intro camp!

Now that was an insane week. So much everyday, i have never felt so extremely exhausted in my life. The first day started off simple with arriving a tour then dinner. We met the teachers (all young, smart, funny, and attractive!). The second day was when the long days began. Six hours of danish lessons a day and you may so only 6 and i would say YEAAAA SIX ITS SOOO LONG. They were sooo tedious but luckily my teacher, Emil, was amazing. He was funny, into music, and art. Anyways back to the days. The third day of intro camp was my birthday, not so great. It was nice that we learned how to sing happy birthday in danish but it was more of a lesson than a celebration. People wished me happy birthday, the same 20 people but nothing too exciting and great. I am still not used to saying im 17, it just feels weird. On the night of my birthday there was a campfire and a climbing wall and i talked to Emil about movies because hes a movie buff just like me! We also followed this dansk (danish) tradition of twisting bread dough around a stick then baking it over the campfire....IT WAS SOOO GOOD! We put some jelly on it and just sat around the fire, delicious:] On the fourth day after our tedious dansk lessons our teachers presented us with a surprise. It was a concert by the Striving Vines (a very popular danish band) just for us exchange students!!!!!!! I couldnt believe that they went through so much just to bring them to us. It was a blast. After the concert that was the first night i noticed the brazilian dance parties. Half they kids there were brazilian and boy were they crazy but i loved them!! That night i walked downstairs and in a chill room off to the side the brazilians set up a stereo and were just having an insane dance party, how could i say no? I joined in and it was sooo much fun. They are soo full of life and fun, i couldnt resist spending so much time with them. The day after the concert we went to a place called Åhus. We started out in the museum and it was absolutely amazing. The art was soo captivating and fascinating. I would explain all the exhibits but i dont even know where to begin. When we were done at the museum we set out on the streets. We got set free and we went shopping and looked around and it was a really cool place. Of course i wanted to save money so i didnt buy anything but unfortunately not the whole day went palnned. Some girl tried to shoplift and got sent home. She tried to steal tweezers and nail polish, is that really worth it? I couldnt believe someone would jeopardize their adventure here for two things that ninety percent of the girls had at the camp. I felt bad for her because of all the rumors that started but it was her decision and now she has to reap the consequences. On a more positive note after our excursion we watched the movie the movie In a Better World, it is a danish film and it won the best foreign film award at the academy awards. It was pretty good and heart wrenching. The last full day was by far the best. We joked around, made up dances in our classes and performed them then had a dance. The dance was crazy! Music sucked but we were all to excited to be with each other to give a care in the world. We danced from 9 to 1 am. My legs have never hurt this bad, not even from bike riding. It was an insane week but I wouldnt trade it for the world. Its my first day back at school and i miss all the brazilians and crazy kids that i met over the past week.
