After being at my parents' place most of the summer, it was time to go back to Aalborg - and unlike previous times I decided to take the train back from Skanderborg. Nothing happened on the way back, but the trip was actually quicker than the usual bus trip from Aalborg to Silkeborg. After coming back to the apartment on Hvidkildevej, I decided to meet Mads at his place, and the next two hours we talked about many things. But at 14.45 I had to go back to my place to prepare myself to go to Blokhus.
In the end of June I received an invitation for a birthday party from my good friend Christina, who I met when I started at the university almost 2 years ago (and no, it is not the same girl as the one who went to the same class as Greg). I couldn't resist her offer.
I was excited about how many people, who were coming, actually I already saw the first 2 at the bus station, but it was only confirmed when I arrived at Christina's mom's summer residence, and they arrived around 5-10 minutes later. Among the other guests were her cousin Steffen, familiar faces like Mai & Jakob as well as Pia (who I met the night before my birthday) and Ann Christina & her boyfriend Mattias (who Christina & I, among others, went to the carnival with last year), and new faces like the two girls from the bus station (Nanna & Anne Katrine), Allan (who is studying psychology together with Christina, Nanna & Anne Katrine) and 2 other friends. So all in all we were around 15 people.
Dinner was great! We got some beef, chicken and spareribs along with some salad and some other stuff, and for dessert we got some cake. All evening there was this positive mood, and most of us really enjoyed ourselves. Later in the evening there was this limbo competition, in which I actually won!! Considering that I rarely participate in those kind of competitions, even I was surprised. Before midnight the first guests went home. We decided to go to town, but Anne Katrine wanted to go home because she wanted to paint her new apartment the next day, and Pia shocked us all by spontaneously taking a taxi back to Aalborg!! Imagine how expensive the bill must have been!
But the rest of us went to town and quickly went in to a place called Pigen og Sømanden (the girl and the sailor), where we stayed and drank some beer, danced and participated in a limbo contest. Around 4.30 most of us decided to go back to the summer residence while the rest of them went back a little later. After we had a hot dog, I decided to go to bed.
Sunday morning
At 9.30 I decided to wake up, but I had some major hangovers. Not the best feeling to start the day with. After having breakfast, we were talking about many things before we decided to go to the beach. After arriving at the beach we noticed that there were a lot of people there. We jumped into the water, but there were a lot of big waves, so sometimes we were pushed back. We then took a sun bath until the time was around 12.50, where we went back to the summer residence to pack our stuff before taking a bus back to Aalborg at 14.40.
After coming back I wanted to get some sleep, but when I turned my laptop on, I ended like surfing the Internet instead. In the end I went to sleep around 1.
I want to thank Christina for throwing this great party, and the others for making this a great weekend! It sure was great, and I hope that we can do this again next year.
