Time goes fast when you're an Erasmus student!







Hello everyone!


It seems to me that winter has come, so my stay in Denmark is going to end very soon :(. Well, I am getting a little bit sad because I have to leave. Now when things are going better and better, when I've got used with people and people've got used with me, in one word when I started to fit into the system I have to leave. It is a kind of pity but this is life...at one point everything ends. The fact that things end at one point is something absolutely normal, but the good part here is the following: each new experience brings into your life many changes both personal and professional level. Having this opportunity of living for 3 months abroad, in a new country, a new culture, my perspective of life has changed. I've gained many knowledge. Some of them are:


- an improvement of English language (it has been a challenge for me to speak only in English and I have to confess that sometimes it was hard and it made me tired but now I am very happy because I can see that mz English has been improved).


- knowledge and methodes of work concerning my study area


- general knowledge about other countries ( Denmark, Hungary, Germany)

But I think that the most important achivements are those in my personal life. I discovered my person more and more, and also my abilities of getting easily adapt to another culture. I didn`t have enough confidence before to think that I am able to go by my own to another country and live there for a long time. But now after 3 months of living in Denmark and trying to assimilate with the culture and also trying to get in touch with Danish people I can say that maybe I become more open to diversity.

My thought that come into my mind now is that it was worth being an Erasmus student in Denmark and I am sure I will never forget this experience. And I am pretty positive that I can built another good experiences from it.



Tak for everything Denmark! :)

St. Severin Skole!!!



Wednesday, 19.11.2008




Hi everybody!



It seems that this period of time is very crowded with activities. Many things are happening for me in this time: visits to danish friends in my spare time, projects for school, etc. This week I have been enjoing my time at school very much. First of all because this week I had a meeting with Bjane, my psychologist teacher. This meeting was very challenging for me because I learnt some methods and tehnics used in cognitive therapy. Another nice event which happened this week was the visit to the biggest school from Haderselv, St. Severin Skole.



I visited the school in company with Judit. We went together to Severin Skole where we met with Lasse, the teacher who took care of us during our visit. The school is very big, around 800 pupils study there. We attended to the ninth and the forth degree on their English and Music classes. In the begining we started with the ninth degree where we presented our power point presentation about our countries. The pupils were curious about our culture and they asked some questions. Especially the girls they were interested in our language. They wanted to know how sound our language therefore they asked us to talk something in romanian and in hungarian. After we finished with the ninth degree we went to the forth degree where we also talked a little bit about our countires. In that class was a girl which is half romanian and she could recognize the food when I was talking about some romanian food. She also can speak some hungarian and Judit changed some words with her in hungarian. The last class was music with Lasse. It was the nicest class because we song some danish songs and they had the possibility to listen a romanian Christmas song and a hungarian song. The children were so enthusiastic because we were there. Judit recorded them while they were singing, they were really cute and funny:).




We spent a whole day in the school from 9:30 until 14:00, but we couldn't realise how the time just flew because was a nice experience being there.


Cooking!!!





Saturday 15.11.2008,


Hello again!

How are you doing? I hope the grey weather doesn't get you sad. On this cold weather is nice to stay home and to have a hygge time, isn't it? Actually, me and Judit have been doing this for a week. In the last week we took part at many hygge breakfasts and dinners. Last Thursday we had a german breakfast cooked by our friend Sarah. To be onest was a really big breakfast with salmon fish, omelette, jam and bread, and we didn't need to have lunch, we were enough filled up. We spent a nice time eating and having a girls disscution:). And I was quite curious to taste a german breakfast.

This time we were served by Sarah, she cooked for us, but on Saturday we cooked for Carsten's uncles some traditional food. They invited us to their house and they've got all the ingredients we needed for our meals.


So we went in Aabenraa on Saturday evening and we had a big romanian-hungarian dinner with Carsten, his parents and his uncles. I cooked cauliflower with mayonnise (made by hand) and garlic as an appetizer and romanian doughnuts as a dessert. I could have the opportunity to taste a delicious hungarian meal prepared by Judit: chicken (prepared in oven with nutmeg) with mashed potatoes and pickled cucumbers. It was a great meal and a great evening. Carsten's family enjoyed our food they really liked it. We ate quite much that evening but we also had timeto talk a little bit about the culture of our counties. And of course we are verry happy that we could show them a part of our cuisine.
