Traveling ended up going smoothly, even if I am completely exhausted. My Chicago to Copenhagen flight ended up being an almost even mix of DIS students and Danes. On the train to the international terminal I was approached by a girl my age who saw my DIS luggage tag. By the time I reached the terminal there were three of us and soon more students congregated around us. I felt like a college freshman all over ago- there was a lot of "name?, where are you from?, what school do you go to?," But it was fun to meet new people and I liked already having friends before even getting to Denmark.
Scandanavian airlines was very nice and the service was excellent. The flight left Chicago at 10:05 pm and arrived in Copenhagen at 1:20-ish (Danish time). So to my body I was traveling from 8 pm to 4 am and I unfortunately didn't manage to get more than an hours worth of sleep on the plane. I'm looking forward to a shower and my bed!
The Copenhagen airport was amazing and our luggage was already circulating by the time we arrived at the luggage check. Efficiency! I was prepared for a long line in customs and instead, all we had to do was walk through a door that said "I don't have anything to declare". So customs took about 3 minutes, the time it took to walk through the door.
Right now I am waiting at the University of Copenhagen for my host family to come pick me up. I'm a little bit nervous, even though I know I shouldn't be.
