Homecoming, nordlys, sne og meget mere!

ENGLICH:

Another week has gone by .. As I said the whole last week was  "Spirit Week" with homecoming in the end of the week! Homecoming was not as fun as I expected. It was really nice with all my friends, but i gotta be honest and say that i missed Danish parties at that time! : D

  - But i did get a lot of pictures!

Friday night, it started to snow. And when I woke up Saturday morning it was all white! Snow in September, what is crazy.

Saturday was homecomin football game, it was so much fun. I have not laughed so much in a long time! During the match was Marta, Gaia, Sandra, Claire and I, and we took lots of pictures. During the break of the match, there was the senior float. Unfortunately I have no pictures from there, but can promise you it was fun, and i will try to get some! There is a video though!

Sunday I was lucky enough to experience the northern lights! So beautiful, it was aroundt 10 pm. and I had gone to bed when I got a text message from Gaia, who writes the northern lights are out! Ann, Mark and I drove up in the mountains to view the sight of the northern lights dance over the sky!

Lots of pictures below!

DANSK:

Så er endnu en uges tid gået.. Som sagt var hele sidste uge "Spirit-week" med homecoming som afslutning! Homecoming var ikke så sjovt som jeg havde forventet. Det var rigtig hyggeligt med alle vennerne men må da være ærlig og sige jeg savnede Danske fester på det tidspunkt! :D

 - Men fik da taget en masse billeder!

Fredag afsted startede det at sne. Og da jeg vågnede op lørdag morgen var det hele hvidt! Sne i September, det er for vildt.
Lørdag var der homecomin football game, SÅ sjovt. Jeg har ikke grint så meget i lang tid! Under kampen sad Marta, Gaia, Sandra, Claire og jeg og tog masser af billeder. I pausen af kampen var der senior float. Desværre har jeg ingen billeder derfra, men kan love jer for det var sjovt, og jeg vil prøve at skaffe nogle billeder! Men der er en video!

Søndag var jeg så heldig at opleve nordlys! Så smukt, det var ved 22 tiden og jeg var gået i seng, da jeg får en SMS fra Gaia, som skriver nordlyset er fremme! Ann, Mark og jeg køre op i bjergene for at nye synet af nordlyset danse forbi på himmelen! 

Masser af billeder nedenfor!

Spirit week.

ENGLICH:

Yes another week has passed by. We are in the middle of the week, also called Spirit-week here at South. It is a week where we have a new theme every day at school, you dress out and at lunch we have "Quickhitters". Quickhitters are small "parties" where we have loud music, dance and funny games in the school halls.

Spirit week will be held in celebration of Homecoming, which will be held on Friday the 28th. Homecoming is the first dance held at the school, non-alcoholic of course. haha.

Last Saturday Marta, Gaia and I were at the school to build the senior float! Senior float is a parade that is being made because  of homecoming. Our parade is being showed off Saturday 29 to the game (American football).

Besides float building i whent to the mall with Mark, Marta, Gaia, Sandra, Sierra and Christine friday. After the mall Mark, Sierra, Christine and I went to the beach for a walk, super cozy!

DANSK:

Ja så er der gået endnu en uges tid. Vi er midt i ugen, også kaldet Spirit-week. Det er en uge hvor vi har et nyt tema på skolen hver dag, man klæder sig ud og i frokostpausen har vi "Quickhitters". Quickhitters er små "fester" hvor vi har høj musik, dansk og lege i skolens gange. 

Spirit-week bliver holdt i anledningen af Homecoming, som afholdes på fredag d. 28. Homecoming er den første fest der holdes på skolen, alkoholfri selvfølgelig. haha. 

I lørdags var Marta, Gaia og jeg på skolen for at bygge senior float! Senior float er en parade der laves i anledningen af homecoming. Vores parades vises frem lørdag d. 29 til kampen (amerikansk fodbold). 

Udover float building var jeg fredag i centeret med Mark, Marta, Gaia, Sandra, Sierra og Christine. Efter centeret tog Mark, Sierra, Christine og jeg til stranden for at gå en tur, super hyggeligt!

En måned i Alaska.

ENGLICH:
Another week has passed. Today it is exactly one month since I left New York, and arrived to Alaska! Here in Anchorage it is 09:42 p.m.18th of September. I already, in one month, got lots of friends, and experienced so much! On Saturday I was at an American football game with the school, it was great! It was our school's team against our greatest enemy; Service! What an experience!
In addition, it was my host mother, Ann's, birthday yesterday so we went to my cordinator, Jayme's, house for dinner. It was really nice especially now that Jayme has two exchanges students.
The two new exchanges arrived on Wednesday 12 and started school yesterday. They are super nice and we have so much fun together!
There are still storm weather so nothing new there, it's windy and storming outside! I've never experienced anything like this before.
Otherwise, I look forward to next week.  We have "Spirit Week" at school, which means we have to dress up every day from a specific theme! It will be fun!



