What a month

Yea, yea, this has been updates so infrequently I can't talk about everything.
Recently visited copenhagen and watched the world championships for the Road Race and Time Trials, saw the Pro men for the Time trials and almost all of the road races. Found an awesome spot for the road race, about 200 meters from the finish for every race except the pro men, had a tv screen with commentary behind us.

In Copenhagen I visited the Icebar, very small with a friend I had met the night before in the hostel bar. We also went and visited a live Jazz bar right after. The room was filled with smoke but the music was spectacular.

The weather has turned around, my Garmin was reading 24 degrees centigrade today. Sunny, beautiful. I have a route right next to my house that is gravel and dirt roads so it allows for superb training as it is flat. There are tons of bends to the course that I get to take at high speeds and work on my cornering, I am turning into a nascar driver though, I can only turn left.

Classes have been a lot of fun too, wrote one paper about Arla, the milk company here in denmark and the challenges it faces marketing across foreign cultures. I have a class about globalization which almost always has a ridiculously good conversation. Material is easy but that allows for further exploration in class. Allows for a foreign view mostly on american policies as America has a huge role in the globalization of the world.

Otherwise I have the danish language course, don't like the teacher that much but I am determined to learn the language through practice and scrabble. I have an intro to Scandinavian culture which is hit and miss based on the teacher that are lecturing and the topics.

I will have two psychology courses that on memory and thinking come november/december.
