Package from Home

It's the end of the long weekend and the first Sunday of May. This is significant because the S-Trains are free on the first Sunday of every month. So in light of the good weather, we headed to a beach outside of Copenhagen.

 We all tried to be good students and brought along our textbooks for school. However, the textbooks inevitably became comfortable pillows as we lay down and just enjoyed the sound of the waves and breaks of sunshine between the clouds.

We got home and I was just sitting with my laptop in bed when my room mate handed me a PACKAGE from HOME!! I was so excited because I love getting things in the mail. Check this out:

Sweet words from my sweet housemates... the letters, cards, and notes really made me smile.

Chocolate eggs for a belated Easter! 

 and best of all... TEA from TIMMIES!! I've missed eating at Tim Hortons and my daily double double and toasted multigrain bagel with light cream cheese. It really reminded me of home.

I've officially lived in Copenhagen for 4 months. I'm really loving my time here. However, I know in my mind that all of this is temporary. I've made a whole new life for myself... new lifestyle, address, friends, school, bank account and everything. It's hard knowing that in 2 months or so, I'm going to have to leave this all behind. I'm always torn between Copenhagen and Canada. Copenhagen is so exciting because everything is so new and different and I'm constantly comparing things to Canada. 

I've really missed the people back home and I often wonder if life will be really different when I go home. So, this package from my room mates in Canada really meant a lot to me. It was so thoughtful and made me smile from ear to ear.
