7 Days

I go home in one week. 7 days. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes. In other words, not a whole heck of a lot of time. I am having quite mixed emotions about my nearing departure date. On one hand, I am so incredibly excited to see everyone back home that I have missed so much over the last four months, but on the other hand I am having trouble coming to terms with the fact that this little fairytale of a semester is nearly over. I decided the best solution it to just not think about it (I can process my emotions on my long plane ride home). Instead of being sad about leaving, I decided to just pack my days full of activities so that I do not leave regretting that I didn't do something. It has been a bit of a challenge because I have papers to write and finals to take all week. I was actually relieved when it poured rain yesterday because it forced me to sit down and write two of my papers. I will be completely done with everyone on Saturday, which is good because my weekend it jam-packed. Besides studying, here is what I have been up to so far this week:

On Monday, I climbed the stairs of the tower of Church of Our Savior to get this beautiful view of the city. None of my friends were able to come but it was such a beautiful day that I decided to go anyway. I am actually quite glad I did. It was a peaceful place to reflect and just day in the city I have grown to love.

 Then on Tuesday, I took tradition Danish folk dancing lessons with this character (notice the shoes). My entire core class went, which was so much fun! My professor is the woman in the picture above. She's a hoot and a half. 

Today I went to the Louisiana modern art museum with Anne and Claire. I was very impressed with the current exhibit on Pop Art. The museum is located along the sea and has a beautiful outside sculpture garden, which was also fun to see.
