Spring Break in Washington


Finally. The week took forever to get through, but finally the Friday came, and I could leave school for the last time in a whole week. What a wonderful feeling.
I had a great lunch with my Tolo date right after school, whereupon I went back to my house, where I packed my stuff and got ready for moving back to my first host family. It was the plan from the beginning, and I was leaving for California with them the following morning.
I was very excited about getting away from the cold north, and closer to the sun! It just started snowing that day, which made it even worse.
I just want summer. Especially when I play soccer and HAVE to be outside at least two hours a day!
Well... I didn't stop snowing, and we had five inches at our house by the time we left this morning. Terrible, but nice since we weren't going to be there anyways.
We even had to put chains on our wheels not to slide down the hill!
It all worked out fine, and we arrived in the heat around 2pm today, whereupon we had lunch at Red Robin and went to the house, where we are staying the next week.
We are staying with Joel's parents. who have a w o n d e r f u l house down here. It is like being in paradise. Indiscribeable. Palm trees, pools, golf courses, and shops in the middle of a big dessert, which keeps it relative hot all year around. We have between 75-85 Fahrenheit every day!
It is perfect, and I am very excited about this week! :-)

Easter!


Easter. Finally Easter. Apparently we did not have the whole week up before Easter, as I was used to from back home. Whatever. Everyone loves school, so it is no big deal.
At least we had Friday off, and then a spring break in 6 days!
We are going to church tomorrow, and thereafter we are going to my host mom's parents house, where we are having an Easter lunch or something. I'm excited, especially for the Easter Bunny, who is bringing the children candy (yes, I am included)! A tradition I have not heard about before, but I like it as long as I get candy! hahaha
Well, it's so hard to write when you'd rather sleep, so this is only going to be a shoooooort post, and then you can imagine the rest yourself. I'll give you a hint: chocolate....

Oh.. and by the way!
I have watched Never Back Down three times this weekend. It is probably the most inspiring and exciting movie I have seen in a long time. The fighting scenes just give you a kick that makes you want to fight! Jake Tyler builds his way up and kick the "king's" ass, steals his girlfriend, and takes revenge from what he've done to him. I would highly recommend other people to go watch it as soon as they can!

Spring brake is coming up

Only 6 school days left before spring break begins.
I'm excited. Not just to get out of school, but more for leaving Washington State. Fortunately for something a little more sunny, and not as rainy and windy. It drives me crazy and makes me frustrated. Does it ever get better?
I hardly remember a soccer practice, where I haven't been freezing, just a little bit.
Anyways - I don't like to complain about something I love more than I hate, which I actually do! (believe it or not...)
I'm leaving Saturday as school gets out Friday. We are heading to Palm Springs, where Joel's parents have a house. Sun, swimming, golf, palm, sun, sun, and swimming for a week! I cannot waiit any longer!
I will have moved host family by that time, which I do not really know what to think about. Sometimes I want to stay, sometimes I want to move. I like both my host families, and I would never hurt their feelings, which I feel like I'm doing when I move. But on the other hand - it has been the plan from the beginning.
Well. I don't know. It's all going to be fine :-)

Day 1

First day with a blog.
I'm not quite sure about how a blog exactly works, but it seems like a very useful way to share pictures and stories with everyone else.

It is primary going to be used for my exchange year, which could fill out the entire cyberspace, if I had time to write that much.
Anyways, I have chosen to write it all in English, since it makes it a lot easier for everyone do read it (who the heck speaks danish besides me and a few other ?)

Take care out there!
