Sweet as pastry

Though I do find myself impeccably sweet, I am referring more by this title to the opportunity to spend half a year abroad. Denmark is an incredible place filled with great opportunity and inspiring innovation. I cannot comprehend yet how lucky I am to spend the next six months working alongside the best, sightseeing Europe, and exploring a whole new country, language and culture. But that's not to say it won't come without its challenges. I'm happy to share this experience with all the people who have gotten me here through all their support. Keeping you updated is my reminder that I am never alone. And with that scared, nervous, excited feeling you start every trip with I'm happy to keep that in mind. With all of the unknown adventures, mishaps and experiences in front of me its a pretty big rush to see what's coming!

Sunday date day

Feb 8th-
I just got back from the movies and wanted to say that I know this movie is probably really cheesy but I thought it was cute! It's He's Just Not That Into You based on that book that came out, but it has a Love Actually approach with all the intertwining stories, and I don't know, I just thought it was fun. Maybe it was the date I had with myself going to the movies, it was great to go alone!! I don't know why I've never done this before, or rather considering I hardly ever went to the movies, why I didn't make any time for it before. When you go on a date with yourself you can order whatever you want at the snack bar and nobody is looking so you can order up a size of the popcorn and it doesn't even matter. Then you can be a major pig because you DID order up a size and you don't even have to worry about sharing it! It was really fun.. well minus the fact that people were applauding and ooh and ahhing during the film. Not sure if that's attributed to the fact that I'm in Denmark or because I was in the audience of a chick flick:)

Next up will be a trip to Cinemateket (http://www.dfi.dk/cinemateket/Cinemateket.htm). This is one of the only places you can see local and foreign films with English subtitles. I found out about this and some other exhibits and things through the Copenhagen Post (http://www.cphpost.dk/) which is the only all English news paper. Now that I'm better connected I'm sure Ill be more involved in what's happening. Today for instance I strolled into a beautiful art gallery and then went to an Aussie bar to watch some footie. It was all there this whole time- who'd have thought a simple tourist targeted news source would have been all I was looking for?!
