School and Festivals

I've been gone from sweet ole' Sugar Land for almost one month now! I can't believe that I am actually an exchange student. I know I've always been telling people since I was around 7 that I was going to go to Denmark just like dad did, and now look at me I'm actually here. School is getting a lot better and I am making many great friends. Because I'm in the "nerd" class as people call it, we consist of only 21 people while all the other classes have 30+. On Friday, we have our first school party where the school serves alcohol. Pretty strange I must say! For the party each class must come up with a theme and have some sort of entertainment to preform at the party. Without even asking me, the class decided that we are going to be cowboys! So this is round 2 of the Cotton Eyed Joe in Denmark! Here is a picture of my class.

Lately in Odense there has been many activities and concerts going on for the H.C. Andersen festival. So far I have attended the annual blomster festival, a 3D light show, and the H.C. Andersen parade. At the blomster festival, people from all over come and set up flowers in different arrangements. Then this past weekend we went into the city to go see the H.C. Andersen parade which is a short funny play based on all of his stories. After the parade, we went and ate an amazing italian restaurant before going to the light show. The light show took place in the city hall on the mayors house. It was absolutely stunning. Every light matched up perfectly to the house and showed one of H.C. Andersen's stories.
