sleepless in copenhagen

ugh. i am so exhausted and haven't been sleeping well at night. my eyes are puffy and i could literally fall asleep at my desk. i can't stop dreaming about work, and it is driving me crazy. i might head out of here early and take nap before cooking dinner with friends.

so my recent days have been pretty busy, which is a double edged sword. i like having things to do, but i need a mental break too. work has been busy with ridiculous events. out of 550 students, there is only 1 that can't seem to leave me alone. she is always in my office and it's as if nothing is good enough for her. all in all, she is driving me batty.

tuesday night was a beer tasting. it went pretty well in my opinion. ive gotten to where i really enjoy drinking beer and understanding how complex it can be. i love beers that have a smoky flavor and hints of chocolate and coffee. so delicious, so smooth.

last night i had a chanterelle mushroom craving (yeh, it happens), so i headed over to ian's for some risotto with sauteed shrimp and a fabulous barolo. ian is a fantastic chef and has a great taste for italian wines.

too bad that my past few days havent been all that exciting. i am sure that the weekend has more in store. it should be a good one, so i hope i can actually sleep tonight. going over to a friend's for dinner... im making a thai curry with rice and a dessert (fløde boller? if so, it's coming from netto - im not that good). over and out.
