Beginning of April 2024

I don't even know where to begin! I feel like it's been forever since I last said anything on here!! Much like I mentioned before I have had non stop class work. It's almost like I'm actually taking college courses while I'm in Denmark 🫣. Anyways besides all the exams and papers I've done recently, Franny and I took an awesome trip to Amsterdam last weekend! It was incredible. The best part was getting to see the tulips, but seeing Amsterdam was the only trip I had on my bucket list before coming to Europe ☺️. I was so happy I got to share this experience with another person and I'm especially glad I got to share it with Francesca 🥰. We went on a canal cruise and explored all the places our favorite dutch people (Sophie and David 🤭) told us to go to it was honestly just so incredible to get to be in a place I had only ever heard about from my grandparents ☺️. Honestly there was only a week between when Fran and I got back until I left for my next trip (aka where I am now (don't worry I'll tell you all about it soon) 🫣). Honestly not a super ton happened in the past week as I was basically a shut in with my exams this week. I will say I did get out on Wednesday and had a nice brunch with Francesca and Raiden and then went walking downtown with Raiden in search of a cute light jacket (no luck). Then for dinner Raiden and I (jesus Raiden and I hung out all day today... here's your feature Raiden!!!) we made homemade chicken nuggets 🤤. They were soooooooooo yummy, but they were missing one key thing... RANCH. I had to dip them in some yucky BBQ sauce that I am trying to use up before the end of the semester. Anyways.... My next busy day (with things you may actually want to hear about) was Friday night. As a goodbye send off for frannys trip to meet up with her family Raiden, Francesca, and I all went to all you can eat sushi (and I think I may still be recovering 🤢). It was delicious and we all ate soooooo much, but by the time Saturday morning rolled around we were all feeling a little icky. Raiden seemed to get hit the worst and honestly I've just felt kind of nauseous with a few other tummy troubles. All this to say it was actually so yummy and I likely will not learn from my mistakes and will return again before leaving. Once we got home we watched a movie... friends with benefits which was actually quite good, but I ended up staying up way later than normal. For how late I stayed up, I got up that much later in the morning and started my busy day. I actually shocked myself at the end of the day how much I had done. I started the morning off with a quick trip to Hart bakery (sooo yummy, but honestly my favorite so far has been BUKA 🫣) I also quickly picked up a coffee from Prolog (best coffee I've had in my life 😫). I then had to run over to the student hub to print some papers I needed to sign for my job this summer!!! and I hurried back home to get ready for my picnic with Angela and Cole! I even went so far as to buy a picnic blanket 🫣. After Angie had finished her homework we headed to a flea market in Frederiksberg just to check it out (again no cute light spring jacket 😢). We then stopped in to the closest Netto to grab some food for our picnic and grabbed some really yummy snacks 🤤. We then went to search for a picnic spot and ended up in the middle of Frederiksberg Gardens. It was a gorgeous day outside and we spent so long just chit chatting and eating our little snacks and truly just enjoying one of the very few nice days we get in Copenhagen. After we were done with our snacking we made our way to the cisterne. IT WAS SO COOL, but sooooo eerie and spooky 👻. The cisternes are like this little group of tunnels by the frederiksberg palace. They are doing an odd exhibit there right now so that it was completely pitch black down there basically and you couldn;t see muhc, but Cole found it very calming and meditative. Angie and I were just trying not to fall into the water or get chased by some spooky creature 😂. On our way home we ended up walking past the zoo and I GOT TO SEE A BABY ELEPHANT 😍. It was so adorable and I don't know if I have ever seen a baby one before 🥲. Anyways we had one last activity for the night a couple hours after we got home. We went to Reffen and I BIKED for the first time in Copenhagen. It was so fun.... but it did start raining on us 7 minutes into the ride after we checked to make sure it wasn't supposed to rain 😔. I ended up getting a hot dog because it seemed to have the same things as the one in Iceland, but truly was not even close to as good 😢. We biked back home after our dinner and I finished packing for my trip and said goodbye to all of my friends 😭. Anyways I can't wait to share with you what I'm up to this week and you might even get a new post within the next week instead of waiting half of a month 😂.
