Tonight I returned from my "short study tour" in western Denmark. It was interesting, exhausting and most importantly a lot of fun. Getting out of the classroom and embarking on this little journey together was the perfect opportunity for my core class to really bond. We spent the past three days exploring and learning in various cities in Jutland, which is the main peninsula of Denmark. I had a great time and will share more details about the trip later because my bed is calling my name at the moment. But before I call it a night, I want to quickly share the highlight of my day today.
We got back to Copenhagen around 7:30pm this evening. Let's just say I was not in the best mood when we returned. I was exhausted from the trip and the long bus ride. On my walk home from the metro station I remember just dragging my suitcase through the snow, being angry about how cold it was and thinking about how much homework I have to do tomorrow. However, when I approached my house my mood instantly changed. I could see my host family all eating dinner together in the window and I felt a surge of excitement to be back. I walked inside the warm house and saw that they had set a place for me at the table and were awaiting my return. It was at this moment that I realized how much Copenhagen is starting to feel like a home away from home.
