It has been a really long time since my last update. I have been so busy, and the days have rolled on by. It's been over two months in Denmark and it really doesn't feel that long at all. Two months down and ten to go.
The past two months have been nothing less than wonderful, crazily exciting, and yet relaxing at the same time. I have managed to spend a serious amount of money, and feel a bit hopeless as a poor exchange student already after only two months. Don't ask where the money went because I wouldn't know how to answer.
I do know, however, that it has been spent on good experiences. I also know that every experience has been better than before, and there is still so much coming my way. I have a year in this playground and I can't get over how fast it is going by.
I am really looking forward to the Euro Tour coming up in about a month, it is going to be so much fun; three weeks around Europe, that is.
Another thing I am really looking forward to is going to Northside Festival, a three day music festival in June. I bought my ticket and cannot wait to see so many of my favourite bands in one place over the three days.
In my first two months, I have learned how to get around on a bus and seen what Friday nights should look like. I am really enjoying the time with my host family and they really make my time here a good one. I feel so at home.
I got to see the Danish beach yesterday on a little adventure with my host mom and host brother to Løkken. The beaches here are really flat, with hardly any waves; different to SA. It was really peaceful, beautiful and freezing.
I have the next week off of school, and everybody loves a holiday!
Last Friday I went to watch the X Factor final live, and it was such a cool atmosphere and some really big artists were performing. It was a lot of fun.
The Friday before, was a party at my school. Two bands performed there and it was a really good time.
So, I hope it doesnt take an entire month for me to update my blog again. Until then-
xx

Overdue Update
So I missed posting an update last week due to a series of time-consuming events.
About the week before last: I started weekly Danish lessons on Wednesday, and so far they are going well.
Thursday was my birthday. I honestly don't think I could have felt more blessed.
I woke up to breakfast with my host family, and opened some presents from them. They got me a ticket to the X Factor Finale, which is really cool and I am looking so forward to that. Also, they got me a Danish flag on a flagpole with my name and birthday engraved on its base.
Then it was school, which turned out to be a lot of fun. I had a few free lessons and just got to mess around and chill. Everyone was also really nice, and I got quite a lot of Danish happy birthdays.
After school, I had to go straight to the Rotary House to help set up for the meeting that night, and was with two other girls who are going on exchange in the summer.
That night at the Rotary meeting, I had to give my presentation about myself, my country, etc. They all sang 'Happy Birthday' in Danish and there was a lot of cake! Then I said my presentation, starting in Danish, yeahhhh I tried. Then we auctioned all the prizes I had won from the Handball, and I ended up 4700kr (approx R7500) richer. And on top of that, all my host families for the year, got me a combined gift which was an acoustic guitar and that was really just the cherry on the top of my birthday. I was ecstatic.
Friday was my first school party, it was a Friday's cafe. It was a lot of fun, and quite hilarious considering everyone was dressed up.
On Saturday, my host family's entire family came over for lunch, and it was very 'hyggeligt'. The members of their family really spoilt me and I did really not expect to be so blessed. I got a number of gifts that I am so grateful for.
It was a really good weekend.
This past weekend was the Rotary Get2Gether with all of the exchange students in DK. Everyone arrived from different areas in DK and were very excited. It was so much fun to see the people you knew already and also to meet new people.
On Sunday, when I got back home, I learned that I had three days off of school.
I am super happy!
