Kickin' it in Værløse

So the last 2 days have been very relaxing and uneventful! Sunday I just kicked back in the house, did homework, ate/cooked lots o food, the usual! For lunch yesterday we made these cod egg things, and it was so gross, it looked like something out of fear factor! When they pulled them out of the fridge and told me to slice it up then brown it I was like, um, omg, it is someone's testicles, it was gross! The good news was it didn't really taste like anything so I could eat it without gagging (apparently it is a delicacy around here, ick!)

Today I didn't have class so I was able to sleep in, get ready at a leisurely pace, and then I went exploring the town I live in (Værløse). I am supposed to register with the "Kommune" which I guess is like the city hall so I had to bring a form signed by my host family and my passport and prove that I was living there and then I would be leaving. In return, I get my "CPR" card which acts as like a Social Security Card, a Library Card, and a card so I can get health insurance all in one! However, I went to the office DIS told me to go to and they are like "oh no, you need to go to this other place" which is frustrating because now I have to schlep to another town and take the train, then a bus, then walk to this other office where HOPEFULLY they can help me!

But, it wasn't all bad because after I went to the Kommune I explored my town and found a big outdoor shopping center, 2 pubs within a 15 minute walk to my house, lots of little restaurants/cafes, a library, a movie theater, and I bought a pack of Danish chewing gum to see what it tasted like (not as good as the American stuff, VERY strong flavor!).

This evening I had to go into Copenhagen for a "kaffe night" with my Danish class and professor. It was actually really nice because we sat and had dinner with my professor, plus all of my friends are in that class so it was a good ole' time. Best part: DIS picked up the check! Second best part: Danish marshmallows are delicious and taste like vanilla!

Tomorrow is lots of classes but then I'm going to a cafe with my friend Lauren and we are going to talk travel plans (yay!!!)

Food Log:

Breakfast: musseli and yogurt

Lunch: Fish balls (it is kind of like tuna, canned fish mixed with some seasoning, onions, etc. but then formed into balls and cooked on the stove. Eaten on an open-faced sandwich with this sauce that is kind of like honey mustard and dill mixed together. )

Dinner: THE best chicken sandwich of my life! I don't know what was on it, but it was clearly made by Jesus, I'm not even kidding! We also had varm chokolade (hot choc.) with marshmallows, sooooooooooooo good!!!!
