Among our many destinations were Christiansborg Slotsplads (Danish Parliament), Trinitatis Kirke (Trinity Church), Rosenberg Slot (the summer residence of King Christian IV), Amalienborg (the current royal palace), and Udenrigsministeriet (aka the State Department- try saying that one three times fast). Along the way we were able to come across the huge sand castle sculpture competition, random trampolines hidden in the ground along the waterfront (definitely a fun distraction), the beautiful section of Copenhagen called Nyhavn, among many other sites. This was a day to truly expand my appreciation of Copenhagen beyond the little section of the city all the DIS buildings are located in.

After the amazing race, I finally got to meet with my section for my program, Medical Practice and Policy. It was a huge meeting with all the sections, and then we broke into our respective sections and got to know each other on a more personal level. I am so excited to finally start classes tomorrow, but am definitely intimidated by the workload. Hopefully I will find a good balance between classes and travel/hanging out with friends and exploring the city.
We then went to the Activites/Immersion Fair where we learned about all these different ways to get involved in Copenhagen. Tomorrow is my first day of classes so it's off to bed for me!
Til imorgen!
