Returning Home

So I know that I said that the previous post was going to be my last, but I figured I should tell you a little about being back in Denmark. So far, the best description I've come up with is weird.  

It's weird seeing the changes downtown, it's weird sleeping in my own bed, being with my friends, sleeping 'til 9.00. Hearing people speak Danish all around me. Specially because I still think, dream, and read books in English, and I go places, walking around in my own little world, and then suddenly I'll hear a Danish word, and I'm like ''Cool, a Dane''. And then I realize, I'm in Denmark, and seeing another Dane is not really that cool. 

So I'm still taking it slow, getting used to everything, catching up with all of my friends and family. Staying busy! Which I still need to. I've had a couple of slow days, and I miss Maine, I think about it. I check facebook one to many times, and see pictures and read about what's going on over there, which is probably not the smartest thing to do... 

But I'm getting better day by day, I made a huge book with some of my photo's from the year, and I love it! I ordered some of my pictures and had them framed and, they're now decorating  my room. I hang my American flag up, and my closet is now empty for old Danish clothes, and filled with all of my new stuff. And since I fell out of my tiny bed a couple of times, I gave it to my sister, and got the guest room bed instead, which is bigger. 
My wonderful friends had a surprise party for me, which was a LOT of fun! My family and a couple of friends came and got me in the airport, my family had a surprise brunch for me. It's been great. 

I do still keep my toe-nails blue though, and I've been cheering for America in the Olympics. I listen to the same music as I did over there, and I'm reading a book in English. Keeping the American thing going. And I'm looking forward at going back. Getting closer and closer every day!
