Jeg er Københavner

I like to officially call myself a Copenhagener.  Not just because I finally got a bike, but because I really feel comfortable here and am starting to get into the swing of things.  So much has happened this past week.  I'm getting a lot closer to my housemates, I have somewhat of a routine, I officially registered as a resident, and Copenhagen is going above and beyond my expectations. 

First of all, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the entire time I've been here.  Yesterday was the first day it has rained since moving in, which is completely not normal but I'm not complaining. 

My classes are really interesting and I know I'm going to learn so much.  I'm really excited for the field trips and study tours too.  My Environmental Policy in Practice professor is so awesome, he currently works for Greenpeace leading the "Save the Arctic" campaign in Denmark.  This is what he did on Wednesday...

...yup.

Along with class and lots of school work already (including a 30 minute group presentation about Green Ideology), this week was fun filled with these major highlights:

• "Hygge" in the courtyard 
• Swimming in the (freezing cold) harbor 
• A climate seminar "Climate Change and Developing Countries"
• Morning runs through the King's Garden and around the canals
• Walking up the Rundetaarn (Round Tower)
• Biking to a "Taste the World" Diversity Fair
• Making/eating traditional snobrød

Today, my friend Ally said something completely horrifying...  We're already an eighth of the way done with this semester.  HOW?  I think I'll stay here forever.
