Touristy

This past week has been full of orientation activities, classes, and a lot of failed attempts at public transportation. For everyone who knows my lack of timeliness, I arrived for the train 10 minutes early this morning. I sat there comfortably and waited for my 7:28 departure. At about 7:27, I noticed that most people were waiting on the other track, but my train said Copenhagen, so I wasn't too worried. I still decided to check and asked someone outside about the time for the trains. It turns out that I was sitting on the 7:55, and the 7:28 was leaving in 10ish seconds. I raced to the other side and got there just as the doors were closing. I yelled to the conductor and even banged my hands on the doors...to no avail. I made a stunning entrance to my first class of the semester, but now I know to stay on track 1!!! I'm also attaching some photos of my touristy day yesterday. We explored Copenhagen and spent a lot of time down by the canal and waterfront. Gorgeous! The Royal Palace is incredible, and the houses along the canal are as cute as all of those postcards claim. It was bitterly cold yesterday, but the lattes at each stop in our Amazing Race made up for loss of feeling in my extremities. We fit in some grocery shopping (unlike restaurant food in Copenhagen, groceries won't cost you too many kroners), stopped by the Trinity Church, and tried liver pate...not sure if I'll ever really crave it. On a random side note, if you ever need corduroy pants, don't come to Copenhagen. I wandered through the largest H&M I have ever seen and had no luck finding any. The word corduroy also doesn't translate to Danish, and it took a lot of gesturing and description to find the five pairs in the store. I guess they aren't as popular here/I am not trendy enough!
