So long and thanks for all the fish...

After 3 1/2 wonderful years in Copenhagen, I am moving back to Toronto to start my career. In my time here, I have really come to love this city- it is small yet metropolitan, it is charming yet fun, it is sophisticated yet full of angst. I am afraid it will be a bigger adjustment moving back to Canada, then it was moving over here. The little things like hanging out at cozy cafes or drinking a beer in the park with friends, is what I will truly miss.

That being said, I am really looking forward to starting my job. I will be working for a great bank, in a division I find infinitely interesting. I am also looking forward to finally living on my own. I have spent the last 7 years living with other people which has been a great time, but am excited about having my own things (ie. Furniture- I am danish after all).

I have made some great friends here. So many in fact, I have not had a day to myself since last Tuesday. Last night I was surprised by my closest friends and my favorite restaurant (which is ironically named Halifax- yes, I ate burgers on one of my last nights in Copenhagen). I will really miss them, and Copenhagen in general… but I will definitely be back.

No good deed...

My room was a mess, having not cleaned for at least a month. I decided to spend the day doing it right. This meant cleaning out under the bed, under the couch etc. The amount of dust bunnies I found was kind of disgusting, but also kind of incredible.

Under the bed I found a bunch of clothes I have been meaning to donate to charity. This discovery prompted me to clean out my closet. Bringing my total clothing donation to what I guess is 40kgs.

In the melee that was the cleaning process I managed to damage my internet socket, ripping a couple of the wires out. This meant spending an hour and a half on my stomach rewiring my ethernet cable.

But hey, my room is clean, my closets manageable and some young kid is about to walk away with a bunch of sweet emo and post-punk band tee’s. A fine saturday.
