Afternoon alone

Today I went into Roskilde completely alone and it felt great! I went into all the shops that I never seem to have time for. I took time for myself and realized that I need to do that more often. I bought some really cute clothes and some boots that I am in love with. I discovered a store that is like Payless shoes only better. Obviously they were more expensive than the states but everything is.

After I went to Roskilde, I came back home and went grocery shopping. It was nice. My bags were a little heavy so I stopped in the grass and layed there listening to my IPOD. I ended up laying in the sun for an hour. It felt so good just to have some time to myself to think. I need to do that more often for myself.

So I have definitely made the decision to not stay in my Danish classes. I felt such a relief to make that decision. I hated that class and it really stressed me out.

For some reason, I feel like I need days off from school during the week. I never felt that way at the University of Washington but here at RUC I feel so drained. I think its because the classes are boring and I am not engaged in the conversations. Its not that its not interesting (well some of it isn't) its that I have already learned the material. I need some education that will stimulate my brain. I have being doing a lot of research on my own fields of study, which I have found to be helpful but still not as educational as I would expect out of school.

I have come to really appreciate the way that schools are set up in the states. I have come to appreciate many things about the states and I will never take those things for granted again.

MORE TO COME! Stay tuned!
