Classtrip to Copenhagen, Denmark

Finally, I'm sitting here ready to tell you about my unusual Friday.
I came home at 6pm yesterday and I was soooooooo tired.... I have no idea what I was doing when I came home. I guess I just wasted my time on something unimportant, because when I looked at the clock... it was already 11pm. At that time I realized I had to do something nessecary if I wasn't going to bed. So I did that, and went to sleep.... ;u;

Anyways...
I'm going to begin the story when I woke up. I woke up with a heart attack because of the vibration of my phone (I'm a light sleeper). When I had put on the clothes and eaten breakfast, my mother said "Why did you set the alarm at 2am on your old phone?". I got a bit confused. I mean, I never did that! And then she told me that the alarm went on at night and that she and my dad woke up because of it. She said "Your dad had to get up to turn it off! It took him so long to do that so I asked him what was wrong. He said he didn't know how to turn it off so he just sat there pressing every button he could. The people living downstairs woke up also. I think it was because of the alarm. The alarm went on FOUR TIMES! You know what he did? He put it under the pillow to choke the sound, but it was still too loud. Poor him." So I said "Why didn't he just take out the battery?" and she replied "Hey. If people are tired; their brain won't work properly. So do you really think he could think of that????" (pffft-)

As I promised, I took loads of pictures :3
I even took pictures of unnecessary stuff so I'm probably going to sit here for another few more minutes to "clean" the image folder.
This is at the train station in Sweden.

This was when I realized that we were in Denmark because of the strange "O"
I actually took a lot more pictures when we were riding the train but... they're too boring to show xD

When we took our first steps outside of the train station I realized that I took too many pictures. I thought for myself "This isn't what regular people do, is it? Isn't it a bit embarassing to take pictures of everything?" and looked around. Guess what I spotted? I saw one of my classmates standing there with his phone trying to take a picture of something, so I was relieved that I wasn't the only one! :D When I looked closer, I saw him taking a picture of the bus standing right in front of us. So I was thinking "Uhm... What's so interesting about that bus??? o__o;" and then I saw him zooming into something. I never realized what it was until I looked away from his "phone screen" and saw the actual bus. He was taking a photo of the picture showing on the bus. It was boobs. Bare boobs. BARE. BOOBS. Ok, it shouldn't have been that surprising, but really?? *shakes head* I poked my best friend and said "Look at the bus! Look at that bus!!! Can you see it?!? Can you?!?" but she was just confused. She couldn't see the picture even though she was looking at the bus. (I guess those bus-pictures don't really get much attention, do they? O.O) The teacher heard me and said something totally unrelated. She was like "OOOOoooh, have you spotted someone you like on the bus? ;) How was he? Was he handsome? ;)" so I was like "What, no ._______. Look at the picture on the bus!!! T~T" I have no idea why I wanted them to see it so badly, but I just thought it was too weird, ok.

Here are some more photos. ;_;





↑ I like that hand in the corner.














My favorite shot :'D The ferris wheel was actually really small T~T But I managed to get some "ok" photos. ^-^ The funny thing is that the ferris wheel was the ride that made me go really, really, uahjdkahuryhfjhyd, because it went too fast ;__;






↑ My friend went on that one. See the swings? They were brought up really high and just swinged around in circles. I took that picture when I was riding the ferris Wheel.









 That's the "plane" over there. It's the toughest ride, ever. I mean, look at it. It's swinging  and you get to  be upside down during the ride. Just looking at it made my head spin ;_; The guys were riding i,t and one of them wasn't really that fond of it. His face was soooo red and he screamed "I WANT TO GO OFF!!!!!". HAHAHAHA >:)

I really, really, really liked this side of the amusement park! *-* It was so beautiful.



That's the "demon" ride ._. (I didn't ride it)




Panda!


It was fun. But it was really tiring because I was forced to ride the rides with them. I'm still having the headache.

The scariest ride for me was actually the talllllllll "free fall ride". The view up there was really beautiful, but... it made the fall worse, since my mind was floating elsewhere. I wasn't on my guard, I was just gazing on the view. The fall came and my head almost fell off. I tried to catch my head with my hands but the air just wouldn't let me. That feeling was so "OMG D':<" ish (I think that's why my neck is hurting right now....). Before we went on the ride, the guys had already ridden it, so they were standing down there waiting to see our faces as we fell. =___=  They were laughing like animals. Anyways, I never want to ride that again. Never......

