Orlando, now without my parents

The 11th April I was so lucky to have an airline ticket to Orlando. Since I left Denmark, I have wanted to go down to Orlando to visit some of our friends that lives down there. That is also what I did this Easter. In my school we don't have spring break, but we do have Thursday, Friday and Monday off around easter. With some schooldays off, I went down there. I hadn't even been in Wisconsin for a week, and off I wnt. The kids in the family I went to visit did have to go to school all of the days, but I was really good anyway. In the start it was really hard to talk Danish though. I took myself thinking  "can't I just say this in English?" When I went back to Wisconsin everybody was like: "You've got an accent..." Overall it was nice to talk a little Danish again. I just have to get used to it again when I return home to Denmark in a few month. I was there for 10 days, and it was really nice to get some Danish food again. 

One of the things I wanted to buy down there was a prom dress. There isn't many options up here around Webster, and I wanted one nobody else had. Here is a little selection of the many dresses I tried on:

I loved this one, but it is black. I don't mind black, but I don't like it is only black. It is too much funeral. 

The following one won. I love it because it is almost too long, and there are so many layers.

The first Sunday we went out to the west coast and stuck our toes in the golf. The beach was so beautiful, an we got the best Italian ice cream. It was almost as being back in Italy. 

Italian ice cream!!!

You can't go to Florida Orlando without visiting Disney at least once. This time the choice fell on Magical Kingdom - again. A couple of years ago when I went there with my parents, a lot of the amusements were closed. AND this time I wasn't the only child. It was really fun, and we got to see the new parade called "The Festival of Fantasy parade". Very fancy, and even the new film Frozen was in it. 

Overall it was a really nice trip, and I wish I could do it all over again. A really good thing with the trip was though I got reminded about a lot of things about Denmark, which I kind of had forgotten. Yes I miss Denmark, but not as much as before, and now I have realized that I am going to miss Wisconsin just as much, when I go back to Denmark.

And of course I won big time in monopoly:

Nu sund... Og nej, det er ikke en joke...

Men jeg ville ønske, at det var det! Cross country startede i mandags med små 2 miles. Det var faktisk ikke slemt. Tirsdag 3... Værre. I dag 2 uden at gå... Det var helvede. Jeg var jo blevet træt efter at have løbet de andre gange, og vi havde jo ikke fået nogen hviledag, fordi det findes der ikke her. Der findes weekender, hvor vi ikke har træning, men alle ugens dage er det bare på med sejheden, som ikke rigtig vil komme til mig. Man er ikke sund ved kun at gøre en ting sundt, så da vi tog til Wallmart, kiggede jeg på mel. Rugbrød, tænkte jeg, det kan jeg da lave. Mom skulle have noget andet, men hun vidste ikke, hvor det var, og på vores togt, fandt vi det. Vakuumpakket, tørt og aflangt. De havde rugbrød. Og så flere forskellige slags. Så nu har jeg konkluderet at jeg er sund, fordi jeg spiser, sover og dyrker motion sundt!

I går registrerede vi os på skolen. Det var okay, vi havde begge gjordt vores hjemmearbejde, og derved tog det næsten ingen tid at ordne os. Som historiefag tager jeg American history & debate. Det sidste tror jeg vil blive sjovt, fordi jeg elsker at debatere, men det er nok ikke det samme, som herhjemme. Kommer vi til at lære det boglige om at debatere, eller bliver det noget med, at vi skal hver kæmpe for en sag? Det bliver i hvert fald spændende. Som science fag tager jeg advanced chemestry. Man kan åbenbart ikke bare tage math, nej man skal vælge hvilket emne. Så jeg har valgt trigonometri. Vi har haft det i folkeskolen, men det er sikkert lidt mere avanceret, og det var det, algebra eller geometri. Desuden har jeg sagt, at jeg også gerne ville have nogle kunstneriske fag som cheramics, art and crafts, wood shop og media production. Desuden ville jeg også gerne tage pilot klassen. Herovre skal man ikke tage gymnastik (Overraskede), men jeg har valgt at tage den klasse, der hedder phy ed. Det er, hvor man dyrker alle mulige former for sportsgrene. Den anden gymnastik klasse, som man kunne tage, hedder personal fitness. Det er vægt løftning. Ikke noget for mig...
