End of 3-weeks course!










Lots of stuff to write about-- and just not quite enough time! These pictures are from my last day of my 3-weeks class at DTU. I finished the course with a grade on the European scale of a 10. The way the grades work here is the highest is a 12 and then 10, 7, 4, 2, 0 and -3 respectively. A 12 is actually a lot harder to achieve here in Europe, and unlike in the United States can be unachievable for certain people. A motto in the US is that everyone has equal opportunities to achieve the same outcomes-- where as here, not everyone is as smart as everyone else, and they have come to accept this, and that is just OK. Anyway, to celebrate I hung out with Danny in the S-huset. Huset means House. So, S-House, or student house, is where I played pool with Danny and his classmates. We had a few beers and talked and it was some good fun. Then later on that evening I went to Running sushi with Sabrina and Mathilde (where you can see me holding the Sake). Running Sushi is a place in Copenhagen where you pay 200 DKK, or around 40 dollars, and get all the sushi you can eat off the conveyor belt. Unfortunately, we didn't realize we needed a reservation because it was all booked by the time we got there. After we had loooooots of sushi we went back to Mathilde's place in Copenhagen, (pictures above), and we had some beers and nuts and played a game called partners. I've never played this game before, and I don't know if it's specifically Danish, or European but I don't think it's American. Anyway, unfortunately this was a week ago, and I can't remember as much because so much has gone on since then. I'm trying to catch up with everything now. Hopefully more to come very soon!

Cheers!
