Alyssa in Denmark

An update of my experiences as an exchange student from the U.S.A. to Denmark.

Monday, March 13, 2006

Monday 6th of March: Went to Rotary meeting at a local television station. Very boring. Of course. Maybe I would have had a better time if I could understand them better but I don't think so, since they were discussing money and employees or something.

Tuesday 7th: There was a musical called The Commitments put on by the Gymnasium. I knew quite a few people in it, and could understand the Danish. Very fun night!

Friday 10th: After school Mariliis, Penny and I went to the Chinese place I liked so much. Had a noodle lunch and talked a lot. Nice restaurant guys gave us free coke. We followed up our meal with a trip to the library, because Penny didn't know where it was. Inside Mariliis held a really long conversation in Danish with some random old guy. Her Danish is superb and makes me feel really inadequate since we've been in Denmark about the same amount of time.

Saturday I packed and packed to move host houses. That night I went over to a girl's house from school where eight other girls were also visiting for a movie and pizza night. Both Penny and Mariliis were also there. We ended up watching Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and a Danish horror movie called Midsommer.

When I went home on Sunday I finished cleaning and packing and after lunch moved to a new host family. I'm not sure what to call the family, since the dad's last name is Jensen and the wife's name is Jorgensen. Either way, the J family seems to be very nice. I new them for some time before I moved in with them so it wasn't as hard of a transition as my first move. My room is a lot smaller than mine at home, but I like it anyway
