All's Quiet

It is currently a bit after 9 pm and I am the only one home. It has been this way since I got home from work about 5:30. It's quiet, peaceful and I had some time to myself. Not that I don't usually sit in my room after work on my computer but there is something different about knowing it's just you and be a little more relaxed.

Today was a pretty normal day. Got up just like usual, got ready (kind of got pushed out of the bathroom) and left a little after 8. I think Lise believes I spend over an hour in the bathroom every morning. I say this because, well, first of all, I do spend from about 6:35 to 7 in there every morning. Most normal people aren't up that early anyway, including Lise. However, at 7 I try to get out because Jin has to get ready too and I just sit in my room and eat and check e-mail and do the get readying I can there. Well, this morning, pushed out at 7 and I wasn't near the bathroom again till almost 7:40 when I needed to brush my teeth and finish up. At that moment Lise needs the bathroom again and jokes that I'm in there all the time. I guess I'm just going to be that person who is in the bathroom ALL the time. :-) I now have a little mirror with a stand so that I'll spend even "less" time in there. How 45 minutes total is going to shrink, I have no idea. And come on, 6:30 is early.

Anywho, enough of the rant. Work went well. Results came in and two more experiments were started. Lunch was nice. Esben and I talked about college football (well, I talked about that) and we discussed the Tour de France (sorry if I spelled that wrong) as well as soccer. I learned about how the matches work here, how many teams in a group and how Denmark's chances of qualifying for the World Cup are looking up. The afternoon was observations and doing stuff for the PIRE program.

I left at 4:30, bought a SIM card and came home. Yup, I have a working mobile phone. No, you can't call me. :-) Unless you're in Denmark. :-D I made dinner and chatted on Skype for a while. My throat is still bothering me. Quite a bit, actually. It seems like another viral thing. I honestly don't think I've been 100% since before finals week. It's a virus, it's allergies, it's another virus, it's a stuffy nose--my body apparently doesn't like being well. :-P So if you'd please pray for healing in regards to that I would appreciate it. I'm hoping this doesn't develop into a cough because that would make sleeping very difficult.

The only news I have that may be interesting is that I will be meeting Maria, the kind business woman who helped me in the airport, next week to walk around the old parts of Copenhagen, get dinner, and have ice cream at Tivoli. That will be a nice evening. :-)

Nothing else for today so I'm out. Time to go to bed. :-)

Until tomorrow,
Bekah
