This week was a short week for classes. There is a Danish national holiday on Friday, and my guess is that DIS decided to give us Thursday off too so that the number of classes will be even between Monday/Thursday and Tuesday/Friday classes. Anyways…
MONDAY:
Overall, this was a rather regular Monday. I did have to get myself up early though so that I could go back to my favorite place in Copenhagen…THE BRITISH EMBASSY! Haha. I had to turn in an Administrative Review Form so that they would look at my application again and consider the reason why I feel they made a mistake in refusing my application in the first place. It was actually sort of interesting for two reasons mainly. (1) The guard now recognizes me as ‘the American’ (what a nice title). (2) He didn’t really know what I was submitting, and I had to explain it to him. Regardless, he took my form for me, and in reassurance, I received a letter on Wednesday informing me that my form is in the right hands. The guard was also nice enough and said he would attempt to inform those necessary that I am only in Denmark for 20 more days, so any means of expediting would be appreciated (who knows if that message got through though).
After that adventure, I simply made my way to DIS to attend my classes for the remainder of the day and get some work done. We actually had a guest lecturer in my marketing class from Microsoft, which was pretty interesting. He shared with us a little bit about Microsoft’s efforts to launch Windows 7. Additionally, he introduced us to their new product, which can be used through XBOX. It is this absolutely ridiculous body movement recognition device where the gaming system then functions similar to a Wii, however there are no remotes involved. You should check it out (Go to YouTube.com and search “Project Natal”, it should be the first thing that come up).
TUESDAY:
This day began my assessments for the week. I had a quiz in Danish and a presentation in my Leadership class. I think overall, they both went well. I was a little worried about them because I hadn’t studied as much as I normally would.
After classes, I then made my way home, stopping at the grocery store on the way. I had offered (for the first time, if you can believe it) to cook dinner for my host family. I made two of (what I consider to be) my specialities – ratatouille and parmesan-oatmeal crusted chicken. I had a little difficulty finding all my ingredients (no squash or parmesan cheese ☹), luckily I managed to find substitutes where necessary. Overall, everything turned out really well in my mind. I think my host family enjoyed it too!
WEDNESDAY:
I went to school in the morning to meet up with my international marketing group to discuss more about our progress on our 30 pages marketing report that is due in a week. I think we are making good progress on it, however I know that a lot of minor things will probably come up last minute.
However, the big event for the day occurred in the afternoon. I had my first FINAL! It was about three hours of writing about the European business environment. Like my other two assessments, I was a little worried about it going in because I felt like I hadn’t studied as much as I should have, however coming out of it, I felt rather comfortable with the finished product. I am very curious to know how I did though because this final was worth 30% of my final grade for that class. It is definitely exciting (and a little surreal) to know that I have finished one of my classes for the semester, and the others are seriously wrapping up.
One really cool thing, which would never happen in the US, is that as a congratulatory gift, the DIS business program gave each business two free drinks at a local bar right after our final was over. I managed to consume one and gave my second one to someone else. I am currently a little sick and didn’t think I could manage too much alcohol.
After that I simply headed home to relax for the rest of the evening. I managed to get a few little tasks completed, but I mostly just watched TV and caught up on the new episode of Glee.
THURSDAY:
Today was a very relaxing day. I started by taking my time waking up (although I still woke up earlier than necessary – I think the fact that it is light outside at 5:30 is causing this problem). However, I decided to stay in bed and catch up on the new episode of Bones. I then stayed around the house for the remainder of the day. I went for a short run, showered, packed (I am going to Bornholm tonight for the long weekend with DIS), managed to get a little bit of school work done, and now I am catching up on my blog and writing this very sentence… I think now I need to stop though, since I am catching the bus in 10 minutes and probably should make sure that I have everything packed. I’ll let you know how my trip goes when I get back ☺

4.27.10 – Rock Climbing in Sweden!
This trip through DIS was actually supposed to happen last weekend, however our guide was stuck in London due to the airplane mess caused by the unpronounceable volcano in Iceland. Fortunately, they were able to reschedule it for this weekend. I actually was initially hesitant on going this weekend because it wasn’t ideal since I have several major assignments dues. In retrospect, I am definitely glad that I went though.
We left Copenhagen at 7:30am on Sunday morning (this was definitely a down side because I had to walk to the station at 6:00 in the morning to be able to get into town on time), and made our way up to the north of Zealand where we took a 20 minute ferry to get to Sweden. The ferry was actually kind of funny because it was so short. Additionally, you can see where you are going the whole time. It is ridiculous how close these two countries are at this point. We then had about another hour of driving before we got to our meeting point to join up with our guides. Interestingly, one of them was English and the other Australian who were helping us, a group of Americans studying in Denmark, but rock climbing in Sweden (talk about a mix of cultures).
They briefly went through most of the safety rules with us and we all got harnessed up. We then headed down the hill to get to our climbing location for the day. It was beautiful. We were right on the water and there was actually a nice little pebbled beach next to us. Once we got down there, our guides began setting up the first collection of climbing routes for the morning. There were three climbs of varying difficulty. I impressed even myself that I was able to make it up each one with rather little difficulty. I mean I have been rock climbing before but always inside (beside the one time in the Czech Republic a couple weeks ago).
Unfortunately, the worst event of the day (for me) also happened during the morning. Setting the Scene: Our guides were also teaching several of us how to belay so that we could be using all three lines at once. They actually had us doubled up on the belay just in case. At one point, I was in charge of the secondary position, where I just held the rope about a meter away from the belayer just as a back up in case the climber had a really sudden fall. While my friend Heidi was climbing, at one point she called ‘Watch Out!’ because a rock had slipped and was falling down. It happened so quickly that the only thing I remember is seeing said rock coming towards my head, tilting my head down, and getting smacked on the head with this rather large rock. Fortunately, I had my helmet on, otherwise I would have been a goner. It still managed to hurt pretty badly though, and I now have a tender spot on my head. Overall, I was fine, but I did make sure to just sit back and watch for the rest of the morning.
After lunch, our guides moved the easiest climb to a more difficult one, which I took on first right after lunch. After staring at the cliff for about 5-10 minutes I finally started to give it a go. I really wasn’t expecting to make it up (at least not the first time), but somehow I did manage it. I did slip out once, but other than that I did really well. Our guide who was belaying me also complimented me on my ability to do so well. With those compliments and a major success after my mini accident, I decided that would be my last climb for the day.
I then watched everyone else climbing the three different routes and walked around a little with a few people for the remainder of the day. We left the climbing site around 4:00pm, said goodbye to our guides, and made our way back to Denmark.
Once back in our host country, we did stop for dinner at a nice little restaurant where we had a really good dinner of turkey, broccoli (not enough of it though in my opinion), and potatoes. Then since we were with DIS, we of course were serviced dessert (chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream). After dinner, we simply headed back in the city to be dropped off, and from there I made my way back home on the train.
I did attempt to be slightly productive once I was home, since I do have a presentation, quiz, and my first final this week. I think I was successful enough. I feel pretty relaxed about everything, so at least that feeling is going to get me through this short week.

All Caught Up
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that I finally managed to catch up with my blog. Now I am up-to-date and my travel vacation is fully cataloged. I hope you enjoy reading :)

4.23.10 – Visa = DENIED ☹
Before you all freak out just read my blog post, and hopefully I’ll explain everything.
Last night (Thursday), I received an email that my passport was ready for pick up at the British Embassy. I was really excited and planned my day accordingly, which included leaving my second class early. I was able to get a good night sleep, got some homework completed in the morning (quiet the accomplishment for a Friday morning), headed into town, and had my one and a half classes. I then made my way to the British Embassy with a mixed bag of thoughts. The email did give any reference as to whether my visa had been approved and since I had difficulty in submitting it, I was a little worried.
