Moving forward

 
   

    The first three pictures are from the library on campus and the inside of a building where I have classes. People watch the news on the big screen, and yes, those are giant bean bags. Each floor (3 floors) of the library are different noise levels, and have computers with two screens. The highest most level is the quiet floor soooo I usually am on the first floor. :)
    The picture with the colored chairs is the "lobby" or the middle of a bunch of classrooms on the first floor of what we call the "glass box". All the classrooms are surrounded by windows and have whiteboards, projectors, and flat screen TV's, although I don't know why because we have never used the TV. I think they should lend it to me to bring back to my container... just saying. There are group work tables and individual chairs outside of all of the classrooms. They are also obsessed with coffee so there is a coffee machine in basically every hallway, so when we are on break all the students can get coffee.
    The Danish are also addicted to fussball. There is a fussball table in literally every building I have class and every bar I have been to. I'm going to be so much better when I come home so I expect some fussball tournaments at the Grimm cabin. Also, if you don't score here, you have to crawl under the table.... I luckily have not had to do that yet. Knock on wood.
    Next is a traditional Japanese dish that I got to enjoy last night. My Japanese roommate, Takayuki, made homemade sushi and the dish above. I wish I could remember/spell the name of it. It was very good and it was his first time making it! I tried to learn how to make sushi so that I can make it when I come home. He layered the big dish with rice and thin strips of seaweed in the rice and then topped it with an assortment of fish and other items. One of my chinese roommates, Ablat, made another rice dish with shredded sweet carrots and chicken and then you put a type of yogurt in it. They made a chicken dish together as well. All of it was incredible.
    The last picture is the inside of the National library where you can study. It is spectacular inside! The ceilings have a bunch of art and there are multiple floors to study. There is also a restaurant.. its the perfect place for me because you can people watch, watch the river, study and eat.
    I signed up for the Danish trip which takes us to 5-6 main cities all over Denmark and then I signed up for a trip to Lapland where we can see the northern lights and a reindeer safari. I'm staying in some mountain village and each unit has 8-9 rooms I think. We're also taking and arctic tour and you can swim in the Arctic ocean! As if it isn't cold enough outside! I'm also planning on doing a husky safari which should be really neat.
    The other night we went into the city to watch some European football. The match was Madrid versus Manchester. It ended up being a tie so they will rematch later on. Watching football with Europeans is way different than watching American football with Americans... but it was still really fun. Tomorrow night we're going to experience the Copenhagen Dining Week at a restaurant called Le Cofoco.
    I'm also now a Danish resident and have my CPR number which allows me to take advantage of the free health care system if I get sick.
    Well, I'm off to finish up laundry (you should be proud of me mom, I'm not waiting till the last minute) and then head out to play some ping pong at the student house. Miss all of you!
