Er nu kommet hjem fra lacrosse afslutning! Det var sjovt men også trist for nu er det helt slut! Vi fik lidt mad, så var der taler og vi fik også en masse ting! Alle senior skulle også sige få ord (det var faktisk sjovt at prøve selvom jeg var nevøs) vi fik vores bogstav for at spille en varsity sport som man kan putte på sin Lettermans jakke som jeg har bestilt og den er kommet så nu skal jeg ned og få mit bogstav på :-) der blev også givet priser - jeg fik træner prisen for at jeg altid gav mig 150% til træning og kamp! Blev lidt stolt! Jeg kommer til at savne holdet meget næste år!

Min fødselsdag
I går var det vi fødselsdag. Startede allerede min fødselsdag fredag efter skole hvor mig og Zainab tog ud og spise! En hyggelig aften. Lørdag vågnede jeg kl 4 og startede dagen ud kl 5 med at Skype mor, far og storebror. Kl 7 begyndte vi at køre for vi skulle være på gardner webb kl 9. Det ligger lidt udenfor Charlotte, nc. Det var sjovt og se hvordan College er herover. Fik ikke en tshirt men et billede med maskot og saf. Efter tog vi til Charlotte hvor vi spise på cheesecake. Fik også en sang og en lille is af medarbejderne :) efter shoppede vi lidt. Jeg var godt træt da vi kom hjem kl 18.30. Lidt senere på aften slukkede min værtsfamilie lyset og begyndte at sange og kom med en kage med lys. Men det var ikke bare normale lys, det var snyde lys. Det var faktisk sjovt. Havde en god dag jeg aldrig vil glemme.
I dag stå den på afslapning!!! I morgen har jeg lacrosse afslutning

25. April + 26. April
I går lavede jeg fødselsdagsboller som jeg altid får til min fødselsdag. Vi smagte godt :) i morges kom Zainab med en cupcake til mig. I aften tager mig og Zainab ud og spiser på miyo's. Vi skulle have gjordt det søndag men hun vil gøre det på min "fødselsdag". Min fødselsdag starter jo i Danmark om 5 timer så vi siger bare at min fødselsdag starter kl 18 her så vi kan holde min fødselsdag på min fødselsdag. Jeg har 6 timer længere fødselsdag :)

50 dage tilbage
Kan ikke fatte at der kun er 50 dage til jeg skal sige farvel til mit liv her. Det bliver trist at sige farvel men glæder mig til at se min familie og danske venner igen.
Der var en anden udvekslingsstudent fra danmark som skrev dette i explorius 2012/2013 gruppen. (en gruppe på facebook hvor alle der rejser med explorius i år er i)
A year has passed and now we stand on the brink, of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything and yet nothing being the same.
In a couple of weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears,we will say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left.
We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends.
We will go back to the places we came from, and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before.
We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.
As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become.
You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand.
Who will you call first?
What will you do your first weekend home with your friends?
Where are you going to work?
Who will be at the party Saturday night?
What has everyone been up to in the past few months?
Who from school will you keep in touch with?
How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking?
Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of being an exchange student is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind.
We now know the meaning of true friendship.
We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest to our hearts.
We've left our worlds to deal with the real world.
We've had our hearts broken, we've fallen in love. We've lit candles at the grotto and we've stayed up all night on the phone just to talk to a friend in need.
There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families or friends needed us the most, and there are times when we know we have made a difference.
Just weeks from now we will leave.
Just weeks from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes.
No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random e-mails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer, and hopefully years to come.
We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world.
Just weeks from now we will arrive.
Just weeks from now we will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end.
We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us to laughter and tears over the year.
We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year.
In just weeks we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close.
And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two worlds.
In just weeks.
Are you ready?....

