End of term
It is the end of term. The very, very end! Four months have passed and I have learned a thing or two about myself, Denmark, and Communications. Here they are in no particular order:
1. Danes are probably the best non-English speaking English speakers I have ever met.
2. To all prospective DIS students out there: do host family. 100% worth it. They will be the thing I miss most about this place...

As an English major, someone who is strongly involved in music at Carleton, and someone who also has a strong interest in new media as a career (well hello semester studying media in Copenhagen!) this will complement my education so nicely! Between this and the new...
Obama Urges China to Check North Koreans →
Tensions are mounting in Eastern Asia with North Korea showing more aggression than usual in the past decade. I think this is a really important issue for everyone to read up on because 1. east asia is interesting, in general and 2. I forsee this possibly becoming a greater deal within the next year especially with the possibility of Kim Jung Il’s son coming to power and US/China relations...
