Last Week in Denmark

Well, it is official. I am done with school. I leave in one week, Monday May 22. I have been busy with my final project for 3 weeks, and just had the presentation yesterday. It went very well. The project was a park pavillion, and was based on one of the 5 senses. I chose sound. It was an outdoor ampitheater that functioned as a resting place, a reflection area, as well as a small concert hall. The pictures say it all...

It's sad that I only have 6 days left in Copenhagen. However, I'm glad I'll be going home, too. I miss friends and family, I miss my girlfriend, I miss being in the US! Last week was the most beautiful weather of the entire semester. The temperatures were in the 70's, the wind was gone, and I could wear shorts and sandals. Life was good last week. My roommate from Kansas State came up from Italy where he was studying to visit for the week. (Thank you Alex! I had a great time, I hope you did too!) Although my project was due this past Sunday, I neglected it as much as possible to go outside and enjoy the last of my days in Denmark.

To celebrate my last full weekend here, I had a BBQ last saturday. All the American Students in my dorm came to it, as well as about 12 other Danish students as well. I spent all morning making BBQ ribs and chicken, coleslaw, cornbread, pasta salad, pork and beans, and baked potatoes. We had a feast! Afterward we played a game of football(european style=soccer), and continued to have fun into the night. It was one of the most memorable days here this semester, really alot of fun! As for coming home, I will miss the friends I've made here, but I know I'll keep in contact with most. I've even made plans to visit a few of them. Joe goes to Texas Tech, so which ever city Kansas State plays Texas Tech in this year in football, the other is coming to watch the home game. I've already begun to pack, starting with all the valuables and gifts and keepsakes. I haven't packed any clothes yet, probably won't until Saturday. This week its raining 24/7, and I can't do much outside. My metro pass expired today, so it's riding my bike only from now on. Unfortunetly it is raining, so I won't even be riding my bike. I hope to write one last entry before I leave! Until then, I hope you enjoyed my time in Denmark as much as I did! Bye for now...
