Hej!
Well it’s been a week since I arrived here in Copenhagen and I’m finally getting settled in! I was most worried about the flight?(I’m not the biggest fan of flying), but it actually wasn’t that bad. I arrived a day early and couldn’t move into my apartment, so my “buddy” let me stay on her floor in her apartment. Quick side note- I’m SO thankful that CBS has a buddy program that matches exchange students up with a native to Copenhagen. There would have been ZERO chance of me actually getting to the right destination if I didn’t have her help. She quickly explained the public transportation to me, and took me to get my Visa finalized. What a stress-reliever! A couple of days after I arrived, she invited me to her cousin’s birthday party. I got to a experience an actual Danish birthday, and I loved it! We had all of the traditional cakes and pastries, along with homemade hot chocolate, tea, and coffee. It was fantastic! Since then I have been locating my classes on the campus and have begun preparing myself for courses to start. I also had the chance to visit downtown Copenhagen and locate a few of the touristy attractions. It was very cold, so I’ll be glad to visit again in the spring when th
e weather is much warmer.
Today I went for a run, and while I was out it started snowing! I was so excited because we hardly ever get snow in Texas, and if we do it’s usually ice. I was filled with such joy that I started running faster down the street and held out my tongue to catch the snowflakes (I’m sure the locals thought I was crazy), but that’s okay! This city is beautiful and the snow has made it even better. Tonight I’m going to visit a friend from Germany who I met earlier this week. She is throwing a get-together, and I’m very excited to meet other exchange students here at CBS. It should be fun exchanging stories and learning about there culture and background. I’ll have to provide an update on how it goes! As for where I’ve traveled, so far it’s only been in Denmark. I’m planning weekend trips for myself later on in the semester, but I’m trying to keep my budget in mind and not overspend. There are many ways to provide yourself with a nice trip here, but unfortunately Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities to live in, so I might not be traveling as much as I expected. That’s okay though, I’m thrilled to be in this city and get to experience all the culture and picturesque-scenery it has to offer! That is all for now, I will be updating y’all again soon! Hej-Hej!
