School's out!

Today is my day. Ok, that's not true at all. It's all 9th graders in Denmark's day, but since I'm the writer, then it's my day. Already from the morning I was pretty excited. This was my last day with my class. How could time go so fast? It all started with eating breakfast with the class, and then the caramel-throwing. Most of the pupils in my year, were wearing costumes, while other weren't. We started throwing caramels in the smallest classes, and the last grade we were throwing at was 8th grade. Gosh, this experience was awesome! The feeling that you kinda own all the other grades, because they want your caramels! Trust me: the smaller pupils were almost fighting each other to get most caramels as possible. Did I really look like that, when I was younger?...

After the speaks and giving our teachers some gifts, all 9th grades went to the nearby nature area, and then: WATER FIGHT! Huh.. I didn't take a part of it. Why? I forgot to bring a bottle with me. The other pupils would have owned me, if I took a part of it without having a bottle. So, what did I do? GYMNASTICS BABY! Tried to practise my handstand, and then a teacher tried to teach me, how to do a back walkover and a front walkover. After today I still can't do any of them without support from a person. When I mean "support", I mean supporting my back, not "Go Annette! You can do it!". After the teachers told us, that we could go home, I stayed with 3 friends. It was pretty funny, and we were just chilling out underneath the sun. Talking, listening to music, relaxing, laughing. Gymnastic goals to reach for now: a back walkover, a front walkover, a backbend kickover and a central split. Think that's it?

Ok, it's now! I've been freakin' out about this for a long time now. It's the last school day, and I was preparing my outfit and hair. When I finally got to the resaturant, I met the rest of my class. Uhh.. We went to the restaurant "Ankara", and we wasn't the only class. There were so many people! In fact there was another girl, wearing same dress as me... In my opinion, I wore it best! Lol. I'm a girl. A girl who likes food: I ate 3 plates of food, feeling a bit fat? Nope, just stuffed. Really stuffed.

Restaurant done, next? To the beach! My class was split up; some where going to play paintball, while others were going to an amusement park, so I went with the other class from my year to the beach. It was fantastic. We had fire, snacks, drinks, blankets and good weather. What more could I ask for? Wish my class wasn't split up, but what can I do? It wasn't my decision.

Gonna miss my year.

Sandbjerg 2013

Aha.. Imagine having 8 history lesson in one day. That's what we had. No other subjects, just history. We had this sample exam in oral history, and I liked it. Now I'm not that nervous about it anymore. In fact I have my history exam on Tuesday. Gosh! Gotta study and study and study... Lol.

In the evening we drove to a town called Sandbjerg. There was a private event, we were invited to. For me: an eating opportunity. Not that I'm a person, who's starving, but food... Is good. What we ate, was "fine" food. You know, plates with small portions, even though it was buffet. So, I ate 3 plates with food, and 4 pieces of dessert! Yummy and classic dessert! After the so-called "meal" I went out to play some football with my brother and three other boys. One of the boys was a gymnast, and he did something really nice! Yeah, I don't know what it's called... But this boy was just awesome.

Tomorrow is "Karamel dag" and last school day. Can't stop thinking about it!!!

Looking forward --->

Last year I won the title as "The player of the year" from my team, and then I got this big trophy. How happy I was. This was the first time, I've ever won a trophy! But the rules are; when you win a big trophy, you can bring it home, and then return it back a year later. Today was my turn to return it. Why? It looks good in my bedroom... Maybe it's possible, that I'll win another trophy this year? Lol. At least I'll get a smaller trophy as a memory for my win. 

After returning the trophy, I had to go to work. Yes! My first day of work to be more specific. It's actually an intro, where I get the basic information's about the supermarket, where the changing rooms are and so on. Then I got my work clothes too! I look good. Now, I'm more excited about my first REAL day of work. The day I actually learn, how to do my job. It's gonna be so cool. I also met other people, who were on intro today. I talked to some of them, and they seem pretty kind. I'm looking forward, even though we aren't going to work in the same department. 

Tomorrow I'm going to this private event. FOOD!

Hey ho, lets go!

