Hej fra Danmark!

Friends & Family,
  I have made it safe to good 'ol Denmark.  I got in late Monday evening via train from Copenhagen.  From the station I was picked up from an appointed mentor from the school, by a Danish girl named Sanne.  She's very sweet!  We took a bus to my apartment, which is very close to the university.
  Unfortunately, the airline (Air Berlin) would only check one of my two bags!  So I will not be able to upload photos until Monday, for my camera charger is my other bag I had to ship from Germany-- which is currently at the Copenhagen airport (of course, right?) Luckily Sanne is going there to see her sister, so she will pick it up for me Monday.
  I love my new home.  (I will post pictures.)  It's a two bedroom, one bathroom, and full kitchen-- my roommate will arrive in about a week and will be an international student as well.  Since i've been in Denmark, i've been taking care of necessary details-- registering for a social security number (called a CPR number, which i'll need to set up a bank account if I wish) signing my lease, picking up my student I.D., touring campus, put my name on the waiting list to rent a bicycle, bought a bus pass, etc.
  Sanne and I went to the grocery store yesterday.. that was a trip.  Seriously, this grocery store was like nothing I have ever seen before!  There was even two huge isles filled with different types of cheeses.  Sooo many different types of homemade breads' and chocolate (score.)
  Anywhoooo!  Tomorrow I am going to sign up for free Danish language courses to take during the week, until I start school August 22.  Also, I am planning a trip to Amsterdam next week ;)

Love you all, update tomorrow!
Farvel!  (Goodbye.)
