Monday and Tuesday
I had classes then came home to work on final projects and such.
Wednesday
I had a field study with my history of Copenhagen class. We went to look at new urban development projects in Orstad. We saw buildings that used to be industrial in nature that were turned into apartments, environmentally friendly apartments, and talked about why they work and why they don’t – like no shops in the immediate area, green areas but no places to sit, etc.
Then I grabbed a quick lunch and had the second half of the role playing game for Journalism and PR. We had to come up with a crisis communication plan, and potential news stories.
Thursday
Was my last day of holocaust and genocide class and my history class. It was sad to say goodbye to the instructors, but I am happy to not have to do so much work.
Friday
Was the last day of class and I had my last international advertising class. We took a quiz on Barbie. haha
Some questions included:
-In year 2000 what human characteristic did Barbie get? a belly button
-In 2000 what political office did Barbie run for? President of the USA
-What was Barbie’s horse’s name? Danser

-What airline did Barbie work for in the 1960s? American Airlines
-In 1998 Mattel made a 50th anniversary doll for America’s most spectated sport, which was? Nascar
After class Joy and I went to a store called Gina Tricot because they were having a great spring sale – clothes for 19 or 29 DKK (aka like $5 or $7). I ended up not buying anything, but I may just have to go back. ha. Lily, Joy and I then met for dinner at pizza place and headed to TIVOLI (the amusement park)!
After shoveling out $60 we rode lots of rides, walked around the lake, got ice-cream and enjoyed some of a Danish pop star’s concert. It was so much fun, other than the fact it was like 40 degrees and raining. We went on a ride like Small World at Disney but it scenes from H.C. Anderson fairytales, we also went on swings really high in the air, “the demon” which went upside down several times, and “the dragon” was the worst. The Dragon had you going up and down and around and around so many times, I almost felt sick.
Saturday
I woke up very early and went to LEGOLAND with DIS. It was almost a 4hr bus ride, and we arrived to another cold and rainy day. We entered the park in Mini land with miniature version of Copenhagen and other cities like in Norway, Sweden and Amsterdam. Then we walked around Pirate land, Legorodeo (wild west theme), and Adventure Land. Some highlights included: making up our own roller coaster on a computer and getting to ride it, eating cotton candy (aka candy floss) in the rain, baking bread over an open fire at the Indian teepee, seeing Mt. Rushmore out of legos.
I only have one week left here in CPH and its been such bad weather its making me ready to go home. It’s been back in the 40s and rainy/cloudy all this past week – I hope it goes back to spring like weather for my last few days.
I have exams on Tuesday and then still lots to do and see before I head home on Sunday.
