Hi out there!

So today is September 4th I think, and I haven't updated my blog for a while, and I have an excuse for that! One week after I arrived my best friend Mr. Computer died, so I haven't had time to make a blog. But I guess my mom and dad miss me so much since they wanted to send me a macbook! So now I can make my blogs!

Since last time

So a lot of things had happened since last blog.

My host family have taken me around in Vegas, so much as they could, because their work started before the kids and I started in school,we have spend a lot of time home to. But we have been visiting the Strip a couple of time, which I really enjoyed, I like being there because everything is so big around you! and Vegas is a beautiful city, but it's beautiful at night time, all the lights is not to describe! We went to a Cheap Trick concert which was very good, it was at Paris Hotel. They also took me all the way to Arizona, or Hover Dam which was very beautiful, but it was very hot! I dont think I have been a place before where it was that hot!! After hover dam we went to Lake meat which is a big lake here in Vegas, or in Boulder City which is right next to Vegas. The lake had a Beach, where a lot of people hangout with their yetski, which I thought was awesome, and the lake was also very beautiful!

Welcome party

Last weekend there was this Welcome party for the kids who lives in Vegas! Everybody had to bring a dish which represent our own country, and I made hindbærsnitter which is a danish kage, I had some problems making it, but it seems to everybody liked it because I didn't even got a piece by myself before it was gone. I had a blast to the welcome party, there where a lot of students from the camp, so it was so good to see them again! I also met a lot of other exchange student that I haven't seen before, so I was good too, to meet new people!

First week of school

So monday August 30. I had my first day of school!The school I attend to is Arbor View, a brand new school almost! Which around 3000 students. I live very close to the school, it takes me 10 min to go there, I just have to walk out of the gate, and then I can see the school. First school day was crazy, first I had to go to my homeroom, where I got a lot of papers to sign, and information, and then I used the rest of the day to walk around to the classes to get more papers that I have to sign. The school is very big, so I had a lot of problems finding my classes. But the most stupid part is classrooms from 100-999 is down stairs, and classrooms from 1000-2000 is upstairs, and my schedule is 604, 1104,721,1101,703,1207 that's the number of the class, so everytime I have to go to a new class, I have to go up and down! So I could pick to classes by myself, the rest was mandatory . I picked Appd Comm (Broadcasting) where we are making movies, and news at the school. And then I picked International Relations, where we are talking about problems in the world. The rest us American Literature H, Genetics H, Algebra H, and U.S Government H. The most of my classes is H and seniors classes, and H is honor which is a class for clever kids I guess, it's harder than a normal class, so some of the classes is really hard, so I want to see if I can change some of them, which isn't easy at all. So So there is to lunches and both of them is 30 minutes, and lunch use to be the best part of the school! But to be honest I dont like the lunch! It's so crowded, there is no where to sit because there is not tables and chairs enough, you cant find you friends because there is people all over the place, and then you use 5min of the lunch to go to the area, and 5 min going back. 2 years ago there was this accident at Centenial high school, it was these student who went out to lunch to eat, and then they had to hurry back not to be late for there classes, so they crashed and died, and because of that, the schools in Vegas/ Clark Country wont allow you to go outside in school time, so the school alreay starts at 7am they lock all the doors! And that's one of the reasons that it's so crowded. So first week of school is over, and I dont like it so much, it's not easy to get friends at all, I didn't thought it would be that hard, but it is! From a school in Denmark where you have all the classes together with the same people it's so much easier, cause you are getting so much closer! But I dont know, cause I have only been there for a week. But I haven't got any friends for real. Another thing is we get A LOT of homework, really!! Every single day this week I had homework, and now I work on a power point! But that's how high school is!

Football game

So friday even

ing our football boys had a homegame, and I went there together with Kaila, a girl I met in

my broadcasting class, and Jessi which is my host moms goddaughter! The game started 7pm and we came exactly 7pm, and of course there where a big line! So we waited 35min before we came in! Before we went in, we have to go through this metal detector, and they had to look in our bags, which surprised me a lot! There where 6 police men at the game, because there where rumors about a fight. There where a lot of people, and there where even a helicopter to film. We didn't really watch the game, we just talked, but of course our football guys won! It's funny cause some of the things is really like in the movies! The football guys is the hot guys, and they are dating the cheerleaders.

Things todo this month

So this weekend is a long one, kind of.. School is of on monday because it's labor day, and there is this pool think at the Strip tomorrow with the exchange students I maybe will go to.

Next weekend there is block party, and my host family said I could invited some friends to come, so I think that's going to be fun.

The week after from Thursday 16th to saturday or sunday all the exchange students is going up to Mt. Charleston which is a mountain 20 minutes away from here, where we are

going to learn stuff a things I guess.

The week after that, my host family and I are going to LA in California, to this big Italy fiesta

My host family is the party people, and they like to make big deal out of traditions

which I really like! Anyways they told me I could invited people over, make a pool

party when every I wanted, so I hope I have time for that in this month too.

I guess that's all for now!

Take care, and have fun!

Love Pat
