A blog to let anyone be aware of what I'd might be doing in the states...

I have chosen to be an exchange student from Denmark to USA 2010/2011, and this blog is to let possible readers know what I've been up to during my stay in the states. I will try to update it as often as possible...

2nd semester

As we say goodbye to last semester, we say what uuuup to 2nd. My classes are as followed: French, Creative Writing and Poetry, Team Sports, Sociology, Practical Public Speaking, and U.S. History.

Good classes, nothing too challenging, but fun. I just finished my final exams for 1st semester, with all A's except French which turned out to be a B. (Ya I know Grandma you are not very proud of that, but there is a funny story behind it. Don't worry I know my stuff, haha). The new classes which I've had for, what is it now, 2 weeks? Yea almost.. They are a lot of fun. A bit harder and more demanding than my past classes, but I enjoy them. French is the same, the only thing I really get out of it, is some speaking experience and an improved vocabulary. Creative W n' P is something else. A class only for writing essays, poems, songs, figuratively whatever comes to mind. Team Sports, well uhm, there's a treasure. Pretty much only athletes takes this class, you have to have taken PE Foundations first to take it, but not if your name is Fes. (Yes I do still watch HIMYM and That 70' Show all the time.. For those of you who can't break the code for the abbreviation, it's a tv show I make references to and talk about a lot, Skipper know what I'm talking about). Anyways, the class is pretty much a class where you play a lot of different sports every day. We just had 10 days of floorball (hockey). And then you get a test about the sport. Everyone's very competitive, and even your least interesting sport, will be worth sharing blood to win. (ex. Basketball, I suck at it). Sociology, the study of human behavior as shaped by group life. Interesting, that's where your life experience can be used. Practical PS, simply a class where you do speeches, prepare them, sometimes improvise, for a certain category. I just did my first one, Informal Introduction Speech, and I killed it. Twisted the way of doing it a little, and it turned out well. Heck yeaa. I was questioning my ability to speak english right before I went up on the podium. I was afraid I was gonna turn over into danish. And last, and yes least, U.S. His. I didn't think it was possible to get a weirder teacher than Mr. Schmid, but yet again I was proven wrong. Mr. Nuckolls stepped in. He has his own way of doing things. Let me just put it that way. History is interesting enough, but just not rolling on floor laughing my *** off interesting. Idk, maybe it's because of all the homework. Well when has history ever been that interesting. It's important, and something you just need to know.

Besides all this, the time is flying by. we're already mid february, and I got my letter about my departure. The 28th of June. Yes, it IS weird thinking about going home. Wait no, I shouldn't even be thinking about this yet. There's still about 4 months left. You know what, I'm just gonna enjoy the time I have left, and suddenly wake up the day before I eave for the airport, and save the speculations and thoughts for then. The days are getting warmer, the snow is slowly melting, and Spring Break is around the corner. Can I keep up?

PS. I have realized something while being over here. I am not very good at taking pictures. Good thing I have such a good memory...................
