February
Wow, I hadn't realized how long it had been since I posted. Sorry, though it doesn't really matter too much, since hardly anything has happened.
On the 8th of February (I think) Penny the new Australian exchange student called me up and we met in town to wander around and look at things and eat pastries. On the 9th I went to dinner at my first host family’s house. It's much nicer to eat over there now that they have a finished kitchen. When I moved out it was all construction.
The next week I had Tuesday and Wednesday off school, so I had my hair cut. I have no idea what Danish people do on Valentines Day. I don't think it's anything extravagant. Wednesday was Lotte's (my host mom) birthday. She had tons of people over all day from 10 am until late at night. Thursday I had English all day, made Lotte chocolate chip cookies as a birthday gift, and ate dinner at the Jenson's house. The Jensons are the family that I'm moving to in a few weeks. Friday I left school with Mariliis (Estonia) and went around town and the library.
This week I've had off for vacation. Sunday we left to Copenhagen by train where we stayed at Lotte's step mom’s house for a few nights. I was able to see a museum, something called the 'Experimentarium', and went shopping. Tuesday was our last day in Copenhagen so I met up with Pokchat, the exchange student from Thailand! We went on the walking street for four hours and managed to do almost no buying. Shopping at its best!
The rest of the vacation I didn't do very much. It was actually rather boring and homework filled, since I have to write a ten page report for history class that is due next week. I'm doing it on American Foreign Policy and finding it difficult. Highlight of those days was that I read Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen... Who'd have thought I'd voluntarily read a classic?
Today was first day back at school and nothing's happened.
It looks like I'm going to have to take ACTs while I'm over here. This requires me to have books shipped over and on June 10th I must travel to Hamburg Germany to take the test. I only get one chance! At least the studying will be something to do!
