Ok, so granted I was a little irritable yesterday. I was dog tired and just a little bit bitchy. So, sorry for that.
Today I woke up at the ridiculous hour of 3 a.m. and could not go back to sleep. By Ben Franklin's standards I should be healthy and wise...frankly I don't feel very healthy. After spending the morning tossing, turning, reading, watching movies, and drinking coffee, I boarded my bus to go on a scavenger hunt of Copenhagen.
I have to admit, I am glad I did. I saw a lot I had not paid attention to earlier. Sometimes, when I am in a city I get a bit jaded and in the interest of trying to NOT be a tourist I take it too far and forget to look around all together. Today was a nice, forced observation, if you will. I wandered the streets with my group of five (about as large as I like to get when traveling) and saw many nice sites. At each local, DIS had an expert waiting who would lecture us on the specifics of the given sites. There was also free coffee at lots of the places...so doubly nice.
After completing the tour and a quick bite from the international food festival that is going on (I had a gyro) I headed in for the program specific introductions. This proved rather painful as it was, verbatim, the same exact lecture I had at the beginning of the summer on the Morphological History of Copenhagen. And once again, it was in a warm dark room, immediately after lunch.
I got a good nap.
I met up with James and a student he is mentoring named Nick for a beer, grabbed my text books and headed home for another nap.
Tomorrow is the first day of classes which shouldn't be too bad since I don't have classes on thursdays...naybe I'll wander some more.
