Its really true. If my love were plotted on a graph, it would resemble the graph of exponential population growth in the human species! Only my love shall NEVER reach carrying capacity. hehe. I love nerdy science analogies...
Anyhow, adjustment continues and all is perfect. Last night, thanks to many lucky coincidences, Molly and I went to a local UNDERGROUND DANISH HIP HOP SHOW! And we even knew one of the freestylers...who is Danish! We only understood about five words, but it was an experience of a lifetime. I refreshed my rusty hip hop dancing skills and danced to ancient American hip hop with some really funny danish people. They called me crazy legs, which clearly illustrates that hey need to come to America because in reality...I can't dance! I hope to go back to this tiny little venue sometime. It more less epitomized what I imagine to be the infamous Danish "hygge", or coziness. Good friends, good music, good times.
Academics are also turning out better than I ever could have imagined. Danish class is so much fun. We go on field studies on Wednesday that force us to break out of our tiny American shells and experience Danish culture from the front lines. This Wednesday we were given a list of about 40 things scattered all throughout the city that we had to find. Walking around you cannot help but be overwhelmed by the beauty and history of this place. I hope I never become immune to it. My medical class is also more fun than I was counting on. While it is a lot of very technical reading, it is well balanced with hands on learning. This week we learned how to do chest examinations, listen to the heart, take blood pressures, history's, and what questions to ask to illicit useful information from our patients. Next week we have to give each other injections. I'm strangely excited...
My HIV/AIDS in Africa course is really interesting as well. The professor is actually an ambassador of sorts to Africa so she has boundless knowledge on the topic. Since I have always desired to do the kind of work she does, I find her truly inspiring. The class was designed as a Master's class, so I just hope I can handle the amount of work required. Then lastly but not least, there is biomedical ethics. Honestly, I was kind of dreading this class in the beginning. The first few readings were dry and I lethargically forced myself to read them. However, the class discussions absolutely captivate me. For example, I am not a good notetaker. Usually I sit in a lecture and perhaps write the key points of what the professor is saying, but mostly I doodle....elaborately. If I ever were to become an artist, my academic years would provide enough doodle-ridden notebooks to fill several thousand museums. However, the only doodle you will find in my bioethics notebook is a single peace sign that I drew merely because there was blank space at the top of my paper that just screamed to be anointed with peace. I feel that I can never articulate myself as well as I would like. I think this class will spur me into formulating my decisions and, equally as important, be able to explain and defend them.
That is about all I have for today. I added pictures to my post from a while ago, but it was about as quick as waiting for molasses to drip in a blizzard (thats an original simile right there). So, I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. I will investigate a good picture hosting site so that you may see what I see. Until then...Hej Hej!
