On top of making it through the exams I feel really good about how I did on all of them, even FINANCE! Double Hooray!
On Friday after returning my 50 pounds of classroom books and binders I joined my fellow DISers for our commencement ceremony. It was a nice way to close out the semester with speeches from the DIS director, fellow students and faculty. Jokes were made about how great our Danish must be by now (ha!) and how much we will miss the Danish winters (double ha!) ...
Then ... the prizes for the blog contest were announced and ... drumroll please ... I WON!
Wowww! I'd like to thank my adoring fans (Mom, Grandma, Kam, Adam, even Ross ... : ) ) and all of you out there for whom I've been writing these past semesters.
My friend Sara even captured the moment for strategic blogging purposes, it was really a group effort all along : )
Thanks again for all the visits! I'm already trying to come up with another reason to blog ... anyone need updates on how I'm doing on finding furniture? Or maybe ... how many books can a person read commuting to Baltimore from Washington ... I'm open to suggestions!

hahah Congratulations! yay! Finding furniture might be blog worthy, you never know! I made quite a list.
Wow! I feel so proud that
(1) You won for best blog and
(2) You mentioned me in your post!!
Wow!!! You definitely deserve the win... I mean, this blog is incredibly informative, comprehensive, sensitive, well written, memorable, and by golly it spans 3+ continents!!
I am glad that you have wrapped up your Danish semester with flying colors. And that your Danish language is sparkling these days.
I'm facing the same dilemma with da blog. I did manage to write one message post-Chile, and theoretically I could write more about the Chilean experience. But I'm hesitant to write on stuff that's just my everyday stuff. That's kind of what turned me off about a blog in the first place... coming off as self-centered, making unimportant things immortal.
But I also discovered through writing my Chilean blog that, hey, I really like creative writing! And I don't get so many opportunities/excuses to do it, especially outside of academics. It was a lot of fun to write it. I even heard myself referring friends to my blog ("Oh did you read my post about getting confused as a Chilean? No? Well, I could summarize the events for you right here in person but... why don't you just read my blog in your spare time")... which is a little weird, but... hey, it works!
If you kept a non-travel blog, I'd read it!
:-)
Plus, you and I and our cronies will have plenty of interesting stuff to write in the next year... and after!

congratz on winning the blog competition :) All that excitement seems to be making you even whiter than usual though (it couldn't possibly be the flash) ;)
Im looking forward to seeing pictures of our place pile up with furniture and other stuff, and you can talk about all the books you read while commuting
How are things going? I am back in Beijing now, and miss the days with you guys. Today is May5 according to lunar calendar. Happy Dragon Festival to Irene.:)
Please send my best regards to your parents.
All best!

Hi congratulations!

By far the most enjoyable and informative blog I've ever come across. And certainly the only blog I've followed on a consistent basis! A real treat to read.
Looking forward to hearing about many more adventures in your future. Who knows--maybe I'll get to be a part of some??
Bravo! Gennemstegt!
