This past week hasn’t been all that exciting. After the buzz of
One of the days I found out my grade for my Corporate Finance exam (the one I thought I did so well on). A FOUR!!!!!!!!! That is absolutely horrible! I don’t know how on earth I could have done so poorly, especially when I thought I did so well. (If you don’t me all that well, I am usually a very good student—A’s or AB’s) I will definitely have to figure out what went so bad. It’s so frustrating because this is the same teacher I had problems with before—Bechmann (avoid him like the plague). He uploaded all of the class information to the site that full-time degree students have access to but international students have very limited access to. That’s frustrating for many reasons, for example, no exam information was posted previous to the exam (where/time/etc), and no information about who his secretary is or how to contact him/her. I emailed him a few other times, letting him know that international students can only see part of what he posts with very snotty replies mainly to the effect of “Contact my secretary”. Which, would be fine (still annoying, but fine) if I had access to that information!!!!!!!! I think I have a new arch nemesis…
Other frustrations dealing with CBS Administration this week—Housing Department. I may sound like I’m going on a crazy lady rant, but honestly, this administration is so messed up. Paying for the second half of housing has been a complete joke. I went to get my bill on March 15 (when they originally said it would be out), and they were late with it. Two more times this happened until I finally received the bill. Great, there goes about $30 lost due to the plunging exchange rate while they were so late in getting their stuff organized. Then, when I went to pay the thing…following their instructions, and let me quote… “Your payment can easily be made in any Danske Bank branch office or at the post office…” Following strict instructions I went to the post office to “easily” make my payment. Stood in line for a good 15 minutes until they told me only Danish bank cards are accepted at any/all post offices in
Yeesh.. okay moving on. Wednesday night I went up to Espaergade (near Helsingor) to stay with Dino’s family for a few days. Thursday was a Danish holiday (not sure what, but they don’t do anything that day). We were going to have a barbeque but it was such bad weather we couldn’t. Dino and I took a walk around Espaergade that night, very pretty and quaint neighborhood. Oh and I got to try the Fitnessdk up in Helsingor, it was really nice. Of course, there was so much food I was stuffed the entire time. Friday we went back into Helsingor and walked around and ate dinner. I also went to mail a package to my roommates (finally after I had been trying for a week or two) and because I wanted to mail a shot glass (to Anna for her 21st) they were going to charge me almost $30!!! Without that it was close to $15…sorry Anna I owe you a drink or two.
Saturday we came back to
Sunday (today)—we went to Vladebeck or somewhere like that to watch Dino’s brother play soccer. His first game back since a foot injury about 6-7weeks ago. Very nice weather, he scored a goal, but they still lost. I think I’m turning a little European because I actually enjoyed watching the game a bit. A good workout, finishing my book (Diary of Anne Frank) outside in our courtyard, and finishing up some things to round out my weekend. Whew.. long blog but I think I’m updated!
