April and May

Just this morning i decided to count how many days I had left and I can't even believe that I only have 36 days left. The weight of that is killing me. I am not ready to come home and I don't feel that I have truly accomplished everything I wanted to do while I was here. I also can't imagine leaving this life behind. The month started out pretty fantastic. I was in Malta for the first week with my host family. My host sister and I had an amazing time and it was so great to lay out by the pool and just do nothing! The place we went to was very interesting because it was a little danish village hotel. Not only was everything in english but also in danish and the appliances and set up of the houses were all modeled after the danish way of life. It was really interesting to see how in the middle of this little island off of Italy there was a piece of Denmark. When I got back things kind of slowed down a little bit. I was just going to school and doing little things here and there. I went to Tivoli again with my friends and my second host mom took me to the royal theater to see the ballet. Oh it was absolutely beautiful and it made me wonder why I ever quit dancing. It was a really great night and I always love spending time with her. The day after was my last school party. It was 90's themed which was not the best chosen theme in the world but it was good enough. I can't believe that that is the last time I will dance with my friends in this school. It was so overwhelming to think that I will never hear the bad dj, see the drunk kids everywhere, and students dressed ridiculously to accommodate the silliest themes. The next weekend was just as great and sad. I had my last get together with all of the exchange students in Denmark. We dressed up as Vikings and fake fought in the woods and had a little disco after. It was such a weird idea but we all went all out because why not? It was so creative and silly of Rotary to choose that and at first we weren't to happy about it but once we got into it we saw how creative and fun it truly was. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye and for most of them it was a final goodbye. There was an amazing slideshow from the whole year and it just brought me back to watching my oldies do that six months ago. It was the last time I will ever see some of those people and that knowledge was the hardest thing of all. It seems these days that a lot of things are becoming my "last." May has turned out to be another fantastic month. Only 8 more days until Euro Tour and even though I am super duper excited for that there is so much here that is also excited. Just the other day William took me to a Medina concert. Medina is a female danish singer that I absolutely love. Her music is where I learned some of my first danish words and she is just so good. It was so sweet of him to take me there because he just knows me so well. he knows everything that I love. He is so good to me. He even took me on the most romantic dinner date I have ever been on and everything about it was so special. This week we are even going to another amusement park. Every moment of my exchange is just such a gift and I am so grateful for everything and person in it. Besides all of the events, life is pretty great. The thing that makes everything fantastic is my friends and my other families. I can't begin to express how much I love the people in my class and the friends I have surrounded myself with. I have never cared about people the way I care about them. My first two host families are no exception to this. I frequently visit them and everytime it makes me yearn for the months i lived with them. I was told that the hardest thing about coming to Denmark was the people but I must say without them I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. I am so blessed for the people that have come into my life.
