Efterår, my first month!

 A month ago I left my beloved Venezuela to begin my journey toward the amazing Denmark, this month was very fast, a full month with a lot of emotions. I had my second Camp, my Autumn Camp (Efterår camp), there were 5 camps in Denmark at the same time because we are a lot of exchange students, I really enjoyed that camp, I met a lot of people from around the world, I spent time with 2 of my friends from Dominican Republic, I met them at my first Camp. I learned how to say “I love you” in 10 different languages and we had a party on Saturday night, it was an excellent moment to spend time with the other students, talk and dance. At the camp, we had session groups where we talked about how is going our days in school and family, There were guys from Thailand, Italy, Hungary, China, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Dominican Rep. , Colombia and our volunteers from Denmark. We took a walk and then we prepared to go back home, we took the same bus and then we took our different trains, of course we weren’t prepare to say goodbye, we are looking forward to see us again at the winter camp.

When I returned from the camp, my family was waiting at the train station to go to a restaurant, eat and enjoy mi mother’s birthday that was on 5 October (The camp’s begging), I arrived very tired that night at home exciting to know, how was the news in my country because there were presidential elections very important for the Venezuela’s future. I went to bed very trusting, waiting to hear the results the next day.

   8^th in the morning, I woke up earlier than usual to know about how was going everything in Vzla. I turned on my cellphone and I realized that the president was been chose again, when I heard this news I couldn´t do anything more that cry because that´s very sad and bad. In that moment I realized that all my goals, dreams and hopes was destroyed and not only mine, also those of many young people who want the best for our country, I called my brother in Venezuela to know what was happened  and I couldn’t stop to cry. As my routine was starting, I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, my mom saw me crying and ask me what was happening with me, she gave me a comforting hug after I told her, I took my bike to school, crying and imagining the things that I want for my country. I was wearing the Venezuela’s football team T-shirt that day in school, the most difficult part was that anybody there understood what I was feeling, in the recess other exchange students in my school from Mexico and Brazil found me and gave me a big hug, because they understood better my situation. Also my classmates was trying to make me laugh and making me forget my sadness, that was really nice and meant a lot.

   Each day is getting colder and I’m wearing more clothes, 10^thWednesday, all the girls from my class and I went to my home and had a Tea party, so we took the bus and spent time together, it was Hyggelig. The next week we have Autumn Holidays and the last three days of this week we have to make a project, it’s a mix of two subjects, unfortunately for me, I have to take Danish and Social studies (Dansk og Samfundsfag) the subjects that I don’t understand, but they are helping me. This Friday we’re going again to Fredags Café with Karaoke. My family and I are going to travel to Germany in the autumn holidays and I’m looking forward to enjoy it, I know that it will be awesome and fun like all the time that I spend with them.

My third week!

   This third week in Denmark is gone very fast, on Monday I had to do homework, finally I understood the homework, just because it was from English class, I made a Report about the last movie that I saw, it was very cool for me; Every Tuesday I have Gym class, so the last week we ran for 12 minutes, it was like be dyeing for me because the weather is cold but I’m adapting me and every day is better, On Wednesday I was so exciting for my Music class, I  made my homework but sadly for me I forgot it at home and I had to talk with the teacher for bring it the day after, we practiced a new song calls Chili con Carne, my classmates said that it's my Country Song.

   On Thursday I have normal classes, a meeting with the other exchange students and everything was going well, until.. on the way to the train station I fell off my bike and I hurt my knee, I had to be hurry because it was getting late to my Danish lessons in Roskilde, for my luck I found two boys from my class call Paakkannaq and Alvin, and they helped me.

   I went to the Køge Kommune on Friday to get my register for my Hypercard (Card for students) for travel “free” in the train, I returned to school and something funny happened, At biology class a lot of boys bought danish cakes (Roulade) because the teacher loves cake, but they bought a lot of cakes :D I was happy of course! Also two sweets girl from my class call Sinne and Sofie bought a Danish dessert for me (Fløde Bolle) It meant a lot because they knew that I hadn’t tasted before, they are so nice with me and I like spend time with them.

   That day when the classes finished, the school had an event call FREDAGS KAFFE where the students can drink, talk, meet other students and spend a nice time, I really liked it but I had to go home very fast because that day at 5 o clock I went to meet my contact family in Greve, we had a dinner together and they were so nice with me, I loved spending time with them, they are a sweet family, The parents (Bitten and Kim) and the children ( Linea 15 and Simon 10 years old), they gave me a beautiful scarf and I gave them presents from Venezuela, then we drave and they left me at home.

   My parents love have guests so we had a dinner with them on Saturday night, they gave an awesome vase with a Danish design. The same day in the morning I went to a mall with my dad and the neighbors to buy a present for my mom, they are Kim, my father’s best friend and his children Josefine and Gustav.  My dad started to teach me how to play the guitar and I’m so exciting and I really want to learn.

   Sunday was a relaxing day, I practiced Danish with my sweet sister, every day I’m learning new words and Danish expressions, I’m really grateful for my family’s help, they are doing an excellent job teaching me Danish, That day I also made come true one of my dreams, I cut the grass! I was so scared at the beginning but I took the control and it was nice and fun for me. In the afternoon I talked with my best friend of Venezuela by Skype, her name is Maria and she is in Hungary now also with AFS so we were so exciting to see us for the first time since our experience began. This weekend I have an AFS camp in Nykøbing and I’m looking forward to enjoy it.
