A week of fun at school... (Uge 27)

Hiiiiiii :D I must say, this week was one of the best weeks I've had so far and I don't even know why. I am soooo lucky to be in this class with those awesome people. They make my exchange year how I wanted it. 

On Monday we had 4 periods; Biotechnology, French, Math and Danish. Basically just a casual day at school! It started raining very hard on the way home so I was basically soaked when I came home! Monday evening I had gymnastics as usual and I had one of the best trainings ever! 

On Tuesday, my first period was cancelled, so I could sleep long! And I had only 3 periods; Biotechnology, Math and English. After school I went over to Sascha and Andreas' to hang out with Sascha and the kids (and eat cake)! Signe came a little later and we ate over there and then went to our crafty-course where I actually didn't do anything crafty... We basically just talked, ate cake and drank tea! 

My first period was cancelled on Wednesday as well, but we had 4 periods anyways; French, Physics, Math and English. In Math we had to work with online exercises and we weren't quite in the mood for it: 

After school it was snowing like craaaaaazy again, which was very nice :) 

The TV wasn't working so we decided to drive to Bilka and buy a converter so we could watch Netflix from my computer on the TV, but they didn't have the thingy we were looking for, soooo we ate in a burger restaurant in Bilka and then went back home and watched "Life as we know it" on my computer. 

On Thursday we had a day with 5 periods; French, Physics, Danish, History and Gym. In gym we're doing this thing where we, the students, have to organize the classes ourselves. Soooo we had a looooot of fun! It was hard though, sometimes! 

After school, Kristiane came over for a cup of coffee and when she left, Marianne and I tried to fix the TV since it was acting weird. We called client service about 4 times, this is how it went... 

1st time: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" 

-"Yes we did, multiple times, it's not working"

"Okay, take the power out of the box and we'll try restarting it from over here, should work again in 20 min"

*20 min later*: TV works for 30 sec and freezes again. 

2nd time: "How many cables are connected to your TV? Pull this one out, should work now"

- "okay"

*we pull out the cable he said we had to take out, doesn't make a difference*

*By this time, the man 'Kenneth' already knew us*

3rd time: "Go buy a new HDMI-cable"

*Drive to Bilka, buy a new HDMI-cable* *Talk about how we should invite Kenneth over for coffee*

*come home, change cable, TV works, remote all of a sudden doesn't work*

*changes batteries in remote, doesn't work either*

4th time: "Okay, have you changed batteries?"

- "yes we did, doesn't make a difference"

"type this and this and that and push 'okay', should work again"

*REMOTE WORKS AGAIN*

*invite Kenneth over for coffee and cake, but he couldn't make it*

WELL THAT WAS AN ADVENTURE, BUT EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN NOW! 

Friday was an exciting day at school, we had only 3 periods; physics, biotechnology and English. In physics, the teacher didn't show up so we had to work on our own. In biotechnology we dissected a heart and "played" with blood (=we centrifuged it). And I must say it was a lot of fun, haha! We all thought it was very funny how the bucket with blood says "ketchup". 

After English, we celebrated the opening of the new building, we got sandwiches and drank cider. Then a comedian (Uffe Holm) came and he was veeeery funny! I was very glad I could understand all of it! After that there was fredagscafé, where we drank beer and played games! 

Then I went home to drop off my bag and change and then I went over to Linnea's with some girls from my class to preparty and eat pizza. We were invited to Kathrine's 18th birthday in the Bowling center and I have to say, I've never had so much fun bowling. They did this thing where there were challenges (next one to have a strike, the one that dances the best on the bar, best twerking...) to win shots, and it was great. TAK GOHR!  

Today I cleaned up my room. :) 

I hope you all have had great weeks as well! 

Love love love, 

Justine

P.S.: I've not had time yet to edit a January video... I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to do one, since I haven't filmed that much. Otherwise you'll get a long one in February. 

 

IT IS SNOWING AGAIN! (Uge 26)

Hiiii there, another week has passed! 

On Monday we had 4 periods in school, but the first one was replaced with an IT-course to learn us more about Google Drive and things in Word. We all thought it was pretty funny, because it was mostly things we already knew. I got very excited when we got taught how to take a screenshot, because we obviously don't do that on a daily basis. We got our sweaters today for our trip to Iceland in March! 

Signe and I made dinner and we were very inventive, which means that we basically just threw everything together that we could find and it turned out pretty good! haha. 

I had gymnastics training in the evening and we're training very hard now to get everything ready for the shows! 

On Tuesday we had a day of physics, biotechnology, math and English. Since we're talking about Horror in English, we got the opportunity to write our own horror short story, which is very exciting because I love writing and I love horror ;) After school Kristiane, Karoline and I worked on our math assignment and went to town afterwards. On Tuesday evening we had our crafty-course, since there was handball and Denmark was playing we watched the game while drawing/doing homework/whatever we do. It was a lot of fun ;) 

On Wednesday we had a long day at school (5 periods). But it was a fun day. Did I ever tell you that I really enjoy school here? haha! Not only because it's "easy" because it isn't always, but the people are great and the teachers are great and the school is great. We had English again where we continued working on our horror stories. We also had physics where we're working with stuff that's actually kinda interesting. Well not interesting but it's fun to do. Wednesday evening we went to a restaurant where we all had Schnitzel and celebrated farfar's birthday. The whole family was there and we had a great time together. 

On Thursday the day went by fast at school even though we had 5 periods. Last period was idræt and we are doing this thing where the students from our class prepare the gymclasses, so we had time to prepare this. Not that we did much... We mostly listened to Hannah Montana songs.. Well yeah. Idræt has never been my best friend. 