exchange student
hej alle sammen! det er et digt som en anden udvekslingsstudent har skrevet og synes lige jeg ville dele den med jer. i sær til kommende udvekslingsstudenter.
I'm standing on the edge. In less than two months I have been gone for 9 months. (jeg kan sige sige less than 1 month) I left my home, family and friends fighting my tears, and now I have to do it all over again quite soon.
I remember the night of my departure day as it was yesterday. I was excited, ...nervous, overwhelmed, and terrified. Will they be able to understand me? Will I understand them? Will I get any friends? Will I gain weight? How is my school and friends gonna be like? What will my family be like? Will I get homesick? Will the plane crash? Will I get along with my family?
Hugged my family goodbye, cried the last tears and I was on my way. I didn't know what to expect. So many 'what ifs' flew threw my mind. What if my family don't like me. What if I don't get any friends. What if I get homesick. What if we don't understand each other.
I was blessed with a new beginning. I got the chance to start all over. I got a new family, new friends, and a new life. I had the best of both worlds. I had a family to take care of me, that I could cry to and get a hug from whenever I needed it - I had a family at home ready to do the same as soon as I would return. I had friends I could share tears and laughter with. - I had friends at home, I could share all my new experiences with.
My exchange year is soon over, and I will leave my family and best friends, to return to my family and best friends. I will return home to a new world. Even though not much have changed, I have. I have changed, and I've become a new person. A better and more open person, I'm ready for life, I'm ready for new adventures.
It's time to realize who my real friends are in both worlds. Who will make sure I made it home, who will keep in touch with me, who will honestly miss me. Who will come see me, who will call me, who have changed, who will disappoint me, and who will stay my friends.
Being hours away from home knowing that you're best friend, or sister needs you, is the hardest thing ever. You wanna take the first flight home just to be with them, but you can't. The time difference makes you sit up all night and talk to whoever needs you, and not even realize that you have school the morning after.
There have been times where I've felt helpless and desperate. The time difference made it impossible to talk to anyone from home, your host family was asleep, that's when your exchange friends kicks in. An exchange year will give you friends all over the world. For the rest of your life, you will have friends to visit in nearly every country in the world. The only ones who will ever truly understand you, your frustrations, your homesickness and your tears.
In a very short amount of time, I will leave - I will take down everything, pack my clothes, my memories, experiences and my life. I'm going to leave my life and my second world.
In a very short amount of time, I will arrive - I will unpack everything, my clothes, memories, experiences and my life. I will return to my old life, as a new person. I will share my memories and experiences with people who won't ever truly understand it.
Ready or not, I have to change one more time, and say goodbye one more time. Very soon.

The wiz
I går var vi inde og se the wiz School musical! Det var mega godt. Det er også en film så hvis i har lyst til at se den kan i jo leje den eller købe den.
I dag er prom Day! Prom er en Skolefest hvor man tager fint tøj, lange gallakjoler og håret sat. Jeg troede aldrig jeg skulle finde en kjole for er ikke en pige der sætter håret flot og lange gallakjoler er nok heller ikke mig men har fundet en flot kjole som jeg glæder mig til at have på. Senere i dag skal vi ordne negle. Kl 18 kommer resten er gruppen og henter os - de to drenge. Vi skal ud og spise først. Håber ikke de danse som de gjorde til semi formal. Glæder mig mest til at se alle kjoler.
1 uge til jeg fylder 17. År!
I må have en god weekend

verdens bedste værtsmor!
Sadiyah kom hjem med dansk småkager som de sælger om vinteren men walmart har dem hele året rundt. Hun er altid sød til at købe ting der minder om mig om dansk mad! Hun er den bedste værtsmor man kunne ønske sig!
Også fik jeg mit første fødselsdagskort fra min elskede bedstemor og bedstefar! Ved godt det ikke er min fødselsdag før den 27 men kunne ikke vente! :-)
Fredag 19. April = School musical the wiz
Lørdag 20. April = prom
Søndag 21. April = case event
Det skal nok blive en god weekend :-)

I dag (søndag) tog hele min værtsfamilie og mig til international festival hvor der var en masse kulturer og mad. Der var ikke så meget dansk men fandt vanilje kranse (de var dog ikke lige så gode som bedstemors) og store pandekager :)
En god og fantastisk weekend, men for kort!
Næste weekend er det Prom og Case event der står på mit skema

Spring break - bahamas
Jeg er nu kommet tilbage til Columbia og skole efter en god ferie! Vi havde en god tur til Bahamas. Vi kørte hele dagen lørdag og tog færgen søndag ;) da vi ankom til hotellet værelset havde ingen microbøgleovn så vi skiftet til et andet hotel som var billigere og bedre :) Island seas. Vi mødte en masse unge mennesker vi var sammen med hver dag. Vi gik ture på stranden, på marked, slappede af, spillede bold, paddle board, lokale ting.
Vi mødte bland andet to udvekslingsstudenter fra spanien. Jeg havde mit eget værelse med en bad og en stor seng. Fredag kl 16 tog vi til færgen og kørte hele natten. Flere billeder senere
Lørdag slappede vi af og søndag tog mig og saf ud og kigge på prom dress. Jeg fandt en men saf fandt ikke en.
Denne uge skal jeg være svømmetræner for sahlimah og efter har jeg dans for vi har danse koncert på fredag ;)
