Being a student again has brought me back years! It also reminds me how much effort it takes to study. Hanne our teacher refuses to speak English. Simply because... well, she doesn't want to. She says that we are here to speak Danish and must get used to only hearing, thinking, dreaming Danish. It's hard work paying attention to all the lessons, honestly, I catch myself tuning in and out of focus all the time. Gotta start brining sugar snacks to stay alert!!!! We've had 2-3 hours homework a day and I know it's only going to get tougher.
Last weekend Chris and I went to Malmö, Sweden. It was such beautiful day that we were able to spend the entire day outside. We spent several hours people watching in a cafe and window shopping for designer furniture. (Notice the word in bold!) The swedish furniture is to die for... and I don't mean Ikea - I mean the hand made variety - the type where the designer made only one. That kind.
I told myself I would not write about food anymore but let me just say one of the highlights from Sweden was that they sell nachos at the bars! It was certainly a little sense of home. Even if the cheese tasted like cheese whiz and even if they serve them with aioli.
It must be hard to be learning a new language but hang in there! It'll only get easier with time I'm sure. And perhaps the nachos weren't the most authentic i.e. cheese whiz, but I do see some nice looking pints next to those nachos :)
