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 ☺
