I'm leaving in 10 DAYS. And my usually smug and self-assured self is in panic mode.
I finally received my housing assignment today...my Danish roommate wrote me an email! Her name is Cecilie and she is a 24 year-old economics student at the University of Copenhagen. Her apartment is about 5 km (2 miles) outside of the city-center where the DIS buildings are located. She sounds like a very driven, intelligent girl, and I absolutely can't wait to meet her. My kinda lady. She even volunteered to pick me up from the airport and let me move in a day early. How nice not to have to spend my first night in a hotel room. My bedroom overlooks a little park. It's such a very romantic notion, my heart can barely take it!
For months, my mom has been telling me that she'll help me get organized, get ready, and pack it up. But I'm beginning to think she's avoiding it altogether in an attempt to block from her mind the fact that I'm leaving the country for 5 months. And I'm beginning to think that I'm exhibiting a little avoiding behavior myself. I've been considering this program for years, but it hit me today that its happening. And its sneaking up on me a little sooner than I had expected. Mom and Chels are considering meeting me in Paris for spring break! That would make it just a little over two months, mom. I'm gonna miss you and your knee-slappers!:)
The next time I update, I'll be in my little Danish apartment overlooking the park. Someone pinch me, please.
Also, this is funny, honey: Ethniklashistan

I am so excited about your room mate situation! That sounds like the makings of a perfectly spectacular situation.
And, as for the packing situation, I have a feeling it's gonna be hard for both of you, but you'll get through it sure enough. The spring break vacation definitely lightens the blow!
