Week 1 (Haderslev) Monday 29th Jan- Friday 2nd Feb



After staying in Højskolen Østersøen for the first month of my stay in Denmark, I felt it quite daunting to move to Haderslev. I had gotten used to getting up at the same time every morning, having all my meals made for me, having no kitchen work to do (I know what you're thinking!), not to mention the fact that I had settled well and made good friends with the other students there. Tearfully I left Åbenrå on Wednesday afternoon and made my way slightly more North of Denmark to the town where i would spend the rest of my erasmus stay, Haderslev. I received the key for my new house which is only a few minutes walk from the college and introduced myself to my new housemates. Two of the girls I am living with I already knew from Åbenrå (Kerri-Ann from Armagh and Issabelle from Belgium), but there was also two new girls for me to meet (Melanie from the French speaking part of Belgium and Sarah from the German speaking part of Belgium). Bot girls seemed very nice and I knew immediately that living with them would be no bother, but indeed a pleasure.
The following morning we went to the University (CVU Sønderjylland), where we had breakfast with our Erasmus leaders, (Jette Laursen, Birgit Schulz and Connie Mikkelsen) and the rest of the girls who i would be joining for the Living and Learning Together Programme. They are Judith and Petra from Austria; Sofie, Myrium and Sandra from Belgium and Martina and Helena from Czech Republic. So far Haderslev seems nice and the rest of the girls are great. So far so good!