Lessons today: Danish (I'm done), English (I'm done), physics & chemistry? FTW, not done at all! To the physics & chemistry exam you do experiments with your partner. Sounds easy, huh? Maybe it is, but right now it doesn't seem easy at all. It's all the paper work! Which experiments to choose, put them in order, and that's actually it, but you know what? We got a bunch of experiments! Trust me, when we were putting them in order today to pick out our experiments, we want to do at the exam, I was like "Wow... That's a tree". So much paper! I feel bad now. Most of the paper we get in school; we don't even use it! We just throw it out. WE LIVE IN A BADASS WORLD.

Today is Tuesday, so of course I went to BKP. In 10 minutes. Yay... How funny was that? They were actually making their own QR-codes. Wished I could've spend more time there, but then I had to go to training. During the whole day, the weather was good here in Copenhagen, just until my training. It freakin' started to rain! Football players don't cancel a training or a match because of rain. We continue. Duuh... What's good is, that in the end of the training, the weather became better. Thanks!

First day of my new work tomorrow.. Excited much!

French or Chinese?

OMG! We're having the final oral exams soon! I wasn't nervous about the written exams, but the oral exams: YES. I feel so un-prepared right now. I should totally read some more. In fact, I'm having oral exams in history, Danish, English and Physics & Chemistry. I'm most nervous about history. Oh gosh, help me? Anyone? Lol, I don't need. I can do it! Funny, but I can kinda do everything. No matter how un-prepared I am, I can make it. No matter how difficult I think it is, I can still make it. I got tha power, ya know?

My little dilemma right now: I'm going on gymnasium (high school) after Summer, and I don't know what language to choose in my study line. I've chosen French, but suddenly I realized, that I really want Chinese. I pretty sure, I can change my language choice in December month, but do I really prefer Chinese than French? Hard to say... I'm a language-lover! To be honest; if I could choose all the languages I wanted to learn (nothing about my study line), then I would choose Russian, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Korean, Japanese, Hungarian, Hebrew, Georgian, Swahili, Tatar, Bashkir and blah blah... Let's just say all languages. This might be my dilemma now, but soon it's figured out. I know.

This week's gonna be crazy! Wednesday I'm going on my first day at work! It's actually an intro, but I get money for that, so it's work. Friday, it's "Karamel dag (Caramel day)" and last school day. On that day all 9th and 10th grades throw caramel and some other sweets on the other pupils from 0th-8th grade. Awesome tradition here in Denmark. It's the last school day for 9th and 10th graders because we're going on final oral exams. My class are going to eat on a restaurant after throwing sweets, and taking a rest. Gotta be fun!

One day, one thing...

How to spend a Sunday? If you ask me at this moment, I'll answer "Continue your drama series!". Yeah... I'm still watching the Chinese drama from yesterday, and yeah... I still wonder, why I haven't found the perfect guy like in the drama. I woke up. Not in the morning, but in the noon. Then I ate lunch, and started to watch my drama. Spend my whole day on watching the drama. Even at evening time. I should probably read or something, but no. This drama is way too good. The reading can wait. 

Reasons, why you should watch Asian dramas:
- They're beautiful, funny and very lovely.
- It's a good way to spend your day/week, if you don't have anything to do.
- A good view to another culture.
- Gorgeous!

Reasons, why you shouldn't watch Asian dramas:
- You'll get obsessed.
- You'll hate yourself for not having an amazing guy like in the drama.
- You're probably going to cry. Maybe a lot.
- You automatically get asocial, since you're at home instead of being outdoors in the good weather.
- You don't understand anything of what they just said, at least you have subtitles.
- Asian dramas are long! Very long!

It's my life....

Anyone who saw Eurovision Song Contest 2013? I did. When you watch the programme, you might like at least one song, and so did I. Of course I hoped, that Denmark would win, and we did! Beside Denmark's song I liked "What If" from Russia, "Gravity" from Ukraine, "Samo Shampioni" from Bulgaria, "It's My Life" from Romania and some more. Now... I can't stop listening to Romania's song! It's not an usual pop song; it's a song mixed by opera, pop and some dubstep! How nice is this? And then the song sounds good, which is the most important part.

