It is now Wednesday, this morning we had our third class of the trip. As we did yesterday, each of us acted as a country and spoke upon their behalf when it comes to drugs/drug trafficking and how that affects international relations. Also, we discussed how certain drug trafficking affects foreign policy. In addition, we … Continue reading Even Diplomats Love Gelato! by Cheyenne Lake
We have moved onto the city of Odense which is actually pronounced OOdlesen for some reason. We are having some trouble understanding the Danish terms. Casey is doing quite well with those but the rest of us certainly could use some work. We spent today and the next two days working in a very large, … Continue reading Odense Dyrehospital by Tricia Gorham
While my other two fellow Veterinary Tech students moved on to another part of Denmark, I flew to Norway to see what the Veterinary world is like up here. The view from the plane was beautiful mountain and ocean scenery. I landed in a small town named Haugesund yesterday, as well as, this morning and … Continue reading Norway!! by Desiree Grych
During the International Relations class, we discussed about power and dominance internationally between countries, as well as made an extremely miniature mock UN and debated each of our country’s stances on global warming, which was quite interesting. Going back to power, one of the things we noted is that power changes between different peoples eventually, … Continue reading 551 Steps to Heaven on Earth! by Cheyenne Lake
Today was, yet again, an amazing day!!! In class we had our first model UN about the subject of global warming at my insistence. As a future environmental engineer, this is one of my favorite subjects. I would be representing Japan, who believes environmental concerns need to be addressed, but has put many other issues … Continue reading Rome just keeps getting better! by Mikayla Bridges
So today was the third day of being in Rome and what are we doing today, climbing the Saint Peters dome. Well I’m both terrified and exited at the same time. This activity mixed 3 of my least favorite things in this world: small spaces, heights, and exercise. Like I stated in a previous post … Continue reading Day Three: Don't look down!! by Christian Bean
DAY 3 On Tuesday morning we walked to the university again. The walk seemed shorter knowing how far the destination was. We spent the class discussing global warming, and about how different countries have different beliefs and solutions to the problem. We tried to reach a compromise between the countries as to what a solution … Continue reading Days 3 and 4: Gelati and the Holy See by Lily Gayton
Today we went to climb the St Peters Basilica. It was 551 steps up and then another 551 down. The view is just completely indescribable. I’m sorry, but really there are no words. You can see a full view of the city from 360 degrees and its breath taking. Everything is there, and I mean … Continue reading On the third day of Italy~ by Benjamin Cheaney
After a night of much needed rest, we woke up and headed over to the university. I’m not a usual morning person, seen when someone asked if I wanted coffee, tea, or espresso and my answer was simply yes, but I was really looking forward to the first day of class. We went over the … Continue reading Day Two and Still Amazing! by Mikayla Bridges
Hello, America!!! Greetings from Denmark. We are having an awesome time here learning and seeing new things. Yesterday, we worked with Sabrina at her Animal clinic. Her hospital is huge and they are starting to rebuild. The clinic calls their Veterinary Technicians, Animal Nurses, which I think is more appropriate and recognizable of our profession. … Continue reading Another awesome day in Denmark! by Desiree Grych
