So therefore, you could probably predict that I just had my "Easter break," or otherwise spring break here in Denmark.
It started out on Friday night after I got out from school, where my host family and I ate "middags kaffe," (afternoon tea/coffee/cookies), and then a couple hours later my host dad, host sister, two host brothers and I all went to the movies. I ate more than the recommended dose of popcorn, but what else is exchange for besides gaining a bunch of weight and pushing your body to maximum exhaustion limits (as previously mentioned in my last post.)
Saturday the whole family took to the summer house (minus my host sister.) We went for a nice, frigid cold walk outside on the beach, and then came home and made dinner. After dinner we watched a movie about navy divers as I continued reading the Anne Frank diary for the second time.
Sunday after we ate breakfast we all relaxed a little bit, and then went to my host brothers soccer game (minus my host sister and first host brother). After that we drove back to the summer house after a few stops along the way, and I made dinner a couple hours later, a dish that my mom made. When dinner was over I spent the rest of the night rotating between the movie that was playing on TV, to listening to music, while reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Technically I bought it back in October but never got around to reading it until now, so applause to Grace for actually picking up a book.
Monday I went with my host father to his mom and dad's house where I met his father, and when we walked back to the summer house I was driven back to their regular house. I spent a nice night at home just listening to music and sitting on the couch for hours on end until I went to bed.
Tuesday I went out with Claire to a café to eat dinner, and then we went out before coming home later that night. We're actually so regular at the café we go to we're on an acquaintance basis with one of the waiters. One morning we went there to get breakfast after a cancelled class and didn't realize it didn't open for another 20 minutes. They let us in anyway while swinging open the door yelling "Helllooo girlies!"
Wednesday I went over and spent the night at my first host sisters house, where we rotated between speaking a healthy dose of both Danish and English, talked a lot about exchange, and just generally had a great time together.
Thursday was a Påske frokost, which is basically the same thing as a jule frokost, only we don't play pakkeleg or eat risalamande (although I wouldn't object, I'm always in the mood for risalamande.) There is however a substantial amount of rye bread, and food, and people, and laughing. I met my whole host dads side of the family (give or take a few). They're incredibly fun and have a lot of personality to them.
Friday I met with a girl (former exchange student in Port Angeles) and had coffee with her.
Saturday my host parents were at another get together and my host siblings and I stayed home. I went out for a good two hours and biked around in the sun while taking photos. The sun FINALLY came out. It was wonderful.
Sunday Claire came over and spent the night, where we had a pretty good time as always just talking.
And Monday...well actually today is Monday and nothing really remarkable happened, but I know I'm getting sick. Funny though, it came in time for me to miss school (fingers crossed.) Normally whenever I'm sick it comes at the most inconvenient times like breaks or vacations, where I don't get any extra time off.
Tomorrow I'll be waking up and going to four classes (only two of which I can understand) and repeating for 5.5 more weeks of Danish schooling. Hard to believe how fast time is flying.
Friday is eight months that I've been here, and I have a little over two months left, approximately five blogs left, here in this little itty bitty country.
So there was Easter!
Vi ses! :-)
