Holiday

I now have 2 weeks of holiday!

and after the holiday I have to go to school for 3 weeks, and then I have summer holiday.

I have been using quite a lot of money the past 2 weeks (my mom might support that), but I've bought a new mouse for my computer, a skateboard and new shoes, since my other shoes kept getting holes in the side from using the skateboard.

Getting the skateboard, means that I can finally start using the skate park we have here. It's not very large, but it's better than rolling around in the limited space in the garage. I've only been there in the evenings so far, since I usually am really tired in the afternoon, so I haven't met any other people there.

I'm also starting to get more out of the house. Monday I'm planning to going home to one of my friends, and Tuesday I'm chilling in somewhere with some other friends.

We had a tallent quest on the school, which I of course joined. I didn't win, because we had some bad judges, who didn't listen, and instead chose the ones who where playing guitar and singing (Their singing wasn't that good). But, now everyone knows that I play guitar, and that I am pretty good at it (high fiveing myself). And I also got the chance to get on stage again. I played Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton, without any errors.

Unordinary week

This week some new stuff happened. we were invited to something none of us really knew what was Thursday. We just knew where and when when we should be there. It turned out to be an important annual Freemason meeting, where normal people (like us) could come and have a look. They told us all about their ranks and some of the things in their great meeting hall. It was actually pretty interesting (although I wouldn't want to join it, even at home). They had some things we weren't allowed to see, because they have some secret things going on. I learned that they were the ones sponsoring the ski trip, so we didn't have to pay a fortune.

Also, our computing teacher at the school are starting to ease up a bit. Yesterday (Friday), he let us play 'hangman' all class, and Wednesday he told us to play some games instead of doing what we really were supposed to (although it had to be educational games). I'm still going to chose something different for next year, but it makes it a bit more fun to do something a bit different, once in a while.

I have thought of only changing computing for next year. I was thinking about joining building instead, which is kind of like engineering, but we do it in wood instead. I was pretty good at it at home, and it could maybe help me a bit with my incapability with tools, and teach me something I can actually use when I come home, when I work with my father and brothers. I have seen some of the things they make. Right now most people make either benches or small tables. With the knowledge I have from my all knowing father at this, I know that the wood they use isn't very good. It's mostly something I wouldn't even consider using at home. But the school has some problems with money and funding for all the good things, and  our engineering class, could use some new tools too.

I am always done with my 1. composition for music. I know it has taken an awful lot of time, but with my arm that is almost good again, and a string that sprang the same day as I got my cast off, I have had a problem with finishing it.

my cast is off again (if you didn't realise from what's written above). The doctors realised it was only sprained (I don't think I posted anything about this earlier this week here), so I'm good to go again until I hurt myself again next time.

I also think that my teachers are starting to really like me. My art teacher didn't care that I spend all class playing guitar, because some girls didn't know how to play Nothing Else Matters (which I of course had to show them). My sports teacher didn't care either that I spend all class, entertaining the other hard working teachers, who had a lot of paperwork to do, with my music. And finally my music teacher gave me a string for my guitar here at home, so I could finish my work.

Last, I have come to realise that people here are REALLY bad at sarcasm. I use sarcasm all the time, and every 10 minutes I have to explain to my friends that it was only meant sarcastic. I haven't really noticed it that much before, but when I yesterday met some girls with a guitar in my art class, and they asked me if I could play something for them, and I told them in the most sarcastic voice ever: "no, I have never held a guitar before, I have no idea how you play it", and they really believed me, I realised that I should probably try to keep it at a minimum. Also, I think people are starting to think that I hate my Finish "sister", because we use sarcasm to insult each other (she knows that it's only for fun).

I know it was a long post, but I haven't updated in a while

Flight date

I got an email yesterday about the date I'm returning home, It's a bit early I got it, Carlos my "brother" who is from STS too, haven't even gotten his date yet, and he should return home around December. But the email said that they want me to return home around 8. of Juli. It's 2 months longer than I first expected. This means that I REALLY have to save my money. Currently I don't really have that much money, and if I have to stay here 2 months more than expected, I think I will have to stop using money whenever it isn't needed. I also need to have some more contact lenses sent for my eyes, since I only brought for 10 months.

It will make it a bit harder with homesickness when I get to May-June, since I had expected to go home at that point, but I guess I can pull through it. I will just have to hang out with my friends a bit more then. Also, the other students in the house are going home in May (as far as we know right now), so it will become more lonely, and quiet in the house.

I already talked to my girlfriend about it all, and though we already miss each other a lot, we decided that we can take those extra 2 moths if we have to (we anticipate that we are still together then).

I'm going to talk to my parents about it tomorrow when we're skyping, but I don't think there's much to do about it, and it would mean that we get 12 months for the price of 10. But at this time I have a feeling that 10 months would be enough for me.

No matter what I wont go back to Denmark because of homesickness. If we decide that I'm going to stay till July, then that's what I'm going to do, and I'm just going to have to pull through it :)

Just an update :)
