Day 8 - Danish Culture and Sports

I slept in because we weren't meeting until lunch and had breakfast before biking to DTU again. This time I was glad it only took me thirty minutes. At the library I copied and printed my entire passport because as tedious as I thought it was the residence permit application stated very clearly I needed a copy of my entire passport. That took a while, but once I finished I had lunch at the Danish culture lecture with a few others from my group. Later there was an info session about courses offered at DTU to learn Danish. I had heard plans about football (not American football) and Frisbee in the afternoon so I joined that group. There weren't nearly as many people that wanted to play Frisbee as football, but there were still enough for two teams of four. Josh, one of the guys I met, was from Maryland and in a similar situation since he's here for just one semester and finishing his bachelor's degree. I enjoyed getting some physical activity and playing something I was familiar with. Some of us hung around for a while after we finished and I was recruited to be the official time keeper for the football games because they were having a tournament due to the number of different teams they had. Then I biked back to my apartment, but made one wrong turn because I hadn't actually taken that route back before (things look different when you are going in the opposite direction). After a dinner consisting of potatoes, carrots and eggs - what I had on hand - Dang introduced me to Rene, one of my other neighbors. I hadn't met Rene until now and realized why when he explained that he did all his cooking in his room. He even had a fridge! His room looked much more cozy than mine, but I had to remember he's been living here a lot longer too. Later I sorted through many of my pictures and decided it was time to go to bed.
