Tuesday afternoon my friend
Camilla came over, and together we cooked food for 100 people, because on Thursday
night my host mum and a few others were making dinner for the church service in
the town. It was a really nice night and I enjoyed having a fun, easy
night.
The rest of the week flew
by, and before I knew it, it was Friday and I was leaving for the train to go
to Lalandia for the weekend. The Rotarians had planned a 'get2gether' for all
the exchange students in Denmark, newbies and oldies. There were about 200 of
us altogether and got to spend the weekend at a water theme park/activity
place. It is not like any of the parks in Australia so it is hard to explain,
but it was alot of fun and I loved meeting all the oldies and hearing all their
"wisdom" and stories!
After a full-on weekend of
not sleeping much, getting blisters on my feet from ice skating so much,
dropping a bowling ball on my foot and laughing so much my stomach hurt,
it was time for everyone to say goodbye and go home. But not for me. After the
get2gether my friend generously let me stay at her house in Copenhagen (tak sarah) until it
was time to meet my class at the Copenhagen Airport, to fly to England!
Last
week I spent the whole week in Manchester, England with my class from school
for study trip. Throughout the week we went to many different museums,
visited a High School, Old Trafford and shopping. Two girls had there birthday
in England and it was great to celebrate that with them and see what they do
for a birthday. During the week, I made it my own personal goal to talk to
everyone in the class and find out something about them. I found that after I
asked them about them, they thought I was interested in the Danish ways, and
they were easier to talk to and more open which was nice.
Once I
got back from England on Friday the 8th March, everything went back
to it’s normal, busy self. Now I have the major assignment I have to do as well
as do some presentations in other English classes about Australia. I have
already done one yesterday, and I think it went really well, as afterwards they
seemed interested and asked many questions.
Every week someone new from my Rotary club invites me to spend time with
them and usually to meet their family and last night I got invited to a
gentleman named Jørn’s house for dinner and then I went with his son who is 15
years old to his Scouts meeting. I had never been to a Scouts meeting before
this and I did not know what to expect, but it was great. They were studying
all about being healthy and one of the topics was about your muscles and so we
went as a group to this old ladies house, who specializes in therapy massages.
We got shown how to massage properly and then all received a massage, which was
well needed! It was lovely to meet his family and I cannot wait to meet more
people and see how they live.
