If you can believe it, today was even less exciting than yesterday. I got up this morning and hung around the house doing some random things on my To Do list. Then I headed into town around 11:00. This was a little early, but I needed to print something off for one of my classes. I then went off to my two classes for the day. First was Danish, which only seems to be getting more difficult to understand the nuances between different words. Second was Leadership Across Cultures. We all had small group presentations to give in class today, which took the entirety of the class. It definitely made class go by quickly, however since the presentations were all based off the same thing it was kind of monotonous.
After class, I decided to head home. I didn’t have any reason to stick around the city, and additionally there were reports calling for a snowstorm this evening and tonight. DIS even warned students to be wary of the weather because if it got too bad the trains and buses had the potential of being stopped. I definitely didn’t want to get stuck in the snow with no way to get home, so clearly the smart choice was to go. Even on my train ride home, I could tell that it was starting to snow a lot. It is an interesting kind of snow though. It is wet and small flakes that get blow around a lot by all the wind. The hardest part is walking through it because you cannot see where you are going because you have to keep your head down otherwise you snow in your eyes. Once I got home though, it was nice to be in a warm home and relax a little bit before dinner.
I don’t have much planned for the evening, but I think I am going to try to tackle some of my laundry and do a little preparation for my short study tour visits on Thursday and Friday. Overall, I am just going to try to hang out with my host family though. I also have the day off tomorrow because we are leaving for the study tour early on Thursday morning. I don’t know what I am going to do yet – maybe walk around my town again. However, that all depends on how much snow we get and my willingness to go outside in the cold.
FYI – After dinner I was talking with my host parents and used two words that they had never heard before: discombobulated (which I actually had to look up to make sure it really was a word even though I use it all the time, thank goodness it is) and plethora (such a great word!).
