Tak For Minderne, Danmark

I can't believe the semester is now over. I can't believe that four months slipped by so quickly. I can't believe I am finishing up an internship in Baltimore and that, if I'm being realistic, I may never be in Denmark again.

I miss all my friends at the IPC. I miss the inappropriate yet oddly insightful conversations we used to have on the one and a half hour commute from Helsingør to Nørreport. I miss the fresh baked bread every morning. I miss the twenty kronor cherry wine. 

I haven't yet wrapped my mind around the fact that there may never be an opportunity to see all the people that made IPC into a home all together again. When I think about how our fellowship will now be reduced from rowdy house parties to disparate visits, I can't help but feel that I took our relationship for granted.

Before I get too sad, here a few pick-me-ups I stumbled upon online.

(One thing they neglect to mention...Denmark is freaking COLD.)

And for those of you who are looking for different sources of...pleasure...during your study abroad experience...another interesting fact about Denmark! >:]

All jokes aside, THANKS DENMARK. Even though there were days I dreamed of lying on the sunny beaches back in California, I am nothing but grateful for the wonderful four months I spent there! To living and learning! :)
