free day! >>> shopping!

ok so when i have free day i usually go shopping or window shopping haha

went to class today, and i must say, i really hate 2.5 hr blocks of classes - it's so dull even though we have two breaks

i got my CBS student id today though - yes it's an ugly picture i know haha

after class i went to eat another bagel sandwich from the CBS canteen and then went to the porcelain factory outlet again to look at stuff with Gloria and Claire

then Gloria and i headed downtown again!

highlight: we saw this guy - Gloria asked if he was real lol

...in case some of you don't get it - it wasn't windy outside, he flipped his tie up and raised his coat up with wires? or something

we went into another store that was connected with another Royal Copenhagen store - it has all these interesting design stuff and i saw this haha - it's a laptop bag

then ZARA! where i bought this dress

129 kr (around $22)
i don't think that's a bad price for a dress right? (it was more than 50% off!)
and it has POCKETS!

and then i went grocery shopping cause i have no food haha

went home, did laundry for the first time which was a confusing experience cause the handouts they gave out on how to do the laundry did not match up - and it totally sucked cause one of the washing machines was broken and there's only three

but oh well at least i got it done

and as requested from mai, here's a slice of my cake that i ate tonight

yay! and that's my day! gotta do some marketing stuff and plan which museums Claire and i are going to lol

relax day!

so today was a relax day for me =)

although i should be preparing for my presentation next wednesday i have absolutely no idea what the professor wants so i just don't want to do it anymore lol

so today i woke up at 11 am after sleeping for a super long time (slept at 12:30 am) cause of the exhausting day yesterday haha

i got ready by 1-ish and went to the porcelain outlet (Royal Copenhagen outlet i'm guessing) next to my dorm and looked around - they have so many pretty and delicate things! like all these tea cups have pretty thin/slim handles

i didn't know if i could take pictures but i took some blurry ones on my iphone haha

i asked one lady what the sign meant for this tea cup set and she told me that it was like, the second run? second set? or something like that because these were not perfect - like in the design, there might be a flower that was drawn too small or something - so each of them are unique
i thought that was pretty cool and she was nice enough to tell me what things meant =) but anyways, stuff there are waaaaaaaaay expensive - a really really pretty tea cup can be around $60 or more

then i went back to my dorm and got my stuff for school and went looking around at stuff at Frederiksberg Centret again haha

then i went to marketing class - which was soooooooooooo boring - my gosh that class is boring - i think it's one of the most boring classes i've ever taken in my life - it's partially due to the professor too though (he's nice, but super boring)

and i talked to another girl in class about the textbook we're using and she hates it too haha so i'm not the only one (then the girl next to me also told me she hated it) it's seriously so dry and there's no color and no pictures T_T

a group presented today and at the end people actually asked questions - my gosh some people asked so many questions - like in the US, at least everyone is courteous enough to NOT ask questions cause they know nobody wants to stay in class or prolong the boredom - evidently some people just don't get it here

i was seriously thinking shut up already, i'm dying of boredom when some people were STILL asking questions

after class our group got together to talk about our project

yea, i really don't understand wth we're supposed to do - the instructions are so vague - i hate that
i mean i get enough vague instructions at McCombs - especially in MIS, i don't need anymore!

then Gloria and i went to fotex - i bought a cake there =) when we were looking at cakes, we asked what one of them was and the girl just asks us if we want samples and we said sure

and she gave me like a slice! A SLICE! they don't do that in america! Danes are so generous with their samples - love it!it kind of tastes like one of those cakes you can find at whole foods but of course it's way cheaper here - it was only 30 kr for this big one (around $6)

this will be my dessert for the next two weeks!

after fotex, we went back to Gloria's residence, Valby, they were having a bbq but i didn't participate in that since i had no idea what to bring

Gloria cooked for me =) rice noodles with some soup and tomatoes and chicken - it was pretty good

then Claire and i started planning our trips lol we're probably going to Malmo in Sweden for a day and we planned all our trips to the museums in Copenhagen that have free admission

i think she and i are the only ones that actually want to go to museums haha

then i went back to my dorm and ate some of my cake with tea :) feels like home

yup so that's my day! nothing exciting really

random note: some people here really don't wear deodorant

random note 2: did you know that there's no word for please in Danish? apparently they don't really care about the polite things - like on the street they basically expect you to move for them - i'd be walking and this guy would be walking towards me and as they get closer, they won't move at all so yea, if i don't move i bet you they'd just run into you

and if you think you can get run over in China with their crazy driving, think again - here in Copenhagen if you don't move, they'll seriously run you over - they just keep going! i think i've almost been run over like twice now - no joke
