Hosting a Friend.
As I’ve likely mentioned multiple times, my friend, Makoto, came and visited me for the weekend! It was so much fun and the weather was really nice. It was beautiful all week but I was scared that Denmark would have a change of heart and give us … Continue reading

Moving Too Fast.
Sometimes I move too fast. I eat fast. I walk fast. I read fast.
Sometimes I stress out too much about the small things.
Today, was a relaxing day. Today I didn’t do any homework, and I don’t feel bad about it.
Things have been really busy from the… Continue reading

My cute little front yard covered in snow. Not sure if it’s because I’m from Texas, but the idea of snow on my front yard just blows my mind in the happiest way possible. 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 [...]

I’ve gotten more than one question about housing, but I’m going to answer them all here. I can only give a definite opinion about living with a host family, because that is what I chose, but I can talk about how I came to that decision when I appl… Continue reading

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 [...]

15 Days
That’s how much longer I’m in Denmark. I honestly cannot believe how quickly my time has gone. The second half of the semester went by so fast because of all of the traveling and homework, and I’m kind of in shock. As much as I’m excited to go … Continue reading

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 [...]

Sahlep Satisfaction: Study Tour to Istanbul/Travel Week 2
When I first went to the Copenhagen airport to begin my next travel adventure, I was still honestly still a bit sad to have left Prague. But Istanbul soon proved to have its own advantages (for starters, we got a complimentary full meal on the plane both ways–Turkish Airlines is a new favorite). (For those [...]

Agnes Cupcake, Risalamande, Belgisk Vaffel. Heaven…
Another great (and delicious food-filled) weekend! Friday afternoon in my European Clinical Psychology class, we had a field study during class time since some people have a conflict with our scheduled Wednesday time. We visited a really cool social psychology clinic called SKC, where anybody with mental health problems can drop in and chat with [...]

Whirlwind Weekend
What a marvelous (but exhausting) weekend. Friday night was Kultur Natten (Culture Night) in Copenhagen, which is basically a chance for businesses to promote themselves with sales and activities. All you need to do to be able to participate is buy a Kultur Kit for 90 kr (which also provides you with free transportation for [...]

I Have Not Forgotten You!
Sorry about the lack of updates this week… surprisingly little has happened since I got back from Milan, and then now that things are happening, I haven’t had much time to post a blog about it! A larger post will be coming this weekend once I get some free time (I’m going to a baptism [...]

Host Family Living
It has been decided that I’m officially part of the family because I no longer get served first at dinner. Instead, I’ve joined the race to get food every night. I also get to laugh when my host brother sings Jason Derulo in the shower and when any… Continue reading

I Scream for Ice Cream
Blog update, as promised. First off, my field studies on Wednesday! They were both even better than I expected. First I went to the Davids Samling Museum with my Turkey at the Crossroads class. It looked pretty small from the outside—if I hadn’t known what we were going to see I wouldn’t have even thought [...]