I used the morning and noon on doing some gym and workout. My plan was visiting a market later, but then I got to lazy, and I never went out. Nope, I was home all day today! Now, I feel fat... Haven't been out, ate chocolate, ate snacks and saw a Chinese drama series. Gosh, I was about to cry. Typical Asian drama series! They always try to make you cry, until you realize how ridiculous you are. Another typical Asian-drama-series thing: LOVE! It's all so complicated, and in the series they find true love, and then you start to wonder, why you're single. Fantastic... I want a guy like in the series too! Lol, just kidding. All I need is ice cream and watermelon.

The presentation

Umm... Relaxing day. We didn't have real lessons, we were just finishing our outlines for the final oral exams. I like my outline. Especially the picture. The picture is great. Wonder if I can get a high mark for that? Lol, not at all.
About 11 o'clock I met with the rest of the "turbo team". We were preparing for this presentation, which we actually had to do today in front of parents and the head master. Beside preparing the presentation we had to make sandwiches, chocolate brownies, finish our power point and buy a lot of things. I was on the sandwich team. We did a great job. Maybe I should open my own sandwich bar someday? Who knows. So, the presentation went very good, even though some of us made a few mistakes, but I can say, that I had only practised my oral text one time. I did it without mistakes. I'm just awesome. For me, it has been a very long day! From 8:00 to 17:30 I was at school! Luckily, that we didn't have normal lessons today.

No stress

I'm good. Pretty good. Almost done with my Danish outline, already did my English outline and yeah? So, at school I tried to finish my Danish outline, but then something happened: IT FREAKIN' DELETED MY OUTLINE! I only had my outline on my USB, and the computer deleted my one and only outline! Freak! But luckily I had written down my points, and what I wanted to tell about. So my inner superhero came, and made a whole new outline. I rock! Kinda...

The training today went well. Felt like I had a lot of energy, but sad we weren't going to play a match today. If we did, then you would probably see a super Annette running around the field, and maybe (not at all..) score a goal. Now, when I know how to do a cartwheel, I seriously can't stop doing them on the field. Every training I do a cartwheel at least 3 times! My next goal? A backbend kickover. When? Someday in the future. Practise, practise, practise..

Minus, minus, plus, plus and a huge plus!

Oh snap... It was raining, and I had to play a match! After the match I was all wet. Actually both my team and the opposite team FC Damsø were all wet! I needed a towel. What's worse is, that we lost 12-1 against them... And I got my right thigh injured. Nothing really serious, but I couldn't play as good as I wanted too, and then I was freakin' tired. I just needed a break! After my little break, I actually played better, even though my thigh was still hurting. I gave 101% of myself, so it's sad that we lost the match. You can't always win.

I actually had this meeting with a girl right after the match. Not just any girl, but my pen friend Olya from Russia! I can't believe, that I've met one of my pen friends in real life! It's my very first time, and it was amazing. Got to show her the greatest parts of Copenhagen on 6 hours or something. In fact, we walked during the whole Copenhagen tour trip, so I'm sure we walked over 13 km! We had a few communication problem, since none of us are PERFECT at English, but we did it! After this day I'm much more excited to meet the rest of my lovely pen friends. Olya and I really had fun, and we both enjoyed this day. She even bought me a bag of gifts from Russia! 

Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day...

Wonderful Copenhagen

My plan for the day was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Then I cycled to the skate park with another person. Before getting there, we cycled through the city centre. Suddenly, we saw a lot of people looking at something, and wow... It was the Copenhagen Samba Festival! So beautiful! And of course I had to get closer. Not far from the samba festival, we cycled past a little square. A square with cafés and it was all just so nice. We cycled and cycled, until we came to the skate park  I skate myself, but when I saw those people skating, then I was like "Annette, you're never going to show up here with your skateboard"... Uh, everybody would stare weird at me, if I started to skate and maybe accidently scream or shout. So, there was this little boy about 11 years, who totally rocked this skateboard. He was so good, and he might have been my favorite skater from the skate park. I'll never in my entire life, be so good as him... I should just stay to ice cream- and watermelon eating. Yup, that's what I'm best at.

