I have absolutely lost track of time and have not entered anything into my blog since mid September. So this will be a quick summery of everything I've done since then. After the short study tour to Jylland, my host mom had her 40th birthday. She threw a GIGANTIC Octoberfest part in our backyard the day that I had to leave for Germany with my holocaust and genocide class. Fortunately I was around to help set up and also to see a lot of the guests arrive before I had to leave. My class went on a trip to Hamburg, Germany [View Full Entry]

I just got back from GREENLAND! If i could describe Greenland in a few words, they would be: snowy, cold, and rather barren. The trip was really eventful, starting with day one. I woke up with a really sore throat. Our flight was supposed to depart from Copenhagen at 9:30am on Monday. When all 30 of us arrived at the airport at 7:30 to check in, they told us the flight was to be delayed until 2pm due to mechanical issues with the Air Greenland plane. We were all tired and upset with this information, but we made the best out [View Full Entry]

Hej! Picking up from where I left of last time.... I attended the F.C. København vs. Brøndby soccer game with all of the students in my program who are taking a Danish language and culture class. We had a lot of fun watching the game and also watching the people who watched the game; there were some die hard fans. The following weekend (Sept. 5th and 6th) I went on an adventure trip to Sweden. At 7:30am around 40 students showed up in downtown Copenhagen to depart for Sweden. We took a ferry from Helsingør (in Denmark) to Helsingborg (in Sweden). [View Full Entry]

The past few days I have been in Western Denmark, aka Jylland again. I got a really bad head cold the day before we left, which was highly unfortunate, but I survived. We left Copenhagen at 7am in the coolest bus i have ever seen. This bus was like a space bus, it had blue track lighting, a full bar in the back with a Heineken tap, like 10 TVs, reclining seats...it was AWESOME. (all the other groups got normal charter buses) So we drove over the Great Belt Bridge which connects Sealand and the island of Fyn. In Fyn we [View Full Entry]

Hej! I have just spent my last day at DIS orientation and boy was it eventful! I arrived into Copenhagen on Saturday afternoon and my host mom picked me up from the airport. She brought me back to the house where she showed me around and we sat and talked about how they did things, and how i was used to things, and basically how we were both really excited. She had a DIS student stay with her about 9 years ago, and raves about it, and I think its nice that she kind of knows how things are supposed to [View Full Entry]

Hello, hello! I am not sure where to begin since I have been slacking, and have already been in Denmark for 8? days. So I guess i will just start from the beginning. I left Lewiston, flew to Pullman UGH. Then to Seattle...then to Chicago...then to Copenhagen where I had to literally run through the airport to pick up my bags and check them back in becaue the lady in Lewiston couldnt check them all the way through for some reason. At the gate my Dads cousins wife was waiting for me because he was on the flight with me from [View Full Entry]
