The first set of exams were announced on Wednesday, written Danish (no thanks) and written English. Funny enough, I actually find the practise exams we have done really hard... They are very grammatically based,you have to find a mistake in the sentence, correct it, and explain the rule it correlates to. In spite of my strong linguistic grounding, I am completely dumbfounded when it comes to English grammar. There ARE no rules, because every rule has an exception...
The weather is possibly to blame. On Friday, we had four modules, which is like, a full on day. However, one of those was pe, and in Social Studies we went outside and played a Danish ball game, and then our teacher bought us ice cream. Then in Geography, we sat outside and "did a quiz" which no one really paid attention to, and ate brownies. Everyone gives you cake here. It's not good, but it is so good.
On Friday, we have a school tradition called Lunen, where everyone goes to a field 2 minutes away from the school with a massive boom box and even massiver boxes of beer and cider. Everyone lies in the sun, plays drinking games, etc. I haven't been yet, but I am hoping to go this Friday if the weather is nice :) Just one of those things you gotta do!
Because I have turned 18, I am now legally old enough to go to da clubs. So on Friday, I did!
Excuse the selfie. But it was really fun! No ankle rolling this time. We went to a club called Night Fever. It was hilarious, there were multicoloured light squares on the dance floor and a disco ball and all that classic 70's stuff. Definitely the right place to go if you wanna dance! There were, of course, some very strange people there, however that is always to be expected. There was one young man who joined in everyone's little dance circles and didn't seem so actually know anyone....Some people! I caught he train/biked home and was in bed by 3:30.... Helloooooo sleep in!
The following day, yesterday now was GLORIOUS. It was 25 degrees earlier on. We ate every single meal outside! Caroline and I went to the mall to return something she'd bought but regretted buying, and we were tempted to go shopping, but then decided it was pointless to be inside on a day like that, so we bought an ice cream and sat in the sun, then went home again. I went for a long walk in the late evening sunshine, and then came....
THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
DENMARK WON
YAY
And oh my lord Romania what were you thinking........
Ok I know they were thinking they wanted to lose because they don't want to host it next year but seriously? I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life.
The Eurovision song contest was started over 50 years ago to help patch things up in Europe after the war, and its still going! It was hosted in Sweden this year, in Malmo which is only 30-40 minutes away from here. I didn't go, by the way, I just watched it on TV. Next year, it will be hosted in Denmark! It sucks I wont be here for it, but I can be a part of it from the other side of the world anyway.
This week, I am going to the ballet! The tickets were from my host grandmother (Farmor), so on Tuesday, Caroline and I are off to the Royal Theatre with her. I am SO excited!! Asides from that, it is the last week of school before my three month summer holiday... I am also ff to France to visit my lovely sister because she is turning twenty the week after next!!! So exciting!!
It feels so good to have caught up. Wow.
