What I had expected

I had expected nothing and I have expected it all. I did my best to live my moments here as pleasant as I could but I do have several things I would do in a different way. Hmm, maybe that sounds a little too rough. What I really mean is there are some things which I would have done but time did not permit it. Come on, tell me how an asshole I am for saying what I just said: I did have 4 months at my disposal but 4 months are not an eternity.

The Internship

This was the reason I came back to Bucharest. Going back home for the internship was something which I simply had to do as there was no way of sustaining myself financially in Aarhus. I had my internship at Eau de Web and this internship might have been (more than a tad) lifechanging. The expectations I have had in regards to the internship were not fulfilled and I am more than happy for this outcome: I simply realized web programming is not something I should completely focus on. I also want to give huge thanks (and hugs) to all the people at the company for the way they treated me and their cooperation. I know I can sometimes(often..) be a very-hard-to-cope-with person but they adopted me fast and I am glad to say I have made some very good friends over there. Whenever I will get the chance, I will most definitely pay them a visit after their work schedule to grab a beer/juice and have a talk.

The Love Life

I am even more in love than I was when I arrived and the only thing that makes me sad is that I had to leave. It’s such a pity I did not have more time to spend with my girlfriend and this is one of those moments when I regret over-sleeping instead of waking up at the right time and meeting her.

My Friends

I have made some acquaintances and have lost some friends but let’s face it, if one loses a friend, that was not a friend in the first place so he didn’t lose anything. As a genious once said, shit happens and there is nothing we can do about it.

Miscellaneous

I saw a lot of movies at the cinema (Please, for Christ’s sake, don’t make me list them all…) but the last one was the one that left a mark on me: Alice in Wonderland. The mark it left was not due to the movie itself but to the place I saw the movie: the Samsung IMAX in a Romanian Mall. Having a 25 metres by 18 metres screen, it was the best 3D experience I have ever had at a movie. There was a downside however since it can’t all be perfect: the subtitle was 2D and although I don’t need subtitles in order to watch a movie, once you have them on the screen, your eyes are used to move and read. No, you can’t read a 2D subtitle with the 3D glasses if that’s what you are asking. My eyes still hurt after this experience…
Oh, did I mention I have to wear glasses? Yeah, I went to an eye doctor and it seems I have to get myself a pair of lenses/glasses with the following attributes: -0.5 for one eye and -0.75 for the other. Therefore, if you see me on the street, wave to me and I ignore you, try yelling.. you might be more successfull

Pool

I played a lot of pool. And when I say a lot, I actually mean A HELL OF A LOT! In Victorian terms, that’s equal to a number close to 200 games in 4 months. My best score was on the week before now when my friend started the game, didn’t pot any ball, it was my turn and I potted all my 8 balls in the same series of shots, making this my best achievement so far. Wish I had a place to play some good pool in Aarhus (yeah, the price is also important).

Epilogue

That’s about it. I’ll probably just post this article as soon as I get home and now I’ll finish my battery playing some Dirt2 or something. I forgot to put my headphones in the hand luggage and I can’t watch CSI: NY Things are worse though: I forgot both my toothbrushes back home (the one I have at my home and the one at my girlfriend’s place). Guess I’ll buy one more and make this a premiere: having 3 toothbrushes and yellow teeth at the same time. Hurray!

On the ferry while writing this. Just left Aarhus and it’s snowing as hell. Come to think about it, I think it’s a lot better in hell in regards to the snow. Unlike last thursday when we had the first snow in Denmark this year(winter), the busses travelled fine and the only delay I have had so far are 5 minutes with the bus from skjoldhoj to downtown and 10 minutes late on getting on the ferry, because of the huge queue of cars which are going to Sjaelland.

As I said in the previous post, I am afraid. Not sure though what I am afraid of anymore but my heart is pumping as it never has. It might be because of all the chocolate I ate and all the coffee I drank but then again, I do that each day so it’s not a good enough reason. I was saying the ferry is packed. Fuckin’ hell, it is! I barely found a seat to sit on and write this complete non-sense! I keep on wondering how Romania will be like. Yes, it will be cold and dusty at the same time but that is not what I mean. What will I do there? Who am I going to go out with? Will I make new friends/accquaintances or will I start going out again with the people that used to be my friends? God knows…

I do know one thing though: no matter what happens there, I do have a lot of things and people to think about in Aarhus. I can safely say that Aarhus is my home at the moment and I am seriously considering finishing my bachelor degree in web development here. Screw Copenhagen, Edinburgh and any other towns, I just feel like Aarhus is the place for me to be in for the next couple of months/years.

Never thought I would say what I’ve just said. Nevertheless, life takes you to some situations and feelings that you were never accustomed to. It’s intriguing how things change in a matter of years, months or even days!

So, back to the journey! It never felt so nice to listen to Mourning Beloveth. Staying on the ferry with the headphones on my head while looking at the misty sea and the snow that hits the window is just marvelous. I’m getting more and more calm by every minute that passes and this is just wonderful. Funny enough, I just remembered that my luggage changed its lock code by mistake! It went from 0-0-0 (the classical combination) to a very odd 0-1-0. I found that by mistake but at least I did! Otherwise, you might see me opening my luggage with a screwdriver!

Ah.. Romania. Except my dear ones back there, there are a couple of things that I really really miss like the Timi?oreana beer, King’s Club, Fire Club, Revenge Club and whole lot of other shit. Ok, I will stop with the writing here for the moment. Last thing I want to say is that I have two friends who had the same route as I do (only they did not have to go to Copenhagen since they live there) and they missed the connecting flight from Prague to Bucharest. Czech Airlines assured their accommodation for that night and they got home the next day. I can’t say I want that to happen but seing Prague during winter might be awesome…

Oh, did I mention I’m going to Wien for my birthday? Hypocrisy concert!!

Back on the bus now. Well, I’ve been back on the bus for the past 50 minutes or so but I’ve watched a tad of “The Descent” and played some FIFA 10. It’s so strange to listen to Negura Bunget while seing this Danish snow on the window of the bus. Well, I met another Romanian who is flying to Bucharest but he will be flying with Malev and leave/arrive one hour after me. Meh, at least I will not be staying by myself in the airport.

Isn’t it funny how I always get in the mood of writing on the blog whenever I don’t have any internet access? Yeah, thought so…
