Long time No talk!

Hellooooo All-

   

You should all be happy to know that I have survived my three-week long travel break!!! Unfortunately I am currently sick- which could be due to the exhaustion from the busyness of my travel break combined with getting back into the school schedule. I have been back to school for one full week now- which means I only have 4 weeks of class left, then finals, then its all over!

To view all pictures from my three week travel break- please visit me website!

I have so much to tell you all and I don't know where to begin...so, I think i will give you a brief summary:

My travel break started with a week long study tour through my PCD program to The Netherlands- The Land of Tulips...Here we visited a few awesome schools, including an International School which I now want to work at. We also were lucky enough- thanks to how amazing DIS is-to see a Cirque Du Soleil show, which was FanFreakinTastic!

~Ta Da! Amsterdam and one of its MANY Canals.~

From The Netherlands, I took a bus home-unpacked and repacked and left the following day for Turkey. I went to Turkey also through a DIS sponsored trip that corresponds to a course I am taking. I have to make a blog as an assignment for my class on Turkey- so, to read about it please visit my webiste (web.mac.com/victoriaej).

 After Turkey, I flew home- unpacked and repacked- to leave the following day for Paris. Paris is where it all got a little confusing. While in Paris I was staying with one of my form housemates/one of my bestest friends/one of the greatest people i know= Miss Katherine Vollono. Here I also met up with my friend Kevin from DIS. Kevin and I were supposed to leave Paris together, via EURail train on Tuesday morning, having arrived in Paris on Sunday. Unfortunately, there were no trains out of Paris to our hopefuly destinations: Florence and Rome. We had booked a flight from Rome back to Copenhagen on Friday, but it looked like we were no longer going to make it. After spending 180Euro on a EURail pass that I NEVER got to use, I had to spend another 80Euro on a train ticket to Milan...Yes, you heard me- Milan...not one of our original destinations...but it was the only place we could get...and lucky enough...our flight had a layover in Milan. We were finally able to leave Paris on thursday, spend a good 24 hours in Milan and catch the second half of our flight home to Copenhagen.

Oh- EURAIL is SHIT....never buy one! ( excuse my language daddiooo)

MY GOODNESS AM I GLAD TO BE HOME IN COPENHAGEN!!!

Well, my apologies for the lack of details about the past month, but I'm tired and there's just not enough time for me to fill you in. If you happen to see me in The States when I return, bring me a beer, sit me down in the sun and maybe I'll tell you about it then. :-)

Upcoming news:

I get my hair cut at my Host-Dad's salon this Tuesday...short and dark is the plan. I will post a picture of my new danish look as soon as I can.

My host-family has given me several dates of "Danish Family Trip Days", which I am super excited for. They are planning on taking me to the beach, to Kronborg Castle, to the Lousiana Museum, To the Experimentarium and much more!!- and you will all be filled in when such event occur.

My REAL family=My two Amazing parents have booked their flight to visit me. May 15th is their arrival date....I'm busy counting down the days!!! See you soon!! and for that matter....see you all soon!! May 23rd is my official arrival date back to good old America. As much as I don't want to leave Denmark, I am super excited to get back home and see all of your lovely faces.

Busy recovering from sicknesses and exhaustion,
