I have now been in Denmark for over 3 months. Last month has been great and i’ve been busy as always. Also this coming month is very exciting. I have Euro Tour coming up in just a few weeks. Unfortunately i haven’t been very lucky over the past couple of days i lost my CPR card which is my health card which is also the thing that basically tells people that i’m a resident in Denmark. I am going to go and order i new one tomorrow which if everything happens correctly i should get sent to me before i go on Euro Tour. I will apparently need it while on Euro Tour so i’m crossing my fingers that there will be no delays! 

The weather has been warming up but this weekend it has just suddenly got cold again. The house is really cold because the heating system has been turned off. I actually wore my winter jacket inside today. The warm days we have had like wednesday and thursday last week have been lovely. On wednesday i went to the park in Roskilde with some of the other exchange students and we did the same on thursday after language class. On thursday i even wore shorts (it was 18 degrees). I also bought a new camera on thursday. I thought that i had better get a good one before Euro Tour. I also bought some bathers because i know that we will be going to a beach in Italy.

Its been so long since i’ve written that i can’t even remember half the things that have happened over the past month. I am working on the language but i’m still not very good. Compared to some of the other exchange students i’m absolutelyhopeless but i will just keep working at it and it will come eventually.

Me and some of my friends from school had a movie night. This was us watching The Human Centipede.

The first picture taken with my new camera! :)

Yesterday i went on an excursion to Frederiksborg Castle with my art class. I have already been to this Castle with Esben and Anita in my first week of being here but it is a very beautiful place and it was fun to go back in better weather. There is a gallery inside the Castle and because it was and Art class excursion we had to analyse and make copies of some of the pictures. We also had to draw something from the garden/park. I forgot to take my camera but i took pictures on my phone and my phone actually takes really good pictures. Probably better than my camera! :) 

This weekend has been really great. On Friday i went to a party at my school and then stayed at Maida’s house for the night. Saturday i relaxed for most of the day and then i met Feli, Laura and Camilla in Roskilde. We had dinner at Camilla’s house and then we went and saw the Hunger Games. It was such a good movie and i really want to read the books now. 

Today (sunday) Lotte, Olav and i went to the Roskilde Viking museum. It was very interesting. Quite a long time ago they found the ruins of five ships at the bottom of the Fiord and it took them around 20 years but they reconstructed them. There are a lot of bits missing but i think its amazing how they knew where to put all the pieces. It was like a very complicated jig saw puzzle. 

So it has been a great weekend but i am not feeling so well now. I think i am coming down with a bit of a cold. I have been very busy so it probably has something to do with that.
