The fact that I have a three week travel break soon has finally hit me! Probably because I would much rather plan for that than study for midterms! I have two midterms this week - one on Thursday and one on Friday. Luckily the one on Thursday (20th Century Danish Architecture) is with a bunch of my friends, so we're planning on studying and ( Read more... )

So starting March 1st, "troubled youth" have been protesting against the taking away of a house they've been squatting in. They have taken over the streets, grabbing whatever they can (dumpsters, slabs of sidewalk, furniture) and barricading the roads. They're also setting dumpsters of garbage on fire, breaking windows, and throwing bottles with ( Read more... )

i got to see the sun AND moon today.

Last night I had people over for dinner at my kollegium. I was kind of nervous, because I didn't ask people who lived here if it was okay until two hours before 5 of my American friends infiltrated the kitchen, but they were fine with it! As always, indifferent to everyone, but whatever ( Read more... )

Today was very rejuvenating! I saw the Louisiana Museum again, which I LOVE. It's my favorite art museum by far. Today I decided to explore the grounds more because as you see in the pictures, last time the weather sucked. So I scoured the whole grounds, going down to the shore, back up to a bridge the looked over a sculpture and a huge mass of ( Read more... )

My moon boots were the best investment ever. It's funny to think that I survived foot-deep snow in minnesota with just tennis shoes...ahh the convenience of a car. But yeah, we got about a foot of snow here two nights ago and I'm having so much fun stomping in piles of it and not getting my clothes soaking wet! Plus I find it hilarious that I can't ( Read more... )

So I just got home now from hanging out with Sarah and Jamie. We have no class today, and I slept until 7pm yesterday, so we all decided some fun was in order. We basically just wandered around the city the whole night talking. Lets just say the guy at 7-Eleven was a bit confused by us ( Read more... )

Ahh...it felt so good to sleep in today! The Western Denmark study tour was...strange...but great...and annoying at the same time? It was a lot of getting on and off a bus, sketching, taking pictures, and not being able to do our own thing. But the nights were awesome. Thursday night we spent forever looking for something we saw on the map, only to ( Read more... )

I'm broken!

I'm kind of getting over this horrible cold...but now, today, my knee is so bad I can't even go down any stairs. I'm hobbling like I've never hobbled before. Which is strange, since I apparently "don't have arthritis" anymore. I'm sick of whining about it, but people don't seem to really care, and it's making me frustrated. They act like ( Read more... )

Wow, I can't believe how much I have gone out since I got here! It's sooo hard to say no! Oh, and now our teachers are encouraging this behavior. Great. All I can say is, I hope I can find places to go where I don't have to DANCE. I have fun dancing for the first hour...but then dancing slowly starts to equal fun only for man magnets. And that is ( Read more... )
