SO TODAY IS THE DAY (Or rather, yesterday was the day)!!! Let me just start out by saying that last night was some of the most fun I've had in a loooooong time. And needless to say, I currently have no voice... It was so amazing!! Let me fill you in.
So when me and Paloma got the København H, we sprinted through this huge train station to meet up with some other exchangers from other districts around Denmark. We had to catch a train but we were standing in the wrong place, so we had to run down the street to catch the right bus, which we did :) So once we got off the bus, we ran down the street so we could get in line for Macklemore. The line actually went pretty fast and before we knew it we were standing in the warehouse waiting for the concert to start. The concert started at 8 with a DJ playing a few songs, then the opening act, Chance the Rapper (from Chicago). He was pretty cool, but once he was done, we had to wait 30 minutes in a pack room for Macklemore to come on. But when he actually came on, it was crazy. He had this 3 minute intro before he actually even came on. It was the craziest intro ever. He came up from under the strange and there was fire and smoke and crazy loud bass. It was so great. After that song he started talking about how everyone here had a bike and that he went and rode around today. He also started commenting on fashion and pointed out that someone had a fur coat on (You know where this is going ;)) So he asked him to crowd surf it up to him and he wore it... While preforming THRIFT SHOP!!! And everyone went crazy! We were all dancing like maniacs. After that he sang another song before talking about equality. He started talking about same sex marriage and then sang the song Same Love. I don't wanna sound sappy but when he sang that song live with so much emotion, I actually almost started crying. It was amazing. Then he preformed Can't Hold Us... Oh my gosh. That was insane!!!Everyone was going absolutely insane! It was so much fun. Then he performed a few more songs and was about to leave but we asked for an encore. Which he gave twice. When he was telling us that the management was telling him that he needed to end the concert, one of the people yelled "Screw the system!" (A few more choice words I won't mention) and he heard it. When he heard it he laughed and commented on it. So, he gave us one for song. Can't Hold Us. Again. This time even more crazy than the first which I didn't even know was possible.
After the concert I went back to Paloma's house and stayed the night cause It was late.
I seriously can't even believe that I saw Macklemore. Live... In Copenhagen. Seriously. How many people in the world can even say that... and I'm one of them... Oh my gosh. I can't even.
... I need a nap... :3

Intro Camp
SO! My class went on an Intro Camping trip. First we biked 10 km (about 6miles) to the cabin. Okay, let's just stop there for a moment. So everyone tells me, "Oh, Denmark's so flat!" I call BS! I'm pretty positive that it was uphill the ENTIRE time. Plus wind. I think I might have died a little bit.
Anyway. Camping was so fun. I absolutely adore my class. They are so nice. If I was sitting alone, they would have a flashmob of people come and sit by me. And if I was sitting with them and they were speaking Danish, someone would say that they should speak English so I can part take in some of the conversations too. They are so sweet.
One of my close friends, Dina, got so excited because I could argue (well say yes and no) in Danish. HAHA!!
Okay so they are so laid back. There were two big rooms with like 12 ish beds in them each. And they are so cool about it that boys and girls where in the same rooms. None shared beds! But they are so cool about it. And I've gotta give Danish kids some credit. They know how to behave and follow rules.
OH! We played this game called Pandora's Box, where everyone writes annonymous questions to people in the class. And I got "Samantha, do you thing Danish boys are Sexy?" Of course that would the question for the exchange student.... so I said, "Better than American boys," and I got cheered by my entire class for a good two minutes. haha Good times

Tivoli!!
Okay so, Tivoli is probably the best place on this Earth. It's like Disneyland but cleaner and more fun!! AHH! It's so great. It's got these amazing rides. Like this one

When you are at the top, you can literally see all of Copenhagen!!
And then this one.

It goes super fast and you spin in a circle while going around the giant cirlce. '
And...

It goes up 65 meters and then just drops Straight down.
and..

This one is having it's 100 birthday next year
By far the coolest place ever!!!

Well...
Well... me and Paloma got on the wrong bus and ended up in Copenhagen instead of Nærum (which is the opposite direction). So instead of going to school we walked around Copenhagen because it was already noon. Haha. Always interesting living in Denmark
