the words for doctor or dentist.
I came home. Watched Beverly Hills 90210 did some homework.
Elizabeth, Ashley and I are going to see a musical Avenue Q in London on a free night we have! I'm excited.
The days are so long now. Early sunrise and late sunset.
