nothing too terribly exciting to report from here except that spring is finally here!! it has been absolutely gorgeous here, making us all giddy! i went to the top of the round tower, an observatory built by king christian iv, and took in the 360 degree view of copenhagen. (pictured) it was breathtaking, but the heavy wind might have contributed to that feeling...
the semester is more than half-way through. the good news is i got "a"s on every midterm! i studied hard so that is reassuring. as of five hours ago, spring break is officially here. i leave for bulgaria with my core class (called "cross-cultural encounters") tomorrow at 6:30 am! we just got our itinerary and it looks fantastic. we'll be going to an orthodox monastery, taking a folk dancing class, visiting a roma community, hearing lectures at the universities in sofia and plovdiv...i am really really looking forward to every single moment of it-- just not the part where i can't communicate because i can't speak bulgarian or read cyrillic. hmmm. oh, and it's supposed to snow heavily there, so while it is finally warming up in scandinavia we will be heading south into snow?! weird. i probably won't post or check email in bulgaria but am coming back to copenhagen for a day before leaving for the second leg(s) of my spring break journey. best wishes and vi ses!
