A busy, busy week

This week has been extremely busy and exhausting. But in a good way. The International Office has kept all of us exchange students so preoccupied that there has been no time to get homesick. I want to upload this week's schedule to show you the things I've been up to, and I'll do it soon - right after my computer gets fixed. I have internet now and have borrowed a computer from UNI, but I'd like my own back nonetheless.

Due to the lack of photos and lack of time to write anything really descriptive, I'm going to list 5 facts I found funny/strange/frustrating about America and Americans:

• White bread: I've been here for a little over a week now, and I have yet to find any dark bread. I'm not talking brown bread (rugbroed), although I miss that a bit, but just regular dark bread. It's nowhere to be found! Apparently they only eat white bread.
• Appearence: As an International student walking around campus, you feel a bit out of place. It's not so much the language or demeanor as it is the way you dress and generally look like. The majority of students at UNI dress extremely casually. What I mean is that they wear sweats, t-shirts, flip-flops, etc. and preferably in purple and yellow (school colors). It doesn't matter if it's weekend, a school day, a party: they wear this combination of casual clothes everywhere. I feel overdressed everyday.
• School pride: Like I mentioned before the students here at UNI like to show off their school colors. In general they're very proud of their university and take every chance to express it. They decorate their rooms in school colors, put up posters, wear clothes with the university's name on it and so forth. There are even people getting married on campus! There was one couple who met on campus and became a couple before later marrying in the very university.
• The 'L' word: When speaking to Americans or listening to them speak, I sometimes feel as if I'm stuck in a bad episode of The Hills... (who am I kidding, they're all bad).. Americans use the word 'like' excessively. If there's room in a sentence for a 'like', they'll throw it in there just for the heck of it. It can be a bit infuriating since the word is only a filler and carries no meaning when they use it, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. 
• Athletes: At UNI you can spot right away who plays for an athletic team and who doesn't. The football guys all enter the cafeteria at the same time, stack up a bunch of food on a plate and drink a lot of pepsi/lemonade/you name it. They actually don't eat very healthy and you would think that they do since they're on a pretty tight work-out schedule. Their clothes distinguish them as well. The guys like to rip the sleeves of their shirts: I guess to show off their bodies.

Denne uge har vaeret ekstremt travl og udmattend, men bestemt paa en god maade. Det International Kontor har soerget for, at vi har vaeret saa travle, at vi ikke har haft tid til hjemve. Min computer er stadig ikke fixet. Naar den virker igen vil jeg begynde at uploade billeder samt denne uges tidsplan, saa I kan se, hvad jeg har lavet.