The final written exams - Day 4 (Danish dictation and Danish reading test)

Oh yeah! Today was the last day of the written exams! In my opinion, I did well in all the exams. Such an amazing feeling it is, to know that you're done. the dictation went good, and I even got time to check all my answers through. Yeah, if you ask me, then I would say, that all my answers are right, but everybody knows that's not true... At all. The reading test went ok. We get 1 hour to make it, and when 15 minutes were gone, I had made 3 out of 5 tasks. Seems like the 2 last tasks were the most difficult! Luckily, I made it! Just didn't check my answers... Whatever.

Just happy that the written exams are done!

The final written exams - Day 3 (Maths)

Wow.. So we had Maths exams today. The only subject I'm actually nervous about. The Maths exams consists of two parts: One called "færdighedsregning" (we get 1 hour) and another called "problemregning" (we get 3 hours). I can say, that I'm not the best at Maths, but neither the worse. I was nervous about "problemregning"! Everytime we get a test in "problemregning", I start to doubt on myself and my knowledge, and so did I do this time. What's more important; this time it isn't a test, but an exam! A final exam! Said to myself not to waste any minute at any moment. Well, I kinda did. I used most of the time to do my exams, but sometimes I looked up to stare at my classmates. Maybe a bit like a stalker? Lol, everybody does it. Your eyes need a break sometimes, and so do your fingers! Gosh, I was like "Teacher, can I get a band-aid patch?". Seriously... During "problemregning" my finger started to hurt so much. Urgh!
In my opinion the Maths exam went well, and to my surprise: not too difficult!

In the evening I watched the 2nd semifinal of Eurovision Song Contest. I really liked Bulgaria's song, but they sadly didn't make it to the final.. Still happy that Denmark, Russia, Ukraine and Romania did.

Danish dictation and reading test tomorrow!

The final written exams - Day 2 (Geography)

We had some Danish lessons, before the geography test, and these lessons we had, were pretty relaxing. For me. When we had a break, my classmate and I went to the post office near by. Bought some stamps there, and seems like she forgot to give me one stamp! Tomorrow, I'll go back to the post office. We need a talk. I need my stamp. When we finally had our geography exam, I bought my camera, a pencil and an eraser with me. The exam went good in my opinion. Not too hard, but many of my classmates said it was... I can say, that the many of them who said it, don't even try to study hard! This might be one of the consequences. Deal with it.

Rada and I was going to study together for the Maths exams tomorrow. We're going to exams in "færdighedsregning" and "problemregning". All 9th grades in Denmark have the same exam task and on same time. I was at home, almost ready to leave the house, and skate to Rada's place, but then... WHERE THE FREAK IS MY CAMERA?!!
Looking in the school bag, looking in my bedroom and the living room: OMG! It's at school! In the room we had our geography exam! Not even wanting to skate anymore, gotta go to my school quickly on my bike "Audrey". When I finally came to the room, there was a bunch of teachers sitting there. They might have had a teachers meeting or something. It was a bit embarrassing, when I had to disturb their meeting to say "I think my SLR camera is in here?". No, it wasn't. Then my history teacher said "Try to go this place blah blah...", so I went to this place, and luckily it was there! Gosh, I was about to lose my camera. How forgetful I am.

The studying with Rada went good. Studying, talking, having fun and then we went for a walk. Kinda nervous for tomorrow. Not nervous about "færdighedsregning", but for "prbolemregning"! Wishing myself good luck.

I got skills!

Today is Tuesday, and the only day in this week, we aren't going to have any final exams. School went good, and we're still preparing for our written and oral exams. I'm not stressed at all, which might be a good thing. 

I didn't get to be a lot with BKP, since I had lessons till 14:40 or something. At BKP we were making our own instruments. We had some materials, and then we tried to find some sounds we liked. I never got to make my own instrument... How sad is this? 

Then I had my football training. I was a little bit late, but my coach came same time as me. Suddenly he said "Annette, do you have some football boots?", and I answered "Yeah, I got these", then he asked "are they new?", so I answered "no". How weird was that? My mind was like "I do have a really random coach"...
My coach continued, and asked "which size do you use?", and I said "38-39". Finally he got to the point, and asked "Do you want these? My daughter used to play football, but she doesn't play anymore". Oh yes! In fact my football boots are pretty worn, and I've thought about buying some new, but how amazing is this? My coach give me some new football boots, and now I don't need to buy! Yup, this girl has skills. Awesome skills. 

Tomorrow we're having the final written exam in Geography. Not nervous. Go me!

The final written exams - Day 1 (written Danish)

Waking up. Ok, today is the day: The first final exam I'm having. The weather looks good, should I skate or cycle? Ends up with choosing the skateboard. Two reasons: 
The exam start at 9:00, which mean when I'm skating, there ain't too many people on the streets. 
I don't have a heavy school bag on my back, so I wouldn't look like some retard on the streets.
Seems like I wasn't nervous at all! During the skating I thought "Why I'm not nervous at all? Not even a little bit? What's wrong with me? Am I too relaxed? Oh freak, I might have forgot something at home. Gosh, what is it? Duuh, I'll probably find out, when I need the thing"... Yup, all the way from home to school, I thought about this. Again, again and again. Amazingly, it turned out that I didn't forget anything, but I still think it's weird: I wasn't nervous at all! I normally get a little bit nervous! I'm an alien...WTF?

The exam went good, and now I'm hoping for the best. Dear teachers, give me some great marks please? I chose to write an essay about the universe. You can choose between 6 tasks, and each task has some requirements. I chose the one I liked, and the one I felt most comfortable about. 

Keep calm and try to forget nothing!

Tea drinking with the queen...

I don't know, but lately I've loved to drink tea. Cranberry, Moroccan mint, orange, forest fruit, Turkish apple, Chinese and much more! I'm getting tea obsessed now?
Well, there's still a tea I really wanna try, but don't wanna buy, since it's pretty expensive: Russian earl grey from Lipton. The actual reason I wanna try this, is because it's called "Russian", and I love almost everything with Russia to do. If it's real Russian tea, I don't know. Tea from Lipton and Pickwick are expensive, so I wouldn't buy it, just like that. Only when they're on sale. Yup, this girl is always trying to save money. Why buy something expensive, when you can get it cheap?

Final written exams tomorrow! Starting out with written Danish.

Hello mailbox

I was so excited to get home after the Turtle Ball. OMG, the hungriness was taking over! But before getting in the home, I still had to check the mailbox, and then I found this: a letter from my pen friend Nastya from Ukraine!
Wondering if she got my letter yet? I can say, that she received today too. How nice is that. This letter is very cool! The postcard shows a part of her city during the Day of Victory (9th May). I actually thought, it was a photo she had taken, but no.. Bahee,the stamps are awesome.
Thank you!

Turtle Ball Run & Meet 2013

Today I spend most of the time in a car. In an American car! You know those old retro ones, and how awesome ain't that? My brother, my mum's friend and I went to this American car meeting with many others, also known as the Turtle Ball Run & Meet 2013. We started driving from Copenhagen, and then to a town named Tisvildeleje in North-East Denmark. We were at the beach, and no we didn't swim... But there were a lot of fantastic old American cars! People on the streets may not be used to American cars, and trust me; I felt famous all the way. Some people even waved to us! Wow... But the car I was sitting in, was very awesome as well. How clever I am: I did remember to bring the SLR camera with me, but I forgot the memory stick card at home... No words. From Tisvildeleje almost all the cars drove back to Copenhagen to this meeting point, and as it's in Copenhagen, my mum could give me the memory stick card. Thanks mum!

Then I started to get hungry. I mean hungry for REAL! My stomach began to hurt, and I felt pretty bad. The last meal I had was brunch, and now it was about 17:30.

Fremad Amager vs FB

All started with being lazy at home. Yeah, I was pretty sure, that I was going to play bad, when I later had to play a match against FB with my team. Some fat person, who haven't moved around for years, was my thought about myself. How kind am I? Funny, but when we started to get ready, I felt much better. Like a crazy sport idiot ready to run 100 km! Wow, I'm really weird...

