Eventful scheduling

I had a very sunny and pretty first day. But then the rain started. El Nino gave LA a rainfall like the bad ones back home. There was so much rain in the streets - a street down from us was literally like a river because it is so hilly and the water just goes doooown. I talked to Americans who had never owned an umbrella before these days. So yes, this is unusual. And I did not bring the right clothes for that haha - it is actually pretty chilly.

The rain provided me with inside time to make me settled in the flat. I have more stuff on the walls than the other girls now... But I feel like I need it! It is really good to be able to look at familiar faces everywhere I look.

And I gotta say I really like living here. It is surprisingly fantastic that I have my own study desk - I don't know how I would have managed if I had to walk to one of the study halls every day. This campus is too massive ...

 

I had booked tickets to go see People's Choice Awards through the international center. I dressed up and it was pretty fun!

I talked to this girl from Hong Kong and it was all good. I had never seen the show before and it was a little different from the other award shows. I have to admit that I was pretty annoyed by the end of the show though - since it was televised live they did not utilize the speakers on our level. Which meant that we could not hear anything every time just 30 people applauded. So... Really uncool. Still a fun enough experience.

 I got my class plan under control and am now taking Costume Design as well. This will be such an interesting quarter. Lots of creativity.... maybe a little too much. We shall see!

Walking the halls at good ol' Melnitz where most of my classes takes place. Except on Fridays where I have no classes! My flatmates spoiled me and we ate home-baked goodies while getting to know each other better.

Saturday I went on a bus trip with the other internationals. It was really short and I have to admit I was disappointed in our guide, who just told bad jokes instead of explaining things about LA. But it was all right.

We had a few stops. Hollywood Boulevard and the Farmers' Market among them. 

Right by the Farmers' Market there is a shopping street called the Grove. I tried to think why it seemed familiar and then I realized that there are a few Totally Spies episodes set there...

It was fun enough and I met another girl in the Film and Television department. So I can hit her up with questions more relevant to my field. Always good.

Then I worked on my Storyboard assignment and later in the week I talked to Rasmus about updating it and about my Stopmotion exercises.

 

My flatmates are really sweet and I am glad that they are warm and welcoming. They even went with me to a very special place on Sunday... (my top is a hint)

Easy Breezy Summer

   

'Kay, first things first: I made a new layout and header for the blog! So welcome to the new edition I guess...

Distortion street parties happened with the Disney folks. So. many. people. all. over.

I went to Ander's graduation party and felt bad that I was getting birthday gifts at his party - I got my very own Stormfly <3 br="">

The the African heat wave crossed Europe and came to Denmark bearing shattering degrees. So the beach was in order. I hung with Stine and Pernille and we went in three times! The water felt absolutely fantastic!

Good weather also means sitting outside reading. And there's of course one specific series that is preferred.

Hot weather and Harry Potter is just a brilliant combination.

 

 I drove up and met the girls at Malmparken Stof-salg one Saturday. It was the last opening day and we bought discounted fabrics - good deals were made mayn. And it just so happened to coincide with the ECG finals, so we felt all the memories come up...

I had to go to work some days during the heat wave which was a bit of shame (even though I was happy to miss out on the warmest day - that was too much for me). I made the best of the situation by driving to and fro work on my dear Sally though. Jesus, my dress was moving so gracefully behind me and people really stared in awe haha. And I even swung by Michael's Sunday evening.

Then the temperatures dropped again and I took a warm bath to energize myself.

I've been to Tina's new place a few times. We've made cheesecake, waffles, watched Hercules and played Child of Light. Boy, that game was a beauty. Such a great feeling playing it and the art was impeccable.

I bought one of our  Cindy mirrors before they sold out and took home one of the Big Hero 6 puzzles since they probably won't be making more merchandise. Plus I really like that particular artwork.

I put it together and Rasmus helped me put it in a frame by my bed. I think it looks really nice!

We also watched the old and new Little Witch Academia. Gosh, I just won't tire of the beautiful animation in that one! But I do still prefer the first one - the narrative is super tight and neat.

I also spent some anime-hours with Kathrine. And we spent loads of time reminiscing the past and even got sucked into reading old Princess magazines haha.

When we get off work at around 9 and walk to the station the light is super pretty.

 I've hung out a lot with the babes - watching movies, going to cafés, eating cake. And we went on a long walk by Langelinie in the sun and met a odd fella!

When we finally bought our ice creams of course it started raining. Jeez. 

The weather is really on-off. But usually it's sunny for my breaks in Disney on the terrace.

Sunnies, lipstick and colour to give me a summer jumpstart.

And the girls tried being Japanese for a day haha!
