Rough Week

I've been working weekends and evenings for the past couple weeks but this last week was particularly bad. For example, on Tuesday I worked from 8am to 6:15pm, went to capoeira, got home at 9:30, cooked some food, and stayed up until 4am working on my project. The capoeira class was the key, because without that class I would not have had the energy to stay up so late. Wednesday was similarly bad, but I only stayed up until 2:30am. By Thursday I was pretty much done, and finally starting to feel like I could relax. If you know me, you know how much I hate to lose sleep. I especially dislike losing sleep over work. During university, I only ever pulled one all-nighter and I swore never to do that again.

Thursday evening I decided to skip capoeria to have a quiet evening with Kendrick. We went to check out a new Thai place, but since they were fully booked and Kendrick had more work to do, we opted for some piping hot take-out pizzas.

(As an aside, the pizza place we frequent here is the better than any pizza place I've been to in Toronto. The crust is thin, the ingredients fresh, the price is good, and the service fast and friendly. The cheese tastes good and not rubbery like the fast food pizza in Canada! )

After dinner, Kendrick asked me if I had to work any more, and gave him an elated negative. In that case, he said hopefully, maybe you can help me? Soon, I was madly researching excel equations online. I threw in the towel at around half past midnight. My brain just stopped functioning, and my grumpiness was growing exponentially. Approaching asymptotically to infinity, one might say. One such as Kendrick, you'll have to ask him!

Anyways, Friday night Kendrick and I went to our respective company Christmas parties. They don't let you invite spouses to company parties here in Copenhagen, so it makes for an interesting atmosphere. More stories to follow. Kendrick and I are packing for Canada now, and I have to finish up an online test before leaving.

Be seeing you Canadians soon!
