Today is Saturday 9th of August, which means that I'm officially 2 weeks in Denmark! Woopwoop!
Although it seems like I've been doing nothing all week, I did quite a lot... If that makes sense?
Last Sunday we went to see Annie Get Your Gun, the musical where Signe plays a part in. Before watching the musical Marianne, Kim and I ate chicken with fries on a blanket in the park! I must admit that the Danish fries aren't that bad! ;)
We then watched the musical. It was all in Danish, but I got a lot more than I thought I was going to get! (#proudofmyself)
On Monday Signe and I went to Vejle where I bought a whole bunch of stuff (and I spend A LOT of money, but that's what exchange is for). If you're interested in seeing what I bought, CLICK HERE .
It was a nice and warm day and the picture at the left side shows a street of the city which I love! They basically hung umbrella's in the sky and I just thought it looked so pretty, I had to take a picture!
Later that day we went to Åbenrå to get me registered. There was no queue at all, so everything went rather fast!
On Tuesday I didn't do much... Signe and I were basically just lazy girls, reading books, watching movies and series! Tuesday evening I went to visit the Jellingstone. It's basically the first Danish stone placed by Harold Blåtand. Jelling is a cute little town not to far away from Vejle!
On Wednesday, Signe and I woke up rather late and decided to skip breakfast but make pancakes for lunch/brunch! We made A LOT and ate them all in front of the TV while watching Desperate Housewives.
After eating pancakes and watching TV, we laid outside on a blanket reading our books. Since I finished The Fault in Our Stars, I've decided to start reading Danish books. Well, I'm trying to. I'm currently reading the first Harry Potter book, because I thought it would be rather easy since I know the story very well.
Also on Wednesday I found myself having a headache. And I know exactly how it comes. Former exchange students will agree with me, people who've never been on exchange, are going to have to accept this. Going to a country, where no one speaks your native language is exhausting. The main reason I came to Denmark was (and is) to learn Danish. And I didn't think that was going to be easy AT ALL. It just happens to be very tiring to listen to a language all day (Danish) that you do not understand, but you try your best to understand and speaking another language (English) to make yourself clear. And none of these two languages are my native language which is (yes, I'm repeating it again) VERY tiring and then you'll find yourself having a headache!
On Thursday, I was home alone for most of the day. I ate the leftovers from the pancakes, watched TV and walked the dog! After midday, I went to Vejle Kommune to fill in more papers to get my CPR-number. Somewhere next week I should have my CPR-number, which means I can then finally get a phone number, bankaccount etc! We stopped by the library as well, where I got some Danish books to read (don't worry, these aren't actually difficult books, but more like books for 2nd graders if you know what I mean ;) ).
On Friday, Signe and I decided to be lazy again. Laid on a blanket in the sun, read our books AND watched Frozen! It was veryyy hot outside and the sun shone all day! Friday evening Andreas, Mette and her boyfriend came over for dinner. Later that evening I wanted to go to bed early, but then SOMEONE (you know who you are!) decided to tell me about this movie she wants to watch. So, basically I didn't go to bed early. But found myself watching Black Swan in bed, alone. Haha!
On Saturday (today) it was raining all day, but we decided to go shopping again. We had a lovely day together and lunched in a very cute little restaurant!
As you can read, everything goes well here in Denmark and I wish the same for you!
Love,
Justine
PS: maybe is writing and posting on a Saturday better... Buh. We'll find out!
