This past Saturday at Tørring Gymnasium was our school's Galla. Galla is the equivalent to the high school prom, except it happens in the middle of the school year. With smaller schools like Tørring, the whole school is invited. With larger schools, only the third years get invited.
With most of my class there at Galla it is nice to see classmates out of the classroom, having a good time. I was with many friends and it was the first "real" school party I have attended so far this year. I went to a first year only party with my class, only because we were taking care of coat check, and the other school party I was away with Rotary at district camp.
It was a lot of fun to see all my friends dressed up looking sharp and enjoying themselves. Galla ended at 2am and we headed down to Tordenskoild (the local club). I crashed at a friends place and got back to Brædstrup the next morning. All in all a very enjoyable night.
Galla is much fancier then any semi-formal back home, and third years have galla dresses like out of Cinderella. It was pretty impressive. I convinced some of my friends to vote for me for 'Canadian Of The Year'. To make a long story short, I didn't win. I thought I would have that award in the bad because I am the only Canadian at gymnasium. Oh well. The photo below shows you one of the votes.
My class is having a "Julefrokost" (Christmas Party) next week and I am really excited for it! We are having it on a Thursday because we only have one class on Friday! Friday should be quite interesting.
Vi ses,

Hi Dillon,
Wow, the gala looked like so much fun. Your suit, haircut, etc. were awesome! Proud of you. Please bring one of those girls home! Your beard, dispite your Mother's protestations, looks great. Your Mom said "I have to agree - he looks good with it!" ..."He does Dana honey"... Now its my turn to grow mine back (just kidding!!!.. it's sad, I'm 50 says Ma).
Anyway, Andie, Mom and I love and miss you but keep up your blog because it makes us feel very connected....less homesickness on either side of the Atlantic. Have fun...great to hear you are in the big town of Braedstrup ... tell us, is it bigger than Bracebridge?? I know that your Main Street looks like ours. Send pictures to agree or refute that statement.
Love you madly,
Mom, Dad and Andie
XOXOX
