Hi everyone,

I realized the other day that it has been a while since I’ve given an update. It is absolutely crazy to think that at this point I only have eight more weeks in Copenhagen meaning I’m over half-way done with the second semester. That in itself is mind-blowing because I could have sworn that I just got here. Seriously, I think I started class, then within three weeks we took a trip to Stockholm then a few weeks later it was mid-terms and spring break!!

With that being said, I guess I should just do a short recap and then maybe do more in-depth posts later? We will see.

My classes this semester are incredibly thought-provoking. My favorite, Islam in the West, leaves my head in a tizzy after every class (that may be due to that fact that it is a level 300  :o) Either way, I’m learning so much from a more global perspective than what my classes last semester was geared toward.

Every Sunday, two girlfriends and make brunch plans which have turned into a surprising highlight of my time here. It gets me out of the house and into some pretty cool areas, with delicious food (that I couldn’t cook myself at home) and meaningful conversations. It’s my moment to escape from normal, everyday requirements.

The weather has been much friendlier since the sun is greeting us practically every day now and stays out much longer than it did. That in itself is amazing because it makes the days feel way longer and way more productive. It was a bit of a tease when it was warm enough to wear skirts outside, but now it’s returned to the mid-40s. Funny how when you start to get older something as simple as the weather has such a great impact on your mood. I appreciate it much more now.

Life here is more routine and comfortable than last semester. Which is probably why it’s going by so much quicker. Also, a possible reason why I don’t feel like I have that much to update on other than the day to day life that consists of cooking, class, studying, yoga, gym, etc.. with the occasional fun activity such as art museums or other outings. I might make it more of a priority to pinpoint those exciting moments and document them here in the coming weeks. Those are the moments I don’t want to forget.

Talk soon,
Chrisann
