50 days left

So I currently have 50 days left in this beautiful country, I'm currently on a type of expedition with my class at a church a town over from where I live, there is a lot of history among the walls and were learning about them now and also in history class. I'm with my friend Issa, and I think we're both about to fall asleep. Well us and the rest of the class, they guy talking has major mono tone and we have been sitting for about 2 hours. Anyways, the picture below is me and Issa, one of my best friends here!

It's about time Jenna

Hej guys, I know that I have been slacking a lot on this blog lately, and I want that to change, I cant believe that I've been in Denmark for 10 months now, the time has gone by so fast and its just so unbelievable, I have such wonderful people surrounding me, from my host family to my friends and also other exchange students. In 13 days I will be heading on Euro Tour, if you don't know what Euro Tour is, its where around 50 other exchange students including myself go on a tour around Europe for  18 days, were starting in Berlin Germany, then down to Prague, Austria, Northern Italy, Southern France, Paris, Belgium, Amsterdam, and finally finishing up in Hamburg, Germany. I can't wait until this is happening. There is one downfall to this all, I know that I'm going to be having so much fun, thus meaning that time will fly by yet again during my exchange. Once I get back from Euro Tour I have less then a month left in the beautiful country of Denmark. This is my home now, although I cant wait to see my family again, I know that leaving will be the hardest thing I have ever done, I have so many people here that I love and cherish. I feel like my final day's at school are just getting smushed together, but my goal is to try and make everyday memorable. It's strange for me because next Monday is my last day at school before I leave, and I'm going to have to say goodbye to some people, when I still have over a month left here. Everyday I learn something different, weather that's about the culture, language, or even myself. I'd like to think that I have changed a lot this year, it's made me see things that I never saw before, and I can't wait to take my experiences back to Florida with me. I would love to thank everyone who has helped me get where I am today. Rotary, thank you so much for giving me the greatest year of life. To my host families, Thank you so much for allowing me to stay in your beautiful home and treating me as one of your own. To my friends, you all are amazing, I have no idea what I'm going to do without you all, you've supported me in so many way. To other exchange students, I thank you all for the times when I needed you all most.To my family in the USA, Thank you all for supporting me this year, through thick and thin, love you all. To Granny, I think its easy to say this year has been a crazy one for us both, I cant wait to get home and see you again, spending time with you is one of the things I miss most.  Lastly I would like to thank my parents, because of you mom and dad, I am where I am today, I don't know how to thank for all this. Thank you everyone, Jeg elsker dig! <3

First official day here.

Today is my first official day here, I think that I'm the first one up, but in America its almost 1AM while here it's almost 7AM. I can't beleive that I'm up this early, its really strange to me, I feel as if I should be headed to school. On that note, I beleive I start school sometime next week, that will be exciting! My older host sister is leaving for Brazil tomorrow! I think that some of her friends are coming over today to say their goodbyes, along with my third host sister who is headed to America!
errrrr.... Sorry about all my spelling mistakes, its early, && I'm just too lazy! 

Well.... here goes nothing

I'm here. in the Orlando airport. I excited, scared  and nervous all at the same time, I've said my goodbyes to my family and my friends. realization is setting in. As I head to Washington i know that this next year will be a multitude of things, and because of Rotary, I am prepared for it all. Without them I don't think that I have even been able to make it this far, so that you to everyone who has ever been apart of Rotary in anyway. I can not thank you enough, although I don't want to leave my family and friends, I know that by leaving i will have new family's and new friends. But as I'm  sitting here at my gate so many questions run in my mind, the most reluctant, is where are all the exchange students? I have yet to see one, and a truly feel forever alone. just one of  another feelings as an exchange student, so as the outbounds head out, I wish you all the best and good luck on your exchange year, some of you that are leaving later in the month or is September will be going through this shortly. I love you all so much, see ya in a year!!!

On Tuesday, I had my exit interview, and said goodbye to the man who made exchange possible, Scott Krogman, I could never thank him enough for all that he's done for every exchange student including myself. Today I went and visited my sponsor club for the last time, I also said goodbye to foo foo, a inbound who's departing Florida tomorrow. As my goodbyes begin I realize that I'm not just saying goodbye, I'm also saying so long to everything I know and love. I know that I will have many great experiences in my year abroad. I'm ready for them to start. With boarding pass in my had, blazer on, leaving my typical teenage life behind and starting my not so typical Danish one. I would like to thank every Rotarian, I wish I could meet you all, shake your hands and thank you for this amazing opportunity your giving me. I can't wait to get back, speak to you in another language, and tell you wonderful story's. So thank you Rotarians and Rotary International.

I've got some catching up to do...

27 days and counting, the realization is starting to set in. I have less then A month left here in the US and then I will be headed to Denmark to become a Danish citizen. I can't wait. I haven't been updating this as much as Iv'e liked to so this is going to be one long update. First off, I have a potluck with my district (6980! Woop Woop!) coming up on the 17th, everyone is preparing a dish from their target country, and also present speeches in our language. I am petrified. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE public speaking and everything about all that, but when it comes to speaking in a language that I don't know fluently.... well it makes me nervous. But on a more positive note, I received back my information about my visa. It's been approved! YAY! So I sent off my paper work to my travel agent so that I could receive my flight details! Within hours she responded with it! I'm leaving the 3rd of August, really early in the morning, flying somewhere in New York, then a direct flight to Copenhagen! I should arrive on the 4th! Thus me getting to meet my first host sister! (Headed to Brazil for exchange on the 5th!) This is all that I have for now! I will let you know when more information is passed my way!  

So I just got done with my second orientation at Lake Yale. Culture Boot Camp. We were lucky enough to have a specialist with us and help out with various games and situations that would help us with my year abroad. Dr. Dennis White came and gave speeches about how to deal with culture shock and how your feeling will be thought the exchange.
