A note from Sam Farrell
Hi Swimmers!!!
I hope everyone has had a good first semester so far and I wanted to
wish you all good luck at your first meet!
I’ve been having an amazing time in Copenhagen. It’s a very unique
city with a combination of old buildings, modern architecture, and
lots of canals and waterways! All the roads have bike lanes and most
people bike to school and work including me! Also, the Danish pastries
are REALLY GOOD. I may even like them better than cookies…that’s how
good they are.
I’ve had a chance to do some traveling too. A few weeks ago I went to
Stockholm to visit some of my Swedish relatives, this past weekend I
went to Berlin. I’ve been to Norway a few times to Bergen to see the
fjords which were absolutely beautiful, and also took a cruise to the
capital, Oslo.
I’m doing a special academic program in Medical Biotechnology and Drug
Development, and with my class we went to Edinburgh, Scotland for a
week. Although we spent a lot of time at hospitals and pharmaceutical
companies, we still had plenty of time for sightseeing. All the
buildings in this city looked like castles and later in the week we
went hiking in the highlands!
I’ve just finished a rough week with 3 midterms and 2 papers due, but
starting now we have 2 weeks off for fall break. Tonight I'm leaving
for Vienna then later in the week I'm going to Croatia, and Greenland!
Danish swim practices have been interesting for me. I’m swimming with
a club out of the University of Copenhagen which practices in long
course meters! Their practices are only an hour and a half long, but
there’s no rest between sets and no sprint lane…I’m sure you guys can
imagine how much I love that!
Anyways, good luck tomorrow at your meet and swim fast!!! I miss you
all and look forward to seeing everyone on December 29th!
