I made it!

Well I'm officially in Copenhagen! And after 13 and a half hours of sleep I am ready to take this city by storm! Last night we went to a party that was for everyone who had gone on a ski trip with my host family and it was really fun! I had no idea what was going on most of the time because everyone was speaking Danish (obviously) but I enjoyed myself nonetheless. I loved just watching everyone interact.
My host family is fabulous! Jan is my Danish Dad and he manages nine Sticks and Sushi restaurants in the Copenhagen area. He likes to joke around and reminds me a lot of my American dad... My Danish mom is Lisbeth. She owns her own salon and was nice enough to drive me back last night when she noticed I was nodding off during the ski movie. Oops! And last but certainly not least, my little Danish sister, Josephine or Jose. She's 18 and finishing up her last year of high school. She'll graduate at the end of June and then wants to go on to law school. My room is perfect (Thanks Emma!) and their house is very charming.
Today I have to go to DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad) for an orientation-type meeting and then we're off to dinner at Sticks and Sushi. And don't worry, Lisbeth found a sports bar that will be playing the Vikings game so I won't miss a thing!
