The Longest Day of My Life (so far)

*** Warning this post has the potential to be rather long, feel free to skim it***

A quick overview of the trip (times are in Ohio time)
8:30AM Up and getting ready to head to the airport
10:30AM To Detroit!!
1:00PM Waiting in airport for my flight
2:30PM on plane to Dulles in D.C.
4:00PM speed walking from one gate to the next and getting directly in line to get on the plane
5:15PM flying to Copenhagen Denmark.
                      The seats weren't too bad but it was very warm the whole trip
6:30PM Dinner on the plane
                      It was actually very tasty and mini
9:30PM They turned the plane lights out
                      But i could not sleep
11:30PM Breakfast time on the plane
                      Again the food was good and mini
1:00AM We land!
1:15AM Speed walking through customs and to my gate, I waited about 10 min before boarding the next plane
2:30AM Off to Norway
3:30AM Land in Norway
                      I grabbed my luggage, exchanged some money, bought a train ticket and waited
6:05AM On to the train then bus then taxi then into my dorm!!

From here I am not sure about the times. I found my room and then a group of us international students went to the store. I had to buy and internet cable and then some food for tomorrow. I'm waiting to buy the rest until my roommate gets here so we can decide how we want to do things. Then back to the room to unpack, talk to Jae and my parents then sleep.

For now this is all... I met some awesome people that I will write about later, probably even later today.

3 Observations of Today

1. The landscape here is much like that of the hills of West Virginia, if you threw in a river every few miles
2. You never know a person until you see what is on there iPod
3. I was once told that Norwegians we not nice, this is not accurate. They are not intrusive like Americans who will talk to anyone about everything even if it is personal. The Norwegians have been more than nice and very helpful as I stumble around looking lost.
