My Semester in Copenhagen: Getting into the swing of things.

So I'm starting to feel really settled here. I know how the transportation works and I'm confident that I can find my way home from pretty much anywhere. I've had all my classes twice now so we're actually learning things and getting into some really interesting material.

This weekend I went to Sweden with my family to go skiing/snowboarding. It was like an hour and a half away and we spent the day there. It was really fun! Sweden reminds me very much of rural Minnesota-- well at least the part of Sweden we were in. We grilled sausages for lunch and made sure to make it back in time for the Vikings game. We stayed up until 4:30 in the morning watching the Vikings lose... Luckily I didn't have to leave for class until 11 that morning!

Today, in my Human Health and Disease we toured the Radiology wing and learned all about X-Rays, CT scans, MRIs and ultra-sounds. They showed us how to do an ultra sound examination and I volunteered to have them take a look inside me. So I got to see one of my kidneys, my liver, spleen, bladder, stomach and abdominal muscles up close and personal. So cool! We also learned how to read an x-ray, an MRI and a CT scan, so it was a super interesting class! Tonight I have a dinner with my Danish class so we can practice ordering things which I am very much looking forward to.

Here's some more pictures from my ski trip:

This is the bridge over to Sweden. We left around 7AM so we got to see the sunrise-- gorgeous!
