Hi, sorry I haven't posted in so long. Everyday is a busy day as an exchange student. I'm not sure why that is but I feel like exchange students are constantly feeling three things: hungry, tired, and confused. Even though those three feelings we are always having fun. My past two weeks have been a lot of fun. I was able to hang out with some exchange friends and some Danish classmates over the weekends and I had great times. Last weekend my host parents ended up spending a weekend in Rome due to my host Moms job and so I stayed with my host Grandparents, which was very nice actually! Usually older people don't speak good English in Denmark but for some reason my host Grandparents on my host Dad's side are very very good at it. We had traditional danish meals. They usually consist of a meat, potatoes, and some kind of veggie (carrots, tomatoes, or cucumbers are common). We also went to a Viking Museum in a town called Roskilde. It was very nice and super interesting. There were boat remains from ages ago that were actually used by the Vikings and a lot of cool life-sized models of boats that we got to check out. After the museum, we went to the most beautiful cathedral. It was up on top of a hill, but sadly they were having a service so we didn't get to see inside.
School has been a lot of fun. I am able to participate in most of my classes and a lot of my teachers give me specific assignments that focus on the US and Denmark, so that is very appreciated. I am looking forward to taking the class trip that I will take with my class in March! We will be going to Manchester, England. I think that will be a lot of fun. This weekend I also have plans to go enjoy a weekend with my host Mom on the opposite side of Denmark. We are going to Denmark's biggest island thats called Jutland. We will be visiting my host Grandmother on Friday and then spending Saturday and Sunday in a town called Aalborg shopping and seeing some of my host Mom's old friends. I think it will be a very good time and if I am lucky one of my exchange friends that lives near Aalborg will come and go shopping with us. I am definitely looking forward to the weekend. Today I will go to Language School in about 20 minutes and we will probably study vocabulary and grammar. I am learning some Danish definitely and at this point I can understand simple Danish. So at least that is a start. I am looking forward to everything that Denmark will bring me. I miss everyone back home, but I love my life here. Hope everyone is well. Knus (like hugs in Danish).
