Jeg Hedder Chelsea. Jeg kommer fra Minnesota.

So today was day one of orientation. They are definitely starting things slowly and there was a lot of down time but it was nice to meet other students. We started the day with an opening ceremony with a wind quintet and some speeches about what to expect and how to make the most of our experience here. Then we got a tour of DIS and all the facilities available to us. And lastly I had a crash course in Danish in which we learned some of the basic dialog phrases and the names of common foods. I have the same general schedule for the next two days, with various orientation classes and then my real classes start on Thursday!

Pictures from last night:

Josephine and me at Amager Strand, the beach that is very close to my house.
(It was a little windy...)

Anne, Lisbeth, Jan and myself at Sticks N Sushi for Dinner

Our dinner. Mmmm...

The bar that was showing the Vikings game. We ended up sitting in front of some Dallas fans but they were definitely outnumbered. There was even a man with a Vikings hat complete with horns and braids!
