For my class I've been having to keep a blog. Everything I post on my class blog I automatically transfer to this one.
I have a crazy week this week. The past two weeks have been so mellow. All my friends in other courses are struggling with sitting through 2 hours of boring lecture class while I've been spending my time in class touring (greater) Copenhagen. I can't complain. The most demanding thing I've had to do is write a 300 word blog post... easy stuff.
I've just written a page for my test which is due tonight at midnight. I have one more test to go and a presentation (all due Friday morning). Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) the prompts are basically the same. So here I am... stuck at the table with writers block (typical Dasha). Sadly, it takes me a pathetic amount of time to get a rough draft that equals about a page. I have never had to analyze nature and it's influence on such an in-depth level before... but I think it's making me realize that people here are doing life right.
The average Dane takes about 14 walks in a national park every year and also spends 1.5 hours in a park every other day. Also, 1/3 of the entire country travels by bike every single day. No wonder the Danes have been ranked the happiest nation in the world for 4 consecutive years (sadly ending their streak this year). My teacher (who isn't even a native Dane) is quite upset that Switzerland has won over this title.
I wonder what would happen if we tried something like this in the US? I'm not entirely sure that this idea would jive with everybody but I think it would make for a much happier and healthy place.
