5 måneder i Danmark

5 month video

Incase you haven't seen on facebook. Today is my 5 month anniversary with Denmark. It is a bitter sweet day because while I am so happy that I have been here for 5 months, it also marks the halway point of my exchange, meaning I am almost done. I have mixed emotions about that as well. I love my exchange and everyone in it. I would never trade this year for anything. But there are things that I miss about home as well. There is a part (However small it may be) that is wanting to see my family, but that part is over ridden by my desire and love for everything here. I love it here and may the next 5 months be as memorable as the first..

"5 måneder i Danmark..
5 months in Denmark...

I cannot beliee that it is already 5 months, that my exchange is halfway over. the oldies have left and the newbies come in a couple days... It feels like I was just getting on the plane to come to a country I had no idea about. 
I may not be the best at Danish but I think that exchange is so much more than becoming fluet in the language. While it's an important part it's not all there is. Exchange is about getting on a plane, not knowing a single person in the place you end up. It's about ending up in a country that is completely different than your own and thriving in it. Exchange is the people you meet and that become friends with because you're both homesick for the food or the hugs your mom gave. It's about the memories that you make when you spend Halloween with 100 people who've never celebrated it. Exchange is the unexpected visit with the queen and the scary first day of school. It's finding yourself where you never thought you would ever go 
Thank you to all the people who have made this first half of my year unforgetable." (my post this morning on facebook)
