Ice, ice, baby

Hej Hej! So another week has begun. This is going to be a very difficult week for me to get through. I have two papers due this week, one for my Livability in the Modern City class and one for my Positive Psychology and an oral midterm in Danish. However, on Saturday at 2:30 PM my time I will be leaving for Portugal for one week from October 29th till November 4th!!!! Ahhhh! I am so excited. I will be spending a week learning how to surf, doing yoga, riding bikes, and other exciting things. Should be so fun!

Then, week two (Nov 4-13th) I am meeting up with my friends Victoria, Emelye, and Rachel in Madrid and Paris, and then my friend Bianca will be meeting us in Vienna. I am kinda nervous, but I was successfully able to navigate Switzerland and Germany without anything major happening so I can just hope that nothing too awful will happen during my two-week break. I am so excited to see more of Europe.

Last week, nothing too eventful happened. Just back to the old routine of classes and what not. This weekend I had a good time with my friends Kyra, Jen, Emelye, Rachel, Hayley, and Molly. On Saturday, night we went to a bar that was completely made out of ice! It was so cool! The glasses, the tables, the bar, EVERYTHING was made out of ice. We even had to wear these cool blue coats with gloves attached. We had a great time! Here are some pictures:







Sunday, I went to church at Copenhagen Christian in Nørrebro. I really enjoy attending church there and like that I am starting to forge friendships with some of the attenders who are around my age. The church is going to celebrate 100 years of being a church next Sunday and is having a really awesome dinner and many fun activities planned. I, unfortunately, will not be able to attend as I will be in Portugal next week and then will be traveling Europe the following two Sundays. After church, I got to spend time with Jessy. She moved to Denmark about 7 years ago, but she is originally from Chicago. I really like talking to her because she understands what it is like for an American to live in this country, yet has been here long enough that she can answer any questions I have about Danish culture. Sunday was very fun!

To close- here is a video that my group made for my Virtual Worlds and Social Media class about myths we have about Danes. Hope you like it!
