New Kid In Town

I feel obligated to write a post today because it was the first day of my new school. It is a very nice school for some reasons and ikke godt for others. The student services seem very nice, the cafeteria seemed nice but somewhat expensive, and most of the halls were decorated with a bunch of posters, artifacts, and dead, stuffed wild-life. Although the student services seemed nice the books were terrible, most were used back in the 70's and 80's. They were falling apart.

The day started with the principal giving an opening speech. In the speech the other exchange student and I were welcomed, and we had to stand so everyone could see us. The rest of the speech seemed humorous, judging by the laughter, but I understood none of it.

After the speech as I was walking to my class a girl tapped me on the shoulder, introduced herself and told me that she was in my class. She introduced me to some of her friends and they seemed nice, so I spent the day with them. I even helped one with a computer problem.

When the school day ended I rode my bike back to kølstrup, which was 14 km, and arrived back at my house exhausted and thirsty.

  1. What was on the cafeteria menu? How much would it cost in California?

    That's really sad about the books being so old - means to me that they don't have more current history in books yet.

    So, will you be learning in Danish only?

    That's so nice of you to help with the computer ... what happened to the computer?

    Keep on blogging, Greg - I check it every day!!

    Love

  2. So Greg... time to start teaching us Danish. Seriously; tell us a word here or there or translate a sentence and tell us what each word means and lets see if we can start to pick some of it up.
