So much has been going on! I'll just run through my journal and give the highlights :) Very recently after my last post, I had a week of Holiday. My host family too me to Hamburg and Amsterdam!! Amsterdam is probably one of the interesting and beautiful cities. There is so much to do! Yes including "Coffee Shops" and The Red Light District. Of which I did see. It was quite the cultural shock. The first day we were in Amsterdam we didn't do much sightseeing. We stuck to the shops and everyday non-tourist life. My host parents spend 2 years [View Full Entry]

Time for an update! It has been just one month since I've updated, yet it seems like it's been forever. Thus far I have just been living my life, ya know? I go to school, I hang out with my friends, and I try to live as much like a "normal dane" as I can. I've realized that in school every wednesday in my class is kagedag. aka: Cake Day! Every week somebody brings in cake. It's wonderful. Back in september, there was a man from Alabama/Canada here. 25 years ago when he lived in Alabama he was an exchange student [View Full Entry]

I never imagined that being an exchange student could be this time consuming :-P So anyway...I have already done so much, yet it feels like I just got here.

But everything is amazing. I had the national dish last night for dinner. It was absolutely delicious. it was sort of like fried meatballs. I don't start school until the 12th of August, but that is quite alright. On thursdday I will be moving into my first host family, and I am very excited for that. Everything for now is going quite smoothly and [View Full Entry]

My visa has arrived, my tickets are booked, and my countdown has started. About a year ago I set the wheels in motion so that I could be a Rotary International Exchange student. And now, I have 17 days remaining until I will board a plane (for the first time in my life!) and fly across the ocean to Hadsten, Denmark. I could not be more thankful to my sponsoring rotary club here in Wolcott, New York. They have given me the opportunity of a lifetime. It is because of them that I will be spending a year of my life [View Full Entry]
