Hello! This is one of my last blog posts that I'll be writing.. :( Friday, May 17 I leave for Eurotour! I'll be gone for about 3 weeks, and when I get back I'll have less than a month left in Denmark. I'll certainly do a blog post about Eurotour- but then my time in Denmark will be just about finished..
This is the amazing Euro Tour I'll be embarking on with about 50 other crazy exchange students from around the world. It is 18 days long, and we're going to see some amazing things. We have a really fun and exciting agenda set up of tons of famous places, museums, and landmarks all across Europe. If you'd like to follow this trip while I'm on it, we have two bus counselors who will be updating a blog, while we our on tour. You can read it here:

Ok so the last three weeks have been pretty fun :) Time seems to be going much faster, and i've already been here 9 and a half months. What. Some fun and exciting things have happened recently! About once a week we have a school-wide meeting in the cafeteria area at school. They make announcements about coming up parties, events, and relevant information for the students. On April 29, me and the other exchange students got up on the stage and sang a song for our school. The song is by a band called Switchfoot, and it is called "This is Home." We said a little "thank you for hosting us" and then sung. We are by no means professional, but it was from the heart. I couldn't figure out how to post it in here, so I just put it on youtube :) Here's the video:
That evening we had a "Hygge" and food evening at our school. It was with all of the exchange students, our two counselors at school, our head master, and all of our host families. We all made some food from our home countries. It was really really fun. Cathryn made a slide show that reflected on our year, and the Brazilians attempted to teach us how to samba. It was a wonderful evening :) In fact I think that day was the best day of my exchange so far.

The next Friday we had our last school party. It's taken a while to get used to these, but I'm now able to enjoy them haha. I can still remember my shock when I walked into the first one. I guess cause in the states it's illegal, and they do it in the schools here haha. Anyways, it was super fun. The theme was World Tour and all the different classes got different countries to dress up as. My class got Austria. My second host brother was a ski guide in Austria, so luckily he had a lederhosen I could borrow. I went to my host sister's class' pre-party, and they're country was Somalia. They were dressed as pirates.

| This was at about 8.30 pm, and it was still light outside which felt kinda weird. it's light til about 9.30 now. It's crazy! |
After the party most people go down to the city which is like a 20 minute walk away, and they go to the clubs and bars there and have a good time. Everyone also goes to McDonalds which is open all night.
Another fun thing I've been doing is that I've introduced s'mores to the world outside of America. That was exciting haha. The only problem is that they don't have graham crackers, and marshmallows (even though the packaging is decorated with American flags) don't taste the same. Sooo we used digestive biscuits (which are also delicious and if you haven't tried them I suggest you go down to World Market right now and get some). We also didn't have a fire.. so we used the microwave hahah. So they were not real s'mores, but it was the best I could do :)
Last Thursday we didn't have any school, so my host family took me to the West Coast. We went to Esbjerg and Blåvand. In Esbjerg there is a large famous statue that is called Mennesket Ved Havet. The man by the sea. We went and saw that, took a walk on the beach, and then drove up to Blåvand, which translates to Blue Water. All up and down the West Coast there are large, thick cement bunkers from the Germans in WW2 that were made as a lookout. In Blåvand they made some art out of them. That was kinda fun to see.

A while back a photographer from school came in and took a bunch of pictures of us haha. Our school then made a video with those pictures. It gives us a really nice memory of our school and our time here. Today is my last day of school. It will be hard to leave, but I'll always have my memories ♥

I'm sorry there are so many links and videos today haha. I was also going to put the slide show from our year but I thought that could be over kill.. :) but ya this is a really really nice video where you can see our school and everything. So you should watch :)
Well I'm still having a blast and am still just always with friends and host families and I'm so happy. Genuinely happy. I'll be home the 26th of June. See you soon!
