Got up, met my friend Amanda for nutella and banana crepes (which we ate while sitting on the side of a fountain in the beautiful Copenhagen sun!!!!), then went to the library to study for my Danish oral midterm. After studying, I went to the gym, came home, did laundry, and ate pizza with my host dad and brother (Anne was in Fyn for work - Fyn is the island next to Zealand, which is the island Copenhagen in on, home of H.C. Andersen). After dinner, back to studying!
Digression: Danish is the hardest friggin' language on earth! It makes no sense, it is literally impossible to speak, and they use the same 30 words over and over in phrases but in a different order so the phrases have completely different meanings!
Today:
I woke up early for some last-minute cramming, and then it was off to school for my oral exam! Luckily, my first and last class of the day were cancelled, so I was able to sleep in a little more than usual, and come home early for the start of Spring Break!!!
My oral exam was okay I think, no huge mistakes, I saw my Danish prof. writing a lot of "+" on my grading sheet so it can't be terrible right? After that, I had my Environmental History class which let out early, and then I went to a bar for my friend b/c she thought she had lost her credit card there and I offered to check to see if they had it (no luck :-/).
After the bar, I went to my other friend's house so we could make cookies for our host families before we left! I made chocolate chocolate chip and she made oatmeal raisin with almonds! After the baking, we figured out our final train schedule for Spring Break, and I headed home for Sushi Friday!
After a nice dinner and an X-Factor recap show with my family, I headed into the city so I could say goodbye to a few of my friends before spring break. If you google pictures of Copenhagen, you will likely get a picture of a street called "Nyhavn" which has lots of colorful buildings and is right on a harbor. When the weather gets nice, all of the restaurants and bars have outdoor seating so you can sit and watch the boats come and go. So, since tonight was absolutely beautiful, we decided to sit out on the harbor and relax! None of the boats were moving b/c it was 10pm, but it was still a beautiful place to sit and just be with friends! After that, we headed home to pack, get our affairs in order, and get some sleep before our Spring Break adventures!!!
Tomorrow I leave at 12:45pm for Hamburg. From Hamburg, I take about 20 different regional trains (regional trains = no expensive seat reservation) to Barcelona. On the way, we will see Munster, Germany and Dijon, France! I think I mentioned this in an earlier post, but I will have extremely limited internet for the next two weeks so I may not be able to post while I am traveling. So, for now, I bid you adieu, I'm sure I will have LOTS of pictures and stories to share upon my triumphant return!!
Love and happy thoughts!!!
