Study Abroad: The Countdown Begins

In less than 6 weeks, I will be flying to another continent to start my semester in Copenhagen!

It’s a bit scary, because my passport is still in San Francisco with the Russian consulate and I’ve barely started packing.  Also, for my first time in Europe, it’s a little intimidating to imagine living in a country where I don’t speak the language.  I need to spend more time working on some basic Danish phrases so I’m not totally unprepared when I get there and have to buy groceries and other necessary things.  For now, though, it’s time to enjoy my last month and a half of summer break in the United States!

Study Abroad: I’m Even Excited About Paperwork

I got an email today about starting the paperwork for my Russian visa!  Even though I still have about four months until I leave, the visa process will actually require me to be without a passport for some time so it has to be completely done before I leave for Denmark.  Luckily, DIS is going to help me through all the steps.  And despite the extra paperwork, it’s totally worth it to be able to spend a week in St. Petersburg!

Planning for Study Abroad

I’m studying abroad in Copenhagen in the fall!  I’ve been accepted into the Danish Institute for Study Abroad, and I’m super excited about it!  Basically all I want to do is research the places I’m visiting when I should be studying for finals.

These are the places I’m for sure going to in the fall.  Which includes Western Denmark, St. Petersburg, Krakow & Auschwitz, hiking through the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, Amsterdam, and Paris with an emphasis on museums.  Hopefully I’ll be able to arrange a couple other trips on the weekends, but this is most of it.

I’ve never been to Europe before so it’s been unbelievably exciting to plan out trips and look at pictures on the internet.  I still have another quarter of school here in Evanston, but shortly thereafter the official countdown will begin!
