So my computer has not worked for a while and I haven't been able to update my blog, so now I post two new posts at a time, so don't forget to see my "Spring Break" one too. :)
It's April 18th and in Indiana it's 4:24 pm which means that I'll turn 16 in Denmark in an hour and 36 minutes :) I count the Danish time, since I was born in Denmark, but I know nobody here will celebrate it 'till tomorrow.
To be honest I'm not really excited about my birthday. I'm excited to answer the "how old are you" question with "sixteen," but other than that it could as well have been another normal day. I'm excited to get my box from Denmark and talk to my family, but I don't know if it'll ever be the same without waking up to singing, breakfast, presents, and coming home from school to family. Instead it's another long Monday with school and practice and then not seeing my host family until Miranda comes home from dance around 9 pm. but I'm sure I'll have fun anyways..
Track is going alright. I beat my PR on the 200 m. at our last meat (person record) and it's still a lot of fun, which is the most important part to me.
Choir is fine too. Yesterday we had out "biggest performance of the year" = IISMA. Indiana - - Music - something ;) At first we went before some judges and performed three songs and then we went in and did some rhythms and sight-reading (læse noder fra bladet) for another judge. I'll see tomorrow in class how we did. There has been try-outs for next years choirs and today the lists was posted at school, so that was exciting for everybody else :)
Did I ever say that I got accepted into pre-IB at Nørre Gymnasium, for the international school there, for next year? I'm so excited :)
On Friday, Nich, Mikinzie, Megan, and I went out to eat and then to cosmic bowling. It is bowling, but in a mostly dark with flashing lights, music, smoke machines and a lot of "glow-in-the-dark" stuff :) It was A LOT OF FUN and a good way to celebrate my birthday. A lot of pictures from everything should be on Facebook soon (:
Other.. I have had a long week. It's been kinda busy with choir and track Monday, choir performance Tuesday, practice and Miranda's confirmation Wednesday, Track Meet Thursday and practice and "birthday party" Friday.. IISMA Saturday and a little shopping today, but still it's been one of my most homesick weeks of the year too, and it's not been a lot of fun, but I'm positive and hopefully this next week will be better!
It's 4:37 now. One hour and 23 minutes :)
And today there is 66 days 'till I can step out in Kastrup and see my favorite faces again! Hopefully there won't be another volcanic eruption then!
Love, Mette

Spring Break
Over Spring Break, my host family took me to Clearwater Beach, Florida!
After 14+ hours in a car, we were finally there, but our rooms weren't ready for check-in yet, so we went to breakfast and by a mall before they called us and said they were ready. It was probably the most fancy place I've stayed in my whole life (or what I can remember..) I don't know, but it was luxurious. It was on the beach. Out balcony had ocean-view. There was a huge pool and hot tubs, free fitness center, talking elevator, and they even opened the doors for you in the lobby. And in the lobby they had this grand piano that played by it self! Even the keys moved by them self, and it played all different songs. Kinda creepy :)
When they came in the early evening and made your bed, so it was ready to sleep in (set the pillows differently, move the blanket so it was easier to get under ect.) they'd leave a little chocolate for everybody in the room.
It was sooooo nice to see my best friend = the beach, the ocean.. again! And being able to go outside and have streets and little shops instead of fields and horses :)
The streets were filled with little souvenir shops and most of the sold henna tattoos (a "tattoo" that goes away after about 2-3 weeks). So an evening when three of Miranda's dance friends were visiting (they were staying right outside of Clearwater) we went and got henna tattoos and we did it again later on the week. I got two Japanese signs, one meaning Brothers, for Mads and Klaus, and one meaning "Dream" :) and I got a music heart..
So other than getting a little sunburned I had an awesome trip and can now mark of three more states I have been (Alabama, Georgia and Florida).
I'm excited to see you all soon!
Love, Mette.
