One week down!

So I have been in Denmark for exactly one week, thought it was time to update! I've had my first few classes. Danish will be hard - I think the hardest part about Danish is the pronunciation. Many words are similar in Russian though which is nice. I've been able to practice some Danish with my host family too which has been fun. For my Psych class, I have a practicum in a preschool. Every Thursday I'll have to go to Niva, another city, where I'll be working in a preschool with kids ages 3-6. I'm in the "forest group" meaning my group just goes to the forest every day and spend their days there. I'm pretty excited, sounds a bit like summer camp! My other class is nordic mythology - my professor is very tall and enthusiastic - by the end of class his shirt was soaked in sweat. I think it'll be an entertaining class.

I'm really enjoying my host fam. I've been eating pretty bomb food. We went to the grocery store the other day, "Fotex", which is their version of Costco, and bought some breakfast food for me (mm cereal). I also found out that you can go to any Butcher shop where they also sell cheese, and you can sample all of the cheese. I'm very excited to do this, sampling cheese is a dream come true for me!

I'm getting to know the city a lot better - both Helsingor and Copenhagen. It's been nice exploring, especially since the weather has been very nice the past few days. I got to see my friend Charlotte from camp who was in Copenhagen which was awesome - as well as meet some of her friends that live here. Next weekend - my Scottish friend Chris (also from camp) will visit me which I am really excited for!!

Me and Charlotte:

At the Luux with Dana and Nick (both from santa clara), at a DIS party where they played all American music and we got to hang out with all Americans. It was very nice though, really interesting to look around!

My pictures take too long to upload, so if you want to see more pictures -

Peace!
