Thurs. April 12 I went for a run around in Norrebro. I went into practicum. Sara, my practicum supervisor is no longer there-she found a new job. It was Rune's (a pedagogue) last group with the group of oldest children. Now he is going to be working with the really little ones at the school and then move up with them through the years. They sang goodbye songs to Rune and had a little party. It was gorgeous out so we spent most of the time outside and ate lunch outside. I went from my practicum into DIS for Choir practice. We had fun. One of the girls brought Turkish Delight back from her trip. It was really good! Rachel (the leader) was telling us to keep the sound moving forward as if there was a stream of cars on the highway coming out of your mouth and then on the girls wanted to commit vehicular homicide to another of the girls cars. It was funnier if you were there I guess.
On Friday I went for a run around the lakes again. In 20th century history we were learning about the Cold War and conditions right after WWII. In Danish we learned the FCK (football/soccer team) song. We also did more with past tense. After classes I went into the airport to get Laura Bram. We went back to my host families house, had Thai food from a take out place for dinner, hung out and watched The Holiday. Cute movie. None of my host family was around that night. They were all with friends.
On Sat. we went to the National Museum and looked at the Danish history exhibit. We then saw Christiansborg Castle, walked down Stoget to Nyhavn. We had lunch along the harbor at Nyhavn. There were so many people there! Then we walked over the Rosenborg gardens and caslte and ended up at Tivoli. TIvoli was fine very quaint and cute and not as commericalized as lots of the amusement parks in the US. We saw quite a lot of senior citizens there and barely any school age children. Copenhagen is a such a nice clean beautiful colorful city! We went back to my house had Thai food leftovers and watched the Midsomer murders on TV.
