Hilton Head 08!!

We went on a chorus trip this weekend, to Hilton Head, in South Carolina. It was a-m-a-zing! I had soooo much fun. And it was so beautiful..

We droev for like.. 6 hours in a bus (3 busses actually - 9th and 10th grade chorus, 11th and 12th grade chorale, men's a'capella, women's a'capella & the ensemble) to get there. But it was a nice drive. We had fun together.

When we came, I wlaked out of the bus and saw the most beautiful Hilton hotel. I thought "Wow.. this is really different from the KonTiki trips I am used to!". But I mean, it costed 350$ for those 2 days. So.. yeah. And people that go to Westminster can pay that. That really is different.

So, as I just wrote, it was really beautiful. Of course, there were pools and hot tubs and stuff like that, but it was also right at the beach. It really was amazing. I wanted to stay for a whole week!

We had parties at night - one of them on a riveboat in fact. That was the best. I love the american youth being able to have fun and dance, without being completely drunk.

We sang in a church (which pretty much was the purpose of this trip), and.. just hung out. It was a lot of fun.

This week, and a part of last week, I have tech crew. It means that I am in the crew, that does all the technical work, in the Westminster play. I just play the music before and after the play, and at the intermission. So there really isn't a lot to do during rehearsals. 2½ hours of.. starring. Maybe do some homework. 

But I get involved, and the people are nice, so I am not complaining :D

Besides that, the PDC craziness has started. PDC is a dance that some club in Atlanta arrange for some of the schools in Atlanta. The tradition is that the girls invite the boys, instead of the regular boys-invite-girls. Which is pretty funny. BUT the thing is, that when the first girl asks, the rest goes insane, and next day, everybody will have a date. Which pretty much happened on monday. So today, everybody had a date for PDC. 

And the dance is not before December 7th.. It is INSANE. I really want to go, just to experience an American dance (since prom only is for seniors and juniors), but it costs 250$ for the tickets. I'm not sure whether I feel like paying that or not.. I'll see. I have 2 months.

I will upload the pictures from Hilton Head soon.

Hope you're all doing well!

Hey!

Something new happened today, so I felt like posting it in here. Hahaha

And I have nothing to do anyway. So here we go;

They took me out of my math class (because I had major understanding problems, and it was just a useless pain in the ass, since I don't get any credit for it), and now I am taking AP French instead. AP means that it is college-level, kind of. Something like that, I think. Hahahaha.

The thing is that I get to learn how to actually write French, since I already speak it. Yay!

So today I had my first French class. It was interesting. 

Agnes asked me if I wanted a Spanish class also. I said that it was probably better that I didn't, because I am already struggling with getting my English perfect, taking Chinese, and now French - which is a natural language for me to speak (so I go back to "regular speaking" i my head = Danish and French. Yes, very verrrrrry confusing), and then the Danish that I write or hear - all of that every single day, I was afraid that I might get too confused. 

So I might take an art class in addition to all this. Just so I don't get bored with my 2 free periods, almost every day.

Have a good weekend!

Hey everyone!

How is everything going?

I am doing so great here. People are really, really nice. 

School is going well, also. I still have problems in math, buuuut I'm working on it. I got a tutor, that can help me, which will help me a lot. Besides that, everything is good. 

I am finding myself confortable with the Cutshaws, and I think they are feeling the same way about me (I mean, at least I HOPE they do! ;D) 

On monday, we went to Auburn, Alabama, Christy, De and I, for Christy's diving. She goes there twice a week. And it is a 2 hours looooooooooong drive! So 4 hours in the car. yepp

She is diving at the Auburn University. It is h-u-g-e. I mean unbelievable huge. So they have some really nice pools, where she dives. And believe me, she is really good. I can't believe that she is only 9 years old!! I posted a video so that you can see it.

Coming up; I have a trip to Hilton Head (the beach) with the Chorus - next weekend actually, and I am relly looking forward to it!

This weekend, my friend Hayley is having her sweet 16 birthday party, so we are going to surprise her! It's going to be so much fun!! yay

So everything is just great!

Since I don't really have more to say, I'll just post more pictures.

I just wanted you to be updated.

Heyyo!

So many things happen all the time. It's crazy.

We went to Florida this weekend. It was a-m-a-zing. Drew had a soccer-tournament at Disneyworld, so we went to Orlandooo. 

De took Christy and me to The Magic Kingdom, in Disneyworld. We had so muuuuch fun! I will try to upload some pictures soon of it, because we look amazing with our Mickey Mouse hats.

We came back later, the same day with Kenneth. He went on all the roller coaster rides with us! We had a really nice time. 

Then we went to the Rain Forest Café, which gotta be the coolest restaurant on earth, and it was nicenicenice. Even though I was really tired.

It was a looooooooong drive from Atlanta (and back), but it was totally worth it!

Monday was labor day, so no school. Anna invited me to her barbecue-thing she does every year. There was a lot of other girls from school, and we had a great day.

There was this biiiiiiig slide (100 meters long, no exaggeration) on a hill, so we spend the day sliding down the hill, on tubes. Our clothes got pretty muddy though.

Yesterday was Kenneth's birthday, so we went to a restaurant called Houston to celebrate his 55th birthday. He got an iPhone! woooooooow

Now, it's back to school. I still don't get anything in math classes, but I am doing pretty well in Chinese. So it's okay ;D

Hope y'all doing good!
