There is something special happening in Copenhagen right now. Although the freezing weather almost mandates the use of gloves, scarves, hats, heavy coats, wool socks, and the like, Denmark is turning into the coziest place I've ever been. I went for a run yesterday, and decided to purposely turn a direction that I had never run before. The next 4 hours of my day were spent exploring some of the hidden parts of the city that I hadn't seen before.
One thing that I am constantly reminding myself is that learning doesn't just happen in school, It's happening all the time. Looking back on the last 4 months, everything in my mind is altered.
Köln Cathedral - Cologne Cathedral (Tallest Cathedral Façade in Europe)Never let the enormous earth we live on disenchant you. Life is much better when you are actively engaging with it.
Beets and other varieties of root vegetables are quite good baked. Especially when coupled with lemon-caper chicken and rice.
Food is so fun to make. Mashed potatoes with green olives, cheesy cauliflower, cooked mushrooms, chicken parmesan, etc.When you miss somebody deeply, and know that you will not see them for a long time, don't forget you have a phone in your pocket. Sometimes it's worth the international fees to use the international functions.
No matter where my life takes me, I will always hold this particular time close to me. Copenhagen is the place where I: learned to cook (really), was the poorest - ever in my life, watched the sun come out at 4:30am, watched the sun barely even come out, learned a new way of eating, made my first and definitely not last drømmekage, became semi-fluent in a foreign language, traded a year of university for 6 months of so much more, learned about onions and their versatility, made too many friends to count, started my life of travel, pleased myself first, laughed, loved, cried, danced, lost, found, pretended to know, everything.
I find myself writing blogs only to keep them hidden and never post them. In fact, I wrote this blog earlier in the week with no intention of posting. But I really want to share my feelings and activities with you all.
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage industrial monumentIt's the center of the week now. Only 1.5 weeks until my long break, where I will be traveling to Lund, London, Oxford, and Barcelona. Cannot wait to see Leslie/ friends in the UK (along with Natalie's friends)/ Barcelona. I have never been to Spain before, and unfortunately I don't have the funds to take a longer trip throughout Spain, but it will be amazing to see a part of it.
I have a list with 10 or 12 things on it that are pressing, so I absolutely NEED to get going to. But I hope the world is wonderful for you all.
