Hi Everyone,
I am sorry it took me SO long to complete my blog. I had quite a lot of things to talk about during my last couple of weeks in Denmark, and I wanted to make sure that I covered it all. I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures and photos.
Love
Katherine

5.16.10 – Heading Home
I am currently writing this post from the airplane from Denmark to DC, and I must admit it doesn’t’ seem real that I am headed home. This morning I got up around 8:00, so that I would be all ready to leave the house at 9:00. Charlotte (my host mom) did come home last night from the summerhouse as I was heading out to the hojskole, so she could drive me to the airport this morning. We left right on time and got to the airport with more than enough time before my flight.
At the check-in counter, I did see several people that I recognized. The biggest worry for the morning for all DIS students was the weight of our luggage. Fortunately, I just made the weight limit on both my bags, which is only due to some repacking of heavy items into an additional carry on last night when I got home. Although it has been a pain to carry around this heavy bag all morning, it was worth it not to pay what could have been upwards of $300 for overweight fees. Some of my friends weren’t as fortunate though. I noticed several people at the airport attempting to repack their suitcases to avoid the fees. Once I was all checked in, I said goodbye to Charlotte and headed through security to my gate.
Now, that I am on the plane it still all feels surreal. I don’t know exactly where I feel like I am going, but it just doesn’t feel like I am going home. Part of it comes from the fact that I simply cannot believe how quickly the end of the semester came. I don’t think I am completely ready to say goodbye to Copenhagen, and I am planning on not really doing so. Instead, I will just continue thinking about the all the amazing adventures that I have had over the past four months. I am also going to try very hard to keep in touch with all the people I have met while abroad – my host family, new friends who are now close friends, and teachers.
While I definitely had some ups (my host family and traveling) and downs (the train schedule and homework). I definitely enjoyed my time in Copenhagen, and now that I have 4 hours and 42 minutes until I will be home in Pittsburgh I think it is now time to finish this blog and start a new one…I mean I need to catalogue my adventures coming up in London too ☺

5.15.10 – Last Day in Copenhagen
My last day in Denmark was rather uneventful. I was able to sleep in a little bit. I then made myself breakfast and dove into the task of packing. Overall, it wasn’t too difficult, however it did require some strategic packing. After getting most of it all situated I showed and decided to go for one more walk around my town. Unfortunately, it was raining rather hard outside, so I decided to simply take the bus to the mall where I got some basic food sorts for lunch and dinner. I also purchased a new scarf, which I am rather thrilled about. On my way home (it had stopped raining by this pointed so I decided to walk back), I stopped at the bakery on the way home to get one last Danish pastry.
Once home, I continued doing some random packing up and then crashed on the couch to watch some TV. Probably the oddest part about my last day in Denmark was that I was home alone. It was okay, but it did feel kind of lonely. Another strange thing was as the day progressed, people’s Facebook statuses began reading “Back in the states” and “At home and already missing Copenhagen”. It was really odd to think about this, especially sitting at my home in Denmark.
At around 10:30, I was going to get ready to head to bed, when my friend Kasandra called me. She was the last DIS student at the hojskole and asked if I wanted to come over for a little bit. I was a bit tired, but I needed to go say goodbye at least. So I headed over to the hojskole for one last time. We simply sat around and talked for a little bit, and then around midnight I made my way home.
The funny thing was I don’t think the thought of leaving Denmark hit me until I got home. It just didn’t feel like it was time. Since I couldn’t stop thinking about things, I decided to watch a movie to take my mind off of things. I watched the Time Travelers Wife, which I really liked and would recommend to anyone. After that, I managed to fall asleep.

5.14.10 – Closing Ceremony
Today I took my time getting up. My first planned activity for the day was the closing ceremony and that wasn’t until about 2:30 in the afternoon. The only I thing I had to do beforehand was to return my schoolbooks to DIS. I will miss simply being able to “borrow” books next year. Since I was already up and I didn’t really have anything to do around the house, I simply headed into town where I returned my books, wrote some emails, and then just walked around town a little bit before the ceremony. This included finding two really cute and comfy dresses at H&M.
The closing ceremony was at 2:30ish. Luckily when I got there, I ran into some of my friends, so I was able to sit next to some people that I knew. It was a nice little ceremony. There were a couple of awards presented, the director spoke, and couple students spoke. I really enjoyed the student speeches; they did a very nice job, and they were funny and definitely relatable. The best part was definitely the fact that Carsten (my history professor) was the Emcee of the show, throwing in historical facts where he could.
After the ceremony, I then headed over to meet Dad and Bob at the hotel. Bob wanted to take a nap in which time, Dad and I headed over to the newer part of the city, Orestad – the area I was in for my last field study. We didn’t see too much, but I think Dad really enjoyed seeing the modern architecture and some of the designs in the area. We then made our way back into the center of town to meet up with Bob at the metro station and head to our dinner location. It was actually a restaurant that Dad and Bob had been to a few days before and enjoyed it so much they decided to go back. It was really quite nice, and a great location for their last dinner in Copenhagen. After dinner, we headed over to locale for the DIS closing party. Once nearby, I said goodbye to Dad and Bob. It was crazy that they had already spent the extent of their time in Denmark.
I then made my way into the club and was able to find my friend Gillian. I hung out with her for most of my time there, which was really nice. I am definitely going to miss that girl. In my time there, I was also able to meet up and say goodbye to some of my other friends. Again it was crazy thinking that I was already saying goodbye. It felt like only a few days ago that we all met.
I had decided not to spend the extent of my evening in town because I was determined to get to Hillerod to say bye to some of my friends at the hojskole. A few of them had early flights in the morning as well as packing to do and decided not to go into the city for the part, but there was no way I was going to let them leave Denmark without saying goodbye. It was quite a journey to get there though. I unfortunately missed my train by like a minute, which led me to miss the last bus once in Hillerod. Luckily, I did make it to the hojskole prior to my closest friends – Tatiana & Xue – going to bed. They all seemed exhausted though. After a little time there and multiple goodbyes (since I simply didn’t want to except it), I finally made my way home around 2am.

