Ode to Carroll, part two

In honor of my roommate Carroll, who came to visit me this past weekend from Edinburgh, I have composed a small poem summing up our adventures in Copenhagen together:


This weekend I got to see my lovely roommate,
I missed her a lot but those three days were great.
On Friday she had to come to some of my classes,
But that night we went to a club which all others surpasses.
We ate dinners cooked by my host dad,
Who also bought us danishes that made us very glad.
Saturday was spent walking around,
In the citadel, Christianshavn, and of course downtown.
We climbed up the very high spiral tower,
Luckily there were no rain showers!
Saturday night we went to Ice Bar,
Built completely of ice, its the coolest by far.
Our last day together we went back in the city,
To spend the day with my host sister Maja at Tivoli.
The three of us went on all of the rides,
And enjoyed eating the delicious(ly bad) food the park provides.
At the end of the day we went to the Living Room,
A great cafe with delicious hot chocolate to consume.
Sadly, the weekend was at an end,
Carroll went home and I now miss my friend.


That was essentially a summary of our weekend together, in poem form because I am avoiding studying for my two remaining tests on Thursday and Friday- Danish Language and Copenhagen. I got to show Carroll around the city on Saturday (with some help from my friend Aaron), and she met a lot of my good friends here in classes on Friday and when we all went out together in the city on Friday night. I had a really great time and am so glad she got to visit!
