Copenhagen is cold
Part 1:
Yay Copenhagen! It has been some crazy weather here, sunny one day, bone-chillingly cold the next. Sometimes rain shows its bitter drops ready to soak me to the bone. The one thing that is consistant in the weather is the wind, although the upredictability is also somewhat predictable. I have finally become accustumed to the buses and trains, or at least the buses and metro. I have yet to take a train since my last visit. As of yet there really hasn't been any need. The whole system is very simple in its enirety, the only problems arise with catching the buss on time. I unfortunatly miss it by just minutes and I am forced to sit and wait. But this has given me some extra time to absorb the massive amount of reading I have to do every night. So far it seems like I'm the only person who has had any experience with business courses. Even though there are several other business majors they never want to speak up or discuss any thing in class. Unforntunaly the answers to many questions are different or at least their context is different. It's very interesting to see the different direction that a European (Danish specifically) business mind looks at Porter's Five forces of Competition compared to that of a Professor in the US. Perceptions are drastically similar, but slightly offset. This knowledge only emphasizes what all my teachers back home have been saying about different cultures. You think you know the answer but then your own perception is turned on it's head. It can be frustrating but intreguing at the same time. I answer most questions correctly, but then again sometimes I just answer because no one else wants to raise their hand. Next week we will all be going on a study tour to Western Denmark to visit two companies Bang and Olfsen and Arla Foods. Two of the most well known Danish International Businesses. There we will have a chance to some of their executives and I look forward to it very much.

Incase you haven't seen it yet, please oh please watch Steven Colbert rip Bush a new asshole. It's fuckin hilarious. The administration was definatly put in its retarded place with this one:

Moving right along I still miss Tiff and I even have a wall for her :P Call it desperate, call it weird, call it what you will. I call it love.
So that's the wall of my Buttercup. And here are some pics of where I go to class. I will take some pictures inside next week after my study tour to Jutland (Western Denmark).
The bitch in pink is that ignorant skank I spoke of earlier. God I still get pissed when I think of her ignorance. Anyway, that's the entrance to DIS. Nothing special, it blends in rather well to the surrounding area.
This is the door inside. It's a motion sensor, sliding-glass door. Which seems a bit out of place attached to a building from before time (It's really old but I have no idea of the exact year/century when it was built).
Alright 'yall I have to pack. The next post will be wednesday night when I get back if I'm not to tired.