DANSK:
Endnu en uge er gået. Idag er det præcis en måned siden jeg ankom til Alaska! Her i Anchorage er klokken 21:42 og det er d. 18 September. Jeg har allerede på en måned fået masser af venner, og oplevet en masse! I lørdags var jeg til en Amerikansk fodboldkamp med skolen, det var fedt! Det var vores skoles hold mos vores største fjende; Service! Sikke en oplevelse!
Derudover var det min værtsmor, Ann's, fødselsdag igår så vi tog hjem til min områderepræsentant, Jayme, for at spise aftensmad. Det var rigtig hyggeligt især nu hvor Jayme har to udvekslinger boende.
De to nye udvekslinger ankom onsdag d. 12 og startede i skole igår, mandag. De er super søde og vi har det så sjovt sammen!
Her er stadig storm vejr så ikke noget nyt der, det blæser og stormer udenfor! Jeg har aldrig oplevet noget lignende.
Ellers ser jeg frem til næste uge, hvor vi har "Spirit week" i skolen, hvilket betyder vi skal klæde os ud alle ugens dage ud fra et bestemt tema! Det bliver sjovt!

 From the football game. Maybe the weather was bad, but we were happy!

Fra fodboldkampen. Godt nok var det dårligt vejr, men humøret var højt!

 A Danish sign at school! Fun.

De fik mig til at lave et Dansk skilt til skolen mur!

Vi havde "black out" på skolen, så her viser cheerleaderne lige deres tricks.

Hatcher Pass.

ENGLICH:
Sunday, 9th of September, we visited a place called "Hatcher Pass".  It is a mountain range which runs through the southwestern part of the Talkeetna Mountains in Alaska.  It took us all day to drive through, but it was worth the ride! It was so pretty, I've never seen anything like it before.  There were snow and ice on the mountain top.  It's September and I've already thrown the first snowball! Thats crazy!
And Mark has arrived. It's so cool, we are having so much fun, Ann, Mark and I!!
Tomorrow two exchange studens will arrive, they will stay with my cordinator, Jayme.  One of the girls is from Italy, the other girl from Denmark.  It is going to be great with more exchange studens!
There was an exchange lunch at my school last friday, so I met the other exchange studens who goes to the same school as me! I met another boy from Spain, a girl from Germany and a boy from Africa!
This coming weekend i will go camping.  We are going to Mount Mckinley, Alaska's largest mountain.


DANSK:
Søndag d. 9 september besøgte vi et sted kaldet: "Hatchers pass". Det er en bjergkæde som går igennem den sydvestlige del af Talkeetna bjergene i Alaska. Det tog os hele dagen at køre igennem, men det var klart køreturen værd! Det var så flot, jeg har aldrig set noget lignende. Når man var på bjergtoppen var der sne og is. Det er September og jeg har allerede kastet årets første snebold!
Og Mark er ankommet, SÅ fedt. Det køre bare, vi kan rigtig godt sammen. Det er bare fedt!
Imorgen ankommer der to udvekslinger mere, som skal bo hos min områderepræsentant, Jayme. Den ene er en pige fra Italien, den anden en pige fra Danmark. Det bliver fedt med flere udvekslinger!
I fredags var der en udveksling middag på skolen, så jeg mødte de andre udvekslinger som går på samme skole som mig! Jeg mødte en anden dreng fra Spanien, en pige fra Tyskland og en dreng fra Afrika!
I den kommende weekend skal jeg på muligvis på camping. Vi tager op i bjergene til Alaskas største bjerg kaldet Mount Mckinley.

 Waiting for Mark at the airport!

Vi venter på Mark i lufthavnen. Der var storm så han skulle nødlande et andet sted og kom 4 timer for sent!

DANSK:

Endnu en uge er gået og jeg her er stadig lige så fantastisk som der var for en uge siden. Dog er vejret blevet lidt værre, idag er der 13 grader udenfor og det regner. Udover det "dårlige" vejr går det skam som det skal. De sidste par dage er blevet brugt på hygge hjemme! Ann og jeg snakker, ser film, ordner småting i huset, laver mad og shopper!!

Der er et stort center kaldet 5th avenue mall som er et 4 etagers center med de fedeste butikker. 

Udover det har vi besluttet at vi vil have endnu en udveksling student i huset! Så på tirsdag kommer Mark fra Spanien for at bo hos os i et år. Det bliver super fedt, vi har skyped med ham og han er en rigtig flink fyr! Det bliver fedt!

Jeg har været ude og bowle med nogle søde piger fra skolen og været i biografen. Glæder mig allerede til vi skal i centeret igen imorgen!
