Traktor og 29 februar

i dag er det jo den 29 februar!! en dag der kun er her hver 4. år, det synes jeg lige skulle fejres så!! HURRA!!

Mike og jeg besluttede at tage ind til Mobridge i dag så jeg kunne få min fødselsdags pakke fra min mor og far, og drengene :D Så vi blev nød til at spørge naboen om at komme forbi og ryde sne med traktoren! 

TAK RANDY!!

Og tak mor og far!! Så fik man sig lige nogle danske blade, et kærligt kort og björn borg!!! 

Tidligere på ugen havde jeg også fået kort fra min Morfar, Farmor og Farfar og min veninde Emma! tak til jer også :)

Sne fri!

Det lyder som noget meget mærkeligt for Danskere især Københavnere, det der med at få sne fri!! men her ude på landet er det meget normalt, da de kun ryder vejene 1 gang i døgnet! så hvis man kommer i skole, og det sner kan man ikke komme hjem igen! Så igår var der "blizzard warning", de advarede mod kraftig snestorm!, og vi fik derfor fri kl. 1 istedet for 3.17! Og i dag fik vi så hele dagen fri!

Det sneede hele aften og natten, også i morges! Det stoppede ved 12 tiden (1 time og 1/2 siden)..

Så smukt!! <3

An Exchange Student

I am an exchange student. How do you know what is a dream if you never accomplished one? How do you know what is an adventure if you never took part in one? How do you know what is anguish if you never said goodbye to your family and friends with your eyes full of tears? How do you know what is being desperate, if you never arrived in a place alone and could not understand a word of what everyone else was saying? How do you know what is diversity if you never lived under the same roof with people from all over the world? How do you know what is tolerance, if you never had to get used to something different even if you didn’t like it. How do you know what is autonomy, if you never had the chance to decide something by yourself? How do you know what it means to grow up, if you never stopped being a child to start a new course? How do you know what is to be helpless, if you never wanted to hug someone and had a computer screen to prevent you from doing it? How do you know what is distance, if you never, looking at a map, said “I am so far away”? How do you know what is a language, if you never had to learn one to make friends? How do you know what is patriotism, if you never shouted “ I love my country” holding a flag in your hands? How do you know what is the true reality, if you never had the chance to see a lot of them to make one. How do you know what is an opportunity, if you never caught one? How do you know what is pride, if you never experienced it for yourself at realizing how much you have accomplished?. How do you know what is to seize the day, if you never saw the time running so fast? How do you know what is a friend, if the circumstances never showed you the true ones. How do you know what is a family, if you never had one that supported you unconditionally? How do you know what are borders, if you never crossed yours, to see what there was on the other side? How do you know what is imagination, if you never thought about the moment when you would go back home? How do you know the world, if you have never been an exchange student?

If you actually understand these jokes, repost this so all of your South Dakota friends and others can see!

Friends will never be the same!

Knowing that you are going home in 3 months, it is hard to become really close with any body.. Since day one I have had in the back of my mind that I maybe wouldn't see my friends I made here again.. And therefor had a hard time getting close to people.. Knowing that I should enjoy my time her, but couldn't because I didn't wanna miss it to bad when ever I went home!! It is not like I don't have friends here, because I do, some closer than others.. Some of them is just a laugh once in a while in school, and other are keeping secrets type friends. All from freshmans to seniors!! But I know that no madder how much time I spend with them, it will never be like my friends back home in Denmark!!
There are people so sweet and so nice, people that I am scared of asking if they wanna hang out, because I am scared, that they will say no, because they feel that it wont madder to, because I soon will leave anyways.
There are kids at MPHS, that I dream about hanging out with, kids that I have talked to several times, and had fun with, in school or on trips, but afraid wont like me after school!!
Writing this I have a special couple of people in mind, people you could say I am in love with, not that I wanna date them, but because I so badly wants to see them more. I write this with the dream that they will read it!! and ask me if it is them!!

I have decided that I am not gonna do any sports in the Spring, so I have time to see people, and I hope that you are one of the people I am gonna see more to!! <3

Urban dictionary: Foreign exchange student.. So true

Most awesome person you will ever meet. Exchange students willingly decide to get off their asses, leave their home country, and go see the world. For that reason, they should be given a helluva lot of credit. Usually, a foreign exchange student will have a funny accent and not speak your language very well. This is all the more reason to hang out with them, because everything will suddenly become that much more hilarious. Also, they are generally young people, and have the tendency to be extremely good looking. In conclusion, mad props to all exchange students out there Damn, look at that hot new foreign exchange student! I can't understand a word they're saying, but they sure seem pretty freaking awesome.

Being a foreign exchange student:

How it is to be a foreign exchange student:
1. Before waiting to see if anyone understood what you meant, you start acting it out.

2. You think 100 pounds to pack up your entire life is plenty of space.

3. You spend a lot of time smiling, nodding, and pretending you understand what`s
going on.

4. You classify "doing your homework" as translating half of it. And that alone took three hours.

5. You sometimes use the excuse "Sorry, I don`t understand" to avoid answering aquestions, even if you do understand. 

6. You want to hug the people who attempt to speak your native language to you.

7. You`ve called every person who says "hi" to you your friend because you don`t really have any yet.

8. You`ll read anything in your native language just to have something to read... even packaging labels.

9. You sometimes walk around the school during breaks to act like you're doing
something, because you don't see anyone you recognize and don't want to stand there
awkwardly.

