Thursday was so, so nice. It was supposed to be just a normal school day, but then I got to meet all my favourite people and make some really cool friends by the end of the night. It was fantastic seeing Brenna again over lunch, and after hangin… Continue reading

Exploring Tallinn and Stockholm, the Cultural Edition Part 1
Hey everyone!
I’m back in the land of people who have time for things. After a week with some pretty bad news, two midterms, a presentation, a 10 page paper, and lots of reading, I am having a perfectly relaxing weekend. Now that I finally have a… Continue reading

Wandered into a cute cafe near Kongens Nytorv and ordered one of the best tuna sandwiches that I’ve ever had. It’s good to be a pescetarian here in Copenhagen! Continue reading

Short Study Tour Day Two
Day two, Friday, was a busy day. Early wake up and two academic visits.
I continue to love breakfast in Denmark. The hostel had a great array of breakfast foods. I particularly loved the huge wedges of cheese and the rotating wire cheese slicer. The … Continue reading

Once a List-maker, Always a List-Maker
So, this will probably be my LAST BLOG POST before my return to Seattle. Crazy, scary, exciting? Yes, yes, yes. The past few days I have been re-reading my earlier blogs, and it’s so funny to think back to my first couple of days here, when I was so unsure of how my semester would [...]

Stage One: Denial (and maybe a bit of Bargaining)
I really cannot believe I only have 3 days left in Denmark. The strangest part is not that I’m going to be leaving, but that I don’t know when I’ll return. It’s crazy to be saying goodbye to everyone I’ve spent the past 4 months with, not knowing when or if I’ll see them again. [...]

Feelin’ Classy
I must warn you, this won’t be the most FUN or EXCITING post as it is intended to be packed full of informational material for all you prospective DIS students out there. Basically, I promised I’d talk more about all the classes I took this term, so here goes. I’ll also review all the housing [...]

DONEZO (and some other good news).
Yes you’re reading that correctly–I’m completely DONE with all my work for the semester, with one week left to enjoy Denmark (a fact I’m not prepared to deal with quite yet). I’ve been doing all kinds of fun things, though, which is not exactly helping me to get ready to leave… On Wednesday, I got [...]

Never Want to Say Goodbye
So I’m (almost) officially done with work now. Just one test left on Friday, and I’m home free! That means more time to eat–I mean blog. I’ll start by catching up on my weekend, which was busy but lots of fun and very Danish. Saturday was my host farfar, Eric’s (Søren’s dad) 70th birthday party. In the [...]

Gone With the Wind
Yeah I’ve been sitting on that title for about a week now… My apologies for the delay of this post. Lots of work with very little motivation does not equal blog post, apparently. But here I am, back in business, ready to tell you about my trip to Amsterdam! And some other stuff too. Amsterdam: [...]

Turkey Day
Well, I meant to do a quick update post-Thanksgiving and pre-Amsterdam, but obviously that did not happen. My apologies. Here’s the first part. Amsterdam update still to come. Thanksgiving was fantabulous. I was pretty stressed about it, because we were cooking for seventeen people and neither me nor Charlotte had made most of the foods [...]

Famous for a Day
So you remember what I said about that new refrigerator from Bingo Banko? Didn’t exactly work out that way. I’m sure you’re shocked and dismayed. I did get a couple of (separate) full lines though! Unfortunately that happened when we were going for the whole board… Still, it was a really hyggeligt time with my [...]

Getting in the [Eating] Spirit
Okay, so, yes I did intend to do a little better blogging-wise this week. And yet here I am on Saturday, once again, writing a post about the whole week. My work ethic has not exactly been in tip-top shape since returning from travel break, so there are many things that probably should have gotten [...]

Rome
Our final destination for the travel break was Rome. We had a lot to do in only two days, but we managed to squeeze most of it in while still having a good time. We arrived at night, and started nice and early the next day with the Colosseum and the F… Continue reading
Florence
Florence was the first place we traveled to that didn’t involve waking up really early or arriving in the dead of night. It was great. And our hostel was one of the best of the trip- it looked like a hotel, was right down the street from the duomo, a… Continue reading
Venice
I’ve always heard about how amazing Italy is and totally didn’t believe it. I thought there was no way it could be that great. And then I went to Italy and it looked like this.
Seriously, though. I loved Italy and Venice was a great place to start… Continue reading
