Finally in Copenhagen

I have been without Internet since arriving in Copenhagen and it looks like I won't have Internet till Monday! It is weird not having my cell phone and Internet, I have realized how much I take these 'necessities' for granted. 

Lets see... On Sunday morning I met the DIS staff at the airport and they loaded our luggage on a bus and took us to Check-in at the University of Copenhagen. I was given an orientation bag, transportation money and a food stipend. After the housing presentation we were loaded back on the buses and delivered to our different residences throughout the city. My flat is located in Fredriksberg on a steeet called Mynstersvej (which I have no idea how to pronounce!) There are 13 of us living in this flat, all Americans. My roommate is named Bradley and he is from Colorado College in Denver. Our room is split into 2 rooms: sleeping room and study room. We have 2 kitchens, a washing machine, 2 bathrooms, a large common room. The whole flat looks like an IKEA catalog! Here are some pictures:

And, Kitchen #2

I definitely feel safe living where I do because our landlord is Bill Gates' bodyguard when he travels outside of the United States. He said that if we see anyone suspicious roaming around the flat to call him. He is a really cool guy and lives right below us.

The next day we had orientation sessions which included: Opening Ceremony at the Black Diamond, Bus Tours of Copenhagen, Coping in Copenhagen, Danish Crash Course, Program Orientations, Dinners etc... Here are some highlight worthy pictures from Sunday - Thursday:

The Little Mermaid: Overrated

Well, that pretty much brings you up to speed with what I have been doing this past week. Classes started yesterday (Thursday) and went well, I'm taking 5 classes: Danish Language and Culture, European Business Strategy, International Financial Management, Creative Industries, and Russia: Past and Present. We have a welcome party at Club Luux tonight , looks like a pretty trendy establishment. Hopefully my internet will be up and running at the flat by Monday!
