21st Feb.

I spent the entire day with Alessandra! We originally wanted to go to the Georgia Aquarium, but when we saw the line, we kind of gave up - and decided to go find food. So we walked untill we came to Moe's Southwest Grill, where Alex had some yummy food (I ate half of her cheesedip ;) hihihi)! Then we walked back, and found the line that was even LONGER. We thought "no way", turned around, and went to the Olympic Park (which is literaaly situated across the street). We sat and enjoyed the sun, had fun with the water thingies forming the Olympic rings and so on. It was great! We took a bunch of picture with her new phone: (I miss my phone with a camera. It's so convenient to always be able to take pictures)

I look like a super hero.. Hihi!

And now we're gonna go to the kitchen and fix us some dinner (Agnes and Steve went out) - macaroni and cheese! An American classic. And then brownies!

Hope y'all are doing well!

Feb 18th

There was a tornado yesterday. Or several actually, but only one was in the Buckhead area.

So; I was a track practise since I am a manager, and just when it was over, I was walking back from the field to get picked up when the thunder something went on. Basically it meant that they couldn't do sports outside, and the swimmers couldn't swim anymore. 

Agnes picked me up, and once home, LeighAnn came to pick me up so we could go back to school and go to Open Studio (3 hours where artist can just come and work on whatever projects or do figure drawing).

Lightnings started to strike everywhere on our way there. And it was really scary, because they were literally right on the other side of the road, on the soccer and tennis fields. Luckily, no one was out there anymore. I was really freaked out.

We went quickly to the gym because LeighAnn had to turn in some application thing to a lady, and then quickly back to the car. We drove to the junior high pick-up-lot and parked, when the tornado alarm went on. Of course, we freaked out again, so we raaaaaaaaaaaan from the car to the school. After a few minutes, we got told to go sit in the hallway until it was over. So we sat there... After a while, they started drawing in the hallway, so they didn't waste too much time. I was kind of hoping we would be stuck all night, so we couldn't go to school next day and we could starve. But not really. Hahaha

I started feeling really sick, and then they called all clear, so I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Agnes picked me up, and I went to bed right away. I didn't wake up untill 7 am this morning. SO basically I slept for 12 hours. Agnes said it was probably better if I stayed at home today, since I probably have a stomach virus. So here I am, at home.

Other than that, my weekend was crazy!

Thursday night was the Valentine's dance. We went to Katie's house - me and my sophomore crew, had dinner, dressed up, and then went to the dance. It really wasn't that great at all. A lot of people were disappointed by the "Argentines-not-aloud-to-dance". Anyways, Carolina showed up, I was happy, and then I went to spend the night at LeighAnn's house.

We had late arrival on Friday - 9 am, so we went to get breakfast at Goldberg's (bagels). It was yummy! Friday night, I hung out with Carolina, Glenn, Daniel and Jake. It was a great night.

Saturday morning, we went to get breakfast at WaHo! Better known as Waffle House (Kind of like McDonalds, but for waffles. Fast food waffle). I got a super yummy double waffle with chocolate chips. I wasn't able to eat for the rest of the day.

Saturday night, I went to Peyton's house for her sweet 16! We went to get Chinese food, went to Starbucks, and just hung out all night. It was great.

Sunday, LeighAnn and her friend Zack from NYC, came and picked me up, and we all went to LeighAnn's house. We got ready to go to Opera (I repeat, a fancy club, not an actual opera). A lot of people joined us at her house. Some of us went to Tommy Dorfman's house (a kid that goes to Paideia - another private school in Atlanta, known for being pretty artsy and liberal) and warmed up. Then we went to Opera, danced all night, and had trouble finding a ride home since everyone just left, and no one had their cellphones, because they were in the cars - but we got a ride from a Westminster kid somehow, and got home. Yay

We had Monday off, because of President's Day, so we (LeighAnn, Zack and Rickman - a junior at Westminster) went back to Tommy Dorfman's house and spent the day with him. He's really cool.

That was pretty much my weekend.

Well, I hope y'all are doing well.

Feb. 14th

So I decided I wanted to make a list of stuff I thought was weird at some point:

-Many drink Coke for breakfast/ in the morning

-Boys & girls having sleepovers are not accepted at all 

-They don't like showing affection in public 

-They do mind you changing clothes in front of them

-It is illegal to cross the street if you don't use the crosswalk

-It is illegal to drink alcohol in a car - not only for the driver

-For birthdays, you bring cake, cookies and balloons. Not the one celebrating his/her birhtday

-Europe is pretty much considered the coolest thing ever

-Christmas is waaaaay bigger in Denmark and France. Not what I expected

-If they can drive, they will. Including going from one store to the other = a 30 second walk.

-Taking the bus is considered dangerous.

-They like being busy. What Danish people consider as relaxing, they consider wasting their time and being bored.  

I think that was some main ones for now.. I might think of more and post them.

And I also want to point out that this is here, Atlanta, Buckead, and probably not all over America.

Hope y'all are doing well!

And another week is about to be over.. Time is going so fast. I will be back in Denmark in 5 months! I'm not sure how I feel about that, but there's not much to do about it, so I'll just focus on right now, and be happy. Yay!

I went to Shelby's house yesterday (Friday) for a BIIIG sleepover with Hayley, Madeleine, Anna G, Anna W, Peyton, Maria, Katie, Claire (Caroline was there also, but only untill 6pm) and, of course, Shelby. It was so much fun! We danced, dressed up, ate Chinese food, did snapcup (you write an anonymous comment about everyone on little slips of paper, but them in a cup, read them and snap for the person that got complimented), talked about how great people we all were, ate brownies, and talked all night. I love these girls!

And today there was a barbecue for the Argentines. OOOH, I didn't tell y'all about them! Well, they have this exchange thing at Westminster with an Argentian school, where both schools send 12 students to the other school for 3 weeks during the summer (it's summer in Argentina now, in case someone didn't know). And they arrived this week! Yay! Anyways, people call them the Argentines, and so there was a BBQ for them today. It was great! And so was the weather!! It was like.. 70-75 degrees. It felt great!

And they are all really nice. And good food. YAHHH! So yes, that was my weekend. I don't really have plans for tonight - just reading and chill at home with Agnes and Steve.

I'm really excited about the coming week!

Carolina is coming on Thursday! I miss her a lot when she is in St. Louis, so I'm glad that I'll get to see her for a few days. And there is also the *badadadaaaa* VALENTINE'S DANCE!!!! Something the school does. I'm so excited about it! Last time was the homecoming dance, and that was so much fun, so I have high expectations! Haha.

Then Friday is Peyton's birthday-sleepover! That's going to be a lot of fun too!

And Sunday I'm planning on going to Opera (this fancy club in Buckhead - it has a high school night every month) with LeighAnn and her friend from NYC, Zack. 

Then, we have Monday off, because of president's day! Woohoo!

Well, that was a short update with what's going on with my life ATM.

I hope y'all are great!

I was supposed to go see Torrey do some cheerleading competion today, but she called me this morning and told me they already left, and so I just went back to sleep.

When I woke up, I really felt like baking! So I spent almost an hour looking for recipes online, and finally, I found one : fastelavnsboller. A good ole' Danish one.

I made all of it myself, and since it was the first time I tried to bake this, it wasn't easy. 

They look weird, and they don't really taste like they should. They're not bad, buuuut.. It could be better.

Well, here is a picture of my 1st (failing) attempt to make fastelavnsboller:

I hope y'all are doing well,
