BETTY*S B-DAY

Dansk: Igår var det min søde lillesøster Betty's fødselsdag, og det har været en super god dag med hende i centrum. Desværre var jeg der ikke ved morgenbordet da jeg allerede skal hjemmefra 06.30 for at nå i skole, men jeg fejrede det nu alligevel med en donut til morgenmad. Efter skole tod jeg hjem og bagte dansk lagkage til hende, for det har de ikke rigtig herovre. Heldigvis blev hun glad for det, og jeg ønsker hende et fantastisk år som 12-årig for hun er fantastisk! Kys herfra.

English: Yesterday my sweet younger sister Betty turned 12, and it has been an incredible day. I did unfortunately have to leave the house at 6.30 before she got up, to go to school, but I celebrated although still at the morning table with a very good donut.

After school I went home to bake a danish birthday pie for her cause they don't really have that over here. Luckily she liked my cake, and I wish her an amazing next year as 12-year old, cause she is fantastic! Kisses from here.

A BUSY WEEKEND

Dansk: Nu har jeg været her i lidt over 2 uger, og jeg begynder at være faldet godt til. Denne weekend har været så travl, men det har jeg ikke noget imod, for jeg vil jo gerne nå at opleve det hele!

Lørdag var jeg til noget orientering med nogen andre udvekslingsstudenter, og det var super hyggeligt. Jeg var hjemme igen ved 5-tiden, og allerede en time efter skulle jeg ud til min første football-game! Det var så vildt, og man kunne virkelig mærke den schoolspirit alle snakker om.

Søndag tog vi i kirke, hvilket vi gør hver søndag, og det er altid super hyggeligt. Vi spiser morgenmad og snakker med nogen forskellige mennesker, og så varer selve tjenesten heldigvis ikke så lang tid, og det er egentlig meget interessant. Efter kirke har min familie en tradition med at tage ud og spise frokost, og det er så hyggeligt. Denne søndag er dog lidt speciel, for vi skulle ud og plukke æbler. Vi købte frokost hos Subway så vi kunne tage det med ud og plukke æbler, og så holdt vi en lille picnic ude i æbleland. Kys herfra.

English: I've now been here for 2 weeks, and i am starting to get used to everything. This weekend has been so busy, but that is okay, because I want to experience as much as I can while I'm here.

Saturday I went to some orientation with a bunch of other exchange students and it was so cosy. I came home around 5, and then an hour later straight ahead to my very first football-game! It was soooo wild, and I could really feel that school spirit everyone talks about.


Sunday we went to church (we do that every sunday, and it is actually pretty cool. We eat breakfast and talks to some different people and the service does not take that long, and it is actually pretty interesting. After church we went to apple stibling which is a family-tradition to do every year, and we brought some lunch and had the best little picnic in the middle of apple land. Kisses from here.

FIRST WEEK AT HIGHSCHOOL

Dansk: Den første uge på Highschool (tirsdag-fredag) er nu ovre. Tirsdag morgen startede skolen, og dermed mit eventyr "for real". Allerede ved første skridt kunne jeg mærke at det ville blive en overvældende oplevelse, og jeg havde ret. Jeg for vild konstant, men heldigvis var der altid nogen til at vise mig vej så jeg nåede alle mine timer. Spisekrikvarteret er PRÆCIS som på film. Maden er ikke særlig lækker, og alle sidder i deres sædvanlige gruppe og snakker. Selv skolebusserne er som på film. De holder i en lang række efter skole, og så er det bare at prøve at finde den rigtige, for den venter ikke! Alt i alt er det ret lig det man ser på film, og helt fantastisk! Kys herfra.

English: The first week on Highschool (Tuesday-Friday) is now over. The School started on tuesday and with that my adventure (for real). Already by the first step I made into the school I could feel that it was going to be an  overwhelming experience, and I was right. I couldn't find my way between the classes at all, but luckily there was always someone ready to help me find my way. Lunch is absolutely as in movies! The food is not good at all, and everyone sits in the same small groups as usual. Even the School buses is like in movies. They park in a row and then you have to find your bus but if you don't make it you have to walk home - they do not wait! all in all is it pretty equal what you see in movies, and it is amazing!

NEW YORK CITY #2

Dansk: Nu har jeg været hos min helt fantastiske værtsfamilie i 3 dage, og har først nu fået tid til at klippe en lille video af New York sammen. Ikke fordi jeg skal klage over ikke at have haft tid, jeg har bare haft det så skønt at jeg har glemt det. Men nu er den klar, og jeg håber i kan lide den selvom den er en smule rystet. Imorgen starter jeg skole, og i skal nok få en opdatering omkring skolen herovre i løbet af ugen også. kys herfra

English: I have now been staying at my amazing hostfamily for 3 days, and simply not had time to make a movie of the Softlanding camp NYC before now. Not that I'm complaining about not having time, I've just had such a great time here, that i forgot to do it. But now it's ready and I hope you like it, even though it's a little bumpy. Tomorrow i start school, and of course you'll get an update one of the upcoming days. Kisses from here
