No problem waking up this morning. Apparently Alex and Mike couldn't sleep so the decided to go get Kebabs at 3:30am and saw a bloody fight. Like two guys beating the crap out of each other, blood, and giant Swedish Police kinda fight.
Pat slept a few hours and I got a solid 6 hours of sleep. Woke up around 4:50am pretty refreshed, probably woke up initially because Alex and Mike were telling Pat about the fight at a very high volume but that's fine cause it is an amazing story.
Alex and I scurried out of the hotel as to not be caught because we weren't supposed to stay in the 2 person room. We got to the train station and immediately procured cappuccinos (picture from a Stockholm cafe but they are almost all the same wherever you got them including 6am in the train station) while Pat and Mike made sammies at the hotel. They are so cute. We found out the Eurail passes were worth it today as well. This ticket alone would have been 900 Krone and we only had to pay 120Kr for the reservation and that was it. After all that we went to the train and I finished my Lucky (Last Cig in the pack for future reference) We are on an X2000, which is a far nicer/faster train than the last one. This SHOULD be about a 5.5 hour train ride. Our hostel is only 2 blocks from the train station which is a nice change. We have a list of things we want to see before assumed New Years celebrations.
Alex said yesterday he expects to be perpetually tired over the next three weeks and I think he is right. I am currently awake because of the insanely strong cappuccino but I have this general malaise over me. You just have to fight through it and base movement on hopeful adrenaline secretions and caffeine. I'll sleep when I'm dead.
The UCMB is leaving tomorrow, I hope and know the people within the band will have fun. I never missed a performance physically - once or twice I was not mentally "there" but my body was. Feels weird, but I regret nothing. I have only been on this trip for 5 days and it's already one of the coolest things I have ever done. Everyone should experience different cultures, it rips the world you know wide open, which is scary but amazing at the same time. You never know what to expect and that is why it is an adventure. I can't believe tonight is the start of 2009. 2008 went so fast which is sad but 20 more days of Europe then I'm thrown into 2nd Junior year semester. Sounds like fun to me.
And now one more picture to prepare you for the Copenhagen Blog:
