Jet Lagggg

Waking up was the most difficult it has ever been.  I was feeling beyond exhausted and so jet lagged.  Lucky for me, we had to be up and at town square for a welcome meeting at 9am.  After the meeting, we went got into groups and went on a hunt to find the major historic and important areas in Copenhagen.  We visited a port, which is the biggest tourist attraction in Copenhagen because you can sit on the canal and admire the surroundings as well as the colors of the buildings, the water, etc.  We also went to the place where the Queen stays and witnessed the changing of the guards.  After 3 hours of walking, we finally came back to our housing.  Kevin and I got a delicious club sand which at the place next to our housing.  Surprisingly, we were able to pick out some  words such as roast beef, bacon, etc. that in Danish look very similar to English.  Unfortunately, we had to go to our classes.  I am taking psychology of human sexuality and after about an hour of lecture we were assigned to groups to go to explore Copenhagen (again).  We ended up having to go to similar places that we were sent to before, while observing the PDA (public display of affection) and cultural aspects of sexuality in Copenhagen.  We also went to 2 gay bars and 2 sex shops, both of which were very different than in the states.  After we finished exploring, I went home to meet up with Kevin and Mick where we then went to the grocery store.  It was not as hard as I expected to get food there and figure out what the words meant.  We got breakfast food, spaghetti and meat balls, bread and sand which supplies, as well as plenty of beer.  The Danes were very helpful when we were purchasing milk, as milk and yogurt come in cartons here and the words are very different from skim, whole, or 2 percent milk.  In Denmark, the grocery store does not provide bags for you.  You either have to bring your own bags or have to purchase them from the grocery stores.  Then we went home, made dinner, watched the Spain vs. Croatia soccer game, and called it a night early.