On Friday we actually only had 3 periods because in the last period we had to decorate the tables for the 3th year's prom. We did have English on friday where I had to read the horror story Kristiane & I wrote out loud. If you're interested in the story that we wrote: here you go. The teacher was rather impressed by it but thought it was well-written! (My teacher's name is Thomas... hehe.) Friday evening Mette & Mathias came over and we played this game called "Alias" which is a game where there is words written on a card and you have to make the other people guess the word that is written on your card by explaining the word. (does that make sense? idk) I must say it was not easy but a lot of fun. 

On Saturday we woke up to a white Vejle! Signe got her hair and makeup done (for the prom she was invited to) by one of Mette's friends and we all were very impressed by it. After she was done and left for the prom, we went out for a walk in the snow! 

Saturday evening we went to our cousins' birthday party where we had a lot of fun as well! 

Today we didn't do much other than relax and eat cake at Andreas'. 

Oh btw; this is what happens when you're left alone in class because you're not done writing down the things written on the board: 

But besides that I'm enjoying my stay in snowy Denmark ;) 

Love, 

Justine

HAPPY NEW YEAR (I know I'm late) (Uge 23, 24 & 25)

Hiiiii everyone, FIRST OF ALL: I'm so so so so sorry for not updating for a few weeks! I was just having a great time ;) Since I obviously don't remember what I did every day I'll just summarize it a little!

Video of things I did in December:  

Week 23

Sooooo on Monday morning we all slept long and we went for coffee and cake when we finally woke up. 

On Tuesday morning veryyyy early I left for Copenhagen. After a loooong train trip I arrived in Copenhagen and then I had to find the way to Regitze's. Since I wanted to figure everything out on my own and I didn't want them to pick me up, I put myself to a challenge. My phone didn't have that much battery and I couldn't find the way out of the train station, hahaha. But no worries, eventually I found it and I made it! Not long after I arrived, Regitze and I left again for Copenhagen "city" where I joined her at a meeting and afterwards we went shopping! The day after was New Years Eve day, so we spent all day in pajama's and went over to Karina's (Regitze's best friend) for dinner and celebrate New Years. We had gourmet for dinner and we danced around the table to "Hey baby" (apparently it's their tradition and it's AWESOME, just saying). When it was almost 12 we stood up on chairs to literally jump into the new year! After midnight we went outside to the lake where there were fireworks. Oh fact, apparently everyone is allowed to do fireworks in their backyards, so there was literally fireworks ALL OVER THE PLACE. I wouldn't say I was scared, but it was a lot. We went to bed late, but the next day we were up early again to go on the New Years march! Yes yes, we woke up 'early' to go walking! 

On Friday I left again and in the weekend I prepared myself to go to school again!

Week 24

Aaaaaand we had to go to school again! I had a normal week of school with a lot of cancelled classes. I was glad school began again! :) I had a loooovely holiday but school is where all my friends are at! Haha! On Tuesday Kristiane and I went to Vejle and did some shopping, and I bought new shoeeees! And after that we sat at Baresso (coffee bar) for a looong while and we had a great, cosy time together! 

I think on Wednesday or Thursday Karoline, Katrine and I went to McDonalds after school to eat, hihi! 

The other exciting thing I did was on Saturday, where it was Silje's 2nd birthday and afterwards I had another Christmas dinner, but this time with my Gymnastics's team! I think that might have been the last Christmas food I'll be getting this year! We had a lot of fun. We ate traditional Danish Christmas food and we played games afterwards! 

Week 25

Okaaaaay so now we've come to this week again! 

Monday and Tuesday were normal days at school, where nothing special happened. On Monday evening I had Gymnastics training and on Tuesday we went to our knitting course again, which is not a knitting course anymore but more like a group-meeting thingy where we do crafty things! hahaha. Well, on Monday evening we also had a meeting with YFU where we went and drank hot chocolate with the people from my region!

Wednesday was a bit of a special day at school since we had 5 periods, but in third period this man Jan Hellesøe came to our school and he has a TV show where he hypnotizes people and does like crazy stuff. It's called "Fuck'r med din hjern", which literally means "Fucking with your brain" and that's exactly what he does! It was so much fun! 

On Wednesday evening, I went to Kolding to a YFU meeting. And this time it wasn't a meeting for the exchange students! But it was like an "official" meeting where the people go to that want to go on exchange next year! It was so exciting and I had a great time! As you all know I love talking, and I loved doing my presentation up there for all those parents and future exchange students!

Thursday after school Kristiane came around and we lit up the fireplace and watched TV together! 

Friday was a bit of a special day since we didn't have normal classes but we went to the hospital with our class and learned about radioactivity and cancer. It was very interesting! After that Karoline, Katrine and I went to McDonalds again and had to run back to school in the rain to make it on time! In the evening Mette came over and we all went to Andreas' to eat dinner.

Yesterday we went shopping with Marianne, Signe, Mette and Marianne's sister. Afterwards we had coffee over at hers. When we came back, I fell asleep on the couch while watching TV. In the evening that my aunt came over to us with her family and we all had dinner together. Afterwards we watched a movie all together! We also had a great laugh about random stuff! 

Today was a relax day! hihi

Okay, now I told you everything. But there is one more thing. I made pictures of all the lunches (most of them bought at school) I had this week and I thought I'd show you! 

Soooo this is what I ate: potato-leek soup with bacon, bread with sausage, remoulade and ristede løg, two times a salat from the salat bar and noodle soup! These are all typical things that you can buy at our school during lunch time. You can also buy like real meals, but I don't do that, only when it's something really good! 

I hope you enjoyed this catch-up! And I promise I'll write on time again from now on :) 

Loves, 

Justine
