October 2, 2015 – Goodbye Stockholm, My Love

This is the saddest day. I do not know what to do with myself. I may just have to move to Stockholm. I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE.

But I have to. Gah. The horrors of studying abroad: it sometimes involves actual studying. Even as I write this, I am procrastinating on two separate essays due this week. Go me.

But Stockholm. Gosh. I can’t. I literally can’t even. If I could odd, I would, but I don’t think I can do that either at the moment.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were just as fabulous as the first three days of this trip. We began Wednesday with a visit to the University of Stockholm, where we had a lecture on the CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project. It was interesting, and the presenter was a hilarious and adorable British woman who made the most wonderful facial expressions, but she didn’t have any idea what was on her slides, so that was a bit confusing and involved a lot of silent reading on our part.

The campus was beautiful, and I got some free Ramen from some people handing out flyers. Yessss.

Hmph. My connection is being funky and won’t allow my pictures to upload from my phone. Hang on a second… Okay, got it!

After the University, Maia, Eva, and I went to Arkitekturmuseet, or the Architecture Museum. It was mostly a room full of super detailed models and histories of famous buildings. Pretty cool, but a really intense color exhibit was being constructed and didn’t open until after we left. Sad day…

Then, the activity I was most looking forward to: climbing the tower of City Hall! Climbing the Round Tower in Copenhagen was such a fantastic experience that I have decided seeing the city from the top of a tower is a must-do everywhere I go. Everything is so huge and beautiful from up there. However, I never got a chance to fulfill this dream in Hamburg, so it was my NUMBER ONE I HAVE TO DO THIS in Copenhagen. The weather was positively gorgeous, too.
