A quick hello.

Hello my loved ones, right now I am sitting in school. One might think it's odd that I'm on the computer but actually its very normal over here in Denmark. EVERYONE brings their computers to school and the teachers expect the students too and base some of the lessons around them. I would be paying attention but I am in the class that the school counselor told me "was pointless to take", I am in Danish, but as our english classes back home, they aren't learning basic Danish of course but analyzing complex text and things of the sort. This is all very difficult given that my Danish is still at a very low level. I am proud to say though that I am picking it up. My host family is really really great and we always practice and speak in Danish. I am picking up a lot of regular day phrases such as "How was your day?", "Good night", "Please pass the..", even if it is not much it's definitely stuff that I will need to know to because fluent in Danish like I hope. I have been having language school after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays too which is very fun. We have a big group of exchange students from the area all together in one class and we are always joking around and having a good time, while of course studying a ton of Danish. I will definitely try hard to know as much Danish as possible before I come home because it is really important to me that as well as completely giving myself to the Danish culture, I learn the language. I have been enjoying myself in Denmark a lot and I have more or less moved on from missing Intro-Camp and gotten used to the regular life in Hillerod again. I do miss my friends from camp a lot still though but we have been able to keep in touch and I even get to see some of them in Copenhagen this weekend. Well I should probably keep it short, so I hope to hear from all of you soon! Much love.

  1. Glad you are learning to speak the language. Must be so hard. We are looking forward to seeing your mom and dad on Sunday. They are in San Diego for your mom's cousin's wedding. Chad can't wait! He is the only one home since Zach is at school and Cameron went to Las Vegas with a group of friends that just turned 21. I DON"T want to know what they are doing, ha ha. Miss you and I look forward to seeing what your are up to in Denmark. Grammy got through her hip surgery and I think wants to skype with you if your dad can show her how. Love you lots! Aunt Cyndi
