2 Months 2 Days

That's right people, 2 months and 2 days! I will be in Denmark in 2 months and 2 days! Try and wrap your head around that yall! Yes, I just said yall. Also, in exactly 2 days I will be turning 16. On June the 1st I will have completed another year of my life. Anywhoo, as I have not written in quite a while, I figured I should catch everyone up. Well.... I GOT AN EMAIL FROM MY HOST MOM!!!!! Her name is Bente and she sounds really, really nice. She has a 17 year old son, a 16 year old son, and a 14 year old daughter. I won't meet the 16 year old son because he will be on exchange in Brazil while i am their. But! I have siblings! also, I have a dog named Zojka, so that will be awesome. Anyways, not much else has happened. Agnete and I spent the night at jamie's, which was pretty amazing. We took about 45,068,506 pictures on her macbook. Im going to share them with you, too.

Kolding!


Forget about Faaborg. Just completely erase it from your memory.There is no Faaborg, there never was. The city I am going to be living in is Kolding!! Its on the peninnsula Jutland, and its about 55,000 people, and its B-E-A-UUUUUTIFUL! Its in the district 1460, and my school is Kolding Gymnasium! I also know my host father, but I cant remember how to spell his name. He has a son who is going to Brazil next year, but I don't know if he has other children (I hope he does).





In other news, Agnete moved in with me!!! She is an inbound from Denmark, and she's awesome. I can't wait to visit her in DK!

13 weeks and 2 days

Rotary Youth Exchange Kids are SWEEEEEET!

They are the peanut butter to my jelly, the film to my camera, the shake to my bake, the cocaine to my waffles. I've been spending a lot of time with them and they kick some serious ass. Parting from them is gonna be a dark day; but on the plus side, Jamie (going to Norway) is leaving the same day as me!!! And considering that we are both going to Scandinavia, we will probably be on the same plane!!!



Its been a long time since I wrote last, and I thought I would update the 1 devoted follower that I have. A few weeks ago everyone from the 6970 Rotary district went to Daytona for a 2-day conference. First, when we got their, we got the famous Rotary blazer! I was bombarding all the inbounds for pins (its my goal to have the most). Then, we had a parade of flags for all the Rotarians (they love to show us off). Afterwards all the inbounds and outbounds made their way to Relay For Life where we stayed the night. It started off a little slow (considering that everyone was tired and it was at least 90 degrees), but as it got later and cooler things started to get a lot more fun. Relay for Life was on the intercoastal, so a group of us went to the small dock that was their and set up camp (however, I ended up getting absolutly no sleep).




AAAAANNNDDDD TTTTHHHHEEEENNNN, last night, I went to World Of Nations in downtown Jax with everyone. Sadly, Denmark was not represented at the festival (in fact, they were void of all Scandinavian countries). However, there were a lot of awesome coutries and I was their with some awesome people, so it made up for it. BTW, Turkish food is incredible.
