Greetings from Copenhagen!

I have made it to Copenhagen. Right now I am feeling the symptoms of the weary traveler.

My flights went well. It turns out there were about 45 or so DIS students on the same flight. The flight was short (only 6 hours and 45 minutes); however, the turbulence was the worst I’ve ever flown through. This made sleeping difficult - which does not help the jet lag. We arrived and were greeted by a slew of DIS staff members (and multiple check in points) and then transported to the University of Copenhagen. Here we proceeded to be given more information than this weary traveler could digest.

We received a very brief orientation to housing, then I got meet my host family. They are wonderful. I feel very at home. My host mother is amazing. She took me to the train station to get my transportation card, a very necessary item. And she has taken the day off tomorrow to help me figure everything out.

So, tomorrow is opening ceremonies. It is going to be an early morning (8am). After opening ceremonies it is a brief sightseeing bus tour of Copenhagen.

I don’t believe there is any amount of preparation that can be done before studying abroad. To think that so much about my life has changed in the past 24 hours is almost surreal.

But it is great!

Until Next Time,

Anna

P.S. – The picture on this post is of the desk in my room. Pretty nice set up ;)
P.S.S. – I apologize in advance for grammatical errors. It’s the jet lag.
