A General Update

So its been quite awhile with quite a lot of things to update on. Last Friday was my 17th birthday and my only wish was that it be celebrated in a very "danish way". Haha it was was :)
I started the morning off with rolls, coffee, tea, and penut butter my host mom so graciously found awhile ago. I opened my gifts and everything I recieved was danish! I got a H.C Andersen fairytale collection, history of Denmark book (BOTH all in danish), scandanvian design candles, HC Andersen candle, gift card for jewerly, and a danish doll from my former host family. It was such a sweet morning. Then of course school, where I gave out flodeboller (spelt wrong due to lack of danish keys haha). And was sung the danish birthday song :)
Then in the evening, my host sister had some friends over and we got ready all together to go to the school's formal, aka the biggest party of the year. It was SO much fun and everyone was in such a good mood. We ate dinner in our class room with our teachers, had a nice meal, and then had awards etc. Following we danced the waltz and the lanciers. It was very enjoyable!
The rest of the evening resulted in jazz music, and hygge :)

The next day I celebrated with my host family and my close north american friends. They came over for layer cake and hot coca. Then after we vistited Tivoli to see all of the Christmas decorations and to take a side trip to talk to the Julemand about what we want for Christmas... haha in danish ;)

It was a really sweet birthday, filled with alot of hygge and alot of joy.

As of today, unfortuantly I've been sick THEE entire week. I've hardly left my bed. Haha, and I left the house once to the doctors office. Its such a miserable feeling only because you cand do anything, you dont feel like doing anything, and you literally cant. And the most unfortunate thing is when you feel so miserable you start to think the worst. I've thought so much just lying in bed. I think about missing home, and what the holidays are going to be like without me etc. etc. So thats been my state as of the past few days. Im staying positive because Im getting healthier but still... its been a bummer feeling so mierable after such a great weekend.

Anyways, I will get pictures up soon of Tivoli!


Peace && Love.