Another memorable ride was the "flying carpet" (The flying carpet swings back and forth and goes around in circles sometimes). Surprisingly I wasn't feeling sick when I was riding it. ^-^ I laughed so much. Before we went on the ride I asked my friend to have my phone in her pocket since it was too big for my own pockets(imagine how it would be with a Galaxy Note 2 instead). So she had both of our phones in her pocket. We went to our seats and that security thingy was put down (you know, those black thingies that keeps your body on the seat). During the ride, we kind of pushed the security-thingy closer to our body by mistake because we were really scared we'd fall off ;__; Suddenly my friend was screaming "Omg!! My legs! I can't feel my legs! omg! Our phones!!! They're getting squashed!!!" etc, etc. She just kept screaming like that the whole ride so it was kind of funny xD And... when I looked down, I saw a shoe flying to our side. I just laughed because it made me remember the sign, in front of the ride, saying "Attention! We won't be responsible for flying properties. Tie your shoes properly if you don't want them to fly". I'm sorry if I have a weird sense of humor XD

We came home at 6pm.. I was really, really tired... but then my friend had to go to the library in town so we had to go with her. >< I also had to buy something there, so we went around carrying our heavy bags. My shoulder and back hurt so badly ;___; And... on our way home, we found a small almost-dying-bird. :( I don't know how I spotted it... I just looked on the ground as we were walking and saw a lump next to one of the doors to the appartments. So I looked closer and saw a cute bird. It was about to die though... I don't know what happened to it >< I took a picture of it too ;_; I don't know what's wrong with me! How can I take a picture of her/him when s/he is about to die?!?!? No worries, I took the picture quickly and then we picked the little bird up on a tissue. I had no idea how we were going to save it but I thought I'd bring it home and then make some research of how to take care of hurting birds. My best friend told me we could bring the bird to our other friend since she already has birds and probably know how to take care of them. I know this is a complete different matter but.... it's worth a try? I hope we aren't just making it more hurtful for the bird ;____;
Look! It's so smalll T___T It's screaming for help ;_____; (omg, what's wrong with me?!?!?)

Wow, I love all the pics you took! That amusement park looks really fun, sort of like a different theme for each area. I really like the China theme too. It seems like the prettiest area with all the trees and cool architecture.

lol about the guy who wanted off the ride. XD

And I hope your head is feeling better. It's been a super long time since I've gone to an amusement park. I recall going on this ride called the Goliath which had a super steep and high drop and I was so scared while waiting in line. But once we got to the top and went down, it was so much fun! Sort of like an exhilarating feeling. If I went on a ride now though, I'd probably get a headache. xP
I also heard from science classes that you could get some brain trauma from those hardcore roller coasters.

Haha, that must have been funny. I've seen people who's lost their shoe on rides and idk why but it's always funny!

That little bird looks like a fledgling. I read an article before that there's difference between nestlings and fledglings. It said that if the bird was hairless or had a bit of fuzz on them, it's a nestling and that people should attempt to find the nest to put them back into. If no nest could be found, people could create a makeshift nest and place it near where the bird was found.

If it's a fledgling with full grown feathers (like the one in your pic), apparently it's okay to leave them be because the parents are supposed to be nearby and usually keep feeding it and raising them while they're out of the nest.

I never knew this before but now that I do, I don't feel as bad for little baby birds on the ground. Of course, if they're in a dangerous or highly trafficked area, I'd move them to a safer spot nearby.

If you didn't see the parents dead, you should probably tell your friend that you can put the bird back where you found it. It seems that the parents of the bird could take better care of it then humans ever could and they also teach the bird survival skills which are important.

And that's a great shot of the bird! It probably doesn't mind you taking pics. x)

Hope you recover from your crazy day! I'd feel tired too if I had a long day like yours at an amusement park. xD

Thank you! :3 Yeah, I know right ? It was really cool ^_^ (Especially the dragon)

~Thanks ^ ^ I feel a lot better now!
Ow x) Yeah, most of those rides are scary when you're waiting in line, but once you ride it, it's not so bad :D Hahah, you'll never know until you try it again x3
Wow, brain trauma?!? ._. That's really good to know... I'll inform my friends about that T-T

Yeah XD XD
Now that I think about it, the real reason for my laughter must've been because of the tickling in my stomach during the ride XD I mean, if I was waiting in line when I saw that happen I wouldn't go "HAHAHAHAHA", I'd probably go more like "huhuh" xD

OH... I knew I did wrong by picking it up ;______; But I just couldn't leave it be. I was scared the ants would eat it up because there were many ants in that area! D: (I don't know if they will, but after my experiences of seeing entire armies of ants eating up dead animals, kind of scared me :/) I hope it isn't too late to put it back now... I heard about animals disliking "human smell" (?) T_T

From now on, if I see any little baby birds on the ground, I'll just look at them and then walk away ;u;

And, thank you ^-^ I have recovered. Not entirely, but at least my headache is gone :3

That's a good point! It's probably the situation that makes the flying shoes funny. XD

It's okay, you didn't know. And the human smell on baby birds is actually a myth. Birds don't have a very good sense of smell. So it's okay to handle them but I'm sure if the parents 'saw' humans around their baby too often, they'd probably have more reason to abandon it.

That's good. Headaches suck! I think I'm super sensitive to stuff because I can get them pretty often if I'm not careful and push myself too hard. D:

A myth? :o
But...... it's dead now.. ;_;

Oh..try not to push yourself too hard :(
I also get headaches pretty often... especially when it's sunny outside :/
