Day Six: Finally getting to sleep in

It's a sad state of being when instead of waking up at 9 being extremely early, waking up at 9 is  sleeping extremely late. Yet for me, waking up at 9 has never felt so great. 
Instead of having to scamper to the train in the dark with my eyes still sealed shut from my slumber, I woke up after the sun rose and didn't have to get to the train until 1:50.  My first class was canceled today, which made all of this possible.
My class today was Leadership Across Cultures, we already have a group assignment to do, and next Wednesday I have my first field study for the class.  Something interesting about DIS's program is that they believe you need to get out of the classroom in order to fully comprehend what you are studying.  So on Wednesday's no one has class, instead on some Wednesday's students have field studies.  This coming Wednesday my partner and I need to go to a Danske Bank and talk to their employee's about their CEO and compile a report on the CEO through this and other research.  Along with this theory that learning is accomplished outside the classroom comes two study tours.  We have a short study tour in which I'm venturing to Northern Germany as well as other parts of Denmark in order to learn about the border region.  My long study tour takes me to Belgium and Amsterdam ( I don't think there is actually a reason for us to be going to Amsterdam, but our professor really wants to take us there)

After class today I walked to a nearby gym and got a membership, and then I went to the grocery store to buy some groceries. We're having a group dinner. (I'm in charge of the salad, I told them that is about all I'm good for :) After dinner we're going back into the city to the Discotek near school which is giving out free drinks to DIS students from 8-11.  YAYY
