Yep =)

So I've been in Denmark for about 4 days, here's some things I REALLY love, and some things I really miss about the United States:

I love that/in Denmark...
-Has easy ways of getting around (bike, train, bus, walk, and of course car)
-Everyone is so generous when they hear your an exchange student
-You can leave your window open at night, wide open
-The area I'm in is very wooded, so walks are nice
-Shopping malls with everything imaginable is just around the corner
-Their food is really healthy
-Even the guys are fashionable
-People speak multiple languages, most speak about 3
-EVERYONE has an adorable bike, I enjoy using
-Teens have a bit more freedom
-Sweden is a bridge away, and Germany is 3 hrs away
-Everything is so old
-Some houses have straw roofs
-The feeling of "hyggeglit" is abundant no matter where you go =)


I miss that/in the United States:
-Going to Caribou Coffee and ordering a medium caramel highrise
-Everything is less expensive, like gas and clothes
-Not being so busy, and being able to relax
-My family
-My friends
-My grandparents' cabin
-Cuddling with my cat Little =(
-My home
-Whats familiar to me


So basically I love everything about Denmark, its just that I still miss alot of things about the United States, that you would expect, like my family and what is familiar to me.
I think it'll take sometime for me to get used to everything, but I'm surely learning what it means to be away from family. And sometimes its hard and sometimes its not.

As long as I stay off of skype video chat I don't feel the tears coming anymore. Email and instant chat are best for me at what stage I'm at.

The chart that Rotary shows you at the training sessions is EXACTLY where I'm at now. Im like at the top of the chart. Since everything is so new to me and since I'm trying to soak everything in, why wouldn't you expect me to be at that emotional high?

I have hope things will get better, and I know they will, I just need to learn and live the danish lifestyle and I believe soon, I will be a dane. Still an American of course, but with a little less German in me (hahaha I hope) =))

Vi ses mine venner, hej hej =)
