Today felt like Seattle in that it was gloomy and rainy all day. I felt really anti-social today -as opposed to my extreme socialness during out DIS sponsored dinner last night with my orientation group (around 15 people). Dinner was amazing, and I got sufficiently drunk -of course, just enough so that I could make it home alright. My mood was most likely a reflection of the weather, but none the less I enjoyed Copenhagen as much as I could (even though I was carrying about 30 lbs of books on my back).
The past two days have been fairly long, with "survival Danish language class" starting at 9:00 am. It was useful I guess, but this language is ridiculously hard to pronounce and remember -maybe my Danish language class will clear some of that up, but probably not. I did however manage to snap a memorable picture of the royal guards marching on their daily parade through the city while our DIS leader gave us a mini-tour of the area...I was later informed by my host family that those hats are made of bear skin...wtf?
I've started to compose a new song titled, "Dream inside a dream" inspired by that dream I had earlier -I will post the link as soon as I have it recorded, but don't expect it anytime soon. Speaking of guitar, after dinner tonight, which usually lasts around an hour and a half, but this time about 4 hours, I showed my host family, and one of my host father's childhood friends pretty much all of my songs. They truly received the Kevin Donley Experience. I feel like there will be much more songwriting going on in the future, and I'm very excited that the words are coming so quickly to me now.
I wanted to go to a jazz club called Copenhagen Jazzhouse tonight and hear this guy named David Torn (http://www.davidtorn.net/), but I couldn't find anyone to go with me -the drawbacks of living with a host family. Oh well, I have lots of time to spend money elsewhere.
Well, I'm sufficiently fed up with spewing the day's activities out on the web for all eyes to see, so farewell!
Kevin
