A Beautiful Fall Day

If I'm the only one home/awake, Molly likes to cuddle in bed with me.

Yesterday I went to volleyball and the coach was sick so he didn't come.

Therefore, we just played a little, had some fun, then everyone left early and I was okay with that.

Today I woke up before my alarm went off, so I got to go back to sleep for a little bit!

It was cool out but it felt great biking, and the colors were really beautiful on my way to the train station.

When I got there, the sign at the train station said the train was coming in 6 minutes, and three minutes later, it said it was coming in 3 minutes. Then it stayed at 3 minutes for 15 minutes, then the sign said "Pas på" which google translate tells me means "Look out" and then a train went by without stopping. A little while later the sign said 3 minutes, and in 3 minutes the train came and stopped. Luckily I got an early start on the day and was at the train station early so I got to class on time anyway.

After class, I made copies of my residence letter and passport and went home. I had coffee with Bjarne who just woke up from his nap (because he works from 3am to 11am or so, and then naps until 3pm) and then Chloe, Bjarne, and I biked to Albertslund Center (by the train station) and were going to apply for our CPR numbers. 

The shopping area

Bjarne took us to the library because that's where he said the people that did CPR stuff were because the city is messed up and so we were there instead of the city hall. Anyway, the librarians didn't know what was going on so we called someone and she said we needed to make an appointment so we were on the phone for a while and now we can't apply until next Thursday even though DIS said we needed to do it within 5 days of receiving our letters.

The library

SO...

That was kind of a mess. I hope it all works out. They also want a proof of entry or something but we didn't get our passports stamped when we entered the country so we don't know what they want, and Bjarne doesn't know either.

Just outside the library

Down there is the city hall, close to the library

Then Chloe went to a study session in Copenhagen and Bjarne and I went shopping.

They buy special Chinese green tea from the Turkish market stall, and we also got some snacks. The Turkish place is cheaper for a lot of things because Bjarne says they probably don't pay the same tax/it might be black market stuff.

Then, I mentioned we were out of sandwich meat, so should we buy some? And Bjarne said, no, not at the Turkish mart. So we went to the butchers and got some yummy looking deli meats for my lunches! YAY!

We had beef burgers tonight, and I knew as I was walking down the stairs for dinner that it was going to be something delicious because it smelled amazing.

They had toppings all set out and we each had two burgers, and they toasted the buns and had lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, fried onions, red peppers, thousand-island burger sauce, ketchup, mustard, and WOW it was good and it tasted like home.

The Danes supposedly eat burgers with a knife and fork (the way they eat everything) and that's the way my host family eats pizza, but as I was preparing to cut up my burger to fit in, I notice they all had two hands on their burgers and we eating like Americans. So I ate like that too. I asked them why they don't eat burgers like Danes and they didn't seem to know that Danes ate burgers with knife and fork. But my Danish instructor said that's what we'd see if we went to a burger place.

My family is special :)

This weekend is the last weekend of Tivoli, so I'll probably try to go at least once. Haha. I haven't ridden any rides yet...
