Hola! Yeah, I just wrote in Spanish, you jealous? haha I kind of miss Spanish because Danish is just so much harder than Spanish was for me, but that's okay.
On Monday, I got to sleep in because I did not have my Virtual Worlds and Social Media Class. Because we had to attend a workshop last Tuesday evening for three hours, we didn't have class. It was nice to be able to sleep in and also spend some time getting ready/ looking nice. The Danes are SO fashionable and I feel like the clothes I brought with me here cannot even compare to how the Danes dress. Even my fellow DIS classmates seem to be well dressed. I don't know if they are up-ing their style since we are in Copenhagen, or if they dress like that all the time, even in the U.S. No offense to everyone at Eastern, but most people dress very casually. Whenever I dress "up", a.k.a. dress like a normal Dane, people will ask me why I am dressed up. Just some food for thought. I do remember my friend Sarah who studied abroad in Spain told me that Europeans always dress nicely and she is definitely right. Maybe DIS only let in students who dress nicely... haha just kidding.
I had some time between my Psych of Human Sexuality class and my Livability in the Modern City class so I went shopping. I was on the prowl for some cute boots and I found them. I spent more than I ever would in the US, but this Copenhagen, the 5th most expensive city, so I guess something's got to give. I also went to a store called Tiger, which is sort of like Five Below, and they sell cute little things that are inexpensive, just like Five Below, however, I am pretty sure there were items in there more than 25 kroner ($5). I got a new pair of headphones, as the ones I brought over, only one of the ear buds worked. They aren't the greatest quality, but hey at least both ear buds work.
After that, I went to a site visit for my Livability in the Modern City class to Amager Strand. It was this man-made beach. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it A. wasn't so cold and windy and B. didn't take so long to walk through. They apparently have made it that no cars can park around it by putting the curbs up really high so that cars cannot open their doors around the place. By making it only accessible by biking/metro, it helps make people be more environmentally conscious. I'm sure it is a really fun place to go in the summer, but since it is officially fall, it's a bit too cold for me. I think it's funny that most of the beaches here are man-made.
Yesterday, I had class until 12. Unfortunately, the boots I bought seem to be a bit too small and give me blisters. However, I felt really cool when I saw another Danish girl wearing the same boots in black. Today I went to a shoe place in Gentofte to see if he can make the shoes bigger and he can. It will only cost about $12, which is pretty good. Later that day I met some girls to figure out what we were going to do for travel break, which is from October 29-November 13th. From October 29-November 4th, I will be in Portugal taking surfing lessons. I am so excited! It is a DIS trip. However, I do not have any plans for for the 5-13th so my friends and I were trying to figure out what to do. We are hopefully going to Prague, Vienna, and Paris, though some of these are subject to change. All I know is that we are definitely going to Paris, which I am happy about. I then ate dinner with my friends in town at a cute little cafe.
Sorry no pictures this time! I hear that the weather in Philadelphia is becoming more fall-like. The weather here has been fall-like for a while. Thanks for reading!
