TUESDAY JANUARY 23rd

Woke up a little before 7. Forgot to turn alarm off...oops…Ate cereal with milk, orange juice and tea for breakfast.
Took bus to DIS. No one talks on the bus and in general people speak much more softly in public than in the US. Survival Danish class from 9-12.
Jeg hedder Becca. Jeg kommer fra US. Jeg bor i Concord, MA. Jeg laeser psychology.
I’m called Becca. I come from the US. I live in Concord. I study psychology.

Jeg skal have den der. I want that one there. Vaersgo. Here you go. Tak. Thank you.
We got to try eating Danish pastry.

We walked around Copenhagen and she (the teacher) explained metro signs and signs in shop windows. We peeked in a meat shop, a fish shop, a place with smorrebrod (open face sandwhiches) in the window.

Ate lunch in the DIS main building with Elizabeth and Nancy. Rosemary roll with peanut butter and carrots.
In afternoon we had a bunch of somewhat boring but I suppose important orientation presentations about safety, optional study tours, the library, and Danish culture and manners.
After that we were taken to Carlsburg brewery for a tour. It was OK. Promotional video about the history of the company and then a speech read from the paper by one of the managers. There was a display of 6000 beer bottles I think all from different countries and with different labels. There was also an extensive visitor center with historical displays and information about how beer is made.
Had dinner there of a turkey sandwich that DIS provided. Met a really nice woman named Lindsey who is in the psychology and child development program also. Have also met Jamie and Emily who are PCD students and are equally nice. COULD have had beer (LOTS of free beer was available and many took advantage. I suppose when in rome do as the romans do but I didn’t really want to. They had bottled orange juice that I had.
Took the bus back home. Met Cecil a friend of Ida’s who lived in Denmark a while ago then in Canada and then in Paris.
I’ve talked with some guys also. It’s nice having them around for a change from Smith. One went to Concord Academy.
