Post Study tour

The rest of this week has been kind of weird after the study tour. Thursday and Friday felt like the weekend, and then I got another weekend YAY! Thursday I had to meet with my proxy group from my core course to work on our presentation on using tree rings to show what the climate was like in the past. My group consisted of Jessica, Brianna, Anne, and Sarah. I think we were all still not quite ready to go back to boring school work after the study tour, so it took us about three hours to put together the presentation. Oh well. After getting slightly lost with Alison on the way to the Center for Ice and Climate, (where our professors work and where we were giving our presentations) the rest of that went well. After the presentations were all done, I went with a few people from the class (Lauren, Jessica, Brianna, Eric/Eli, Audra, Brytne) to go climb up the spiral steeple that I posted pictures of earlier. Upon arrival we were greeted by a sign that said it was closed due to weather. Seeing as it was a super beautiful day, we assumed either they saw us coming and wanted to annoy us, or that it was because it was too windy. We consoled ourselves with ice cream and a quick trip to Christiania. We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting outside by the royal library enjoying the weather and waiting until 18:15 when we were again treated to dinner by DIS at Riz Raz, a vegetarian buffet. Yesterday I decided to forgo homework because the weather was yet again phenomenal. I did do some work on the train up the way to Helsingør. There I met Brianna, who lives in a Folkenskole there, and also Eric/Eli and their friend Dani (they all go to Haverford). We walked around the town a bit, wandered around Kronborg Slot aka Hamlet's castle, then hung out on the beach a bit. I only dove in once, and i surfaced face to face with a jellyfish. My host dad assures me that the jellyfish don't do much, but still...
Today is going to be pretty chill. I was supposed to meet up with a group from my Danish class at the National Museum, but the girl who was going to organize that did not, so that will be done later. On the agenda for the rest of the day is finishing up my HW, playing games with my host family (Risk, Settlers of Catan, Cosmic Wimpout  are possibilities) and dinner at my host mom's parents house. Should be a nice day. And I hope you all are having a great day too. Enjoy the end of summer!
