 I'm in Denmark ... and after making myself stay awake for 36 hours I think I'm on Denmark time too. My host family is really nice. It's weird how much they like each other. The siblings don't fight at all, and it's like they're best friends. The 14 year old son and the 12 year old daughter are probably the closest, which I find weird. Aren't they

Yeah man! Danish kids get along really well with their families in comparison to Americans! And I think the Danes bike more than anyone else in Europe except for the Dutch. It's pretty wild, and really healthy!

Also, I miss the DIS lounge, and fransk hotdogs, and schwarma, and the Danish chocolate milk. And living there.

One final note: In Denmark (or wherever abroad you go) you will have a couple of rough days where you may feel really miserable and alone, it sucks. But you have to keep in mind a few things: first, you're in a wonderful place, and have an amazing opportunity to learn about who you are; second, you are surrounded by good people, friends you've made in a short period of time but already seem in some ways as close as friends at school; third, the sun will shine a few minutes longer every day you are there.

Keep that Holy Spirit sustaining!

Thanks Axel, you always know just what to say. I never got to thank you for the long IMs after I had my pre-med meeting, but they really helped. You're going to be an amazing pastor.

I'm really freaking jealous about the bike thing. Turkey doesn't "do" bikes. And I started biking, like a lot, at the beginning of last semester- in boston. And now I'm getting fat. Because it is socially unacceptable to ride bikes.

Also I'm jealous that you have a family. I've got an American roommate (who speaks no turkish) and a russian roommate (who speaks turkish, but almost no english).
