First day of classes

So finally all the orientation stuff is over and I had my first day of classes today. I still have another class in an hour. I am just hanging out the the computer labs at DIS. I am glad to start classes bc it will be good to have a routine rather than just days where we have to go to meetings and walking all around the city all the time. i still need to go to all the touristy spots like the little mermaid, nyhavn, and tivoli gardens. all in due time. i still have four months here.


My host family is great. My host mother- Anne Marie is a nurse, but is currently unemployed. She just got a call for an interview in September so hopefully she gets it! My host father- Michael, is some sort of banker/business man. He apparently makes pretty good money lol. My host sisters Eva, 11 and Jane, 9 are sweet. Jane is pronounced like Yene, which is taking me some getting used to. When I first arrived Eva did not speak much English to me, but I think now that it has been a few days, she is speaking more and more in English. I think she understand English better than she can speak it. Kids in Denmark start learning Danish at the age of 8. I think they should start having Americans learn Spanish at the age of 8 rather than at 12. Then people from the US could all be bilingual. I start my Danish class tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to speak a little Danish soon, too.

Tonight I have a meeting for the DIS Ambassador's Program, which will give us the opportunity to go to Danish schools and talk about what it is like to be an American. Tomorrow I have Positive Psych and Danish and then my program's social. That should be fun. Saturday- Sunday I am going on a Sailing Trip and leave at 7:15 on Saturday Morning. Joy! I'm sure it will be fun.

That's all for now.
Hej Hej!
