i'm in love with my job. with my new friends. my host family. this amazing city. the "real, adult life." The fact that I wake up every morning feeling so happy I could burst! Maybe the fact that I haven't blogged since I started work is a good indicator of what a great time I am having.
Day two of my job we went to Kullen, Sweden on an "orientation study tour." I knew after about 3 hours that my new coworkers and I were going to get along just great. I remember sitting by the bonfire in a rural area of beautiful Sweden, asking myself, can this really be my job? So what do I actually do, you ask? Well, my proper title is "Housing and Student Affairs Assistant." Essentially, my department deals with pretty much everything that is non-academic related. Some of my responsibilities include: supervising the Student Activities Committee (kind of like a student council), counseling students, taking care of housing issues, helping coordinate Arrival Day, publishing the DIS-wide newsletter and a ton of other little tasks. Honestly, I could not ask for a more perfect position. The days go by so quickly because I'm so busy, but I am also having so much fun doing what I do. Needless to say, my busiest week is upon me....Arrival Day in ONE WEEK!! Pictures below are: Sweden, coworkers, Angie (the other housing intern) and me.
My housing has worked out perfectly. I am thrilled to say the apartment I blogged about earlier is officially mine now! It is perfect. Right on the famous Copenhagen lakes, a really great price, 5 minutes from work, huge!, furnished and with one Danish girl and one American girl (another DIS intern). I couldn't ask for better. I am so, so glad I waited, because it is truly my dream apartment. I will post pictures after I move in and get settled (August 20). My new roomie, Erika, and me!
I apologize for my lack of communication with all of you in the States. The time difference and working hours make it hard to catch some of you, but bare with me and know that I am thinking of you all.
Now I am off to go watch the "Copenhagen Challenge," which is similar to the Ironman. Going to be tired just watching them! Vi ses :)
