Man, what a day! Seriously, I’m still reeling from it. So, I woke up in Drobak, right? This cute little town on the Oslofjord. I mean, it’s picturesque, but today? Ugh.
First off, I spilled my coffee all over my lab coat. Like, who does that? I’m a biochemist, not a barista! I was already running late for my meeting at the Drobak Research Center. The streets were all cobblestone and slippery. I swear, I almost took a dive on Storgata. Classic me, right?
So, I finally get to the center, and guess what? My boss, Dr. Jensen, is in a mood. He’s pacing like a caged animal. Apparently, our funding got cut. Great. Just what I needed to hear. I mean, come on! We’re working on groundbreaking stuff here! But no, let’s just throw money at some random tech startup instead. Ugh!
After that lovely news, I decided to take a breather. I strolled down to the harbor. The view? Stunning. The fjord was sparkling, and the boats were bobbing like they were having a party. I could’ve just sat there forever, but nope! My phone buzzed. It was my buddy Lars. He wanted to meet up at the Drobak Aquarium.
I thought, “Why not?” I needed a laugh. So, I hustled over there. The aquarium is kinda small but super cute. They’ve got these otters that are just the cutest little troublemakers. I mean, who doesn’t love otters? But then, Lars shows up late. Typical. He’s like, “Sorry, man! Got caught up in traffic on Fagerstrand.” I rolled my eyes.
We finally get inside, and I’m trying to chill, but then I see this kid, right? He’s got his face pressed against the glass, staring at the fish like they’re the most fascinating thing ever. And I’m like, “Dude, they’re just fish!” But then I remember being a kid, and I was just as mesmerized. It hit me, you know?
After the aquarium, we hit up this little café on the corner of Torggata. I ordered a cinnamon bun, and let me tell you, it was heavenly. I was in my happy place, munching away, when Lars starts talking about his new project. He’s all excited, and I’m like, “Dude, that’s awesome!” But inside, I’m thinking, “Why can’t I have that kind of passion?”
Then, outta nowhere, this storm rolls in. I mean, one minute it’s sunny, and the next, it’s like the sky opened up. We dash out of the café, laughing like idiots, trying to find shelter. We end up hiding under this awning on the corner of Drobak’s main square. I’m soaked, but I’m laughing. It’s ridiculous.
Finally, the rain stops, and we decide to walk back. The streets are all shiny and fresh, and I’m feeling kinda poetic. Drobak is beautiful after a rain. The colors pop, and the air smells like… well, wet earth.
But then, I see this guy. He’s trying to sell these weird trinkets. I mean, who buys trinkets in a storm? I’m like, “Dude, get a grip!” But he’s all about his hustle. I respect that, but c’mon!
By the time I got home, I was exhausted. I flopped on my couch, still in my wet clothes. I thought about the day. It was a rollercoaster. Ups, downs, and a whole lot of unexpected. Drobak, you crazy little town, you never fail to surprise me.
So, yeah, that was my day. Full of spills, thrills, and a bit of rain. Just another day in the life of a biochemist in Drobak. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
