What a great week! I had three field studies on Wednesday, and all of them were really interesting! For my mythology class, my teacher took us to a really nice museum and showed us sculptures of Nordic gods and goddesses, explaining what each of them meant and how they were related to mythology. It was really interesting, and it was nice to go through the museum with someone so knowledgable. I also went to see an exit program, which is a place where former criminals go for help to get re-acclimated to society. It was interesting to hear about how they help people that may not have anywhere else to go. The last one was a sperm panel, where we heard a few experts discuss sperm donation in Denmark. I found it really interesting to listen to, particularly because there was a large question and answer portion and everyone had really interesting questions. This weekend, two of my friends came to visit me. One lives in Liverpool, and the other in Paris, but neither of them had been to Denmark before! I took them to a castle, Nyhavn, the zoo, The Little Mermaid, and a few other places, we had a great time!
