So it's been a week and a lot has happened. Wednesday the girls in my class invited me to go shopping with them so that was really nice and it makes me feel like I'm fitting in a lot more. I have also taken up knitting so I actually have something to do in class...don't laugh. It makes me feel like I actually accomplished something and now I have my winter accesories! I've made two face cloths and now I am working on a white winter scarf.
Thursday...only one really important thing really happened on Thursday. I went to language school and found out that the reason that Rebeca (my best friend here in Denmark) was in the hospital because an accident on her bike. She had split open her duodenum and had to have surgery. This had all happened on Tuesday so I was a little late finding out. Though I bought her some flowers and got everyone at the language school to sign a get better card for her and went and visited her in the hospital. She looked ok but she had to be cut open from the bottom of her chest all the way down most of her stomach. I was so upset that I hadn't been there earlier. She's getting better though and I visit her as much as she's up to. Her mom from America is here with her too and she should be released any day now.
On Friday I spent the day at school then went shopping for some yarn with my new friend in my class Anne who is another exchange student with a different program. After I went home, got something to eat and then went to the hospital. My friend had already been trying to find Rebeca and he thought he knew where to go but he ended up at the completly wrong hospital so I had to rescue him and then we went to the hospital.
Saturday Claes and Liselotte took me to a museum called the David collection which is art that was aquired by a man during his life and is now being shown in his house like a museum. It was really neat they had a special Islamic exhibit going on so I mostly checked that out. Then I knit for pretty much the rest of the day. For supper we had a traditional shrimp cocktail that consisted of shrimp, mango, coconut and guacamole. It was ok but I couldn't eat it all. Then we had hamburger with cooked cabbage and celery. It was ssoo good.
I think Sunday was both the worst and best day of this week. It was awesome because I got to go and see the BMX race here in Copenhagen and meet some of the racers. It was bad because I couldn't race, it was pouring and the guys were afraid to talk to me, so I didn't have a lot of company. The track here is amazing though and I can't wait for tonight because I was invited to the Club's practice. So now I need to figure out a way to get my bike over here quickly and as cheap as possible.
Yesterday(Monday) I had my meeting with Jorgen my counsilor for the second time. We went to this little cafe and I had some really good pasta for supper. There wasn't a whole lot to talk about seeing as everything is going great. So after he gave me my allowance and I went and bought some running shoes. My family has been asking me to go running with them, but truthfully I hate running and I usually hurt myself when I'm doing it too. But I might give it a try and if that doesn't work I can always bike with them when they run.
Today I have a tough schedule. I had rotary early this morning at 7am so I had to be up at 5:45 and get on the train at 6:20. Then I have school untill 11:30 then language school starts at 1 but I'm supposed to pick up a BMX bike for tonight at 2 and language school runs untill 4:30. The practice is at 6 but I want to get there early so I can try out the track with no one there and I need to eat supper and lunch in there too. So I don't really know what I'm going to do right now.
Well I won't be writing for another week or so because we have culture days the next 3 days. So I will write again later. Love you all!!
