disastrous

ok i already feel a little home sick but i think it's cause of my disastrous trip here

let's start with friday when i woke up at like 8:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep

took another shower haha and watched portugal v. brazil game which was quite boring..fell asleep in the second half

checked out of the hotel at 12

ate lunch at the airport

read magazines at borders/looked around

then sat and read while waiting to board my flight

i think these 24 hours all alone with like nobody to talk to contributes to my already home-sickness - darn you continental!

board plane - read, watched the proposal again and slept for like an hour, watched how to train your dragon (it's a pretty cute movie) and csi: ny and 30 rock

random observations:
- i was one out of like...2-3 asians on that flight
- danish (maybe europeans in general?) teens/youth eat a lot (for dinner, the danish people around me ate everything - like EVERYTHING - the two girls next to me, the three people across from me, and the girl diagonally from me - yea, they all had empty trays!...i felt bad lol)
- not sure what nationality, but teenage boys wear lots of plaid (some dude was wearing plaid shorts with a plaid shirt)

then i arrive at the airport, wait a long time to get our passports and stuff looked at (there were only 4 people working! but then again it was a saturday morning)

went to baggage claim only to find my big suitcase MISSING

talk to service people so they can find it

go into the terminal where no one from the business school is waiting since they were only there on friday - there were also people with video cameras and they started interviewing some people...dunno who they were =\ some band? soccer players (i don't think so though)?

wander around - go to the 7/11 to buy a phone card, walk to hilton hotel just to check to see if CBS was there - they weren't so i took a taxi

got to the dorm, some people told me the office is closed but i went in and it turns out some girls were waiting for someone to come cause one of the girls got robbed o_o

met one of the ISUP people and her parents who were very nice

FINALLY GET TO MY DORM

unpack a little

sleeeep

went to info meeting at 3 pm - i almost fell asleep during some of the speeches

welcome buffet - met some people

went back to dorm room and unpacked and yea i didn't go to the welcome party but my friend Dora said it wasn't that great

ok so these few crappy-ish days will hopefully be erased from my memory

random note: is therapy a common thing in Denmark/Europe? cause the father of the ISUP person asked the girl who got robbed if she went to therapy and told her that she should go in order to get the stress out and stuff...hmm interesting