5.13.10 – Day In Hillerod & Gilleje
This morning I got up earlier than I wanted however Dad had talked about meeting at the train station a little before 10:00am, and I didn’t want to be late. Interestingly right as I got off the bus, I received a call from dad from the train station pay phone (he left his cell phone in the hotel room). He was shocked that I remembered to get there at that time because he didn’t really recall planning a meeting time.
All three of us then made our way through town to the castle. I think Dad and Bob were surprised by the town because it was more built up than they imagined. I think they also appreciated that the castle seemed more castle-like than the Rosenberg castle in the city, which they had visited a couple days before. We then gave ourselves about 1.5-2 hours to walk around the castle. At one point, Bob and I ran into this fun guy who must have been a historian or something because he knew A LOT about the castle. Therefore, we practically received a personal tour in a few of the rooms. I enjoyed being able to walk around it for a second time. After all it is this amazing piece of history that I passed by everyday, I had more than enough reason to appreciate it more than once. I only hope that Dad and Bob enjoyed it too.
Following the castle, we began the 10 minutes walk to my house. When we got there, we met up with Charlotte and Caroline (who had yet to leave, so I got a chance to say ‘hi’ and ‘goodbye’ again). After a little tour of the house and waiting for Caroline to get all of her things together for her badminton tournament, we all piled into the car. First, we dropped Caroline off at a friend’s house, then we made our way up to the summer house.
When we arrived at the summerhouse, Dad and Bob received another quick tour of the house (it is much simpler and smaller so it didn’t take very long). We then sat down for a few minutes while Charlotte got organized and waited for one of her friends to arrive. We actually surprised Charlotte’s friend, Vibe, because Charlotte didn’t inform her who all was going to be there. It was a last minute sort of thing.
Once the introductions were completed, we all went for a walk down to the beach and the harbor area. I think it really reminded Dad and Bob of the Cape. It is always fun to see the beach too. We stopped at the harbor for lunch, where we all got some sort of fish, which was delicious (and fried and unhealthy ☺). After eating and when impending rain appeared threatening, we decided to make our way back to the house. On the way, we actually ran into one of Charlotte & Steens’ friends who have a home right on the beach (it used to be an old school house there). They kindly invited us to their home for a brief chat and a little tour of the home. They are still working on renovating it (themselves), but it was neat to see how the aspects of the schoolhouse fit into the newer design.
Following our little visit, we finally made our way to the summer house, where we learned all about the coffee maker (Dad and Bob at least know what I am talking about) and had some afternoon coffee and cake…a past time I will miss when back in the states. After another hour or so, Dad convinced Charlotte that we really should be heading back into town, and let Charlotte and her friend get on with their girls’ night. Unfortunately, we had just missed the train (which only runs once an hour – this is a local train that runs to the very northern parts of Zealand). Therefore, Charlotte and Vibe drove us back to the Hillerod station. There, Dad and Bob said goodbye, and we made our way into town. I had decided to go in as well, since I didn’t have any other plans for the evening, and there was no one at the house anyways.
On the train ride back in, Dad and Bob mentioned how much they appreciated the afternoon spent with Charlotte and Vibe. It was definitely an experience they wouldn’t have even imagined receiving in Denmark. They also thought it was interesting to experience someone’s daily activities and to observe that they are not entirely different from our lives at home. I was so happy that they had a good time.
When we got back into the city, we headed to the hotel for a brief rest and to waste some time before dinner. We then found a restaurant on Nyhavn to eat in for the evening, and then after that I simply headed back to the train station for my ride home. I finished my day with a nice warm shower and a relatively early bedtime.