Well I apparently had reason to be worried because my visa clearance was denied. Trust me my heart dropped. Thankfully, they included a reason as to why my visa was denied, which I now have complete understanding of. After asking a couple of questions to the guard at the gate for clarification, I headed back to DIS to regroup and figure things out. [I know I am presenting all rather rationally, and that’s because I have had a day to think about it, but believe me I was very stressed and worked up at this point. I was even starting to get really hot because my blood was pumping so much.]
Back at DIS, I went online to a website that I was directed to through my refusal notice where I could print a form to request an administrative review of my application. This pretty much allows me to say why I think a mistake was made in reviewing my application and therefore why it should be rectified. After reading up on this and reviewing my refusal notice again, I called my host institute in London to get further clarification. She seemed to understand what was going on, or at least why there was confusion. Overall, it is a technicality that is normally understood in the US because they are used to processing applications like mine, however this technicality is unknown to reviewers in Copenhagen (I simply wish I knew this before my application was submitted). Anyways, the woman in London told me I should proceed with asking for the administrative review (the tricky thing is that it could take up to 28 days after I submit the form and I will only have about 20 left in Copenhagen by the time I submit the form on Monday). She also suggested trying to look into expediting the process once I return to the states as an additional plan, which also seems feasible. I was grateful though that she helped clarify the situation at least for me. She also provided me with a reason to list as to why I think the mistake was made. Overall, the process has simply gotten more complicated, and it is stressful because I though I would have all this completed by this point and be ready to go (although I guess things don’t always work out that easily).
Clearly this put a dent into my day, but once I prepared as much as I could and talked to both mom and dad about it, I realized that it would work itself out in one way or another. I’m staying optimistic about the whole thing (and I ask that everyone else does too).
On a positive note though, once I got home I went ahead and ordered my plane ticket for London. Coincidentally, I got a fare update (which I signed up for online) for my London plane ticket, which showed that the fares had dropped from about $1050 to $800! I figured I couldn’t pass this deal up. Although technically it didn’t really matter since mom and I planned to pay for the ticket with AMEX points that she had saved up. This is becoming my go to payment for getting to London I guess (its how we paid for my trip to London a year ago to visit Natalie).
Initially, I was going to try to be productive this evening (I am going rock climbing on Sunday, so I am losing a study day), however I was in no mindset to do so. Instead, I headed over to the hojskole to have a girls night with my friends there. It included chocolate, ice cream, wine, champagne, Mamma Mia, and John Tucker Must Die. It was the perfect way to recover from the day. Oh! and before we started the movies, my friend Kasandra did a tarot card reading for me in relation to how my summer was going to turn out, and it looks positive. In my interpretation of her interpretation, I simply have to stay positive and persevere, and I will get my visa and not only have a great time in London but also have a great summer overall!

4.21.10 – Christiania
This morning, I had a Field Study to Christiania with my Danish class. Now, I highly recommend googling it because I might not be able to explain it appropriately. Christiania is an autonomous neighborhood within the city of Copenhagen. It is regulated by special laws in addition to having some relation to the municipal laws in Copenhagen. However, it is most known for being developed during the hippie movement and being something of a squatters town. I would say that identity definitely holds true today.
When we arrived in Christiania, we had a brief introduction about the area, and then we went on guided tours throughout the neighborhood. Our guides are inhabitants and citizens of the area, aka Christians (no religious affiliation). It was really interesting walking around because on one hand they did maintain some very free ideals as well as a greater sense of community, on the other hand, it also felt a little but run down and shabby looking. They definitely have an extensive recycling system, which leads to a lot of their buildings being made out of reused materials (including a home made entirely of reused windows). Unfortunately, it also makes the area look a little grimy. This was probably a little exacerbated by the fact that it was a rainy and gross weather day too. I think it might be interesting to go back on a nicer day and see it when their may be more people out and about, but at the moment my impression is still a little low. I am glad that I have seen it at least once, and got to learn a little more about it, however odd it may be. After all, it is the number two, tourist attraction in Copenhagen behind Tivoli.
