Greece And Back

Since the last Post many things have happened. For one i had to cancel my Bake Sale. There was supposed to be a huge storm that weekend but it really did not happen until later on in the following week. I may reschedule but I don’t really know if i can. Besides that I went to a Jule-fest with my class, it was really boring as most parties are since i do not drink. My classmates just drank and listened to really loud music and eventually at midnight i left.

Danish traditions soon set in. In no time it seemed that school was drawing to a close and on the last day before break, we had a gift exchange in my class. i received chocolate. I also picked a wonderful year to come here. I had been told that it never snowed much and because of that school would never be cancelled. Both happen two weeks ago, the snow was up to my high shin if not my knee in places. I learned that you can not ride a bike through snow very well. I will put up photos of what i apparently did to my bike. The back tire of my bike is severely bent.

A few days after the beginning of break, Rasmus (Middle Host Brother) arrived, and shortly later it was Christmas. We had about 14 people here and i went to church. We had a snowball fight, danced around the tree, sang songs in danish, and most of that after we had eaten. The food was wonderful, we had chicken and potatoes and honey glazed potatoes and cabbage and things like that. After the main meal we had a dessert game. we had a sort of rice pudding that was white, my host mom put a peeled almond into the pudding. We each took a few scoops and whoever had the almond got an extra gift. I found it in my pudding and the i got a box of licorice fudge. I have not eaten it.

Now for the other gifts i got. from my bio family i received; box of bunny suicide postcards, remote controlled car, key-chain breathalyzer,  info on condoms, an MP3 player, and a Swiss military watch.

From my Host family i recieved; A book on Fredericia, an ipod shuffle, a grey house coat, that is all i believe.

Now i am just enjoying my last week before school resumes and I join a different class then i had been in before the break. I hope you all had good holidays. Happy New Years and I have a question for you guys. If you received gifts, what was your favorite gift? Have fun, don’t forget to subscribe and comment.
