A month flew by..

I cannot believe it has been a MONTH since I've arrived! Time has gone by so quickly, yet I think back to where I was a month ago and realize that alot has changed. I feel like I know the city so much better now, even though still not nearly as much as there is to know. I know more about some people here than I know about some people/friends I've known my whole life. Today I even caught myself about to roll my eyes at someone fumbling to understand the metro, weeks ago that was me not knowing what was going on and hating the person looking at me!

A quick recap on the past few days..

Saturday night--we were going to try and find this bar called "Blue Buddha" downtown but walked around and couldn't find it anywhere, so we ended up at Top Dollar. Near Kulor Bar, but with different music and a whole different crowd. We were all dancing and have a good time, more of a place that true Danes hang out in I would guess. After that I met Dino and his friends and were on our way to A-Bar, but ended up not going there, I think a fight or something broke out...?

Sunday--I was sooo exhausted from the past few days that I couldn't stop sleeping! I'm not sure how many total hours, but it was alot. I wonder if I can still use the "Oh it must be jet lag" excuse..? A little studying got done, but only a very little, it's hard to really focus when you have no classes on Monday.

Monday--Woke up early, ran some errands, which lead me to Norreport, then I was supposed to meet Dino for lunch, but I got lost. Not sure how or where, but I ended up right back where I started. We tried this place called "Sunway" (not kidding), it was a complete rip off of Subway, only the guy didn't understand English very well apparently because only one of the 4 vegetable I ordered made it on my sub, along with a few other random things and this sweet mustard sauce that I guess I don't like. So that was a failure. We hung around for awhile after that, then we were both hungry (still for me and again for him) so we went to Sunset Blvd. We ended up sitting and talking there for a long time, which means still no studying done at this point, then, finally around 4-5pm to the library! Stayed and studied there for awhile, then to Fotex for some groceries. Wooo exciting Monday night!

Tuesday--Had Corporate Finance and Societies in Transition classes today until 6pm. I brought my computer (still with no battery) and luckily the Societies in Transition room had plug-ins so I finally got to use it. Too bad I really don't need it for that class and the class is really boring, so I confess, I didn't pay too much attention. Ended up instant messaging the guys sitting next to me the majority of the time.. oops.. Afterwards, met Dino at the library, then we decided we would try to cook together. So at Fotex we got ingredients for fajitas/tacos... that was interesting. They turned out pretty dang good if you ask me, I think he was impressed by my domestic abilities. After our late dinner, we walked by the canal for awhile because it was a really nice night out, then he went home and I finally got to studying.. hours later Elyse and I still were not in bed. We got an unusual wake up call around 3:30 am from Ben and Warner, they were being destructive in the hallway and then in our room. Now my computer chair is broken (thanks jerk ben), our alarm clock got unplugged, so did my computer, and other random happenings.

Today--Waking up was a bit rough on no sleep... especially when a full day at the library is the only thing to look forward to. Dino and I met and he ate lunch, then studying. I got quite a bit done--International Management assignment and readings, and Corporate Finance assignment and readings. It took probably 3 hours in total though :( After that we headed off to Magasin, this fancy department store that for some reason sells food too because we heard there was an "American sale". I don't know how much of the "sale" part was true, or the "American" for that matter. Things that were/are perceived to be American--Campbells soups, Starbucks coffee, beer, alfredo and marinara sauces, peanut butter, and marshmallows. Interesting.... and as for "sale", a big thing of condensed chicken noodle soup was 25kr, or $5, which for being on sale I'd say is a rip off. For some reason I was still tempted to buy chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, 2 things of marshmallows, and peanut butter. My total bill was $21!!! For that little amount of food! I'm still not really sure why I bought it all, I guess because I was in a frenzy when I saw the red/white/blue flag and food with instructions I could actually read. When we got back I had Dino try "American" peanut butter. He didn't notice a huge difference, and I haven't tried Danish/European peanut butter so I couldn't really judge. We busted out the chicken soup for dinner.. I think he was really grossed out by it, and honestly so was I. After dinner he had some GREAT news to share................ we had been talking about going to Croatia/Montenegro for a trip at some point and he told me that he was looking into tickets and found some cheap ones in May for about 7-10 days. He has family/summer homes in Montenegro so lodging and food will be taken care of. Plus, he speaks a little of the language and is fluent in Bosnian so I won't have to worry about that. He said his mom was also looking and found package deals for really cheap too, ahhhhh how exciting!!!! If you don't know Croatia/Montenegro, please please either use Google Images to see pictures or youtube.com to view videos. It looks amazing I'm so excited!!!
