Week 2!!!

I can't believe that I survived this long... JK! I love it here... I don't feel much like a middle schooler but more like a 6th grader. I actually don't really even think about my grade at all!

Monday:
I went to school and had 4 hours of language. Danish isn't too hard and English is a breeze! We don't really learn about the colors and body parts like we did in ISM Spanish, but we also learn about the history of different countries such as Scotland. I find it quite interesting and a bit funny with their Danish accents! During classes, I go into the library with Randi where I practice my reading and writing skills. Unfortunately Randi is retiring in 2 weeks so I had better learn quickly...

Tuesday:
I went to school for the "long day" of the week. Here are bullet points from the day:

• In history, wandered off for a while talking about the biggest container ship parked in Copenhagen
• Played for a while in music
• Barely any homework
• School is very easy and they don't seem to take school as seriously
• Went to Solveig's riding class to watch with Ellen and Amalia
• Lots of fun!

Just wondering if any of you guys have Skype... Tell me yours or I'll tell you mine by email. It would be great to talk to you face to face!

Wednesday:
Info- not such a fun day. I was home from school with asthma problems. When I had my mom go in and turn in my homework, they wouldn't accept it until I was feeling better.

Thursday:

• So I went back to school
• After school I biked to the place that I go horseback riding
• I saw "No Named Horse" (Bente can't remember the name...)
• Stella bicycled to a birthday party instead with a few of her new friends

Friday:

• days getting better
• Friday: Danish x2, Science x2, English, Math
• Friday schedule might look like an urg! schedule, but it is actually a fun day!
• In science, I won an airplane contest for the second time... Cool airplane design here. Kind of blurry and not best video (hard to follow) but it still is informational.
• On Fridays in English, we play a game where we have to fill in the words to a song while it is being played (you have a sheet with most of the lyrics)
• After school I went to 6th Grade Club and then a fair
• I feel like I'm fitting in more and more

6th Grade Club:
I had a special request to talk more about the 6th grade club. First of all I want to say that over here in Denmark it is called "Klubben" (pronounced kloo- ben). Here are some facts about Klubben that you might find interesting:

• Grades k-3 are in what's called SFO
• SFO is where Stella goes for most of the year, but then at the very end she switches to Klubben
• SFO costs more because it is "all provided" or something like that
• The sixth graders have their own room that any 5th graders and lower aren't allowed to come in
• The kids in Klubben aren't allowed to go into the little kids room
• There are snack at around 3 o'clock for kids in Klubben and earlier for SFO kids
• Outside there is a playground, soccer field, basketball court, place to park bikes, a wooden cabin and a deck.
• The Klubben/ SFO building is called Hobitten (pronounced with a long O)
• In the 6th grade room, there is a large projector with a Blu-ray box connected to watch movies
• 5 comfy sofas
• 2 large windows
• AND an outlet for music with a loud boom box
• Stella's SFO room has a lot of crafty things from beads to markers
• There is a cafeteria with a few benches and a living room
• There is also a kitchen with cool kitchen tools

On Saturday, I didn't go to horseback riding but to a free outdoor concert, in Copenhagen, with ballet/opera all performed by the Royal Theatre.
