So I haven’t updated since Saturday, but I’ve been feeling kinda crummy the last few days… like super fatigued and tired! I seriously went to bed at 9pm the last two nights, and still felt exhausted the next day. Oh well, I’m feeling better tonight, after wine tasting of course! Hopefully tomorrow I am in tip top shape so I can bust out my Economics paper before I go to London on Friday!!!
I don’t really have a lot to say about the past few days… so in a few words, this is what I’ve been doing:
- Discovering the best (and cheapest!!!) pastry shop in Copenhagen with Gabi.
- Planning my upcoming trips for travel break! Gabi and I just booked a wine and cheese lunch for Paris… OMG SO EXCITED!
- Learning how to cook with my host family… Mom and Dad, when I get home, I am making you egg noodles. Delish.
- Reading about provider moral hazard and remuneration of doctors. ‘Nuff said.
- Clearing my head with yoga and running.
- Drinking Italian wine and learning that it is less interesting than French wine, but it is the kind of stuff that just tastes good. It makes me want to sit in a garden and gossip and laugh with my girlfriends.
- Reflecting on the past two and a half months…
On the walk home tonight, I started thinking about when I first arrived here in Copenhagen. I remember all of my emotions when I was at the airport. Excited for what was ahead, and so nervous at the same time. I literally knew no one in my program, I had never been to Europe, and I didn’t even speak Danish. There have definitely been some ups and downs while I’ve been here… I guess I could say it has sort of been an emotional roller coaster. However, I am lucky to have met some amazing people who are now great friends that have been right there with me. Now I have a reason to travel to New York so all the Danish people I meet don’t look at me like I am crazy when I say I am from the US but I have never been to New York :)
I’m getting sort of sad that I don’t have that much more time left in Copenhagen, but at the same time, I am getting excited to spend a couple months with Mom and Dad, eating veggies from the garden, cooking good food, and playing with my adorable puppies. I also miss driving my car, eating sweet corn, and having my Dad grill me delicious burgers and brats!
Honestly, I have never been this unsure about the rest of my life before. I came here thinking I had the next 6 years of my life all planned out… but now I don’t even know where I will be after I graduate college next year. It’s kind of exciting actually. I am young. This is what I want to feel like.
Enough of this philosophical mumbo jumbo. I’m tired.
Hej Hej!