For the rest of the day, I simply made my way home – in various weather conditions including sleet, rain, snow, and some sunshine. I then did a little bit of homework in preparation for the remainder of the week.

4.19.10 – Last Day of European Business Strategy!
Once again it was a Monday morning, and I had to make my way into class for my 8:30 class, however it was well worth it because it also happened to be my last class for European Business Strategy! We still have the final ahead of us, but knowing that I no longer have an 8:30am class in the morning seems like an accomplishment within itself.
The rest of the day was just like any other Monday though. I have my two other classes with my five hours break in between. I did really enjoy my history class today though. We had a guest lecturer who actually used to be a DIS student himself and now lives and works at an architecture firm in Copenhagen. We are to the point in this class where we are discussing modern Copenhagen. In particular, he was telling us more about the evolution of the public spaces within the city and the biking culture itself. I think what I liked most about it though was that he made it seem more like a conversation and was very casual. It almost didn’t fell like a class. Additionally, he was talking a little bit about a topic that we (as a class) had a familiarity with.
During the rest of the day, I was only relatively productive, primarily because I am still having trouble finding motivation and stamina to work on all these projects that I have coming up at the end of the semester. I did manage to get a few things done though and feel pretty comfortable for the remainder of the week.

4.17-18.10 – Relaxing Weekend
This weekend ended up being much more relaxing than initially intended. This is mainly because I was supposed to go on a rock climbing trip in Sweden on Sunday, which had to be cancelled because our guide was stuck in London due this mess with the volcanic ash. However with that trip being postponed, it meant that I didn’t have to be quite as productive on Saturday and could spread my work over the weekend.
Saturday was relatively uneventful. I took my time waking up, did some of my more basic homework, and watched a movie (The Prince & Me where I garnered some insight on how ironic this movie actual is). Then around 4:00, I headed out on my hour and a half journey to go to one of my friend’s (Gillian) house for dinner with her and her host parents. It was actually a lot of fun to see where someone else in a host family lives and what their situation is like. Like me, she has had only positive experiences with her host parents (she is also the 5th student they have hosted – like me – so they have some experience). The one thing that I thought was really considerate was that her host parents speak English practically 100% of the time when Gillian is around. It was simply nice to understand what the conversation was about at all time. I do still appreciate hearing Danish in my own host home though. Even though I cannot understand much, I think I am definitely getting used to some of the sounds and can even begin to pick out a few words that I understand here and there.
We ended up having such a nice dinner that the time passed so quickly, it was midnight before we knew it. Even though it was offered for me to stay over, I decided to make my way home; I simly like waking up in my own bed and home in the morning. It wasn’t too bad with a combination of a walk, bus ride, train, and another walk home from the station. I have definitely become accustomed to the transportation system and given way to some of its chaotic tendencies. In my mind now, as long as I can get on a bus in a direction where I know I am going or at a train station, I feel perfectly comfortable that I will eventually make my way home.
After not getting home until about 1:30 from my journey home, I ended up sleeping in until almost noon on Sunday. This definitely cut into my time to be productive, however the sleep was much needed (since I think I was still recovering from my travel break a little bit). Sunday was pretty uneventful, yet did end up being decently productive. I got a good start on a couple of my projects, which I am starting to feel pressure to get done. I am currently feeling the calm before the storm, however because in two weeks time all chaos is about to break out with a variety of projects, papers, and presentations due during the last week of class. It is also becoming additionally hard to get motivated to complete them because no one at DIS is in the mood to get work done. We all just simply want to enjoy our last weeks here and the nice weather that is finally coming with some regularity.
After a day of working and relaxing, I ended my weekend on a very good note because I finally got to talk to Tory. We kept missing each other all week because he is also becoming very busy at school with projects and papers due. Luckily, we were finally able to catch up for a little while.
