Later in the afternoon, I met my European Business Strategy class for a different trip. This time, the professor actually showed up, and we went to Nordea Markets. At Nordea, we were given an introduction to the company and a project we will be working on throughout the entire semester. Tomorrow, I am off to a three day trip with my Business class to other parts of Denmark. Be back in a few days!
The Danish word "hygge" roughly translates to "cozy" in English. In Denmark, the cozy feelings of comfort and relaxation are felt throughout the whole country, especially in the dark months. This blog will lead you through my semester in the cozy city of Copenhagen and all of the culture, history, and fun Denmark has to offer.

Bad Day, Good Danish
This morning I woke up at 6:15am, which for those of you who know me well, is real early. I had to meet my criminology class at 7:15am for a field trip to a prison. I get on the bus at 7:15 and am greeted by my half asleep classmates. We sit on the bus listening to our iPod's and occasionally exchanging words for about 20 minutes until we realize our professor is missing. We all take turns calling her for the next hour, but nobody seems to be able to get through to her. So, at around 8:20am, we decide it is time to get off the bus and head back to bed. At around 10:00am, myself and two friends wake up and read an email from our professor apologizing for oversleeping. We are all outraged and decide we deserve a treat. We walk to this little bakery about two blocks from my house and eat one of the tastiest "Danishes" (they are not actually called this in Denmark), I have ever had.
