In sickness and Ice

I was sick for a week, healthy for a week and now I am on week 3 of my doomsday dry cough caused by my asthma! Happy!!! (not)
Planes premiered in Denmark and we started our new super fun event in-store. We get to fold paper planes with the children and it's a fantastic event, arrr I really love it!

I went on the big introduction trip with my new course at university. Naturally I brought loads of snacks, since I eat more than three times a day. The theme was horror so we started with a zombie apocalypse run about the grounds and the older students were just amazing, haha! They also planned a pretty scary night-time treasure hunt for us.

And of course party every night.

 The days were spent quizzing, relaxing and we all saw Aladdin together as well! The weather has been getting colder and colder this past month but just this weekend the sun actually peeked out and made the trip all the more fantastic.

The trip is organized and excecuted entirely by our older classmates and they did an unbelievable job. Performances, theme bars, concerts... I thought they'd never stop doing something new and dazzling for us haha! 

The last night we had a galla and we dressed up nicely.

We're 2/3 made out of girls, so the line of blokes didn't quite make for a male date for everyone. But we're already really close across all the study groups and it was super fun.

... Dessert was bloody delicious.

 I drew a bloke from my study group and I'm kissing our older mentor, haha. Later we ended up singing old Beatles songs and playing piano - very uncharacteristic of a film- and media class, we were told by our older peers.

It's tradition to "ice" each other (smirnoff ice). It's a very nice thing to do - it's like telling someone that "you're a nice person" while humiliating them publicly. It quickly escalates to apples, lollies and other things over the months though... Looking forward, hah!

My local station has undergone maintenance work and it went through a very omnious time where only the travel card lights lit up the darkness...

Non-picture events:
- I GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE!! WOoohoooOOOooo
- I finally met Tina's British boyfriend

- I held Stine's little baby girl in my arms

I'm constantly trying to find refugees in between reading massive amounts of texts for classes. Today I watched Pitch Perfect while soaking. I'm telling you it worked wonders.

The Gospel Genki

The 31st and 1st I went to this year's Genki. The location had changed this year to Farum Arena. I only came Saturday and Sunday because I was busy with university introductions Friday - but it really helped to have been at the Arena Thursday for the set-up of the convention. I knew my way around much better that way! And it made it easier to find the location in the middle of the night when I returned from the university party.

Some girls and I performed on stage as the muses from Hercules! Let me tell you, it's been hard coordinating a group this large. But it was so much fun - and we ended up winning both Crowd Favourite and Best Scenography!! Wowowowow

 

Our act is online on Youtubeeee.

Saturday was spent tanning oh so naturally for flipping hours, rehearsals, show and photoshoot. Marie was Calliope and her wig was very itchy and huge - relief was a natural reaction upon taking it off. Tina had forgotten to eat all day, so she was naturally euphoric at the sight of food, haha.

Backstage with some of me people. And Julian came all of a sudden as well! He had asked me about Genki a few weeks prior, but I didn't really think he would want to come for another year. It was great to have another Genki experience with him.

Michael took some bloody gorgeous shots of us.

Sascha and Kenny arrived super late Saturday and I danced a bit with them at the rave. But unfortunately planning and performing took pretty much all of my energy those two days and I didn't get to see and/or hang out with as many people as I wanted to.
I ended up sleeping just as late as the night before, because it took about an hour to wash off my tan.. I needed quite a thick layer, you see. PALE PERSON.

Sunday morning was spent with a con tradition - breakfast with the others.

Yummy bread Tina brought with her. And naturally we played around with the silhouettes on the walls. I have to admit, I find these photos very much funnier than I think I should be...

Mmmhmm.... And Rasmus finished his Bomb Voyage!

He did tire of his fake chin-elongatator and not everyone was pleased to have it go round. And naturally I wore Elastigirl to match my foe! (And Julian even came dressed as Aladdin once more, haha - it's just so odd to see your "ordinary" friends cosplay!)

Mona is the chin master.

Genki-times over once more. I'm a bit sad that I didn't have more energy during those two days - but having been super social all week long at my new university I just wasn't up to it :( And I did have a really nice weekend - even if it was more relaxed than my usual cons!
