On Monday in between classes I went up to the library at DIS in search of a hole punch. I say search, because I have not been able to find one since coming to Denmark. I have checked numerous stores, different classrooms, and various places within DIS, yet no 3 punch. At the library I found a 4 punch, which used. Then I felt silly, because the binder I bought had two holes, but at least my papers were secure. Then I broke the binder. Not intentionally, but there is an odd system where you pull this odd lever thing to open up the binder--too complicated for me. I was in a hurry/didn't realize it was different. Seeing as it was the only binder I bought, at the only store I could find that sold binders, I asked the librarian where I could find another binder. I'm betting my frazzled expression made the nice man feel bad for me, because he gave me two binder free. I'm pretty excited. Now all my paperwork is nice and organized, my printed notes arranged chronologically inside them, and my desk is now clean.
My room is also clean. I did laundry today. I wasn't able to do laundry with my laundry card last week because it broke. It looks like a credit card, but does not function like one. I have no idea why it broke, nothing physically was damaged. I kept it in the pocket they gave me. When I went to the office to ask for help, the lady checked the card on a machine and said, 'sometimes this happens', and took my card for a week. It was in my mailbox yesterday, and it nows works fine; I have clean sheets and towels to prove it.
Last night I was at the gym late. I was procrastinating, got distracted, and before I knew it, it was 1030. So rushed to the gym, which officially closes at 1130. Yet, there is no monitor, and we all have keys so you can really stay as long as you wish. Well the last guy left at 1135, so I locked the door, and continued to do the rower. I locked the door because I'm paranoid and wanted to make sure I noticed if someone was coming in. Someone did come in, but I had to open the door for them. Then lights went out in the room. They guy was very freaked out by it and basically ran out. I finished my workout light by the hall lights (only 5 minutes more) and left, amused.
Tomorrow after my classes I'm meeting my danish networker, and possibly her friend, at the train station. We are going to cook dinner at the kollegium. It should be fun, though I'm thinking about what I should serve.
