Its officially been 1 month (or so) since I've arrived in Denmark. And its gone by SO amazingly fast! I'm enjoying every minute I have here, and Im definatly cherishing the time I have with everyone I'm meeting, because I realized I only have 11 more months left of it!
This week was my first week starting at Virum Gymnasium. Im in 2j, which is like a language line. So my classes conisist of english, danish, spanish, history, society, gym, ancient greek studies, religion, etc. So its a great relief not to have any math or science classes! And I found out that our class will be taking a study tour to Barcelona in March! Its so exciting! So I really am looking forward to that. Anyways, everyone in my class is so kind, and I can tell by the end of the year that I will have some good friends from my class. It was such a blessing to not have to worry on the first day whether or not I would be sitting alone in the back of the classroom. But that wasn't a worry at all.
In addition to school Im taking danish lessons 2 days a week in København. Its a nice break in the day, and I always look forward to seeing my exchange friends again. And of course work on my danish.
Other then that, my weekends are filled with fun things to do with my family and now some of my friends from school. So its nice not to have time to sit around and think.
I enjoy staying busy, so then I won't think about missing things at home too much.
Im very proud of myself for being able to handle alot of difficult situations on my own. Being and exchange student of course means facing alot of hard situtaions. I never thought I was capable of going through such issues and still coming out on top. I learn more about myself EVERY day I'm here. Sure I'm changing, but I think its a good change, I'm learning how to see the world from a different perspective then what I'm used to. Some days its easier then others but overall its worth it.
I'm looking forward to seeing how mature I will be by the end of this year, and how well I can speak danish ;)
Anyways, other then that, I had a good time at Intro. Camp. Unfortunatly I didnt learn alot in danish classes because we just worked on the basics, which is what district 1470 has done for the past 2 weeks. So I was kinda upset about that. But I met alot of great people, and I also realized how much Im in love with my host family. Haha I was pretty homesick for them the whole week at camp, and of course my host mom's amazing food.
But I got sick about a week ago at camp and it still hasn't gone away, so I'm drinking about two cups of tea a day and trying to get better so I wont miss anymore school!
Other then that, its going well here.
Today at 4 my family and I are leaving for the island Fanø in Denmark. I'm SOOO excited to just get away for a little while and have time to relax with my family. I will post some pictures on my blog when I get back. But google it, and you will see how beautiful it truly is.
Anways, I better get going.
Vi ses allesammen, hej hej!
