Week 13 (16/04/2012- 23/04/2012)



 Personal Blog


Having spent a week at home for Easter, during week 12,  I wasn’t sure how I was going to react when it was time for me to return to Denmark again. However, although I was sad to leave my friends and family again, I knew that I would see them again in 6 weeks time. At Dublin airport I was surprisingly okay saying goodbye, which shocked me. This showed me how much I have come on since leaving for the first time in January. 

I was excited to get on the plane and see all my Erasmus friends again. I missed them when I was at home and this shows me what it will be like when I leave Vordingborg and my Erasmus experience is over. I will really miss all the friends I have made here as we have all become so close during our time here. I have really enjoyed getting to know and spending time with a group of people from different countries. We have discussed how crazy it is to think that the whole group of us, who are so close right now, may never all be together in the same room again after our Erasmus time is over! We have all planned to meet up in different people’s home countries already and I really hope we do stick to our word.  I really feel I have made friends for life.

Although leaving Dublin airport I was fine, when I arrived in Copenhagen train station to the buzz and crowds, I had a sudden realisation that I wasn’t at home anymore and so I felt a bit homesick. However, when I finally arrived back in Vordingborg and saw all the familiar faces of the people there and my room with all my things I felt at home again. Within an hour of unpacking and settling back in, it felt as though I had never been away! I had settled straight back into life here in Denmark. This has shown me that although I may not realise it now, I will miss aspects of my life here when I return home, particularly the relaxed, laid back lifestyle and also that as a person, I have become a lot more adaptable to change and spontaneity, since coming to Denmark.

Although I look forward to 6 weeks time when I return home and see my family and friends who I miss, I am keen to spend my time left here wisely. The scary thought is that I have only 6 weeks here to spend with my friends and also to do and see all the things that we have wanted to and planned to see before we all go home. I know that time is going to fly between sightseeing and completing our paper, so these few weeks may be the busiest of my time here in Denmark!
