Writing from my first full day in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Holy smokes, I am actually here.
Where do I begin?
Longest f*cking flight/layover? Making new friends? Finding old ones? Not sleeping? Jet lag? CLASS?
It is all happening right now. I am completely overwhelmed but really happy.
The journey began on the 22nd at 6:00am when I woke up in my parent's house to my alarm to get ready to go to the airport and fly across the world. I get to the airport, feeling good. Then, my dear mother hugs me goodbye at security, and I start crying my eyes out. The old lady next to me through security tries to console me and joke and all I managed to do was nod and smile with a face wet with tears. Not cute.
After making a friend on the plane, having a few beers in Toronto during my 6 hour layover, a 8 hour flight to Copenhagen, I finally made it to my place. I live in the closest dorms to campus in downtown Copenhagen. Check it out here.
It is a 3 story building with 6-10 bedrooms on each floor and each floor has its own kitchen and living space. Each room has two people in it, and of course, I got the smallest possible bedroom shared with a sweet/crazy girl form Atlanta. Holy smokes, I'm living with 12 girls.
Anyway, got lost in the city today, missed my family, and made a bunch of friends. Even connected with my high school BFF Jens who just so happens to live here.
These are some pics from today from my scavenger hunt around the city.
Royal Gardens (Hello, CU Boulder?)
Capital Building:
