Guys I am sorry

I am sorry that I have to do this in english, but if there is one thing my mind refuse to do it is talking danish, and I know my dad, my dear dad are getting crazybecause of it!!
I am sorry it has been so long since I blogged, but I have so much stuff in my head!
I am sorry that I promised to blog a lot and I didn't!
I am sorry that I haven't answered, haven't wrote back and that I have been absent from everything and everybody lately
I am sorry that I have to say I am sorry, and couldn't just have done it in the first way!
I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry!! But I am just confused, there is one part of me who look forward, abselutly can't wait till I am going back to Denmark, to my lovely life, my amazing parents, my caring family, and my awesome friends! But another part of me would give anything and everything to stay! To never see Denmark again! I know this sound horrible, but I am scared! I am scared of what to do, what to feel like, I wanted this (America) so bad, and now it is over or almost over! I have so many friends here, I have a family here, sports here, a school here, a community I LOVE!! But I love the one in Denmark too, but they are just so different, like night and day and that is what scares me!! I am scared that I have been forgotten, that I no longer have any friends, no family and nowhere to go! I know that is not true, I know I got the best friends in the world, a loving family and people who cares, but it just doesn't always feels like it! and in the same way I am scared that when I leave Mobridge-Pollock High, the Norder family, Mobridge, South Dakota, America, that I will be forgotten and that scares me bad, because I want to come back, because there are so many people and things I care about here!! I care about my friends, who did everything to make me feel welcome, I care about the school, who made my dream come true! I care about my hostfamily, both of them who took me in, made me feel at home! I care about a community so great, a community where I since day one have felt like I was welcome and even though it toke some time I feel like I belong.. And most of all I care about my self, and that is why I can't stop to wonder.. What now? What is the future gonna hold? I am scared!! It is actually a little silly because I went to America without knowing ANYTHING or ANYBODY! And I wasn't really scared, not that much though!! and now I am scared? of going home? To a place I lived for 15 years, a town I know better that my own backyard? Friends that have been there forever, since I was little, since I started school, since ya Forever! Friends I can trust, who I know cares and I am scared to go back to them? A family who was always there for me, a family who worked there buts of for me, who I know love me and who I love! A family who always supported me and looked out for me, and I scared to go back to them? But I am scared, I am scared! So scared I can't sleep at night, so scared that I can't think about anything else, and I don't know what to do!! It is like I am scared of all the safe, what dumb thing to be scared of!! But I am scared that the "safe" changed or how the "safe" is gonna change!!
I am sorry that I am scared!! - I am sorry I am no longer the same Siri!!

I feel like crying, but my eyes stays dry! 

I feel like am I supposed to sad, but I am not!

Cheerleading is officially done! Even though we are still gonna practice we don't have any more games to cheer for!, which is really sad, and I feel like I should be crying my heart out because that chapter in my life is already over, but I might just haven't realized it yet!! 

I am so extremely excited about my family coming to Mobridge in under 3 months! But it is with mix feelings because it feels like Mobridge is where I belong and I don't want to leave!! But I still wanna go back and be with my friends in Denmark so bad!! I am counting down to the days that I get to hug my parents and brothers again, but still praying that the day that a have to leave Mobridge are never, ever gonna come!! 

Everyday I am here somebody talks about which sports they are gonna do next year, and how much fun it is gonna be!! And everytime I feel bad about my self, because I am not gonna be here next year!

Wish I could combine Mobridge and Frederiksberg!! Denmark and US! Copenhagen and South Dakota!! The Norder Family and the Fugmann/Mortensen family! My american friends and my danish friends!! Johannesskolen/Falkonergården and Mobridge-Pollock High School!! My teachers here and there!!! My home and room on Marielystvej and here on Sd Highway 1804!!!!!!

Americanism Essay Contest

In school we had to write this essay, thought it would be interresting for my readers because it is about being multicultural!


For me being a foreign exchange student, I was convinced that this essay would be extremely hard to write, because what did I know about Patriotism in America? But I sad down and thought about it, and suddenly it hit me: “I might not know anything about American Patriotism, but I have seen it from the outside, experienced it like a culture shock on my own body, and I also know a lot about Patriotism to my own country Denmark and I can show that in my new community here in America.



For me Patriotism means something totally different than it does to an American. In my country our flag is celebrated in a different way than Stars and Stripes are here. But never have I ever seen something so beautiful, as at the first Volleyball game I went to, and there everybody stood with their hand on their hearts and turned toward the flag and the Star Spangled Banner got played. I felled so touched in that moment, that everybody in that way honored his or her country. In that moment nothing else mattered. Who bullied you in recess yesterday or who discriminated you because of your skin color? Nothing mattered. Everybody got together and showed their pride to their loved country, to their soldiers fighting for their nation and for all the loved ones they have. They get together in this short moment and celebrate what they got, how lucky they are for being here, and that they are here together. And that is the most beautiful thing, and it is a thing I will always dream being a part of, but truly never will.



Everyday I get questions about my home country, and I answer them with pride. For me that is Patriotism, showing pride of where I come from, and pride of where I am. I am now unique, in the way that I have to cultures in me. I can show my patriotism and my love to America to all my family and friends where I am from, and here I can show my Patriotism to Denmark, and show people what that means to me. I can show how I, like so many other people can love more then one country, have more then one home and show Patriotism to more then one nationality.
It is standing with to flags in my hands, and a smile on my face. One of them is Stars and Stripes, so beautiful in blue, red and white; the other is my so much more familiar “Dannebrog” red with a white cross.
That is what ties me together, those two cultures. It is my pride, and I am blessed that I got both, and that is how I can show Patriotism in my Community. I cannot only show one nationality pride, but two.

Lange Fredage!

Vi kender det alle sammen! De der dage hvor alt man har lyst til at tage hjem og sove!! Selvom det er fredag og jeg glaeder mig til weekend, saa er jeg nu kl. 14.52 ved at faa for meget!
Det er 8. og sidste time for i dag, paa skemaet staar TTA/Studiehall! TTA staar for teaming time, hvilket betyder at timen ud over bare at vaere lektietime ogsaa er karaktertime! Hver fredag skal vi med vores Teaming Teacher se paa vores karaktere og beslutte hvad vi kan goere bedre! Da jeg er saa heldig at min efternavn starter med F er jeg altid en af de foerste til at komme til, hvilket betyder jeg kan bruge resten af dagen paa at lave ingenting!! JAA!! Dejligt for mig er det at jeg ingen lektier har denne weekend og kan bare slappe af!! Nu venter jeg bare paa at uret slaar 15.17 og at skoleklokken ringer ud!!
Saa staar den nemlig paa weekend!! JAA!! eller mere paa cheer, ing afslapning! For kl. 16 gaar turen til Gettysburg (By ca. 1 1/2 time fra Mobridge) for at cheer'e for pigernes basketball's region champinships!! Skal nok bilve sjovt :D

Jeg er simpelthen saa traet og orker det ikke selvom jeg ved at vi for det sjovt!! Jeg var sent oppe igaar for at faerdig skrive mit essay til en essay konkurrence min skole er med i! "How can you show patriotism in your community?" hed emnet, jeg var i lang tid paa bar bund om hvad jeg skulle skrive, men fandt ud af det efter en god snak med min U.S History laerer! Jeg vil senere udgive essay'et her paa bloggen, da jeg mener det kunne passe godt in med mit multikulturelle liv!!

God Weekend folkens her fra Mobridge og GOOD LUCK MPHS LADY TIGERS <3

Undskyld for mine manglene danske tegn, skrev dette paa en skolecomputer!

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

Mobridge :D

Så kom informationen endelig
Familien Wientjes i Mobridge, South Dakota.. Jeg kommer til at gå på Mobridge-Pollock High School. I familien er der en Mor, Far ,en datter på 9, en søn på 5 og en på 1 år :D

SOUTH DAKOTA here i come :D

Hej,

Så kom dagen endelig jeg fik en stat.. Familien var allerede kommet, men jeg vidste bare ikke noget, andet ind at jeg skulle bo sammen med en udveksling elev fra Finland.
Men så mandag, en gang hen af aftenen, (da jeg var helt sikker på der ikke skete mere den dag) fik min far en mail fra STS hvor der stod:

Hej Siri, 

Jeg beklager at jeg stadig ikke har fået oplysninger på familien i USA, men det er lige på trapperne.
Jeg kan dog allerede fortælle dig at det et i den smukke stat South Dakota, så det er næsten så Amerikansk som det kan blive.
Vender tilbage så snart jeg har familie info til dig. 

Ha' en god aften.

Mount Rushmore som ligger i South Dakota.. 

Jeg var så glad, jeg gik på det samme på nettet for at finde ud af alt om South Dakota (hvilket tog meget land tid, da jeg var i sommerhus hvor forbindelsen er meget dårlig.) Jeg kunne næsten ikke sove den aften, af bare spænding på yderlige informationer dagen efter, de kom bare aldrig.. Dagene gik og det blev weekend uden jeg havde fået nogen yderlige informationer.. Nu venter jeg i spænding til i morgen hvor der forhåbentlig kommer nogle informationer om: Afrejsedato, familien, skolen, byen osv..
