Velkommen 2010! Godt nytår allesammen!

So today is the second day of the new year, and exactly 5 months and 1 day aniversery for my stay here in Denmark. And wow has it been an adventure.
As I'm looking back on the past 5 months I can already see a dramatic change in myself. Especially in my maturity, ability to deal with difficult situations, and in my understanding of the world. I also made a huge long list of things I need to acomplish by the end of the year, and I only have a few months to do it! I know that my time here is precious and I'm valuing every experience I'm getting. I love it here but I can tell the even when i go home in about 5 months I will have another adventure to begin, so therfore Denmark will never have ended for me, I will continue to grow from whats changed me here.

This new year will bring alot for me. I will be traveling to Barcelona in about 2 months, traveling Europe in about 4 months, and doing more sightseeing around Denmark. I will be taking the ACT test abroad and hopefully that will bring good results. My only hope is that I become the person I'm meant to become, and to live a life inspired and to do the best I can and achieve my aspirations. It will be hard, but what's hard is usually what is most rewarding in the end.

Happy New Year everyone, I hope and pray that 2010 will prove itself to be one of the best years.

Missing you all,
Megs
