Longest Day Ever

Traveling to Copenhagen was tiring and long.  After waking up at 4am to get to LAX, I spent 5 hours on the first flight, had a 2 hour lay over and then another 8 hours on the second flight, only getting about 30 minutes of sleep.  By the time I arrived in Copenhagen, I was excited and exhausted.  Once we got to DIS we had to attend an orientation and pick up our books, cell phones, etc.  At this point I was becoming delusional from lack of sleep.  Luckily, Kevin came into the orientation 10 minutes after me; a sigh of relief.  We then went to our housing called Skindergade 40, got into our rooms and unpacked.  We met the three SRA's (Social Residential Advisors) and fellow students that lived in our housing over a couple Pilsner beers and pizza.  Pilsner is the equivalent in price to a Keystone, however Pilsner tastes so much better.  We were informed that there was a soccer match viewing of the Euro Cup in the Kings Garden, just a 5 minute walk away.  Everyone went to the Kings Garden to watch the Denmark vs. Germany game on the big screen.  It was crazy and so much fun.  As I quickly learned, soccer is a way for the people of Denmark to express the pride they have for their country, and they certainly showed it with how many people attended the showing, face paint, jerseys, etc.  After a depressing 2-1 loss to the Germans we strolled home an had the best night sleep I'd ever had.
