late autumn

I do not like biking, and it is super cold now in Denmark, but the path to my university (University of Southern Denmark) is very beautiful at any time of the year. Especially on sunny days :)

Happy 4th of December!

clean on thursdays

Until recently I was doing weekly cleaning of my apartment on Saturdays.

Saturday makes sense especially if you from Catholic family. Sunday is a day you go to Church and you cannot work, and other days are working days, so there is only Saturday left for home duties.

But what about other week days are they really out of discussion?

I have discovered and I am sharing with you that there is no better day than Thursday for home duties and cleaning.

WHY Thursday?

Here are my arguments:

Monday is tough enough no extra duties are needed to make this day challenging.

Tuesday as for me a movie night if I have no homework, because tickets are half price.

Wednesday well one could actually clean on Wednesday but what for? You clean and then it won't be anymore visible on Friday.

Friday - no way!! Cleaning after whole week of working? Cleaning on a party-evening? Friday is a bad idea unless it is emergency or special situation, but that can be said about any other week day.

Saturday - well wouldn't it be nice to wake up on Saturday without a thought that you have to clean? I also think that when you clean on Saturday it basically steals the whole day, because you do have a whole day and because you lazy and slow, because it is weekend. I think it is time to change this nightmare.

Sunday - well I do not go to Church but I am definitely sold for - no work on Sunday attitude.

Golden Thursday:
Because there is no better day!
Because it will bring Saturdays back to life!
Because you worth it!
;))

studenthus

On Sunday afternoon yes it was me I have terrorized studenterhus Odense (STUDENT_HOUSE).

I was studying to my String Theory exam that I had last Monday morning, and I badly needed a black or white board, I am not a "board-sist", to practice my presentation. 

My fiancé used his perfect Danish language to call and ask if they have call and ask if they have boards at Studenthus so that I do not have to bike 45 min to the University (and you know I do not like biking), a girl he has spoken to said that they do have boards, but no chalk or markers.

That was good enough. Packed my stuff, jumped on a bike, stopped by a shop bought markers thought they cost 19.95DKK but they were 35DKK but since I prepared 20DKK lady I guess assumed that there was mistake and I got them for 20DKK at first I felt lucky but then when one the red marker from the package of four markers was completely dry, I think it was a fair deal.

I got to Studenthus, got in, took the stairs up to study zone and I face a fence ??!! It was closed ??!!

I went down, found a person and asked about board and a closed study zone ??!!

Found out that it is always closed on Sundays (why the girl on a phone haven't mentioned it is closed??!!).

And then I did my so called "mimimi" face and big eyes.

I said that I even bought markers and that I do not want tea (they offered tea instead of a board - sweet guys btw.) because it won't help me, and that I really really need a board. 

And they came up with an idea to help me!

They found some "paper based board" that they use for "somethingSOMETHING" and I could study n it!

Then about million times they came around to me to say good luck!

What I want to say with this story is that in my opinion STUDENTHUS is truly a StudentHOUSE!

"Stor TAK" ("big thank you") for being awesome :D 

I recommend this place to anyone. Coffee is good and boys are very helpful and sweet! 

Btw. I got 12 (A) in my String Theory exam :D

bike satire

Haven't been in Denmark for 2 years and I haven't biked a single mile during that time. I am out of biking shape and lets face the truth I was forced to rediscover that hate biking.

I bike around 1h everyday. It is my transportation. And no argument about being green or healthy matters to me. I think it really sucks.
My butt aches and I am pretty sure that if I won't go to the gym from time to time to train my butt, I will become super flat butt-ed girl, because I sit whole day!

I sit while studying and now my motion of the day is also while sitting.

I feel tired from that biking. I arrive sweaty to the university, bus drivers do not care and want to kill me on the road.
And if it rains... that generated so much hate and laziness that I honestly rather stay home, skip work, classes or a party than bike to the destination! If I bike for a half and hour in a rain I have a small rain between my hat and glasses, I hardly see and well I still have to bike the same hard path as on sunny day...

Wind is always in my face. Do not even let me start about that one...

My backpack is heavy and or it annoys me on my back or it makes controlling the bike more difficult when I set it into the basket.

Even in flat Denmark there is plenty of hills to hate.

The only reason I bike is not because I think it is trendy, or because I think it will save our planet, or because I think it is a great way of being active...
I bike because I am too poor to get a car! And well I do not have driving license, but even if I had I do not have money for a car, so it doesn't matter.

And it is not only me, I have very slow bike and I look on other people while biking and they hate it too.
When it rains the view is far away from happy healthy people on pretty bikes, happily biking through pretty happy city.

What I am saying is, the moment I have money I am going to pollute our planet with fumes from my car!

The Notebook Came Back

Short follow up on my notebook story (notebook).

Well it was laying all that time under the bookcase in a room that I lived in for the last month.

Well who would have thought to check there?

Anyway, I got it back yesterday evening. And I am very happy its back ;)

new apartment

Well, I have just moved in to a new apartment.

It is very small, but cute. I obviously was very excited, and happy about it.

I knew that after hours of euphoria I will discover something that I won't be so excited about. And I did.
The moment I laid down in bed, the street lap was exactly pointed to shine its bright light on my face, how lucky it is?
Sad thing is that the place the bed stands at the moment is really the best place in this one room apartment.

Curtains solved the problem.

The street-lamp. 

There also is this mysterious noise coming from the kitchen.

It is something between knocking on a wooden door and water dropping into a metal sink. I tried hard but couldn't figure out what makes this noise.

But the extra door brought from basement help to ignore it at night.

About noises our neighbors make... In a apartment above a small running kid sounds exactly the same as raccoons that lived at the roof of the building I lived in US. And it actually made me smile.

Anyway... it is lovely and I like it!

p.s. I have no WIFI there, so I am cast away ;)

quantum trouble

Nothing more precious than a cup of coffee on a days spend in the library. 

Especially when you have to struggle with tough stuff as an explanation of our existence, of an existence of our universe.

Anyway, during last lecture from Quantum Mechanics we heard depressing news. I cannot stop thinking about it.

When we look at the world classically we can make statements that it has zero energy, in Quantum world there is always some energy. 

Systems always oscillate at least a bit. So now if we have a space and even it seems empty then it will have infinite amount of those small energies. 

We also know that the general relativity implies that all the forms of energy gravitate, and if we have a infinite energy then we have infinite mass which leads to infinite gravity. 

And BOOM! 

If that was true then our universe would collapse in an instant.

This collapse is not a problem, because well it hasn't happened.

The problem is that I am studying a theory that we successfully use in everyday life (all modern technology was possible because we understood quantum mechanics). But yet same theory cannot completely explain why our universe is still around.

I might have got it all wrong, but it bothers me a lot.

Well next week will bring me probably something new to worry about, since our universe if full of mystery.
