Week 2 - Day 13

Day 13 of our Danish adventure, and....

I'm still stressing out over my results. I heard it could take until Thursday (rather than Monday) before we get them, and even though I know I can't change them, I'm still stressing pretty much all the time. I bet some of the others are sick of hearing about it by now.

Anyway! Denmark! Today we had our first Danish lesson from our other Danish prof, Lone. Luckily, choral repetition is still the flavour of the month, so we won't run out of new material for the DanishBeat project. We learnt how to count up to 100, learnt how to order a taxi, read the clock, etc.

We also had our first Visual Culture lesson today, taught by Sabine. As we expected, this is a very project-oriented class, so that means I'll have stuff to show you soon (hopefully!)



We were put in yet another group for this class, which I actually really like, as it gives us a chance to interact with everyone.

Sabine looks like she's been taking E-learning lessons in Belgium, as our projects involve a wiki and podcasts, haha. It really does make sense to use these though, and I'm really glad to be involved in this kind of hands-on approach. (Not to mention I use this class as an excuse to take pictures of pretty much... Anything!)



Things are definitely starting to click in my head though. I'm finally realising how much we're actually being taught here. Every class (except MAYBE Danish) has a DIRECT link to teaching back home. Be it ideas or just ready-to-use methods. I am VERY impressed.

Since I'm actually keeping up with my homework for once, I can actually relax and sleep in until like 11AM tomorrow. Yeehaw! I might try my hand at "student cooking" (ie. microwave & oven stuff) just because I can... :D
