beach + shopping!

okie dokie - woke up at 8 am today to find out i got into the MPA program! yay!

then wasted time scrambling around trying to figure which courses i need to register for (cause you know, registration is terrible at UT)

...but then later found out that they needed to change my major first before i could register - my apologies to my sister lol

then went to class - managerial finance (apparently this is easier than corporate finance - but they both count for FIN357)

anyways - my professor is pretty eccentric...and kinda ADD - he repeats a lot like..."first you-you-you sell the product on credit............you sell the product on credit *walk towards board* you sell the product on credit and you have accounts receivable....you sell the product on credit and.....and and you have accounts receivables"

ok it's something along those lines - needless to say class went kinda slow but he's pretty funny - and he grew up in Dallas and went to ATM (that's right, i typed ATM cause that's how it looks like - booooo) but now he teaches at Florida...State University? i think - and he has a huge southern accent when he talks really fast haha

oh yea, did i mention we get two breaks in our classes? and i went out on the balcony during a break (that's right, a balcony - do we have balconies right outside our classrooms at UT? i don't think so)



then met up with people and ate lunch at the canteen - ate the famous CBS bagel sandwiches (idk why it's famous, but my friend said so) and it's pretty cheap considering that this is Denmark (31 dkk - around $5)

then i got my metro pass for the month + a couple days
then we went to the beach! my friend Gloria and i didn't want to walk in the sand so we just walked around and took pictures

then we left to go downtown to go shopping! =)

oh yea, H&M had a cool Lady Gaga display and they have shirts and bags with her on it

then we walked around and stuff - then went to King's Garden (i think that was supposed to be the last place for the treasure hunt, but we abandoned that to watch the soccer game so yea)

then went to Nyhavn again and ate a crepe

then we wanted ice cream so we went to get ice cream - but at the first stand there was obviously some miscommunication cause the old guy told us 25 kroner - we thought it was 35 kroner like the sign said but he said 25 kroner

so we gave him 25 kroner - he then pushes back my 20 kroner coin and we tell him it's a kroner - he examines my 20 kroner coin, puts it back, and picks it up and i have NO idea what the hell he was doing cause it was kroner so yea

then he tells us 25 kroner - and we told him "that's 25 kroner!" and he pushes the 20 kroner back at me and i'm totally confused cause there's 25 kroner there and then he tells us to give another 20 kroner? and i'm like..."35 kroner?" and he says "25 kroner!"

ok yea so these danish dudes obviously don't speak english - maybe they thought thirty was twenty? i have no idea cause the sign clearly says 35 dkk but he kept asking for 25 dkk

then Gloria tries to pay in US dollars but they don't have enough change - and their exchange rate was $1=5 dkk so it was $7 so that's freakin expensive

at this point i ask Gloria if we can just not buy it anymore cause it's been sitting there melting for the past 5 minutes while

and then he takes my 25 dkk and her dollar and blah blah i dunno - at this point i want to leave the ice cream

i don't know if Gloria asked if we could just not buy it, but the dude crumples up the ice cream and throws it away and we leave

Gloria told me that he just told us to leave, but i'm glad cause no way am i paying for melted ice cream (it was already pretty melty when he scooped it out too)

so we went to another ice cream place and the dude told us the soft ice cream there was the best and better than the US cause it was fresher

well it certainly tasted fresher - not like sugar and watery milk mixed together

then we went back to my dorm so i could give her the pictures we took today since Gloria forgot hers

and now i'm tired but need to read a crap load for marketing...i have no idea about finance though cause my professor didn't say anything

oh yea, i discovered that my feet got tanned and now have diamond shapes on them cause that's how my shoes look like - so now it looks like i have dark splotches on my feet =\ i mean if you look at it, it's criss-crossy so it kinda looks neat but yea...splotches

random note: after danish high school students graduate, they ride around town on a bus honking and blowing whistles and cheering and stuff - it's pretty annoying lol and i think some? or all? i dunno but some of them have these sailor-like hats that they wear and you can see a whole bunch of teenagers walking around with them on
