Shortly after my last post I received an e-mail from my host family in Denmark! They are a kindergarten teacher, a law student my age, and his younger sister, who is my little brother's age. They live in a town North of Copenhagen, called Helsingør. I will be living very near the ocean, Sweden, and Hamlet's castle. From what I've heard and seen, I will have about an hour commute each day to and from school. At first, I groaned because some of my fellow students are a mere 2-5 miles from school, but then I thought some more. I will have time to see the country (at least the east coast of the island of Zealand), do homework or other things. It's also an adventure. :)
I have all but finished packing and I am at about 47lbs. Actually, I am at a bit less, but if I round up that gives me some wiggle room. I still have no clue where I am putting this computer, but I'll figure it out. I'm just hoping that I don't go over on the way back when I have filled my suitcase with an overabundance of gifts and whatever clothes still fit me.
I exchanged some of my American money for Danish Kroner today, which got me thinking about how they price things there compared with here. I figured out that there's about a $20 difference in the pricing when the DKK are converted back to $. I REALLY hope I'll have enough to do all the things I want to do.
Wish me luck! :D
