... and then the snow came!


Hey there!
November has not even arrived yet and still this thursday I experienced my first snow in the middle of a field hockey game (they won). I've seen snow before but still I was so excited to see it this early! So imagine how excited my Brazilian friend Henrique (who've never seen snow before) was. Flipping out in the middle of field hockey game SNOOOOOOOOW!!!! HAHA.

Halloween is sneaking up on everyone and tomorrow I will experience my first real Halloween - so get ready for a spooky post this week!


.... and here some pictures!











 

If I don't die tomorrow, I will post another one this week!

"How happy is the balmeless Vesta's lot!
The world forgetting by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resigned."

Some good stuff with a beautiful view.

Sitting in my room reflecting the last week. What a great week! Last weekend I went on my first trip out of the state to the state Maine with my whole XC (cross country) team. It was mainly for the meet happening the saturday, but we got to see a lot the friday before. It was such a good time and even though I'm not much of a runner I actually did a 5km in 20:51, which is beyond any of my expectations! (I almost didn't want to run, haha) So far I've gained 4 pounds so I guess I should be doing some running... Anyways the whole week after the meet I stayed at my Brazilian friend's family and went with my French teacher (my Brazilian friend's hostmom) to school everyday. Pretty awesome, haha. I really love their family and I had great time hanging out with my friend all week. Then the weekend came up and after having the most epic friday hanging out with friends, saturday came where I went to the holy restaurant - FLATBREAD (best pizza ever) - with all the exchange students. The best (I wanna swear here) pizza I've ever tasted! And the evening was even more perfect when we got served by our beloved Ashley (she was an exchange students in France last year) and later went to her house. Hot tub, enough said! Then sunday, early morning (11:00) our counsellor picked us up and we went for a hike in the beautiful Vermont Mountains, it was so pretty (PICTURES). Sorry guys, a looong text, but I've had the best week! Anyway here's some pictures!

O ya, and some girl made me an upside down pineapple cake this week.

Hi my fellow worshippers!

So the last few weeks has been busy and a lot of new stuff has happened. Where do I start? First off I've been changing courses on and off cause of the many opportunities in this school, it's pretty great. But as I said to become a senior I now have to take math and US history, fml... I'm really enjoying being in school now though, with me now getting to know a few, so I'm not all alone (yeah awkward moments a lunch the first few days...). O yeah and the weekends are pretty cool as well. I love the fact that you can drive at the age of 16 it's very useful in the weekends and also no school bus for me anymore! I Just joined the fall play the last week and met a lot of cool people, they're inviting me to a bunch of stuff, soo cool. And next week I'm going to the state Maine with my XC team, can't wait! Winter seems to be coming really fast here, leaves are turning colorful and the sweatshirt is getting ready to be put on (at least for the morning). I'm sorry I haven't had time to bring out the camera, so not a lot of pictures this time, but I'll upload some next week. I ALMOST FORGOT! First time ever to eat at KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). Great night with my hostmom and my Brazilian friend Henrique. I Ordered my first 2500 calories meal served with coke, yeah I probably should be doing more running lol. Anyways. Guys keep it real and don't do anything I wouldn't do! (as my Stories of hope -Rwanda genocide - teacher says)

PICTURE TIME! 

Homemade Danish layercake for Jordan's (friend from school) birhday.







Mkaaay.... BYE!

Første dag i den høje skole!

Hejhej venner

Efter at være spændt som et lille barn kom skolen endelig til mig. Jeg havde min første skole dag i onsdags og ja det var ligesom alle de film jeg har set, YES! Det er voldsomt og glæder mig til skole hver dag + jeg er hermed blevet opgraderet til senior! Skolen er dog lang og jeg er tvunget til lange klasser som US history og Math, ØV! Men du ved, det er High School og så kan det ikke blive mere nice. I dag har været ulykke dagen for Amerikanerne og det samme videoklip af de to tårne valgte at overtage alle kanalerne på tv'et, men det var alligevel en oplevelse i sig selv. Når ja, og så kom min værtsbror endelig hjem til mig. Eller... Han er taget af sted nu, men han var har lige et par dage og det var voldsomt fedt at være i selvskab med andre end den samme person hver dag (min værtsmor). Ellers er jeg fortsat i gang med at spise mig igennem USA og et par løbe ture eller to sker da også.. (eller hver dag hvis det var op til min værtsmor..) Føler lidt at teksten bliver trukket ud nu, så tror lige sætter et par billeder ind som kan fange opmærksomheden. Billeder siger jo mere end 1000 ord så i sidste ende har jeg nok skrevet et par stile ved at lægge dem her ind. Ok stopper nu. Kig nedenunder, tak!
