So I completed my first week of school, a whole 2 days. What happened to the other three days in a normal school week? well monday I am lucky enough to not have class, as for thursday and friday I may or may not be skipping. YOLO (you only live once.) This weekend Sweden > school.
Things you should know about school here in Copenhagen.
1. Copenhagen Business School is like one of the best in Europe apparently. The thing is NOBODY in madison wanted to come here. 8:15 spots available were filled. OMG BARCA/LONDON/SEVILLA. (sorry had to. still love all my friends who went to those places cause there pictures make me envious of the great weather.) My friend from USC (I will quote her a lot) said that over 400 kids tried to come to this very business school and couldn't. Come on Madison folk live a little. It may be cold but it is legit a great city and unlike anything you will experience.
2. Classes are semi a joke. I walked into my Managerial Economics II class (sounds hard right?) and immediately felt like i knew it all. Supply and Demand, Marginal Utility, Opportunity Costs. All the ABC's of economics. In relation to Opportunity Cost my teacher told me that if the Opportunity Cost of drinking one night is greater than homework, than we must drink. I like him already!
3. The very same teacher gave us his cell phone number (GASP!) He joked at who would be the first to drunk dial him. ha!
4. A typical class is either 3 hours long or 6 hours. WTF. I have hard enough time in my 1hour 15 minute lectures back in madison. Worse than that my computer always dies. #firstworldpains. Also the schedule is constantly changing, never in the same room or same time....
5. The school looks like it was built out of an interior design magazine. Spiral staircases, beautiful wood, granite all around. Grainger looks like shit in comparison, (***grainger high school)
6. Teachers here do use fruit in there examples. Say you had one banana and a apple, and you add one more apple... Do they really teach this in education training classes??
7. Exams. ugh. This is makes up the entirety of our grade. Either one final paper, and oral exam (thank god my first tongue is english), or a 4 hour open note, anything you want to bring besides your mother (quote)
8. Lastly, the best part of class is the wireless. It allows me to WhatsApp all my frandzzzzz.
But tomorrow means Stockholm, Sweden where there will be a high of 18 degrees, falling ice chunks, and creepy hostels. In reality I am super excited. Its my first trip in Europe on my own. (I promise mom I will not hop in a fake taxi and get ripped off $80 for a ride {Rome trip 2006}) Looking forward to the awesome sights like a ship from the 1600's or the beautiful buildings, and of course the nightlife. EUROPE HAS SO MUCH WOMP. Happiest womper ever right here. I will find some good mixes to bring back to lake Wompsota and the Skoolz cabin ;)
BUT, even before that there is a Pub Crawl. The life I lead is just SO demanding. Pray that I wake up for my 8:35 am flight..........................
Cheers from Chels!
Hostels are great for young at heart travelers.
