Work? No thank you. Copenhagen? Yes, please.


Yesterday, I got out of class and made myself a nice lunch of apples, bellpeppers and cinnamon. Yes, it may sound a little obscure but it was delicious (and I don’t know how to cook). I then went to a quaint coffee shop with books lining the walls and had coffee with friends. Upon my return home to my apartment, I switched out of Danish class (too hard, too much work. I would never want to actually have to put effort into a class….) and into a class called Virtual Worlds and the Digital Consumer. Its about facebook, blogging, myspace, etc. Yes please. An actual part of our grade is blogging. I love Copenhagen. Then, I realized I should do some work. But I decided I didn’t want to so went over to Bethea and Lizzy’s apartment to go out. There was actually a fire (?!?!) at the club we were gonna go to so we switched plans. This morning, I woke up early to get my day started. I went to do the work I didn’t do last night, read for about 30 minutes, and decided I didn’t feel like doing that anymore. So I am currently sitting at a sidewalk cafĂ© in the middle of Copenhagen drinking a cappuccino and eating a real Danish. Yes please.
I think anyone who has ever met me knows that this does not sound a thing like me (except for the eating the Danish part) but surprise, this is the new Danish Kat. I have decided that my experience is more about falling in love with Copenhagen and the Danes than sitting in a library reading a book that in reality, I will probably do just fine skimming later.  Living the dream in Europe is more important to me that achieving that A+. An A- will do just fine. I am in love with life right now and I don’t think I could be any happier. The way of life here is simply so much more relaxed. No one is in a hurry, everyone is so kind, and everyone seems so much more focused on their quality of their time, not the quantity of how much can be squeezed into one day.