5.12.10 – Leadership Final, Last One!
Today marked the completion of my spring semester in Denmark. I woke up in the morning and managed to study for a brief period of time for my last final – Leadership. This was rather impressive considering I didn’t really have to study for it, if I didn’t want to. The final itself was an open-note/open-book exam, which consisted of analyzing a case study using the different models we learned throughout the semester. I also did some basic outlining for the final once I got into DIS. I went in early again since I really didn’t have anything to so at home; I also figured it would be a good way to encourage me to at least think about my exam.
The final itself was rather vague – as I mentioned it was simply a case study that we had to analyze and suggestion a correcting course of action for the leadership problem presented. I think I was able to coherently deliver my thoughts, however it is always hard to know with a test in that format. It has the capability of being rather subjective. I did manage to cover a lot of the material and crafted a rather well rounded analysis, however when I went back to read it afterwards, it definitely sounded rather vague and generalized at parts. I am simply not going to worry about it. After all turning in that exam meant that I had officially completed my junior year of college.
After my test, I then headed to meet up with Dad who at the time was poking around Magasin (the big department store in Copenhagen). We had a little trouble deciding what to do, but we eventually decided to go get coffee at Baresso and talked for a little while. It was nice to just talk about some random things for a while. We don’t always get to do that all the time. Post-recaffeination, we headed back to Dad and Bob’s hotel room, where Bob had been napping. It was a really nice hotel; it actually used to be an old warehouse and is located right on the harbor. Their room in particular had the best view looking over the harbor directly to the new opera house on the opposite shore.
At around 7:15, we began to make our way down Stroget and across town to meet up with my host family for dinner at a restaurant near Tivoli. Unfortunately, Sofie was not able to make it due to a year-end event at school, however the rest of the family was able to come. I must admit that sometimes it is a little weird introducing your host family to your real family, but in this experience and when they met my mom over travel break it seemed to go really well. We all had a really nice dinner – steak and a great salad bar (a difficulty to find in Copenhagen). We also exchanged a few gifts at dinner. Dad had gotten Charlotte and Steen a nice box of chocolates, and I was gifted with the best remembrance of Denmark I could think of: a Danish flag. It was perfect.
After dinner, I said goodnight to Dad and Bob and headed home with my host family. Once we arrived back at the house, I gave them my gift for them – the vase that I had bought them a couple of days before. They really seemed to like it a lot, which I was very happy about. Unfortunately, I also had to say ‘goodbye’ to Steen that night because he was leaving early the next morning for a golfing weekend in Sweden and would not be back prior to my departure for the states. It was really odd to say goodbye. First because, I wasn’t really the one leaving, at least not at that moment. Second because, this was the point I began to realize just how quickly my four months in Denmark had flown by.

5.11.10 – History Final
My history final wasn’t until noon, however there was no way that I could sleep in just thinking about it. Additionally, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to study at all at the house because I would be too anxious. Therefore, I headed into town where I did manage to get a little more studying done on the train ride in as well as once I got to DIS. My final itself wasn’t too bad; although the worst part about it was that I felt it was rather repetitive at parts. For example, I think there was one question, which was repeated three times just in different ways. Oh well. Overall, I feel good about it, although I am slightly anxious to get it back.
After my final, I simply went to meet up with Dad and Bob for the afternoon. We had a mission to find a nice gift that I could give to my host family. I had a basic concept in mind but not really a clear picture of what exactly I wanted. We ended up going to a really well known home furnishings department store located in the center of Stroget. With Dad’s help I managed to pick out a very pretty vase to give to them. I am very happy with it. My check out was rather interesting though. First, I got a new employee at the cash register who was having a little difficulties because he had to go down stairs and find a packaged version of my purchase. Then when I asked him to gift wrap it, he had some major issues with the paper length. At that point another more experienced cashier stepped in and finished it up. Then she ended up following us out because apparently, I could get my tax back if I filled out a form, although after I did that and took it to a desk on the third floor, I was told I couldn’t get the tax back because it was a gift, which was staying in Denmark. Overall, it ended up being more complicated than necessary. I was very happy with my purchase though, so it was worth it.
After that ordeal, we continued walking around a little bit until we ended up in “the most charming square in Copenhagen”. We were thinking of having dinner there, however we didn’t really like the menu choices, but since it was still early Dad and Bob sat down for a drink. In the meantime, I headed back to DIS to get my backpack and met back up with them in the square. It was nice just to sit outside for a little bit and relax.
When then made our way over to Nyhavn to locate a place for dinner. It became a little more difficult than we initially thought. I think Dad and Bob were starting to realize how hard it could be to find green vegetables in Copenhagen. It tends to be more difficult when you are seeking them out too. Eventually we located a place that we were all happy with and managed to have a very nice dinner. I was particularly excited because it was my first time eating at one of the restaurants in Nyhavn, and I simply felt it was something I needed to accomplish during my time in Copenhagen.
Following dinner, I made my way to the metro (this was becoming quite routine at this point) to head home. I did have my last final to study for the following day, so I wanted to make sure I had some time to do that. As well as attempt to get some sleep. Although with everything going on that task has been a difficult, regardless of how exhausted I have been.
