Leaving Tomorrow?

Today is the 25 of June. We are leaving on the 26 of June. The 26th is TOMORROW! At first I wasn't feeling all of the emotions including scared or worried for things that might go wrong, no at first I was the brave one. I encouraged my mom to do this and I was at everyone's side to comfort them. Now, since we are leaving TOMORROW,  the feelings are shooting at me like a nail gun to a wall.
I am currently feeling like the color brown. Why? (you may ask) Why would you be feeling like the color brown? Well, to answer your possible question I would ask you back: Well, do you know how the color brown is made? You might answer be like: Yes, yes I do. It is all of the colors (not including black or white because they are not colors) mixed together. Blue would be sad or scared. Red would be full of love and happiness. Yellow would be my excitement of getting this opportunity and taking it.

Summer Fun in San Diego

The past week, my aunt and I went on a road trip to visit my cousin in San Diego. We stayed in Katherine's (my cousin) apartment. We went to the zoo, got our nails done, celebrated my aunt's birthday a at fancy restaurant, played with Katherine's kitten, swam in her apartment's pool, saw fireworks at her school and went sightseeing.

Summer...

Tell me about your summer at the email imabunhead@icloud.com...

I saw this tile at MSped's house and I totally agree with it...

 

The translation is: Denmark is wonderful!

Response to Team Five Questions

Team Five, thank you for all of the questions. It makes me think of what's coming...

 

How are you preparing for the move? 

Currently, I am preparing for the move by packing up my room, working on my blog, trying mentally to take it all in, envisioning what it will be like to live in Denmark and be a Dane for a year.

 

What are you looking forward to?

I am excited and looking forward to it all. From seeing my family again to the chance to live in Denmark for a year while learning more about the other half of me.

 

What are you nervous about?

If you asked "what are you excited about" I would have the same answer. The answer would be: EVERYTHING. I usually go to Denmark in the summer only to visit my Danish family and be a "tourist". I don't know all Danish words, just enough for a short conversation. I am also nervous about getting new friends, going to a new school, and reading and writing in Danish (which there will be tests on).

 

What are you anticipating?

I am anticipating these things...

• I'll be homesick
• I'll miss my dad and American family
• I'll miss my friends
• I'll have a hard time at school
• I might be teased
• I'll ROCK in English class : )
• I'll have an emotional time
• It will turn out to be an amazing experience!
• I'll be eating a LOT of pastries and ice cream
• I'll be riding my bike everywhere
• I'll NEED to get winter clothes
• I'll get to know my Danish cousins really well
•  

Have you begun emailing family in Denmark?

I am sorry to say that I've not. My mom has been communicating by phone, though, because my grandmother doesn't have internet access. 

 

Are there relatives your age that you've begun chatting with?

No.

 

How are you packing?

Stella and I are sorting what clothes we want to bring and which ones we don't. My mom is packing down and cleaning out the attic. Later we will all pack up the suitcases with what we want to bring.
I am definitely binging my computer because it is my link to all of you and it is my "photo album".
 

Does your new school have a website?

Yes. Here's the link.

 

Can you get a Google Earth view of your new neighborhood?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a link to Google maps. Once you got there, type in Denmark or Lynge, Denmark and you'll see where I'll be living...

Last Day of School?!

I can't believe that school is over! I am SO sad to leave, but excited for summer...
For some reason, I don't feel ready for summer, the year seemed so short (probably because it was so fun).
On the last day of school we just hung out... We ate pizza, watched a movie, had long recesses, signed water bottles, paper, yearbooks, and shirts, we took pictures and looked at BOT. I will really miss all of my friends and do my best to say in touch! Here are some pictures of the awesome day...



Bye to My GROOVY Teacher!

Me and My BFFs!

The Countdown Began...

I can't believe there are only 4 1/2 days of school left!
This week my goal is to enjoy every moment of it... I'll really miss everyone a LOT, but I have planted in my mind that I'll be coming back. I sure hope my envision is correct...
