Introduction Week

   Wow! It's been too long since I've posted but I have been non-stop sight-seeing, meeting new people, and maybe partying here and there... Sorry mom and dad :) This is really going to be an incredible experience because everybody here is really outgoing and wants to have a good time. The campus is awesome. A few of the buildings are silver, black, and glass and very modern. They're called "smart" buildings, so it takes the sun from outside and uses it for the trees that are on the inside (for decorations) and automatically filters the air and such. Complicated but that's what I took away from it.
    My group for introduction week consists of Sebastiano from Italy, Marti from Barcelona, Audrey from France, Piotr from Poland, Jonas from Norway, Jonghyun and Soohwan from Korea, and our leaders Jonathan and Luca from Belgium and Italy. It is a superb group and we all get along great. I think we're the best group here... I might be a little biased. I finally got my room somewhat put together and I'll try to post a picture soon. We already had a "container" dinner (that's what they call where I live) and the Italians made spaghetti carbonara. It was sooooo good. I'm so happy I have Italians in my group :) Next week we're having Korean food. I'm a little nervous because they said that what I think is super spicy isn't spicy at all... yikes!
    

     We have walked around the whole city of Copenhagen I'm pretty sure, I've definitely broken in my shoes. We saw the national library, Christiania, where the queen stays, the little mermaid, the outside of the Tivoli gardens but I highly recommend looking them up because they're really something else. The library was one of the coolest libraries I've ever seen, very modern. We're allowed to study there, which will be really cool because it looks out onto the water. Christiania is a "free" town. They have their own rules and run themselves. We were told before going in the three rules: 1. No running because it causes panic 2. No pictures 3. Have fun. It was really interesting and a very different way of living. They sell marijuana along the street and smoke in front of restaurants and such. It's very interesting to read about.         
     They have 6 bars on DTU's campus and there have been events at 2 of them. Each department has there own bar pretty much.. crazy right? Then we went to the Kulørbar and the Minibar, both in Copenhagen. Its one thing to try and understand people with an accent and its another to understand people with an accent while music is blaring and they're drinking, but fun all the same! 
     Tonight all the international kids want to watch the Superbowl with the Americans. They're more excited than the Americans I think. One of the bars on campus, the Kaellerbar, is showing it so we're going to try and cook some American appetizers and stuff then head to watch and explain the rules. It starts at 12:30 am our time so it's going to be another late night. My first class is tomorrow form 5-9 pm so sleeping in is an option thank goodness.
