It's christmas season in Denmark!! Anyway, since my last post I have switched host families. I was rather nervous about it at first, but the whole ordeal was rather bittersweet. I left a good family, but I came to a good family as well. My new family is really awesome though :) I have also made Thanksgiving Dinner for all of my host families. That was an adventure. Not quite all of the food came out as expected, but it all tasted good. I was the only one who really liked the Pumpkin Pie, but oh well...more for me! :) Mostly, [View Full Entry]

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]

2 months I’ve officially been here for 8 weeks. And it’s still as crazy as it has been. Danish is getting better, but I still can’t understand a normal conversation. Nothing too exciting has happened since the last time you heard from me. I hurt my shoulder due to public transportation and a hockey bag, which isn’t even a cool reason; I have to call the doctors today to see what the results of my x-rays are, so I guess we will see. Which brings me to the point, of I’m not playing hockey anymore this year because my schedule is [View Full Entry]

The past few weeks have been very fun, and I am happy to say that I have done things that I would of probably not had the chance to do back home. About 9 weeks ago I had my language camp with all of the other exchange students it was a lot of fun. We took few day trips one of them was to Arhus and it was so much fun. we started out at a museum and were able to look around for 3 hrs, then we go out and walk around the city and I think this was the [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]

So one week ago us cool Copenhageners took off on a grass roots adventure in Western Denmark (the Danish equivalent of a New Yorker visiting Kentucky). Here we learned all about rural / less cosmopolitan Denmark and visited the second largest city of Århus (way cool). We started our adventure off at 8am Thurs morn...fine for everyone who lives five minutes from the center of town...torture for us who live a solid hour from school. C'est la vie. As a plus however, our tour group which was 18 people rather than most groups who were 40-50, we got the exclusive tour [View Full Entry]

Danmark is amazing! Unskyld for not writing in this before! I have been So busy! 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. I'll just mention the highlights :-) My host family is amazing! Min mor's navn er Louise og hun er 41 år gammel (my "mom" is 41 years old) og min far er 43 år gammel. Min lillebror er 11 år. I also have two host sisters. One is about my age and she is in Argentina [View Full Entry]

So I have been here for a month, and so far so good. Not much has changed, I still don’t know Danish, but I did go to camp, whish was pretty cool. It was a week long, and there were 150 exchange students there, from all over the world. It was pretty intense to experience like 10 different cultures, but also in like 100 different ways. Ever exchange student is so different and has such a different view on things. But basically were all the same because were going through the same things. I met some people ill probably be [View Full Entry]

Hej allesammen, Så er jeg på travelblog, og det bliver fremover herinde, jeg kommer til at skrive og ligge billeder ind, så i kan følge med i, hvad jeg laver. Jeg regner med at skrive på både dansk og engelsk, så i skal ikke blive forvirrede over, at der står det samme på engelsk under hvert indlæg, jeg laver. Jeg glæder mig enormt meget til turen og har uendeligt mange sommerfugle i maven. I går snakkede jeg med Jill(Min værtsmor) i telefonen, og jeg tror, hun er mindst lige så spændt som mig, så det skal nok blive fedt! Mange hilsner [View Full Entry]

So I have been here for 2 weeks. A little longer. And it’s still amazing and so surreal. I have experienced some home sickness and I do miss everyone so so much. But once school started it made everything so much easier. Life here is so easy. So normal, and I’m already a part of the family I’m with, who I have to leave in 2 weeks. But I’m up for the challenges that face me. So as for what’s been going on, the biggest would have to be that school started! I’m in second year which is WAY cool because [View Full Entry]
