Heading Home Soon

It is crazy for me to think that I am going home next week.  This semester has sped by.  With a week left I can't help but think, what do I still need to do before I leave?  When will I be back here next?  What did I gain from my experience abroad?

Going into this semester, I honestly did not know what to expect.  I wasn't sure if I would feel integrated into Danish culture, enjoy living in Copenhagen, or learn anything from the "studying" part of my study abroad experience.  But this semester has more than met my expectations, especially academically.  Many of the courses I took focused on a subject within a European context, which tremendously enhanced my learning experience.  For example, my Business class focused on the financial industry within the EU, my Art History class focused on european art, and my Criminology class focused on crime in Scandinavia.  

Another highlight of living here has been the traveling.  By the time I leave Denmark I will have been to: Denmark (hahah), United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Czech Republic....so many more countries than I ever imagined being able to visit!  

Tomorrow I am taking my last final exam and then I am off to Prague for 2 days with some of my friends.  I hope to write another post before I leave Denmark for good, but for now...it has been amazing living in Copenhagen!

Oh, and here are some fun photos from recent trips around Copenhagen:
