Shopping in Denmark = bad plan

Today I only had 1 class in the morning (8:30 in the morning that is!) but of course I, along with most DIS students, was late to class because with the snow the trains were running very infrequently and they were PACKED!! (*note "infrequently" here means every 20 min rather than every 5-10 min, yes, we are spoiled) Finally I made it to class, it was fun times, German history, blah blah blah. After class I began my errand bonanza which included unsuccessfully trying to get the rest of my textbooks that still haven't come in, traveling to the outer suburb of Farum to apply for my CPR card, and getting a refund on a trip to the Viking Ship museum that I signed up for before realizing I was going there with my Danish class.

After all of my errands I met up with 2 of my friends and we had an action-packed afternoon of pretending to shop. Problem: the SALE prices in Denmark are absolutely ridiculous (very very expensive). Meaning: normal prices = not a chance. Though I did not come to Denmark with grand plans of buying a whole new wardrobe, they do have pretty nice clothes so I wanted to get a few things, but everything is sooooooooo expensive! Second meaning: don't expect lots of expensive souvenirs!!!

After our shopping trip (I realize that last paragraph was a little negative, we did have a lot of fun and we each bought a shirt and we all split a bag of sugar-coated almonds which were worth the price of admission alone!) I made it back to the train ready to get home and relax a little when I realized that I wasn't wearing my scarf! I remembered taking it off in a dressing room and I thought I had shoved it into my backpack but I looked and I couldn't find it! I was very upset because I loved that scarf (xmas gift from maggie, just putting it out there) and I knew that if I had left it in a dressing room it would be gone by tomorrow. So, I got off the train, boarded the same train line going in the opposite direction back to Copenhagen so I could go find my scarf. But then, I was like "I really thought that I had put it in my bag" so I looked again and BAM there it was, magically in some hidden compartment I didn't even know about! So THEN I had to get off that train and board yet another train going back towards the direction of my house! Needless to say, it was a crazy train ride home, but now you all know the lengths I will go through to retrieve a scarf!

When I got home I got my relaxation time in and then I talked and helped Anne with dinner. I told her all about Death by Chocolate and she is very excited (though I think a little nervous) about it!

Tomorrow is class in the afternoon and then for dinner my friends and I are buying bread, cheese, fruit, chocolate, and lots of boxed wine (this wine is not Cakebread or anything but a lot of wine comes in boxes here so it doesn't have quite the connotation as in the US) and then going to 1 girl's dorm for dinner and then after we will hit the bars!

Food log:

Breakfast: I won't say what I had b/c mom seemed very upset about breakfast in the last post

Lunch: Ham with cheese spread, though I think it is butter, I don't know, it is very hard to tell...

Snack: sugar coated almonds, yum yum!!

Dinner: sunny side up eggs, fried potatoes mixed with pork, and an assortment of appetizers Anne brought home from a work party today. American representation amongst the appetizers: mini hot dogs wrapped in bacon, so good but soooo bad!
