Farvel Copenhagen!

Days 44-59 Kobenhaven, Danmark

So our last 2 weeks here have gone by slowly and very fast. We spent everyday in the studios doing work for our last project. I even had to pull 2 all nighters and spent 3 days straight in the studio without leaving. There were even girls who slept, showered and basically lived there all week. Who knew I would be spending nights in the studio in the summer...in Europe! But it was worth it despite some set backs and design issues. What is a project without some sort of stress?

Touristy things we did:
-Ate at St. Petersburg Cafe
Delicious Danish meal of Biksemad!

-Orestad and it's crazy architecture

-Little Mermaid
Smaller than I thought
-Harbor Baths
-Christiania
Interesting culture
-Round Tower
Scary to climb but worth the view you get of Cph


-New Harbor
Pretty color buildings that you see when you google Copenhagen.
-Playhouse


-Opera house
-Many many things on our last walks out

Final Presentation and Project:
My presentation went better than I had expected. They liked my concept and I managed not to word vomit too much. :) I guess those days and nights in the studio were worth it.

Wrap up on Copenhagen. I'm going to miss all the new people I've met here. Although I am homesick and I'm going to miss living in a different country and being with these new people who have become my little family here. I feel like I've known some of them for my whole life. I am so thankful to have been studying here with these people and going on this long trip with Brenna! I am also so thankful for my parents letting me travel and experience this new culture! I have learned and seen so much, I hope I will be able to make a difference in my projects as many of the architects and designers have here.

Shout-Outs: Rachel! Me and Brenna are going to miss you so much. I'm so happy we were assigned in project one together! Everybody who we met in Copenhagen, I hope we all keep in touch and maybe meet up one day. To Brigette and Hienrich who made our trips and time here so great. I'm going to miss everyone :(

End of the Day thought: Farvel Denmark, Here we come Ireland!
