The night of the 10th was Anne's last night in Denmark because the next morning she boarded the plane.
I agreed to go with the family because I wanted to say goodbye to Anne. I have only had the pleasure of being with her for a week, but in that time she has help me tremendously. She would sit down with me and tell me all the important words I needed to know to construct a sentence. In return I would tell her about some of the difficult parts of English; the most common mistake made by every Dane is saying learn when they should say teach or taught. After the first three days of being here we started to joke and laugh. I usually would talk to her more than anyone else in the family. She took me to Havnefest, the mall, and a party and each time introducing me to more of her friends. She has been a great help and I am sad to see her go but she needs to live her own amazing experience.
When she told me the time we would be leaving for Copenhagen originally I misunderstood and thought that she meant we would leave the house at 0700. It turns out she departs from Copenhagen at 0700. We had to leave at 0100. I was not prepared for that. I was planning to shower in the morning, so I was dirty and I had to quickly get dressed to go. We left 0100, and arrived around 0330. Since it is an international flight Anne needed to be there 3 hours before. I slept most of the way. When we arrived I noticed all the signs had English and Danish which was nice. We went into the airport and waited by the 7-11 inside the airport, which had a nice pastry section. Soon we were surrounded by Exchange students, and since I wore my Rotary Blazer many thought I was leaving too. I noticed one Exchange student, a male, seemed to be saying goodbye to his girlfriend. It reminded me of when I said goodbye, and I know how he must feel. Anne was nervous but had a calm and excited façade. All the exchange students going to Canada gathered around a Rotarian who gave some information. He also told the group that four of the students have not received their visas yet. Luckily Anne received hers a couple days before.
The students gathered on a set of stairs and pictures were taken. After that they began their walk to the terminal and we quickly lost site of her.
And Now For Something Completely Different
The night of her departure I had a nightmare but I wasn't dreaming. I was sitting at my computer and turned the light off. The only light was from the computer. I walked back to my computer and decided to open the window because it was getting hot. I opened the window and soon after I heard a buzzing sound. I looked at the wall to my right and.......... I saw........ MOSQUITOES HUNDREDS OF THEM. I quickly bolted out of that room. Jeg hader mosquitoes! De er ikke godt! Now there are hundreds of dead bodies and blood covering the walls, mosquito bodies that is.
