MIB is what I will be!

I just called CBS (Copenhagen Business School) to check up on my application for graduate school, and they informed me that I have been accepted in to the MIB program with official title being: MSc (cand.merc.) in Management of Innovation and Business Development

It will take two years to earn the degree and it will be a lot harder than my undergraduate program. I am looking very much forward to it, and hopefully it will work out so that I study the first two semesters in Copenhagen, the third semester in America, and the fourth will be used to write my Master thesis in Copenhagen or somewhere else.

Those of you who thought that I would be MIB – Men in Black, well, you are also right, as I will have soon to get a net suit!

Take care and enjoy the summer.

Backstage with Jason Mraz and Carlos Sosa

Christel and I went to Lille Vega to hear Jason Mraz (http://www.jasonmraz.com/) and Groovelinehors (http://groovelinehorns.com/) play. It was an amazing concert; the atmosphere was great and the music perfect. I only recently got to know Mraz music, but what Christel told me was that his concerts are suppose to be fantastic – I can only agree. His songs we of course love, but it was his energy on the stage, the improvised small songs, the several solos from the band, and the crowd that loved the music, which all together made it perfect.

Here is a picture of Christel and me in front of the stage, might be hard to see, but there is only two rows of people in front of us, sweet.
Here are some photos of the concert in random order.
After the concert Christel and I got to talk to Carlos from the band, a really cool guy, who invited us backstage. It was a small cosy party with a nice relaxed atmosphere; we talk to most of the band and Jason. We both got our picture with Jason, whom was really cool about having us joining the party. Christel was very amazed when Jason came and said goodbye and remembered our names, so was I, but maybe not as much, since Jason seemed to me to be a really good guy with an incredible amount of creative skills.
We talked a lot with Carlos about almost everything from politics to his career. Carlos was really cool guy and introduced us to the rest of the band, I unfortunately did not get a picture with him, but maybe he will email me the one that he took.

Thank you Jason and Carlos for a great Wednesday night - See you in September, have fun on your tour.

My mother received an honor medal from the Queen of Denmark

My mother has recently just retired after working for SAS in 44 years. SAS had therefore nominated her to the highest honor medal that can be given to civilians due to faithful and loyal commitment to the company.

It is a custom that a recipient visits the Queen to show his or her gratitude and respect. My mother was therefore at Christian Borg yesterday to do that.

Before the Queen arrived the soldiers were securing the premises and looking mighty fine.

Here comes Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, in her Bently of course – no real horses today.

My mother in the white shirt is waiting to meet the Queen, next to her is her former colleague Annette, whom also received the Honor Medal.

Finally, after waiting for three hours to talk with Queen in 1 minute, my mother has now officially done her duty, and can now relax and enjoy her retirement.

We made it to the final – Flagfootball

Last weekend was the end of the Danish Cup for flag football. There are three divisions in Danish flag football, with my team the Kopenhagen Koalas, being in the second best division, but in the cup, teams from all divisions are invited.
In the quarter finals we beat a team from the best division and made it to the final four. In the semi-final we were once against up against a team from the best division, but a much better team. We were able to beat them and made it to the final.

In the final we did not have a chance. We were too tired and the other team was simple too good. They especially had one player, Rune, who was outstanding, and he naturally got the MPV award, which he deserved.

Below is a picture of most of our team, and tomorrow I will be back on the training pitch to get ready for next game day.

The picture below is of our QB, Nikolaj, and I. Nikolaj used to be a receiver, but with the loss of our former quarterback, he has stepped in and turned out to be an excellent replacement, with Joe Montana skills to read the defence, and throws me a perfect ball when doing a corner route.

I am done!!

Monday I finished my undergraduate program with the oral defense of my bachelor thesis. It went really well, it actually went perfect; both Christel and I got 12, which is the highest grade possible in Denmark. When our professor told us our grade we were so happy. We have been working really hard on this project, so it was such a relief that it was worth it all. My good friend Christian and his partner also wrote about Tivoli as we did, and they also got 12, congratulation Sofie and Christian.

This means that I am done with school until the end of August where my graduate program starts; I will therefore hopefully be able to write even more on the blog during the summer.

Take care everyone.
