School in Denmark

Hey guys, sorry it has taken my so long to write another post but I have been busy. In the past few days a lot of things have been happening. Two days ago I got to go and hang out with another exchange student from Oregon in Copenhagen. We walked around and got dinner and surprisingly we were fast friends, it seems like if you are going through the exact same thing you never run out of things to talk about. It was really nice getting to hang out with someone that was going through what I was going through. The next day was my first day of school, yesterday. I arrived at school and someone was there to take me to my class. I was put in the 2nd grade in the Gymnasium. The only have three grades all together and most of the people in my class are about my age. There is also another exchange student from USA in my class. It's been very nice to have her there because it we can figure things out together then. The class I'm in pretty much sticks together the whole day and we have block periods usually, about 2 hours of each subject. The school is very nice but it is hard to be inside all day especially when you can't understand anything the teacher is saying. I am trying to learn though. The kids in my class are fairly friendly.. some more then others but again that's when it is nice to have another exchange student in my class. Don't worry we are very social with the class when we are together, we don't just hang out alone. The first day was pretty good, but very overwhelming, and after words someone from my class invited us (me and the other exchange student Jessica) to go to the beach with them. We said yes and it was very fun but a very short trip. The second day of school, today, was a little more relaxed but still a little hard. I enjoyed myself though and I just got home from taking the train to my town after school. Tonight my host sister, who is going to Arizona on exchange on Monday, is throwing a goodbye party. Many neighbors will come and friends and family. I am excited about that, and I can't wait to meet every one. Well just a short update. Hope everyone is well.

  1. That must be challenging. I wonder if you are starting to hear a word now and then that you understand. So far, your blog entries have been awesome and I look forward to them. Like Aunt Cyndi said, you are really making it possible for us to feel like we are seeing what you are seeing. Keep it up.

    Love Dad

  2. You are an inspiration to me. You are doing something that I would never have considered at your age because it would have pushed me way too far out of my comfort zone. I am so proud of you and the experiences you are living will be with you forever!! Just know your family is behind you!

    Love, Aunt Cyndi
