Drake go home! I like my new friends

10 miles and do you know what? It was worth. 10 miles on a bike headwind and I thought I for a while that I would die, but I made it and it was all forgotten, when we finally made it to the camp for the first sleepover with our new class. It was so much fun! In Denmark you are typically in the same class with the same people all day all the way through high school, the exceptions might be your second foreign language and your artistic subject, but bottom line; it’s pretty important you get along with your classmates. I feel so lucky. I got 26 nice ones and I’m sure it’ll be three great years with them!

We played a lot of games and ate a lot of cake. My diet is so over (before it even really began)! We also went canoeing, bathing and then we had a water fight. I guess it’s a Danish thing to love water even when it’s only 68˚F. I wish I would have taken some pictures, but even though it’s hard to believe if you know me and my very close relationship to my phone, my phone spent most the time in my back. I just wanted to get to know the other guys.

I thought of America when we went to sleep though. Not because the scenario reminded me of how it is in the States. Not at all! It was like the exact opposite. We took a bunch of mattresses and put them in the living room. There weren’t enough mattresses for all, so we just shared. It was really nice and I had a great time lying under a table with two girls talking. I just couldn’t help but think, what the American reaction would have been, if they’d seen us like that; lying girls and boys in one big bunch.

We were only there for one night, but when we came back Friday afternoon I felt like we had all really bonded. We all went to the park in the afternoon and had a lot of fun. I was so tired when I came home at night!

Today I’ve been turning in some job applications. I really need a job! I want to go back to America and I can already feel that high school is going to be a little expensive – at least if you want to have fun. I’ll turn more applications in the next couple of days and hope I’ll have some luck. Tonight we also had game night. I think I was in need for some quiet family time… Okay, it’s never really quiet when it’s my family, but you get the point…
