To be honest!

To be honest I am a little bit tired of America! Not of the people, the school or anything like that!! But I am tired of the way of life! I am tired of living out of town (16 miles/22 km)! I am tired of needing people to drive me! I am tired of not seeing any body but the people at the school, and not get out as much! I am tired of the food, do everything really have to taste like garlic or be fried? I tired of not living a place where I can just go get what I am missing (shopping or groceries) I am tired of not having my own TV! (Haha) I am tired of slow internet connections, I am tired of the fact that there is no public transportation! I am tired of so many freaking things, but hey that will change when I go home! (I am not writing this to be negative, this is just to be honest and when you are a foreign exchange student you have to except that everything aren't like you are used for it to be!

I just miss you, is there anything wrong with that?

If Grandma had a meaning
I'll tell you what it'd be
if you were close to yours
like mine was close to me

Grandmas are always there
to lend a shoulder and dry your tears
to comfort you in everything
and help conquer all your fears

Despite all the wrong you've done
and all the wrong you'll do
a grandma will always be there
and unconditionally will love you

A grandma will inspire you
to follow your every dream
she tells you “you won’t be alone"
because you're going to be a team

Grandmas are always busy
although their hearts are tame
they tell everyone about you
so everyone knows your name

Grandmas will keep everything
from when you're young till now
and when you dance on Broadway
for her you'll take a bow

Without grandmas we'd be lost
and our tears would not be dry
and we would not be encouraged
to spread our wings and fly

To my grandma I say "Thank you"
My heart will always be
with you every day, and I know
you're here with me.

saterday! yet another day of nothing!!

Can you give me another try?

I would like another try, try to blog a little more through out the next (my last) couple of months!! My plan is to keep my blog going when I go back to Denmark, to write in English!! so my friends here can see how life is like in a Suburb, how life is like in Denmark, in Europe, you get the idea!!

So I will try again to keep bloggen, often!! I hope this time, I won't promise because I am not good at keeping them about this blogging thing, but I will try!! Thx guys! I will TRY!!!

C'ya!! - Siri

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!!

so sorry!!

Undskyld for den manglene bloggen!! Ville bare lige dele nogle billeder fra min dejlige aften på golfbanen og aftensmad i klubhuset til en skolepengeindsamling!! Tvillinger, jeg og dreng der hedder Jalen gik ud med mine køler og slog ud og pottede!!

Finally Free

I know it is forever since I blogged! Have just been doing so much lately!! Just wanted to share my new favorite song with you'll! I absolutly love this song, and it is really good to describe your feelings if somebody loved passes away! It is from the show Make It or Break It, which is my favorite show! It is Josie Loren (Kaylie Cruz in the show) and Johnny Pacar (Damon Young in the show) that sings it!!!!
Lyrics:
Like a shooting star across the sky
Kissed the clouds and softy sighed
Goodbye
So I stare into the galaxy
And trace the path that used to be
That used to be your light.
I try to make the seconds last
Pretend the moment hasn’t passed
Wishing on a fallen star
Won’t change the truth of where you are.
Still I miss you
And I wish you everything that heaven holds
I pray with all my might.
Still I miss you
And I wish you everything that heaven holds
And when you go to sleep tonight
Your soul is finally free
Finally free
Finally free

Jeg savner min mor og far: Det at vide at der er nogen lige der med en hjælpende hånd, nogen der kender dig ud og ind..
Jeg savner mine brødre, nogen at fjolle med og nogle at have det sjovt med!!

Jeg savner det danske vejr!! det lyder måske rimeligt sindsygt, men der er intet så godt som en mørk efterårsaften hvor det regner udenfor, og som danske sommerer med skyer på himlen!! :) 

Jeg savner god gammeldags dansk mad som frikadeller og flæskesteg!! og selvfølge aller mest det mad min far laver :D

Jeg savner at have mit eget TV!! det er bare så meget nemmere når man selv bestemmer over fjernbetjeningen..

Jeg savner min cykel! at kunne komme rundt alene og ikke skulle have nogle til at kører dig!!

Jeg savner en god internet forbindelse!! Det er virkelig det værste ikke at kunne se en youtube video uden at stoppe den 10 gange for at loade! 

Jeg savner at bo tæt på min skole og venner, og gøre som jeg selv vil! 

Jeg savner at bo tæt på et shopping center, og kunne tage derhen når man bare keder sig!!

Jeg savner sushi!! det er åbenbart ikke kommet til Mobridge endnu!

Jeg savner min dyne og radiator!! det her tæppe løsning og en lille "varmer" går ingen godt!!

Jeg savner at må drikke, og blive set på som et barn!

Jeg savner lakrids!!

Jeg savner at kun have korte skoledage.. men de bliver jo også lange i gymnasiet, så hvad nytter det!!

Jeg savner mine bedsteforældre, (især dig mormor) mine fætre, kusiner, onkler, tanter og resten af min familie!

Jeg savner at min mor ordner vasketøj!!

Jeg savner at sommerne i Frankrig!

Jeg savner mine danske venner!!!

Jeg savner vores familie venner, og alle mine bekendte!!

Jeg savner at spise lagkage til fødselsdag og se dannebrog flagre i vinden!!!

JEG SAVNER OH SÅ MANGE TING!! MEN DE ER DER JO NÅR JEG KOMMER HJEM IGEN!! VED ALDRIG HVORNÅR JEG KOMMER HER OVER IGEN, OG ER HELT SIKKERT PÅ AT LISTEN BLIVER LÆNGERE MED TING JEG VIL SAVNE!! <3

XoXo Siri

p.s Mormor jeg savner dig, men du er her med mig! Hænger rundt om min hals, i Dagmar-korset du gav mig, der har været dit! Du er med mig på billedet på min væg over min seng, billedet i mit skab på skolen og i mit hjerte!! Jeg savner dig oh så meget, men du skal vide jeg har det godt! :) Jeg elsker dig K.H din datterdatter!

A new goal to consider!

Jeg har sat mig selv et maal! Ved ikke om jeg kan overholde det, jeg haaber det!! men maa ogsaa sige at jeg er bange for at jeg ikke kan! Maalet er at lave et indlaeg hver eneste dag!! Lad os nu se hvordan det gaar :) men jeg vil proeve!! Maaske kommer der to eller tre paa en dag, hvem ved!!

Lige nu har jeg studiehall!! Jeg er flygtet paa bibloteket! Mandag studiehall er altid den vaerste og denne i dag er kun endnu vaerer!! Normalt har jeg Mr. Szczur i studiehall om mandage, han er ogsaa min Geometri laerer, og i det er han dygtig og har styr paa os da vores klasse er forholdsvis lille!! Men studiehall er et mess!! 29 elever der er traette og gaar ikke andet ind at snakke!! Det bliver hurtigt hoejlydt og han ved bestemt ikke hvordan han skal styrer os!! Men i dag blev vores studiehall flyttet til Mrs. McCorkle's, da Mr. Szczur hade et moede!! Mrs. McCorkle er den vaerste laerer nogen sinde, og uh hvor er jeg glad for at jeg kun har hende i studiehall paa tirsdage, torsdage og fredage!!! Hun er saa gammeldags og irreterende!! Hun underviser i spansk og AP-Lit (advanced litterature)!! Nogen gange er jeg virkelig ked af at min guidence councler (uddannelses vejleder) ikke ville lade mig tage spansk med den begrundelse at jeg kunne snak nok sporg i forvejen, men jeg kan da ogsaa vaere glad for det, med tanken om at jeg skulle have haft Mrs. McCorkle som laerer!!!  Saa nu sidder jeg her paa bibloteket!! Alles elever fristed!! Jo her er regler, men der er ingen laerer der raaber af en kun en gammel venlig biblotikar!!! Her er den lygt at biblotek og gamle boeger som er saa vidunderlig og det er en befrielse naar for et pas fra en laerer saa man maa gaa her ned :)
Nu vil jeg slutte af!! God mandag folkens, nyd den!! Jeg selv har kun 17 minnuters skole tilbage og saa har jeg fri!! Dejligt!! Vi Ses :D

XoXo Siri!

I don't know how to feel about life!!

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! But I want to soooo bad!! I love my friends here, I love life here even though it is totally opposite than Frederiksberg and Copenhagen!!

I am sad! And overly happy about all my great friends and host family!! I am Excited and scared!! I have every emotion in me right now!! and I don't know what to do with my self I just wanna protest and go back in time to when school started and I still had 10 months left!!!

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!!!!!! 

So dear God is there anyway we can combine it all?? Please?? 

Can I switch two Brothers out with 6? Can I switch 1 mother out with 2? Can I switch 1 father out 2? Can I switch being sisterless out with 3? Can I switch 1 family out with 2?

I know I already have but I don't wanna leave one to have the other!!! 

I am so lucky that I not only have 1 dad, I have to!! But I want 2 at the same time, not 1 at a time!!

my 2nd dad!!

I am so lucky that I not only have 1 mom, I have to!! But I want 2 at the same time, not 1 at a time!!

my 2nd mom <3

Before 2011 I only had one little brother and he is the best!! I love u Johan <3

But know I don't only got 1, or 2!! Kreg <3

I got 3!! Josh <3

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!
