Hey Sorry I know its been a while since I posted. Someone at DIS thinks that there should be a work aspect to this whole study abroad experience. Fools. No but seriously this past week has actually been a fairly busy work week which led me to become VERY envious of the Danes I'm living with who have no homework, papers, or grades and just take the classes at the hojskole for fun. You can definitely notice a bit of a culture difference in how we approach school, Danish University classes usually only have one assignment, and tests are primarily reserved for Math, Language, and high school. So they're kind of suprised to see us doing the magnitude of work that is expected, especially around midterm time. The idea of spending a long time sitting and just studying is kind of lost on them, and every evening you can see at least a few of them looking at us with a mixture of pity and confusion. I think we've scared them about what it means to be in University, even though its never like that in Denmark.
In the midst of our bust week tho we went out for my friend Kassandra's 21st! We went out to a fantastic restaurant but we realized that Copenhagen is pretty dead on Tuesday nights, but we had fun anyway.
Now I'm in the middle of packing for BRUSSELS! I'm going there for a week with my Poli-Sci class, and then I'm flying to Rome with my friends Jillian and Ethan. Planning Rome had been kind of intense but now that its all said and done I'm really really excited.
