HELLOOOO BLOGOSPHERE!!! (I think that is what its called.. I’m being a blog poser, I know) Please excuse my absence the last few days, for some reason it would not let me log in.. but hopefully I have it figured out.

The past few days have been so crazy! Summary—

Saturday- Wake up at 6am. Drive to Pensacola. Fly to Charlotte. Fly to Chicago. Hang out in Chicago for 6+ hours. Fly 8 hours to Copenhagen (not sleeping a wink, obviously). Jessica left her carry on at the airport and had to go back and get it.

Sunday- Arrival CPH! Jessica and I attempted to carry two exactly 50 lb each roller bags, huge roller carryons, backpacks (Jessica thought she was backpacking through the jungles of Europe for a few years and brought a bag the size of her body), and purses. Needless to say, this is physically impossible. So we were realllllly nice to some guys and they helped us. We arrived at our apartment and realized we would be carrying said luggage up FIVE flights of stairs. So we made new guy friends J

Monday- We went to the opening ceremony and ate pancakes at City Hall. Apparently this is  a HUGE deal that only happens once every like 10 years for Olympic medals winners, etc. So that was exciting! 

Tuesday- We went to orientations in the morning, made friends, explored the beautiful city of Copenhagen that I am now incredibly in love with. I have never seen a city so beautiful, so welcoming, so clean, and so breathtaking as Copenhagen. I am very aware that I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to call this city my home for the next semester.  I am very blessed.

Wednesday- I used today to catch up on some sleep then Bethea, Elizabeth and I went exploring and went to the canals, the Palace and a beautiful park with a beautiful church in it. We don’t know what its called. Such tourists..

Fun Facts about my apartment-

1.     1. Jessica and I are the only girls

2.     2. There is only 1 bathroom (to share with the boys)

3.     3. There is no elevator (therefore I can never breathe when I get to my room)

4.     4. The wind blows all the doors and windows open and closed so I wake up multiple times to banging each night

5.     5. We don’t know how to work the dishwasher (can currently NOT see the countertop)

6.     6. There are no curtains in the bathroom (its hard to explain the layout, but the bathroom opens to our ENTIRE apartment building’s windows.. awkward)

7.     7. Danes apparently don’t have drawers

8.     8. Black and white Hawaiian duvets (I love them but to say Jessica HATES them would be a huge understatement)

9.    9.  There is essentially one outlet for us to share

10.10.  It is so close to all our friends, all our classes, and is so COMFY (That’s what Jessica remind ourselves about 8 times a day). We absolutely love our apartment!!!!

Copenhagen in seriously the greatest experience in the whole world! Hopefully I wont make any really long posts like this anymore but I just KNOW everyone wanted to know alllll about the past few days!

^o^,

PS. Jessica and I don’t understand the grocery stores, cant cook, and cant affort to go out to eat. We simply don’t eat. I’m predicting weight loss by December to be at least 12 pounds.
