T-minus 6 days for the project

This week went by so very fast. Every day was a work day on the project. We have made some great progress although there is still so much to do. Unfortunately we have had very minimal time with our group supervisor recently due to him being so very busy.

The weather was pretty lousy until yesterday so there was not much else to do. Yesterday was the first day of consistent sun in about a week. Lousy spring weather in Denmark is quite different from back home, but as the same time very similar. Here is cloudy with sporadic periods of rain and sun. I think this is partly to do with the wind. The wind moves the weather patterns very quickly so just as fast as the break in the clouds lets the sun through to Aalborg, it is pushed further east. The same happens with the rain. Last week I was biked to Fakta to get some groceries. When I biked there it was cloudy and windy and by the time I arrived the sun came out. I shopped for no more than half an hour and while I was waiting in line to check out I looked outside. To my horror it was pouring out. I was not thrilled at the prospect of biking home with a backpack and another bag full of groceries in that weather. Yet by the time I had finished paying and bagging the rain had stopped and it was beginning to look as if the sun was going to come back out. This reminds me of the saying "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait five minutes..."

Luckily this weekend despite being another working weekend will have some fun involved. Tomorrow as part school assignment part recreational trip I will be traveling to Skagen the northern most tip of Denmark. There we will go and check out the beach (too cold to go in) and see a museum as part of the International Cultural Studies class that I took called ISCAN. After we will go to the tallest "mountain" in Denmark, about the size of a small hill in New England say Nashoba Valley...
