Here we are agaaaaain, in the sixth week of my AMAZING exchange! Yet again, before I'm going to explain my exciting week, I would love to say that I love it here. All danes are so freaking kind and a lot of them are giving me compliments about my danish, which is awesome. Yesterday for example I bumped into someone I met in my very first week and she didn't recognize me, saying "wow, I didn't recognize you, you look so much like a dane now!" which obviously was the biggest compliment I have ever gotten in my entire life, because that's all I ever wanted...
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...). 
On Monday we just had a regular schoolday (it's actually funny that I'm already calling them 'regular schooldays' haha), although during lunchbreak we went to the Christian Meeting, which was... Interesting? It was difficult to understand what they were talking about, because it was all very deep and I'm not that into religion... When I came back home from school, Signe and I baked BANANKAGE MED CHOCOLADE. On Monday evening I had Gymnastics again. I really like it but I'm not sure if I want to keep doing it. I probably will, 'cuz ya know #yolo. This time I tried the tumbling part and I learned to do a roundoff and a summersault! #proudofmyself.
Tuesday was another 'regular' day at school. I was off at 13.55 but I stayed a bit longer to make an assignment with some other girls from my class. On Tuesday evening my contactpersons came over to our house to have a little talk, to check if everything was okay and so on. I think they saw that I am very happy and they were impressed about my Danish! My junior contactperson is Stine, she is such a sweet girl and I'm glad I can talk to her!
On Wednesday we had a long day again... Since we have 5th modul and we have idræt (L.O. voor de Belgen) it is a veeeery tiring day. After school, Kristiane and AC came by and we ate some BANANKAGE together and we had a good time! The fun thing about those two crazy girls is that on our way home they always teach me new words by pointing at the things and then making me repeat them a hundred times. Which is actually a very good way of learning new words! I'm very thankful to them for doing that! On Wednesday evening Line passed by and we played Sequence together (just for the record, Signe and I always win!).
On Thursday, I was veeery tired. I did find a mistake in the French textbook which I thought was very exciting, hihi! After school we made homework together with some of the other girls. Thursday evening wasn't that exciting. I watched Belgium-Australia and we obviously won (2-0).
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! 
On Saturday I slept quite long. When I eventually woke up and went downstairs they said that if I wanted it we could go to Legoland. Obviously I said YES! Going to Legoland was on my bucket list! And I can't even describe how freaking excited I was!! I was jumping around the house and I couldn't wait until we left. When we got there, it was like... I don't know, I can't really describe my feelings. They had like a mini-Europa thing, with everything build out of Lego and attractions as well and people walking around dressed up as Princesses and... SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS! There even was a Legostore (NO SHIT) and they had like millions of Legobricks that you could pick like you would fill a bag of candy? If that makes sense? And then afterwards you'd have to weigh the bag... Well, you get what I mean! I also bought a keychain with a golden brick on it and it says my name! We had some great family time but unfortunately it started raining really hard, like pouring so we had to go home.
It's currently very late and I really should go to bed now... Thanks for reading my blogpost, I hope you still enjoy reading them :) If you don't, then that's okay :)
I LOVE YOU ALL and lots of hugs and kisses,
Justine
