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.
