Stuff.

Christmas has past and left me with lots of vacation to enjoy. There were a few too many family events that lasted for 8 hours at a time but I have survived.

A few days ago Jess came over to eat dinner and socialize. I'm living with the family that was her last host family, so it was funny that what used to be her room, her spot at the table, and her closet, is now mine. She gave presents all around and had me go with her to her first host families house across the street. She didn't want to go alone because she wanted to visit to be short. Bad things happened in her exchange while she lived in that house so she has bad feelings going back, even though she's become more friendly with the family. It was a fun night, but a bit sad because she is going back to Australia in about 10 days from now!

Yesterday was very fun. One of the many cousins on my host dad's side had a birthday party that the whole family was invited to. We went to Odense to the inside ice rink there. I hadn't skated for two or three years but it all came back to me quickly. I only fell down once when these obnoxious kids purposfully went in front of me, and later when I was really tired but trying to skate backwards anyway. It was an exausting but good day.
