The two weeks in between London and Barcelona have been decidedly down to business. For starters, given that there are only two classroom weeks in March, this means that I have a test in every class. In the case of my medical biotechnology class, I have a test accompanied by two papers, a reflection, a presentation, and an interview with…

A Very Nerdy Holiday
I got back to Copenhagen late Friday night. Right before we left London, our entire class sat down to high tea. I had never been to high tea before, and I was more than a little confused about what exactly it entailed. My American ways consider it a deluxe tea experience if I heat the water in a kettle rather…
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…
Snow Day!!
Last week I had my first snow day in college. Wellesley rarely has snow days so this one was special. People were dancing and singing in the hallways on the day of the announcement. (I was too.) Wellesley looks like a Winter Wonderland right now. The trees are being weighed down with snow so they look like canopies in the…
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…
Monday, Through Music
I woke up this morning to a Wellesley wonderland- snow! Somehow, it’s already December, and winter has decided to make its official entrance. You would think, as somebody who’s lived on the East Coast my whole life, I would be prepared for the winter onslaught each year…but somehow I feel caught off guard each year by the first snowfall. Still,…
