Today was the first day of orientation... it's the best way to feel like a Freshman again; except instead of going on a scavenger hunt around F&M's small campus I was on a scavenger hunt through all of Copenhagen.
The day started with the opening ceremony which was your typical boring speakers spouting every single cliche about growing and finding yourself... and then the scavenger hunt began. We had a ringer in our group who had already spent time at DIS so we finished 4 hours early and grabbed lunch and explored a bit. After the scavenger hunt we had an Immersion fair at which I got information about playing volleyball here and also joined the Hiking and Biking club (yay staying in shape)
The real adventure however was trying to find my way home. A seemingly simple task that was complicated by the fact that my Kollegium (where i live) is in the middle of nowhere and most trains skip the stop. After scouring through the transit book we figured it out. However some other people weren't so lucky on their first try.
Though finding my way home seemed like it would be the biggest challenge, it paled in comparison to shopping at the grocery store. Grocery shopping isn't as easy as it would seem when nothing is in English and milk is sold in ,5 , 1,5 , 3,5 and many other different types. I bought the basic staples however.. eggs, deli & bread, grapes, milk, toilet paper, and a bottle of wine.
That's all for now,
Lis
