SO SORRY!

Hej (Hello),
To start, I am SO sorry about not updating the blog in so long. Everything is just so hectic over here! Please do not think for one second that me not updating my blog is anything against any of you! I am simply attempting to intergrate myself into the culture.
The language is doing well. Danish is a very very complicated language as I'm sure anyone who has learned a scandinavian language knows. I was told by my host father, Hans, when I arived that Danish only has five rules and five books of exceptions for each rule. I am currently taking Danish language classes every Monday and Wednesday. My school, Sct. Knuds Gymnasium, is paying for the first two months and then Rotary is paying for the last 9 months. *Note to Rotary: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LESSONS!* I'm trying to learn as much as possible during the classes but it's honestly so hard for me to sit down and concentrate. I learn much more and retain information much better when I learn it in a normal setting, a.k.a. the dinner table.
Skole (school) is o.k. Again, I'm trying as hard as I can to learn and concentrate. However, I don't understand what any of my teachers say. It's like trying to telecommunicate with a crying baby. It doesn't work and just gives me a headache. What I've been doing is trying to focus for 10 minutter (minutes) at a time and then reading my book for 10 minutes. I'm currently reading Term Limits by Mike Flynn, tis fantastic! My class is good. In Denmark you stay with one group of kids for all of your classes. They have also have school parties once a month! Its a huge change compared to US schools. Its almost comical to all of the US exchange student because the week before our parties you can see work men bringing in cases after cases of beer and kegs. The parties normally go until 2 in the morning and then the class hits the town afterwards (of course I'm always back by my host parents cerfew and I never drink.)
Hølbæck is coming up soon. It is a Rotary event where all of the students across Denmark get together for a halloween party. It should be really fun. Caitly, my best friend from Australia, and I are going to dress up as Vikings!
Other than that there's not much to report here. I'm just having a great time and getting to know everyone and everything.