10. You're better than your teacher in your foreign language class. (SOOO TRUE)

11. You've ever mispronounced something in your native language (for example,
names of products, TV shows, companies) because you know the others will
understand it better if you say it with an accent.

12. You've tried so many different foods due entirely to the fact that you cannot
understand the person asking you what you want, so you just nod your head saying "yes",
and hope to God it tastes half-decent.

13. After you come back everybody tells you that you have a weird accent.

14. Your dreams are bilingual.

15. Sometimes it takes you about 5 minutes to remember a word in your native
language. (Oh my gosh I hate this......)

16. You begin to enjoy food that you had previously despised at home.

17. It becomes a habit to introduce yourself by saying: " Hi I am from (country) and my
name is (name)". 

18. You have been put in one or more classes with lower classmen, because you`re
supposed to understand more there....

19. You are always counting the time difference between where you are and home. (repeat: ALWAYS!) 

20. You do something/say something wrong and people look at you weird, your excuse is: "That`s how
we do it/say it in my country/language" even if it isn`t. I loooove this excuse. Then I`m not weired anymore, haha... 

21. You have gone in to greet someone with a shake of hands and find yourself being
pulled into an awkward hug. 

22. You carry a dictionary or translator as well as a camera in your bag. Yup. 3 things I HAVE TO have in my purse: Mobile, lipgloss, dictionary.... Haha.. 

23. You try to speak in the native language where you are and everyone immediately knows "You`re
not from here". 

24. Peoples that stares don`t bother you anymore.

25. Everyone thinks your playing the tough guy when you say you haven`t called your
mom yet and don`t miss her too much.

Mormor Jeg savner dig..

Hvorfor har jeg været så forvirret og glemt alt på det seneste? Her kommer svaret:

Som  nogen af jer måske ved så døde min mormor i slutningen af Januar, og jeg tog hjem til danmark i en lille uges tid så jeg kunne være der til hendes bisættelse.. Al forvirrelsen kommer nok fra alle de følelser jeg har været igennem og måske også lidt mit enorme jetlag.. Det var virkeligt rart at se min familie igen, selvom omstændighederne var meget kedelige. Det var dejligt at vi kunne være der for hindanden og jeg kunne værer der med dem, igennem denne svære tid. De var og er svært, og det var meget mærkeligt at jeg sådan kun var på på besøg.

Jeg vil detikere dette indlæg til min elskede mormor:

Kære elskede mormor,

Jeg savner dig, og elsker dig.. Men jeg ved at du har det bedre der hvor du er nu. Du har længe kæmpet og det går mig super stolt over..

Du spurgte mig engang da jeg var i børnehaven, en dag jeg var med dig på arbejde, hvad jeg ville være når jeg blev stor, dengang svarede jeg sikkert noget fjollet, hvad husker jeg ikke. Men nu hvor jeg næsten er blevet voksen ved jeg det. Jeg vil være præcist lige som dig. 

Vi har så mange minder sammen.. Vi har gjordt så meget sammen!! Og du er den bedste nogen sinde.. Aldrig har aldrig mødt nogen person med sådan et stort hjerte som dig.

Du var der altid for os alle sammen, var familiens samlingspunkt. Du var den bedre mormor nogen kunde ønske dig, og det er det der gør der så speciel. 3 stolte børn og 8 stolte børnebørn, der inderligt elsker dig. Og det gør morfar også :)

Og resten af familien med..

Jeg tog jo hjem for at være der for de andre, og kunne være der der til din bisættelse. Morfar sagde igen og igen at han ville ønske at du havde vidst at jeg havde taget hjem. Men det ved jeg du ved!

Din bisættelse var det smukkeste jeg nogensinde havde set. Morfar holdt den smukkeste tale og Asser var præsten, du ved Sofie's mand. Det lyder måske mærkeligt, men du ville have elsket det. Altså ikke på grund af omstændighederne, men fordi at hele familien var samlet.. Endnu en gang var du samlings punktet om familien, men det var bestemt ikke den sidste..

Du min kære elskede mormor... Jeg elsker dig, og savner dig.. Du min engel, jeg ved vi skal ses en dag igen.. Men jeg ved at du vil ha mig til at leve videre, så det må jeg jo gøre..

Jeg elsker og tænker på dig hver minut

Kærligste hilsner din datterdatter Siri..

UNDSKYLD!!

Hej søde læsere... jeg er så ked af det.. Men Januar har været en super lang, kedelig og sørgelig måned så det har ikke været bloggen der har drevet mig mest..
Jeg ville ønske jeg kunne fortælle dig hvad jeg har avet siden d. 1 januar, men jeg ved det ikke.. Jeg har været så forvirret på det sidste :/

Så jeg kæmper med mig sig selv om at jeg skal blive bedre til at blogge, så i dag bliver dagen

Ses om lidt i det næste indlæg, som skal handle om hvorfor jeg har været såå forvirret...
