Watch out Copenhagen, I have arrived

Well, I landed on last Sunday after about 14 hours of traveling. My plane was almost all DIS kids so I there were plenty of people to sit with during my 4 hour layover. However, I do have a grudge against the Newark airport now. 1. The airport was confusing and the employees were not helpful 2. It didn't have much to eat and the number 1 reason: they lost my bags. Luckily, my family made me pack an extra shirt, underwear, and toothbrush in my carry on. This made me much better off than some of the other lost baggage kids (there were at least 35 lost bags from my flight).

After we landed at 6:30 am (only 12:30, normal time) we had a lot of orientation and waiting around to do. I had immediately bonded with the other lost luggage people and we felt so smug, because we could skip all the luggage lines and didn't have to lug stuff around. We did not feel smug the next day, when instead of taking the provided bus right to our Kollegium, we instead had to drag our heavy bags around downtown until the train station, and then take the very crowded public bus.

Back to the first day, that night DIS provided our dinner. All the DIS (there are about 40) in my dorm gathered in our common kitchen and we had pizza and beer. It was very typical college. Dad will be proud, because I was one of the few that stayed up all the way to 10pm, to help with the jet lag. After Australia this was nothing.

I am going to post some pictures of my room, which happily now has stuff in it.
