Hi friends,
Hope the week is treating everyone well. The quick update here is that it's snowing tons and I've now started my classes. Apparently this is the coldest winter Copenhagen's had in 14 years, who knew? Not me, but luckily I'd assumed all along that the weather would be intensely cold so it is living up to my expectations rather than exceeding them. Last year, it didn't even snow but then we couldn't marvel at these pics I've included.
I have a new friend. Her name is Doris, she's the neighbor and she is the nicest lady. She's retired and so comes to the apartment everyday to walk Perro. Yesterday I joined her, then we had coffee, chatted, looked at pics of her grandkids and recent trips to NY, Vancouver and Amsterdam. We're hoping to make a trip out to the beach for some good walking soon.
Had orientation yesterday which was good. I met 5 more friends there- the 5 girls sitting in my row. They were from Austria, Italy, Turkey, Belgium and Denmark (the mentor). We ended up leaving together with a plan to make dinner but sadly I had to skip out early for Perro's sake. Everyone here has been so nice. I met a girl in my first class today who all but took me by the hand to help show me around, helped me buy books, find the study rooms and student "cantina" for eats. She's studied abroad twice (Italy and Holland) and I get the feeling that many to most of the students here have. Everyone knows what its like to be "new" and people are generally interested in you. Being from the U.S., I'm one of the more foreign of the foreigners- interesting I hope!
Hope all are well!
