Summer has finally come, we had 27 degrees today! :P It was almost too much, and we have been tanning since we got home from school, next to our green pool (we haven't cleaned it yet) :P
With a little help from my music teacher, my school asked me to play for a competition. I had to play some of my music for when people got there, so they wouldn't get too bored too soon. I couldn't enter the competition though, since it was a speech competition, but I had fun, and I am feeling famous and popular :D
Just to give a quick update and make everyone in cold cold Denmark wish they were here in our awesome heat :P

Back again
Hello, I'm back from an awesome weekend with my family :P
We lived in a very isolated area. We only saw 2 people, we had no reception and of cause, there was a lake nearby to make the horror movie plot seem even more clear. We lived in a REALLY large house. I hadn't expected more than a kitchen and a room or 2 where we would all stay in together. instead we got more room than we have here at out house.
We went to a place on top of a hill where we tried an air-swing. Which is kind of a normal swing, but you are 3 people in it, and you get pulled up to around 20 meters of the ground, and it lets go. We accelerated to 150 km/h in just 2 seconds.
next we went to some go-kart thing, without engines. They were driven by gravity and we drove down a really long hill, getting some pretty nice speeds.
And finally yesterday (Sunday) I made a bungee-jump. I did it in Taupo, which is the highest water touch bungee jump. I put a video on youtube, if you haven't watched it yet, you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMQ66m5r1P0 I've really been looking forward to it, and I am now looking forward to take a 3 times higher jump around Christmas :P
I also just finished my 1. composition in music, I got merit, which is the same as the Danish 7/10. I'm going to attempt getting the excellence (12) for my next song, and I already, after working on it for 1 day, think it's better :P

Rotarua
We're going to leave soon. I've packed and ready, and I'm looking forward to a great weekend, with an awesome bungy jump in the end :P There won't be any reception of any kind while I'm there, so I won't update every night (I had thought of that, since I will remember everything better like that), and I won't be able to text with my friends, so it's only bonding with the family (I am in fact happy for that) :P
I also just finished my 1. composition, and my teacher liked it. It was really simple with only 7 different sentences, but he liked it and he's sure I'm going to pass :P He also gave me some ideas to ad to it, 'cause it was quite short. I just finished adding a chorus ('cause I originally didn't care for a chorus). I will probably put it on youtube when I get home, but lets see what happens.
We also payed our South Island trip Wednesday, so everything is planned and ready :P We will start 25/12 and make our way to adventure. Which means we will celebrate christmas 24. as I am used to. We will then be home 3/1, where I will still have about 1 month of holiday left.
I also just sent my girlfriends christmas present (sorry family, but I thought you might be okay with not getting anything this year). Of obvious reasons I can't tell you what it is, since I am not sure wether she reads my blog or not, but I can tell you it's special :D
Just a short update before I'm going on an awesome weekend :P

I know it's been a while
Hello everyone :D I know I haven't updated in a while, but we don't have unlimited internet here, and I ended up running out of my share of it :/ We might get unlimited today though, but we're not completely sure, since my "dad" got a text a month ago, saying we would be getting it, but he hasn't heard anything about it since then.
Anyway... it's starting to get warmer here :P but at the same time more windy, so I can't go to the skatepark and hang out with my friends, without blowing away on my way there :/
The past couple of weeks I've started to be more with my friends. We normally sit in some park (we have quite a lot here) or just walk around.
Next weekend we'll go on a family weekend to Rotorua. We will do a thing I don't quite remember the name of, but you sit in a gokart, and drive down a hill and get quite a lot of speed on the way down. My family told me that it's not really safe, and I will have to take care so I don't brake any bones, but with the luck I've had with injuries while I've been here, I can already look forward to a broken arm -.-
I hope that doesn't happen though, 'cause we might go Bungee-jumping in Taupe on the way home. I've already thought all the possible ways I can die through, so I'm now ready to litterally, jump into it.
We will also go to see some of the hot pools they have. I think I did this with my real family there too in 2004, but I'm looking forward to do it again.
I've started in school again after 2 weeks of holiday, and I already want holiday again. Luckily I only have to wait 2 more weeks untill my summerholiday starts, and I will have 3 months of relaxation with out pool :P We've planned to go to the South Island and have a look at how it is there. I've prommised my mom and dad back in Denmark, that I will write down some good places to go, since they will be picking me up in May. They told me a week or 2 ago, that while waiting in the airport, they decided to order some tickets to come pick me up :P We will then go home again June 3.
As mentioned before, my luck with getting hurt has really been a pain in the *ss since I got here. I started with falling on snowboard and sprain my wrist (thank god it wasn't broken). I then fell on my skateboard, and couldn't walk out the house for 3-4 days. Friday our pool at the school opened, and as a water lover I had to jump in it. but it was slightly more shallow than I thought, and I ended up injuring my foot (I have no idea how I did it). After that I couldn't really walk, and it only got worse and worse. I can't feel it todays though, but I had to call my "mom" to pick me up. Unfortunately she was in Wanganui to but a new phone, and I had to wait 35 minutes to be picked up.
On of my friends I met on my way here, has now changed family. Her family thought she was a whore, because she is used to (like I am) to be friends with both genders, and hang out with them too. A week ago she told me she wasn't even allowed to go to the shop to buy stuff. She had to go home right after school and take care of the family's children. She started to feel more like a 24/7 babysitter than an exchange student, so she now lives with one of her friends. Luckily my family isn't anything like that. They're pretty much like my family back in Denmark with the social life.
All in all everything in my life right now is good. I have awesome friends, pretty good grades, not very much homesickness, and a nice family to talk to if anything should happen. I am REALLY looking forward to next weekend, where I might just get to bungee jump (it's not final though), and I can't wait to go to the South Island.
Bye :D
