Friends & Virtual Reality


DAY 88, MONDAY, APRIL 8TH

Today was a major recovery day and laundry day. My first class was canceled so I only had my afternoon class which is my core course, cyberpsychology. That class ends after Thursday which is sad since I’ve made some good friends in that class and it is a really interesting class. After classes, I came home for dinner and did some more homework.

DAY 89, TUESDAY, APRIL 9TH


Went in for my lovely, very early classes today. After my classes I tried to get work done but instead I booked my last trip of study abroad for easter break! Here I come Finland and Sweden! In the evening, I met up at a friends apartment at 6:30 to cook dinner and hang out together which was fun!


DAY 90, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10TH


Another Wednesday- the best days!! Today I had a field study with my cyberpsychology class!! We met at 1 in the city at a place to do Virtual Reality. I’ve never done it before before so I didn’t know what to expect but it was really fun. They had smaller games we could do with the VR headset and headphones that were fun- like using hand-held remotes like light sabers to slice blocks coming at you. But then we each got a turn at the fully-equipped VR stations. You stood in a sort of harness and were confined within a circle area. You had a Virtual Reality headset and headphones on to keep you immersed. There were 5 of us going at once so we could communicate and hear each other through the headsets. For the first 5 minutes, to have us adjust to a virtual environment, we were put into an ocean setting with sea life and such- we couldn’t move in the environment but we could look around and could physically turn around and get a full 360 view. After getting used to it we did all did a zombie shooting game. All 5 us were in the same environment so we could see each other’s avatars and such. It was really cool as we could physically learn forward in “walk” (in place) to walk our avatars forward and use the hand-held remotes as well. It was actually more fun than I thought it was going to be! After we all finished up, me and some of my friends from that class went to get some milkshakes- they were delicious! Then I headed home and face timed my friend for a bit before doing some work and going to bed.


DAY 91, THURSDAY, APRIL 11TH


Took the morning slow as always before heading to my afternoon classes. My second class of the day, cyberpsychology, had its very last class today! Since we travel and spend so much time with that class we end earlier than the rest of my classes. After classes I headed home for dinner. We had a somewhat traditional Danish dish called Boller I Karry which is kind of like a curry with meatballs and apples in it- it was interesting but a good interesting.

Spend the rest of the night studying for my Danish final tomorrow!


DAY 92, FRIDAY, APRIL 12TH


Today is the day. The day of my Danish final. But actually the final was fine and both of my classes today flew by. Since my Danish class was shorter because of the Exam, I had extra free time before my second class and just wandered the city a little bit which was nice. It was early and snowing so the streets were relatively empty & really pretty.

After classes and lunch I headed home to relax for a bit before heading back into the city for dinner. I met two friends from my homestay network (friends I made at the very beginning - one of them I traveled with but the other I haven’t seen in a while) for sushi for dinner! Sushi was delicious and we ate way too much! After dinner we went to get a drink and just hung out together and caught up! It was a really fun night!
