One more thing

I forgot to talk about my Danish Lessons at IntroCamp! They were fabulous. I learned so much and I can actually form sentences now...haha. My teacher was the greatest, and we all had some awesome conversations about Denmark. I learned a lot from him, especially that even grown men can fangirl over bands. :') Haha. JEG ELSKER DANSK!!!

Update:)

Hello everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since I posted on here! I've been busy with IntroCamp and school! 

First, I went to my first Danish party! It was a lot of fun, but it was soooo different! The dancing as different, they served alcohol at the school, and the way people hung out was so different! A lot of people were very drunk, and it was hilarious to laugh at. The girls that I went with were amazing, the made sure I was never alone and introduced me to a ton of people! It was a great experience! I can't wait for tomorrow! The school is having a Traffic Light Party!

Second, IntroCamp!! I met some incredibly amazing people. It was awesome to be able to speak English with fluent speakers (don't get me wrong my Danish friends, your English is amazing!), and get to know people from all around the globe. I got to climb a rock wall, roast bread on a stick over a fire, see the Queen, go shopping in Aarhus, watch the Danish band, Mettro, play, and so much more! Here's some pictures from Intro!

Cecyl!

Cooper is a weirdo!

Ally, who slept on the floor of my dorm for the whole week! Hahaha

Andrew! 

The Rock Wall was soooo sick

Yes. I met Mettro, and they are lækker. (hot)

Getting ready to climb! With Elle and Alex!

Making bread over a campfire...normal..

My BEST exchange friend, Elle! <3

Lol, selfies with the band members.

More band pictures

It turned out blurry but oh well

The Art Museum in Aarhus!

This was amazing, This isn't edited at all, crazy! Its this rainbow thing on the top of the museum, beautiful. It's my iPhone lock screen right now, haha.

Lunch in Aarhus!

Doing some shopping at H&M! <3

The best roomie in the history of roomies. Love you! 

The Queen!

This is what we do before bedtime. Lol, crazy canadians.

Denmark is so pretty.

I'm such a pro!

I got stuck a little..

Fireworks, a nice way to end the week :)

Third, while I was at IntroCamp, my baby host sister, Freja, was born! She is so adorable and I can't wait to get to live with her! It will definitely be an experience to live with a baby! I got to see her today, and take a picture holding her:)

Baby Freja:)

Well, that's all I have for now, I might post something on Sunday about the Traffic Light Party and my 3rd Host Sister's Birthday Party on Saturday, (ps Marie if you are reading this stop right now because I'm about to write what I am making you for your birthday) 

Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yes that's right. They are going to be the best 18th birthday present in the history of 18th birthday presents. Haha. 

Okay, goodnight everyone! I miss all of you in America<33 and I miss my IntroCamp friends <33

Love you all!

PS sorry if I spell things wrong, my English has been terrible lately. 

Just wanted to apologize for my crappy spelling.....my english is getting bad already!

"It's Not Weird, Just Different."

"It's not weird, just different."

This little saying has been drilled into the brains of thousands of Rotary Exchange Students. At least for me, it is a constant thought in the back of my mind, 'Mallory, it's not weird, you're in a different country and they do things differently! Just accept it!' I just wanted to make a list of things that are VERY different from the states. I thought that might be interesting! Here they are:

1. Cursing- Here in Denmark it is completely okay (mostly) to curse. In school and at home its 'f this, f that' and 'wtf'.' That is very different....I'm not used to that being acceptable!

2. Drinking- They drink all the time! At parties, during dinner, all the time! That is definitely something different considering our drinking age in America is 21.

3. Partying- They like to go out to the club/disco and drink and have fun. Actually on Friday there is a party at my school, and I am looking forward to that! Don't worry mom, I will be fine(; 

4. The Windows- They are so cool...I have never had to open a window like the ones we have in the house before! 

This is how you open some of the windows.

This is my other window!

5. The Shower- There is literally nothing seperating the floor from the shower. There is no tub that you stand in or anything like that! You just stand on the tile!

This is the shower!

That is all for now, I didn't want to mention the food quite yet because I haven't experienced everything! I will talk about that later(:

Bye for now!(:

I LOVE DENMARK

Sunday, August 11th, 2013, I arrived in my AMAZING host country, Denmark. But it wasn't smooth sailing all the way there!

I left BWI Airport at 9:40 pm on Saturday, August 10th, 2013. Saying goodbye to my 3 best friends was extremely hard, and saying goodbye to my family, was the absolute most incredibly hard thing to do. You really don't know how much you appreciate the people you take for granted, until you aren't with them every second of the day. 

After 7+ hours of flying, I landed in London Heathrow Airport around 2 am or so New York time. I then went to look at what gate I was supposed to go to, and it wasn't listed yet. I freaked out. I was so scared and nervous that I wasn't going to go to the right gate number and I would end up on a flight to who knows where!! I called my mom, thank god she picked up, and I told her how confused and scared I was about what I was going to do, and eventually I figured out the system...(duh Mallory, it wasn't that confusing..). But while I was in the process of figuring out my gate number, I was chilling in the bathroom like the cool kid that I am. I'm pretty sure the food that I had on the British Airways flight to London, mixed with my emotions didn't make me feel to good, so that was an experience. As I boarded my plane to Copenhagen, I suddenly felt the urge to hurl...so of course the people in front of me thought it would be a fabulous idea to take as long as they could to sit down and put their bags in the overhead compartment. I started to make those weird faces that you make when you are about to blow some chunks, (sorry for those of you who have weak stomachs, haha) and this guy sitting down next to wear I was standing looked at me with the biggest death glare ever, like "if you throw up on me I will murder you." It was pretty interesting, and at the time I was so scared, but looking back, its actually pretty hilarious. But anyways, I slept all the way from London to Copenhagen to avoid any more...incidents. 

When I FINALLY arrived in Copenhagen Airport on the 11th of August, sometime around 2:30 or 3 pm, I walked to wear you get your passport stamped, and went straight to wear you get your luggage. I was unaware that my host family would not be waiting there to help me get my luggage, they couldn't get in that far. I got my two huge suitcases filled to the max, 1 small suitcase stuffed with host family gifts, my backpack, and my small purse, and strolled not so easily to wear I would be greated by my wonderful 1st host family.(:

 Don't mind my awkward face...okay, I know its bad.

This is my host dad, Bo, and my host sister Marlene!

This is my host mom, Benedikte, and Marlene again!

They are such nice and helpful people, and I appreciate everything they do for me! My host mom helps me a lot by helping my pronounce things, and she teaches me new things every single day! My host dad doesn't really speak much English, and I actually learn a lot from him because it helps me to figure out different sentences! Marlene, my host sister is such an awesome sister! She is very helpful, and very nice! It is quite sad that she doesn't live with us, but hopefully I will get to visit her and go shopping with her in Copenhagen(:

Well I don't know what else to write about, so here are some pictures that I had on my phone(:

Rachel, Karly, Me, Olivia - I miss you guys!

:(( I LOVE AND MISS YOUUU<3

My baby Gordie, I love you buddy(: - I didn't get a picture with my cat -__-

This is a little body of water that my friend Emina took my to, it is so beautiful!

First day of school!! Ah! 8/14/13

I forget what the name of this is called, but its so funny and I love it.

I went to the gym with my 2nd host sister, Mie, and her friend and we 'boxed.' Haha(:

This is the harbor in my town! It's so cool!

Yes, I take selfies with Emina' s dog.

We both hate this picture, but this is Emina!

'No shame in my selfie game'

First day of school! Wooh!

Thanks for reading! I'll post again soon(: See you next year 'murica(:
