So this past thurdays I said farewell to my oldie Megan. It was really sad. This makes the mid-point of my exchange. On the 23rd I will become an official oldie, because my newbie will arrive... right not I am an inbetweenie/only. This exchange is going so fast, and it seems like everyone else is starting to have problems, like this is the worst time in their exchange, and it is getting better and better for me. It is so hard to believe that I have been gone for 5 months. which leaves only 6 months here. Wow time flies when you are having fun.

Happy Happy Holidays
Mood:  happy
Wow... the holidays were crazy. Christmas was so different, yet so cool. We danced around the Christmas tree and sang danish christmas songs... ate more food then I ever want to eat again. Then New Years in Cph. That was the greatest. I was with like 30 exchange students... newbies and oldies. I didn't get back to the place I was staying until 8:30 am... then was up at like noon. I spent the whole day with like 15 brazilians... and just laughed and had a great time. All the memories are to much to type... but they will always be with me. All I have to say is Holly nice fall... it was very very graceful... and Linz and Lai and Nats thanks for everything. Oldies I am going to miss you so so so so so so much... good luck with everything.

Christmas
Mood:  happy
For Denmark Christmas is the day after tomorrow. In the states it is on Saturday. When I first came I figured that I would be homesick during Christmas, but I am not. Today though was fun. All we did was have coffee and bread in class, then we had an assembly. It was funny because Megan and Michelle sang a song to say good-bye... it was called exchange student blues. It was great. Then Carlos, Dane, and Rick came over and we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Wow that is a great movie, so so funny, no matter how many times you see it. But then tonight I went to Michelle's farewell party. The story with Michelle is basically her organization sucks and she ran out of money, so she is going home. She is from Pennsylvania, and there is a chance that we might live together next year. She has only been here for 5 months, but I think that it is better for her if she goes home. So my blog is super boring and I don't think that anyone even reads it, but if some one does leave a comment and if you have one, a great story. Most of my great stories noone that reads about them would understand them because you have to be there for them to be funny. But yeah.

Oh wonderful
Mood:  mischievious
Oh what a wonderful week. I was sick all weekend, yeah that sucked, oh and if the weekend wasn't bad enough it continued into the week. YEA!!!! Not. So monday I had to fulfill my exchange duties and speak at a boarding school with all the other exchange students. This one was kind of boring I thought, but it was still a reason to get out of school, even though I should have probably been home in bed. Then tuesday I was really sick when I woke up so I didn't go to school, but I have to pass my danish test so I went to language school. Once again probably not the smartest choice I have made. Then today, I was feeling better, I was going to go to school, so what happens my first class gets cancelled so I go back to bed, but I forget to reset my alarm, so I woke up an hour before the class ended. Since it is wednesday I only have 2 classes, so I just went in at 1:15 for the exchange student christmas party at my school, then I met up with another exchange student and a friend of his, who is really cool, and had pizza. But it stinks cause it is raining out. That is the one thing that is making me sad here is all it does is rain, never snow. I want to have a white christmas, but I know that I will probably have a gray and rainy christmas.

2 weeks till Christmas
Mood:  not sure
So this weekend I had my school's Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. I went to a pre party at one of my class mates house. That was a great time. Then we took a taxi to the school. Swan Lee(famous danish band) played ot the school. It was good, what I heard, I was talking, go figure. But then saturday stunk because I was really sick. So I just sat in the living room, watching TV and drinking tea. But I am feeling better today, still not 100% but close. 2 weeks till Christmas and I still have all my shopping to do...AAHHHHHH I have never waited this long. But I have faith in myself that I will get it done. I hope at least.

Oh happy day!!!

Ok. So this past Wednesday I moved to my new family. They are great. I have a host mom and dad and sister and brother. My host sister is a year younger than I am and my host brother is 14. They are great, I absolutely love them. Yesterday me along with like 10 other exchange students went to this boarding school and spoke. That was a lot of fun. Last night I went to a school party at the other school in Vejle. That was a blast. I had so much fun with the three Brazilians, Lai Mariana and Lydia. Also with Megan and Carlos (even though he was in mourning, but I won't go into that)But I had a great time. Then I am going out tonight because Laii is only in town till tomorrow so we are all going out to have a good time tonight. Then next Friday I have my class Christmas party followed by my school's Christmas party. So that will also be great. With Christmas here comes many many parties... Yea!!!

Ode to my first family
Mood:  a-ok
Happy Thanksgiving yesterday and Happy Great Shopping Day today... yes I am said because I am missing the biggest shopping day of the year today. But anyways. This is my last weekend with my first family. So you may ask, am I happy or sad that I am moving. The answer, I am really happy. So then you may ask, well did you like your first family? The answer, yes I did, but I feel that my time is up there and I feel my family distancing thenselves from me. They really were a great family, and I am happy that I got the chance to live with them, and I am greatful that they took me into their house. People are constantly asking me if it is weird to live with a different family. Yes it is, but it is also really cool to get to see how other people live from day to day. But something that we often don't think about is how weird it must be to have a stranger living in your house. I know from experience that it is very strange to have a person that isn't family living with you. The different things that they do that might get on your nerves that is normal to them. Also to watch how they attempt to adapt to your life style. It is easier for some then others. But now I have been on both sides, so that is really cool. I am planning on starting to pack tonight. I have a lot of crap to pack up, and limited space to put it in. But I will manage. One nice thing is that my second family lives really close to my first family, and when I say close I mean like a 1-2 minute bike ride. So that is nice, I can stop and visit whenever. But I am excited for this weekend, I am going to Germany. We are going to a Christmas market, then we are going to buy some cheap ?l and vine, then come home. So that will be fun. Yea!!!!!

Umm... Yeah

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One week and counting till I move to my second family. I am very excited. I do really like this family, it is just that sometimes our personalities and lifestyles don't match. I know that none of my families will be just like mine, but we clash in weird ways that I just can't explain. Also my host brother gets on my last. I don't know why, but he does, and I probably get on his, but oh well. I went to my first class of the week today, geagraphy, what a wonderful class. It is so boring. All my classes are, but geography is one of the worst. Then tomorrow, I have Danish, with Helle. She has to be one of the worst teachers in the world. Earlier this year the class wrote up a petition to try to get her removed, but it didn't work. Then last week in class, she came up to me and asked me if I had written the danish paper that everyone else did. I was like no. The woman never gave me the booklet to read that the paper was suppose to be on, she never told me that there was a paper to do, and she knows that I can't write in danish yet. The woman is a complete retard. But the other sad thing with tomorrow is that it is Thanksgiving in the States, and everyone is off school, and is going to be relaxing at home, and I am going to be in school. But I am going to make pumpkin pies for my class, give them a taste of Thanksgiving. I just hope that they like it.
