I'm BACK!

Yes, I do realize that it’s been far too long since I’ve written, BUT I have a good excuse!  Midterms, and THREE WEEKS OF TRAVELING!

The past (well, how long has it been since I’ve written?) few weeks (?) have been a complete and total whirlwind—some of it seems so real, but some was also such a fairytale dream.  DIS midterms went well, nothing too major, and I even got an A on my Danish oral exam (generally because of my fabulous host family).  With that, I packed up everything in my backpack and hit the road for a few weeks!

Week 1: Study tour to London/Oxford, England.  I was really not expecting to like London, and I couldn’t tell you exactly why.  But—to my great surprise—I found myself falling head over heels in love with it, and I can’t quite describe that either.  Even in the rain, it somehow felt just as it should be, and “my city.”  We did have generally good weather though, and loved just walking around and taking it all in.  The second night we were walking around Covent Garden, and randomly decided to buy spur of the moment tickets to “Wicked,” about two hours before show time.  BEST decision of the trip—the show was amazing, and it was fun to do something so spontaneous with friends!  We all bonded over the typical tourist spots, but also eye opening visits to, notably, Edelman (huge PR firm), TNS World Panel (market research analysis firm), and The Telegraph (newspaper). ..aka…I’m meant to live and work here.  : )   So many more good things to say about London…I’ll come back to this one later.
