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.)
Yay! Can't wait to hear more about it!
