There is nothing better than feeling like a little kid again. And that is exactly what I felt like for part of this week. Besides having to deal with a lot of grown up things, like booking traveling plans, checking bank accounts, picking senior year classes, figuring out housing for my summer internship...., on Tuesday and Wednesday I felt like I was a little kid exploring the world again.
On Tuesday I took a bike ride through the farm area around my Kollegium. I saw goats, sheep, yaks (they really exist!?), and horses. We had carrots with us, so we went up to the goats and horses and fed them. It was just like being at a petting zoo, except it was practically in my backyard... so even better!
On Wednesday, I had two field trips. It reminded me of my Elementary School days... except with a little more substance behind them. The first one was to Berlingske Media, which is the largest media house in Denmark. The office building was really cool. It was such an open environment, and seemed really laid back but still efficient. After that I sat outside on one of the statues outside of Parliament and ate lunch enjoying the lovely weather. My second field trip was to Parliament, where we had the youngest MP give us a tour of the place and talk to us about the role of the European Action Committee.
However, besides feeling like a little kid for a few days, by far the best part of this week has been the weather. We have been close to 60 degrees here for the last 3 days. Denmark is a completely different place when it's nice and sunny out. People start to sit out on the park benches or statues, all the cafes and restaurants have outdoor seating. Now I have a three day weekend. Unfortunately it is going to be filled mostly with reading, writing, and studying, but most importantly SLEEP!
