Hello January... Goodbye?

Wow I just thought we said hello to the new year, and suddenly the time is gone with the wind. In a couple of days it is already February, and I am starting to recognize what people were saying about the time after New Year. Now you have settled completely, and the time flies away with your daily activities. Day after day. Almost week after week. The weird part is that I love doing the daily activities even though there isn't anything really exciting about it. I really love school (weird right?), I LOVE basketball (Even though I kind of stink at it), and best of all: I have found some really good friends. Yes I had some problems before Christmas, but that's a part of being on an exchange. You have to deal with stuff, that I personally would rather avoid. I know this might sound a little cheesy, but i really understand now what Kelly Clarkson meant with her song:" What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". Well it is true. If somebody stamped on you, don't take revenge or cry about it. Learn how it can make you stronger. I have heard a lot of other people say this, and it haven't ever really sunk in. For a lot of people, they need to experience it for themselves. I have now. And if you are a really nice and forgiving person, you can almost thank the other person for making you stronger. I haven't reached that point in my development of my thoughts, but one day perhaps. 

So as I mentioned earlier, there hasn't really happened that much. Last Tuesday though, one of my american friends invited me to the movie theater to watch Frozen. Even though I have seen it before it is a great movie, and I thought why not. We went after basketball practice, and it was almost funnier the second time. And then after the basketball game Friday (WE WON a c-scuad game! 24-23. I made 2 baskets.) I then went to the same persons house and spent the night. Saturday was spent with Pretty Little Liars all day, and then I returned home. We had a great time, and it is nice to have such great friends. It is also worth mentioning that I am the only person in this house, except for my host-parents, that haven't gotten the really nasty flu. Friday I was the only one of the 6 kids going to school. It was very scary standing out in the dark and the cold, waiting for the bus alone. Well I survived, and I still haven't gotten sick. 

Yesterday and today the school was closed because of the cold... AGAIN! Not that I'm complaining, but as I stated earlier, I like school, and I get a little restless. Everybody says there is school tomorrow, and then the 2. semester is starting. I then exchange debate with anthropology and anatomy with sociology. So I should have a lot to do tomorrow.

Homecoming

I sidste uge var der så homecoming... Noget underligt noget, men så alligevel skægt. Det det handler om er at støtte det americanske fodboldhold. Det gør man ved at klæde sig ud hver dag i den uge. Fredag er så spirit day, så man tager skolefarver på. Vores er sort og orange. Så teknisk set fejrede vi bare halloween lidt for tidligt. Fredag aften er der så det her homecoming game. Vi vandt! Bagefter er der så den pompøse homecoming dance. Jeg var til kampen, men da vi havde et cross country meet den næste dag, tog vi hjem før festen. Hver dag havde et tema. Mandag var hot mess, tirsdag decade, onsdag class color, torsdag toga og fredag spirit. Vores klasse var grøn. Det eneste grønne jeg ejer, er min rygsæk og en army grøm t-shirt... Og jeg som troede, jeg havde grøn. Åbenbart ikke. Her er jeg og den franske udvekslingsstudent:

Her er vi til homecomming came:

Og så mine to dejlige søstre til pepmarchen: 

Jeg har fundet en mega smart app, så nu kan jeg skrive blogindlæg overalt. Dette indlæg er f.eks. skrevet på bussen. Så kan man jo også lige tage et billede en af de utallige sører. Hvis det er skævt er det nok pga. vejene herovre ikke er de bedste.

Jeg prøver at få taget nogle billeder af bladene. Efterårets farver er allerede begyndt at titte frem. Jeg håber, at jeg får pisket mig selv ud med mit gode kamera i næste weekend. Jeg hører, at det  derhjemme også er begyndt at blive lidt koldere... Jeg har heldigvis armeret mig med mange sweatre - så kulde, du kan bare komme an!
