A wardrobe without shelves? Only in Copenhagen

Yesterday, I learned that my wardrobe will remain shelve-less for the remaining three months that I am in Copenhagen. For two months now, I have been patiently waiting for a way to neatly sort my clothes, emails back in forth with the Housing Department in regards to if I am supposed to have shelves and when I will finally receive them (after they told me they ordered them), and an always endless hunt for shirts, pants, and underwear in a disastrous mess.

I went into the Housing office yesterday to pick up my new laundry card and since I hadn't heard back via email about my shelves, I asked. To my chagrin, one of the employees told me that I would have to pay to get them. Are you serious?! I kindly declined and walked out disappointed, thinking about how I'm going to have to constantly reorganize the long "closet" since I'm always throwing clothes in there. It's so much work to have to fold and stack everyday (I know what you're thinking, Mom...sorry!)

Who would've known that you have to pay to put shelves in your wardrobe? Only in this city, where you have to pay for everything...and none of it is really cheap. I guess I'll just wait until I get home to a well-organized and clean closet/dresser where everything is organized. Thanks Mom!

In the meantime, I'll just keep throwing my clothes in the wardrboe with the hopes of finding it again one day...which may end up being the day I pack up to go back home.
