Benefits to being teacher's pet

Not all this post will pertain to being teacher's pet, but the most important part does, which is delicious cake. As I have said, I volunteered to be a class rep for my H.C. Anderson class, which is by far my favorite class, despite the downside of having to write papers. I also have developed a huge obsession with my teacher, Lisa Lotte, who does things like bring people gidebooks for trips they are taking and having people do papercuts. Major reason to be class rep, time to hang out with Lisa Lotte. Class rep involves getting feedback from the class and then telling the teacher what the concerns/comments of the class are. This took all of five minutes, but our meeting was over an hour. Although it was only 10am, we went to La Glace, this really historic bakery in København (I have to take advantage of typing on DIS danish keyboards) that it is likely that H.C. would have visited. We each were able to get a piece of cake and a drink, on the DIS tab, which is awesome because this place is super expensive. I got the Karen Blixen, a mocha cake (delicious) and hot chocolate (also delicious). We even got an extra pitcher (which never happens) of hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream. It was so good, like literally drinking melted chocolate. I obviously did not need to eat lunch that day.

Other recent events:

We made the required immature visit to the Museum of Erotica last Wednesday. My favorite part was the room where they talked about celebrities sex lives, I did not realize Charlie Chaplin was was such a ladies man. Worst part, the room where one creepy old man was just sitting by himself watching some of their videos. Afterwards, we went to St. Peter's bakery and got the legendary Wednesday snail, a huge cinnamon roll. It was as good as I had dreamed it would be.

I made it back to the Glyptotek and was able to see what I had missed. My favorite part of this visit was the Rodin area, where I recognized the Burghers of Calais from art history, which made me happy that I remembered something from freshman year.

Kelly has a friend visiting this week who we picked up from the airport since she had a field study. To make ourselves instantly recognizable, we dressed in all the Vanderbilt gear Kelly had since we did not make a sign. There is another Keops visiter this week. Best part, their names are Hamy and Cheese. We also have a girl in our keops named Sarah Bacon. There have been many Bacon, Ham, and Cheese jokes the past couple days.

Today is Monday, so it is burger night at Peders Oxe, which will be my dinner tonight. Keops Kooking Klub has given up on Monday nights since we all go there (except for the two poor vegetarians, sorry Lucy and Arpi!). Hopefully I will have another update soon.
