It is unbelievable that I leave on Friday. Words can't even explain how weird this feeling is. I am going to be away from friends and family and the country of Canada for one whole year. If your reading this, thinking that I am crazy for leaving the people I love, your wrong! I like this feeling. For some strange reason, I like the feeling of the unknown. I like the feeling of experiencing something new and exciting. Being in a new environment with new friends really puts a smile on my face. Even though I will miss everyone back home, a year will be over before you know it and I will be back! This has been something I have been wanting to do for quite some time and I am extremely looking forward to getting this year started!
This past weekend my family hosted a going away party for myself in Toronto at my aunt Rosie and Liisa's place. It was so great because everyone came to support me! People that I am so close to and grew up with came to show their support and to say goodbye! They all made this party just a great time. Thank you all for your love and support and your generous gifts! Also thanks to Uncle Doug and Aunt Carolyn for that grand entrance, it was so funny! I will miss you all so much.
So I was thinking that the summer olympics start 08.08.08. and I was wondering, who the heck to I cheer for? Canada or Denmark? If you have any ideas just let me know.
I think I'm all packed up. I realized the other day that, I don't have very many articles of clothing. Being in a school with uniforms, you don't need very many clothes. But now at my new school in Denmark, I don't have a uniform, which is kind of a bummer. I think I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb to tell you the truth. It doesn't help that I have black hair, that will most certainly stand out in a sea of gold locks. Also it doesn't help that I have alot of plaid shirts, so I will probably look like a stereotypical Canadian beer drinking, maple syrup eating, lumberjack. And I'm fine with that! But my clothes will probably change within months and I will look more and more like a Dane before the year is over.
I will probably put up one final post before I catch my flight.
Here are some photos of my going away party in Toronto
Cheers,
