Broken arm

I just got home from our ski/snowboard trip. As always I find a way to hurt myself. This time I broke my inner wrist bone on the left arm.

We had to drive 1,5 hour to get to Taupo hospital that could do both x-ray and a cast. This means that I saw some incredible nature on the way there, but also that my arm constantly hurt because of bumpy roads, and a car with a very bad suspension -.-

At the Taupo hospital I got a Danish nurse. It made everything a bit more comforting, and it felt much better knowing exactly what she was talking about, instead of getting everything in English where I might not have understood it all.

Since it's my hand I broke, I won't be able to play guitar for a while, which is really bad, because I have a group thing in music, and I just got a singer Tuesday. Hopefully we won't have to perform before I can play again.

Other than that, it was really fun. I got a lot closer to all the guys on our sports-team, and we had a lot of fun falling and running into each other Wednesday, where we started the snowboading.

I won't be able to play guitar for a while, and my contact lenses are going to be a lot of trouble the next week or so. Also, I'm almost not sick anymore, All I have now is a slight cough

Just wanted to give an update on my current health situation

No school :P

The school is having tests of some kind in this week, and since I don't have to take tests and I don't need the credits (that's what they use here instead of actual grades), I can stay home this week :) I've been talking to some of the other students in the house, about going to Palmerston North tomorrow or maybe Wednesday to shop. But since this is a really small town, there's only 1 or 2 busses going there each day. So we will have to get up at 6 or something -.-'

One of my friends told me that he saw on facebook that I am now single... If anyone else has seen this: I am not. I am still together with my wonderful girlfriend, and everything is better than I expected when we said goodbye in July. We don't talk everyday, it's more like once or twice a week, which is fine. This way I'm not constantly thinking about talking to her, when I'm at school or when I'm social with my family :) I still miss her though, but that's obvious.

Also, I have now paid for my ski trip. It cost $290, which is not bad at all, if you ask me. It's the 29th, which means I only have to be at school 2 days next week (yay!). I'm pretty much done with all the homework I get, I still have to make some reading responses, but it's due 11th week, so I have lots of time.

If everything is going as planned, I will put "Mama, I'm coming home" on youtube, by the end of this week. I haven't really had the time to practice it since wednesday. But I only need about 20 seconds, which I unfortunately have to figure out myself how to play, because none of the tabs I've been looking at wants to tell me in a readable language for human beings.

Just a quick update :)
Bye :)

I can't think of a title

Everything is pretty much normal at the moment... Nothing is really happening since it's kind of the same as back in Denmark in the school days. But some changes have been made though :)

I switched from math to art at school, because math was just WAY too advanced at some stuff. Some of the stuff we did was really simpel, but some of it just went over my head. I couldn't understand a thing of it. That means I now have art, where we mainly just sit around and draw stuff.

I also finished my 1. solo performance at school! I played Beatles - Blackbird, which I'm very used to play. I'm thinking about fnishing Cavatina (which is the deerhunter theme), for my next solo performance which I think might be in week 10 (it's week 5 now). Friday I'm going to do my 1. composition, which I'm not done with yet, so I might have to start thinking about some lyrics.

With that said I'm starting to have quite a lot of homework. I have to write a song to Friday, I have to finish 5-6 papers where I describe some tools and tell about what they're used for and how you should handle them, for engineering. Also I have to make a static image for English to Friday. The image has to be describing a scene from a movie we saw, but I'm almost done with that

Also I've started learning Ozzy Osbourne - Mama, I'm coming home. I started Sunday, and I'm almost done already :P I just need about 20 seconds, and it's done :) I've been playing guitar about 3-4 and sometimes 6 hours per day for a week now, so my fingers are constantly sore, but the pay-off is good :P

Vulcano

So... Apparently there was an eruption at a Mt Tongariro, which is also where I'm supposed to go on my ski trip. The eruption happened on the other side of the mountain, so the ski trip is still going as planned, unless something extreme happens the next few weeks. I think I flew over the mountain on my way here, but I'm not totally sure. Anyway... apparently Marton (where I live), smelled a lot like Rotorua last night (which smells like sulphur), but I didn't notice anything.

Also... we didn't have any electricity this morning, and it can be really difficult to get dressed with no light, when you HAVE to wear specific clothes, and your room isn't really as tidy as it probably should be... I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the eruption, since there hasn't been any real activity the past few days. But I might aswell just tell you

But here's a link if anyone is interested in any further details about the eruption: Vulcano Eruption

Last: I don't really remember whether I told everyone or not. But I have music at school (ofcourse), where I'm supposed to make 2 song, and play 2 solo tracks (where I chose to play Tears in Heaven, and blackbird). I'm pretty much done with my first song, but I still need 2 verses though. But I will probably upload the songs on youtube when I'm done with them if anyone is interested. (and yes, they are really optimistic about their students here)

That should be pretty much all I think :)

Almost 4 weeks

I've been here for almost 4 weeks already, and I haven't really felt any homesick... of course I've missed my family a bit, and especially my girlfriend, but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. But then again, there's still 9 months and a Christmas to overcome, but I have a feeling that it won't be THAT bad (but I know there will be some homesickness).

I'm not sure if I mentioned a ski trip earlier. But if I haven't, then I'm telling you now: I'm going on a ski trip in 3-4 weeks. It's going to cost me $280 and I honestly expected more, so I'm definitely going! The students from Finland and Sweden I'm living with, are also going, so I won't be all alone, not knowing anyone.

Also I decided I probably won't go on the south island trip, since it's REALLY expensive! It's $1695, so I don't think I'm going, and since my parents told me we're coming back here in some years, I thought I might be able to wait a little longer. And if my parents aren't going to take me, I'm just going someday when my economy is existing.

I discovered that my family apparently is really active in the summer. In the past summers they have been river rafting and cool stuff like that. So I might be able to try the bungy jump here even though I'm probably not doing the south island trip.

I've also bought a new guitar! It's almost as good as the ones I have at home, and it only cost me $150 with new strings, a bag and a stand. My music teacher bought it for my on some online second hand store. He then decided to restring it for me for free, because the strings were really old and I would have to change them anyway. This means that for my upcoming video on youtube will be using the my 4. guitar for my 4. video, which I find a bit funny :p

But I'm out all of you :p
