It's hard to imagine that in less than 24 hours, I will be leaving home to go to Newark Liberty, where I will fly to Copenhagen! Yes, I have started packing; in fact, I have pretty much filled both my checked suitcase and my carry-on suitcase to their capacity, so I don't have much more to do. I made sure to pack for 2 weeks so that I wouldn't have to worry about laundry too much. I also made sure to pack a lot of warm clothes, since Denmark is likely to be cold for at least most of when I'm there. I even managed to pack my bike helmet since I hope to do a lot of biking in Copenhagen, particularly to and from work. I might need to buy more stuff once I arrive, but that shouldn't be too much of a hassle since there is time during orientation to get that taken care of. Yes, during the first week of my stay, there will be orientation which will consist of Danish language classes in the morning and some sort of tour in the afternoon. More details about the orientation will follow shortly, but I am particularly excited for Wednesday because I will get to see a ballet. Ballets are amazingly awesome, but I was in middle school the last time I saw one, so I'm really excited to see another one after all these years. In addition, it will be the first Danish ballet that I've seen, so things will definitely get interesting.
Anyways, tomorrow, I will be leaving Newark at 5:30 pm and arriving in Copenhagen at 7:10 am (yes, it's a direct overnight flight). I will be the first of my group to arrive that day, so that means I will need to find my own way to where I will be staying. I also think I'll need a lot of coffee in order to stay awake so that I can get used to the six-hour time difference. Hopefully, I'll adjust in no time. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to an awesome experience, and please look forward to more posts as well as pictures! :)
