Hello Copenhagen

I have arrived!

I had a fairly uneventful flight. I drank wine and watched "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," which I have to say is a GREAT movie.  I ended up sitting next to a girl from GW on the flight who was studying at another school in Copenhagen (crazy coincidence) and when I went to baggage claim I ended up running into 2 other girls who go to GW as well, but they were also studying at another school.

Anyway, each of us are assigned a Danish buddy who picks us up at the airport and shows us around for the first week, my buddy's name is Unni- a first year student.  She brought me to my apartment, which is AWESOME.  I live really close to campus and right down the street from a subway and a bus stop.  I basically have own apartment, which is a room with a bed, desk, kitchen and a bathroom that I share with one other girl.  My suite mate hasn't arrived yet, so I'm basically living on my own right now.  After I unpacked Unni showed me around the University, but it was pretty gross out today and we were both pretty tired, so we ended up just hanging out at my apartment for while.  All the students in my building are exchange students, so everyone is really friendly.  I have met students from Singapore, Australia, Holland, Finland, Ireland, England, and Canada.  Since it is Sunday, a lot of stores are closed, so a bunch of us on my floor made dinner and hung out in our building.  Tomorrow we have our first day of class at 9 am- We are spending a week taking Danish.  Hopefully, I will learn something because I can't read or understand anything here.  

I am extremely jet lagged, but I'll keep everyone updated!

Miss you all!
