I think there are two constants here in Copenhagen, which will hopefully give me something to hang on to in the chaos that is a semester at DIS. Between study trips, field studies, adventure trips, day trips, short study tours, long study tours, my own free travels, cooking classes, wandering the city, readings, tests, essays, attempting to cook meals and sleep and run, my ical is an insane mess and one can only hold on and hope nothing is missed.
So I shall remain quasi grounded by these two things: It rains basically everyday. Even if it’s sunny when you wake up, even if there is a 0% chance of rain – you better bring your umbrella. Clouds roll in and out so fast it’s insane! One moment the heavens open up and it’s the next flood-ocolypse, and 10 minutes later there’s the sun. And then in about 30 seconds here comes the rain again. You can just never predict. Somehow that is a constant.
And secondly, there will always be pastries. Warm, golden, flaky pastries that always seem to be fresh from the oven. No matter which street you find yourself on there is guaranteed to be a bakery or a 7-11 (more on these insanely fancified, estranged cousin's of the American version later - no slurpies here). The best one is Lagkagehuset, with baked goods lined up in the windows that you cannot help but stop and drool over every time you pass. And of course they have the most outrageously delicious chocolate cinnamon buns, chocolate croissants, fresh breads, traditional pastries (the kind we call Danishes), and then a whole bunch of stuff that I don’t even know what it is but its delicious confectionery goodness that melts in your mouth and makes you forget about the shit weather and the fact that you are so busy you haven't actually slept in forever :)
