I'm sorry I didn't write back after Halloween, but a lot of emotional stuff has been going on the last two weeks. Both good and bad. I don't want to write a lot about it on my blog, since it's private in many ways. A suicide happened two weeks ago which hit the whole school (Harwood and it's community) really bad. A tragic since he was only a freshman (probably 14 years old). I did not personally know this guy, but as Harwood and its community around it has taught me, you give respect.
Rest In Peace Jacob.
A week ago I finally turned 17! Not the most exciting age, but at least I’m one year closer to turning 18. My host mom surprised me big time with gifts all over the table and a real American cake, when I came home from theatre practice at 9:00 pm in the night. A pre-birthday table since I was at school the whole next day rehearsing for the fall play show the day after. I had a great first American birthday with cupcakes all over the place and people yelling happy birthday in the hallways. Great day! Oh yeah, and of course the Danish package from my parents filled with Danish treasures.
And then the fall play show happened! Sooo much fun and I’m so glad that I chose to go to the fall play audition a few months back on my 2nd day of High School (even thought I thought I was going to die). A bunch of other stuff has happened too, such as my first Danish dinner (made frikadeller and forgot 3-5 guests were vegetarians), getting ready for ski season etc. But now it’s times for some pictures!
