“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end”


The end of my third year at university was marked by beautiful and interesting things that I will remember for a long time! While having a sweet taste from them, I was waiting, with great anxiety, my new oncoming “Danish experience”… All my friends and family called me Dane!!! The people I spoke with about Erasmus program were describing it with the best words!!!

My first day at school had mixed feelings…I was extremely hyper tensed, stressed and excited when I entered the room but after speaking to some students I relaxed thinking that this was also new for almost everyone in the class as well. After a tasteful breakfast (first time eating spandauer!!!!!!), the teachers welcomed us very warmly!

After that we got split in three groups and I was alone, without other Greeks in my team. That stressed me a lot because Danes and Spanish had other people as “support” and I felt all alone. We got a tour around the building watching great and cozy facilities (couches all over!!!??? and elevator). I also liked the library which looks so… small but full!

We had a short break that we used so we could get to know each other a little bit better. After discussing some general things about our studies, we returned to our class and had a very prototypal and smart “activity” (if I can call it that way) with our tutor Karen so we could speak about ourselves shortly. We had a great variety of post cards and we had to pick one we liked and speak about that (why we chose it, what’s the meaning for us etc) and say some general things. I thought it was very clever because holding a card I liked, gave me a step to find something to say.

My new experience has started!!!
