And yet again, a week has passed! THIS IS GOING SO FAST!
On Sunday we had a meeting with all the YFU-students that live in Midt- and Sydjylland and it was AWESOME! We had a great time hanging out with each other, but we also had some sessions about how we are adjusting in Denmark and what we're doing and stuff. It was sooo nice to see a lot of people back and hearing about their stories and what they've experienced! I wish I took pictures, but I was so excited I kind of forgot... #Oops...
On Monday, I made my second math test and I think I'm quite okay! On the one I made last week I got a 10 (voor de Belgen: ik had 12/14, systeem van punten is hier anders) and on this weeks test I had a 10 again (18/20)! WOOPWOOP! I was very excited about this, becaaause the test was completely in Danish. They also use different methods here, to which I'm trying to adjust, so these tests were important to me to see if I actually got it. Also on Monday, I got my studentcard! (Excuse the dogpoo on my head...). Of course I also had gymnastics on Monday, which was a lot of fun, just like always!
On Tuesday we'd normally be off at 12.30 but since we have a math assignment we have to hand in on Sunday, we had a "questionhour" (spørgtime) afterwards. It's not obligatory, but I thought I'd stay to make the assignment and help my friends! After that hour I stayed a bit longer at school, because AC had to wait for her bus and she wasn't finished with the assignment, so I helped her a bit more. We also rehearsed the body parts in Danish AND we got complimented by 2 teachers passing by because of our way of communicating. They loved the fact that I was trying my best so hard to speak Danish and they loved the way AC helped me!
On Wednesday, we had a long day, with a lot of subjects where I do not understand a lot, sooo I basically made Danish exercises all day. Which I'm allowed to BTW! We also had idræt (L.O.) where we had to run around in the woods with a map, looking for posts and writing a code down and basically finding as much posts as possible. BASICALLY RUNNING AROUND. (I can't run.)
The fun thing about Wednesdays is that we always eat cake during Danish!
On Wednesday evening Marianne, Kim, Signe and I played Bezzerwizzer again. This time Signe and I formed a team and Kim and Marianne were a team... Soooo, we lost! :(
On Thursday I made some more Danish exercises during the classes and I found out that the website I'm using is actually really good! If you want to learn a foreign language, try www.duolingo.com! Thursday was a very fun day at school... I don't know why but I enjoyed it a lot! I also got a review on an English assignment I did a few weeks ago and I got a 12 with an arrow down! I'M DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL HERE!
On Friday guess what I did during the classes? YOU'RE RIGHT I MADE DANISH EXERCISES! Hihi! When I got home, the backpack I ordered had arrived! I was sooo excited! It's basically a grey backpack with ears, hahaha :D Friday evening we watched some TV together, in Danish of course! (Or in English, with Danish subtitles)
Today I cleaned up my room and I made some banana & oat cookies! Mmmmm... I'm about to leave for gymnastics, because we have an extra training this week! Tonight we also have a party with the gymnasts, so that's exciting and I'm looking forward to it!
I hope y'all had a great week and I wish the best of luck to all my Belgian friends who are starting university on Monday, YOU CAN DO IT!
Major loves,
Justine
P.S.: I'm planning on writing another blogpost tomorrow or on Monday about the things I've experienced so far about "how to learn a foreign language", so stay tuned!
This week was kind of a 'normal' school week. Although there were a lot of classes cancelled, so I was home a lot! Signe was not home, so I had time to be creative this week! Enjoy my art (haha)... 
On Tuesday I was off at 12.30, so I went home. There were a lot of things I had to do, so a made a little to-do-list and I did EVERYTHING on it! I was so proud of myself! It included things like doing laundry, cleaning up my room and all that kind of stuff. I did find out I'm very bad at doing the laundry... Some things shrunk and I had to ask Marianne whether my clothes could go in the tumble dryer or not... Oops... Most things survived though ;) Also on Tuesday I made a memory-bottle. Maybe some of you know, but in Belgium I had this jar where I put in little post-it's with exciting things that happened about my exchange. I couldn't bring the jar because it was too big and too heavy, so I made a new one. With the Cocio-bottle! I cleaned the bottle out, put some stickers on it and put some colorful in it! I think it looks pretty! ;)
On Wednesday... Euhm... Off at 12.30 I think... We played softball during idræt for the last time! My team lost... Oops! I can't really remember what I did when I came home... I think Wednesday was the day I skyped with Selma. She is from Germany and also in Denmark as an exchange student! It was nice to hear how she was doing! After that I was creative again. While watching some vlogs on YouTube, I decorated my headphones. This might sound weird to Belgians, but I've seen multiple people in Denmark doing it and I actually liked it a lot! So that's why I 'copied' them! On Wednesday Marianne and I made applecakes, mmmm!
When I came home, I was creative AGAIN! I had a lot of empty frames in my room, so I decided to print some pictures with my Belgian friends and place them in my room! I had a lot of fun making those! Let's say I was tired and went to bed. (tbh, I can't remember what else I did...)
Okay so last week I was about to leave for Juelsminde to our summerhouse, wasn't I? I can't really remember... So, on our way to Juelsminde we stopped in Horsens. And there was this medieval fair going on, which was CRAZY to see! All the people were dressed up and there were things going on everywhere! Then we drove up to our summerhouse where we had a very "hyggeligt" time. We watched some TV together, played games and had a good laugh about a lot of different things. On Sunday we mostly cleaned everything up again, made some homework in the summerhouse and then went for a little walk on the beach. Then we went back home and I watched The Fault in Our Stars. I've never ever ever cried that much just by watching a movie (except for Oscar et La Dame Rose and that one documentary that we once saw in 5th grade of high school...). 
Friday was a very exciting day since we went to PIKNIKPARTY! So after school, most of us dropped off their bags at home and then we all met up in byparken (the local city-park) where Piknikparty was happening. There were some concerts, the sun was shining and we all had a great time together. I also met up with some girls from my French class and they had a Dutch friend with them. And here are the language struggles again. If you're switching between English and Danish for the past 6 weeks it suddenly becomes veeeery difficult to speak your native language. It's not that I couldn't speak Dutch anymore, it was just veeery hard to switch and I had the feeling my sentences did not make sense at all... I could also see at the way he was looking at me that I was talking weird... Hahaha... Don't know what that's going to be after a year! Then I wanted to go back to my class and I couldn't find them anymore... So during the most exciting concert (CHRISTOPHER) I was standing alone, singing out loud... I eventually found them and we ate kebabpizza. Which is actually a weird thing, but very good? I don't really know... I like it, but it really tastes just like a durum, because it's like a pizza with tomato sauce and kebab but lettuce and dressing on it as well? But I had a great time, partying with these people is absolutely awesome!
