Last Saturday was an all day field study for Nordic Mythology class. It was long and exhausting but interesting. We saw sooo much stuff… the Roskilde Viking ship museum, a burial mound, Viking settlement remains, ship settings, and even the site where Beowulf’s hall might have stood. Thankfully it did not rain. After the trip, … More Ships, Vikings, and High School Musicals… Oh my!
Today was bright, sunny, and wonderful. Too bad it’s only Tuesday and not next Saturday. Because Alexi will be here! Yay! But the sun makes everything better. And hopefully will make time pass faster too. My weekend was fun though, I attended two birthday parties with my family for some of their friends. I ate … More Sunshine
Wednesday my Gender, Body, and Sexuality class trekked to Malmö, Sweden for delicious pastries, gay marriage debates, and dinner at our professors house. Malmö looks so much like Copenhagen, it’s a little weird. The coolest part of the day was waiting for our delayed train at the station while cargo trains zipped by 5 feet … More I loved Sweden so much I fell off my bike

It’s the kind of snowfall that is calm and peaceful, definitely unlike the angry Nor’easters that attack Maine with forceful blizzards of stinging ice. The kind of snowfall you pray for in a country of freezing rain. After pulling … More It’s a hygge life

Why go outside in the freezing rain or biting sunlight when I can jump from place to place? In a city, the outdoors is only a backdrop to what hidden gems lie inside closed doors and dirty window panes, beckoning … More Looking through the glass
This weekend was the DIS short study trips with your core program group. I went with my European Culture and History:Prague group to southern Jutland to see how the history of the Denmark-Germany border region has shaped contemporary Denmark and people’s memory and identity. The trip was so much fun despite the foggy, rainy, and … More Short Study Trip: PhotoTour
I love Wednesdays. We don’t have class but do have day trips with our classes, if they’re scheduled. Last Wednesday was the trip to the DR station with Lost in Translation. But today, nothing. Which is great considering it snowed in the morning but then became freezing rain. I’ve been able to get my work … More Lazy Wednesdays
It snowed today!! I awoke to a winter wonderland just beyond my window pane. I love that first dusting of snow. It makes everything so quiet and pure. These are pictures from my backyard. This afternoon I went with Michael and Lotte to Nadja, my host sister’s, disco dance competition. It is seriously called disco … More Snow and Disco
