Wednesday, May 22, 2019 I slept through the night! Well, mostly. My body still thinks 1pm Chicago time is a great time to need the bathroom, so that happened around 3am, BUT I went right back to sleep. As someone who enjoys sleep, this is an important victory. Okay, onto the more important things. Today,…
Day 3 – Street markets, food, and fun
Tuesday, May 21, 2019 Day three started very early as I still wasn’t able to sleep through the night. I woke up around 3 again, and despite counting many, many sheep, wasn’t able to go back to bed. Perhaps I should have Googled what “South Koreans count when they can’t sleep” but it’s too late…
Day 2 – Blisters and BBQ
Monday, May 20, 2019 Well, as we learned from Day 1, I didn’t sleep through the night the first night (spoilers I didn’t sleep through the second night either). Today we didn’t have to be anywhere until 12:30 to give everyone time to adjust to the time change, settle in, unpack and all of that. …
Day 1 – We are getting there…
Saturday, May 18 – Sunday, May 19 It’s 3:17 am local time and jet lag is hard. I should be asleep, but I’m not, so no time like the present to document the first 24(?) or so hours of my Korean adventure. I’m in Korea! Surprise if you didn’t already know. As part of my…
Day 32 – I got distracted!
I apologize for the delay for the photos on somewhere that isn’t Facebook. Below is the link to my Google Album. It should work just fine but if you have any trouble seeing it, let me know. Being home is nice. I have gotten back in the groove of things and am officially not jet…
Day 29 – Back home to the states
Well everyone, I made it home! It was a journey, but well worth it. My goodbyes were hard as we all left the apartment. We are making plans to see each other in the future, but it’s only been a few days apart, and I already miss those guys so much. Got to the airport…
Day 26 – The last night
Today was my last full day in Copenhagen, and I am in complete and utter denial. Twenty seven days have gone too quickly, and it was easily one of the best months of my life. Today our class officially ended in the best way possible. There was no final, we got to sail Viking ships…
Day 25 – It feels like home
It’s Thursday, and all I can think about is how lucky I am. I have been blessed to always have a happy, love and laughter filled home. Both Mt. Prospect and Milwaukee are home to me, and now Copenhagen is too. Home is where your heart is, and Denmark has stolen mine. Everything from the…
Day 24 – The Third Palace
I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! I only have one more day of class in the classroom. My paper is done and ready to be handed in, and everything is beginning to wrap up. My housemates are beginning to pack and say their goodbyes, but we still have 2 days! I’m not done with Copenhagen…
Day 23 – Den Lille Havfrue
Today was a simply wonderful day. My words can barely describe it, but, as always, I’ll do my best. This week in my class we are focusing on contemporary works that reflect Viking culture. Today was spent discussing and watching Game of Thrones. If you didn’t know, I am a fan of both the show…
