Update

Well, Christmas have hit the nation. And Christmas lunches, gatherings and dinners have started. My Brother turned 24 yesterday. So he invited family and friends to our house to celebrate. It was a great evening with cake, buns and coffee. Nice to see so many happy people!

Today my family hosts a cousin/family gathering, with all the cousins from my grandpa’s (dad’s side) side of the family. We will start to make Christmas decorations, Christmas cards and all that kind of things, while having a cozy time, talking laughing and just feel the Christmas spirit. Then we will eat together and what happens afterwards is never known. And that’s probably also the best! ;)

Though I am a little sad. Many aren’t able to show up even though they have known the date for a year. And they started with, “yes I’m defiantly going to be there” Reason is that all these Christmas gatherings also is going to involve goodbyes. Many of the people who attend these things are people I only see few times a year – if I’m lucky. So I don’t get to see these people again before I leave for the States. Now there are people I won’t have the chance to say goodbye to. And I really looked forward seeing all these people.

I love the gathering, it’s a few times a year we are able to catch up. We live in different places, have different lives – so I love to get together. But next year I’m not around, but I really appreciate e-mailing and facebook! I won’t get all lost, but Facebook is not the same as catching up in real life. That’s one of the downsides. Part of the game and experience. But I’ll get new friends and an extra family so I have no complaints.

Well something totally different. My Placement papers got here Tuesday. It’s always nerveracking to wait for the mail to arrive. But it got here! And it’s official, I’m leaving Copenhagen, Monday – January 9^th. I haven’t got my flightplan yet. But it won’t be long before I get that one.

The funny thing about these placement papers is that it’s kind of divided into two places. My family is moving from one state to another. Right now they live in Redmond – Washington and will move to Boulder – Colorado. So half of the information: addresss, phonenumbers,  CC’s etc. is connected to Washington. Rest of it: places to study and facts about the new city is connected to Colorado.

So I have no clue who my CC will be. But I’ll find out on the way. I could imagine that it depends on where we will live in Boulder.

But it’s just a fun thing to read, half of the information is useless  for me.

In the moment I have a lot of dreams while sleeping. It’s like: worst-case scenario playing. No one likes me, the family is angry, we can’t find solutions, I don’t get trough immigration, I won’t catch my plane. Everything goes wrong in general. I really hope it’s only in my dreams, those scenarios will happen!!!

I have started doing homemade Christmas cards and small gifts in cardboard. Really makes me relax.

Well, in three hours, guests will arrive. Another storm is hitting Denmark. Our roof haven’t been made yet. So I really hope damage will stay at a minimum!
