This blog is coming to you from a London hotel room, where I lie on my bed in a semi-ridiculous state of soreness after my first bike ride in five years. It happened to be a three hour bike tour around the entirety of London- quite the introduction back! It was full of ups and downs. Metaphorically speaking, I didn’t…

Fun times
Some cool events happened since the last time I wrote. First, we had an awesome comedian come to Wellesley. Sasheer Zamata! She came as part of Black History Month. I had a bit of a hand in her coming. As Ethos, comedy appreciation chair, it is my job to make Ethos members laugh. One of my missions, once I got…
Copenhagen Celebrations
It has been a week of celebrations. For starters, I’m officially 21 years old as of last Wednesday. I planned myself a beautiful birthday, if I do say so myself. Since I take half my classes at the Royal Academy of Music, I have fewer Wednesday field studies than most of my friends here…which meant that I had my birthday…
A (Pharmaceutical) Tour of Denmark
Well, I didn’t update you all last week, but in my defense I was in Western Denmark. This is a clever term for Americans who know nothing of Denmark’s geography; the Danes would never call it “Western Denmark”. No, I visited Aarhus and Odense, Denmark’s second and third biggest cities respectively. Essentially, we were on a weeklong field trip, “we”…
A “Very Danish” Week
Five things I did this week, here in Denmark: I didn’t have class last Wednesday, of all things, so I tried to go to an art museum that didn’t exist. Well, it did exist but not at the place where CityMapper, my trusty navigation app promised. I tried to walk there on a dodgy ankle but ended up in front…
Live from the Royal Danish Academy of Music!
There’s a Mozart concerto is floating above my head. Quite literally, I’m sitting in the library of the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where I’m taking two classes this semester. Some violinist is playing Mozart 5 and it’s sparkling and everything, weaving its ways through the walls above. The librarian is speaking in rapid Danish. I cannot make out a…
Hej! Greetings from Denmark
Greetings from Copenhagen! Wow, I can’t believe I’m already here…across the Atlantic Ocean from family and friends but in a beautiful new place. This isn’t going to be a long post, mostly because I’m still getting my bearings here and fighting off jet lag. My body is telling me to nap right now, but my mind is telling me no…you’d…
Adulting Adventures
It’s the day after Christmas, and I just got back from the dentist. My life since returning home from Wellesley seems to be full of an awful lot of “adult” moments these days. I’ve only been home four days, but I’ve already been to the doctor, dentist, gotten my cracked phone fixed, learned first hand about credit history, and gotten…