Rada came to see me play, and when the match started she was like "GO ANNETTE!". Beep you my friend. You didn't have to do that. My team didn't do great from the beginning, and already from the start, the opposite team was about to make a goal. Our goalkeeper didn't get the ball, and who saved the goal? I did. I'm freakin' proud of it, but I can say, that I ended on the grass with a person from FB. Anything for your team, right? The whole match went good, and we won 4-3 against FB. We deserved this after all the hard work on the field. As a defense-player, you always have one person, The person I had in the match? Was such an idiot! She didn't go after the ball, but the person. It happened many times, that the referee whistled because her, and yes I got hurt a few times, but not too bad. We won, and that's it!

Relax, chill out and just eat

You know typical Saturdays and Sundays? You stay at home, being lazy, surf on the internet, eat and that? Yup, today I had such a day, even though it's Thursday. Today is a bank holiday/public holiday. Didn't really know what to do. I could've prepared for the final written exams next week, but no... The internet is more interesting. About the written exams? I can do it. I still have tomorrow and the weekend. Then my mum came home with ice cream. To be honest I could've ate it all by myself, but no no... We're a family, and we have to share. At least she could've bought some more ice cream. That's what I think. Yup.

Rainy days..

Already from the morning it started to rain, and right when I was about to go, it started to rain even more... I decided to wear my rain jacket and rain pants. No umbrella since I cycle. When I finally got out, there wasn't as much rain, and when I was cycling, the rain had stopped! Uhhh.. I feel the hate.

At school we're just preparing for the final exams, but today we also got our "karakterblad" back. It's a paper, where all your marks in all subjects are on, and then you can find your average.
In Denmark our marks goes like this: -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10 and 12. 12 is the highest mark you can get. Last time we got our "karakterblad", my average was 9.83. Which is pretty good. I've always got an good average, since we started to get "karakterblad" in 7th grade. First time I got 8.9, second time I still got 8.9, third time I got 9.55 and fourth time was 9.83, which was last time. So, when I was pretty excited about this time. The first thing I do, when we get our "karakterblad" isn't to find my average: it's to count how many 7's I have. Unfortunately, I have five 7's this time! That means I have an average under 9.83. Wondering why I got 7 in both written English, oral English and History... What to do? Talk with my teachers! Found out it was all a mistake. A technical error. I didn't get 7 in the three subjects: 10 in written English, 10 in oral English and 12 in History. Which means I have an average on 10.11! The highest average in my year. I think.

Right after school, I went to my job interview in this supermarket named "Kvickly". Not really nervous, but more excited. The person, who interviewed me, was really kind and talkative, and I really felt like I already was a part of it. Then suddenly she talked about clothes, and asked what size I used. Wow.. Could it be? No, wait.. Yes! I got the job! So surprised I was. So, now I have a work. Haven't been on my first day yet, but it will be soon. Excited to blog about my new work. Gonna meet a lot of people/customers: the weird ones, the busy ones, the not-talking-Danish-at-all ones and blah blah.

Then I cycled to the neighbourhood to be with Steph and Rada. We went on a mission. Yup, you read right! On this mission we followed a person. Let's call him "Bob". The mission when great, just until the end... "Bob" busted me. But from distance, so maybe he didn't recognize me, even thought I'm 100% sure that he did. Mission failed!
While walking around the neighbourhood again, we saw these 4-7 ducks. Not normal ducks. Freakin' weird ducks, and Rada and I was sure, that we saw a female duck getting raped by a male duck. WTF? In fact I'm sure these ducks were following us three. They were like everywhere! We even named one of the ducks, because it had a special look, so yes! We recognized them, and know that they were following us. Mission complete... For them.

Rainy days doesn't mean sad days... They can be amazing and funny as sunny days.

Flower power

So, it's Spring now. I see it. I feel it. I know it. And today there was about 20 degrees. Funny, because while somebody in the world think 20 degrees is cold, then I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Wearing Summer clothes? Trust me, I'm not the only one in Denmark. In school we're all talking about the exams. Mostly about our Danish exams, but I like the atmosphere. We all have something to talk about together! No matter if you're lonely, popular, boy, girl or whatever, then we all have to pass these exams. We are one. 

Later I went to BKP, and there we had to do something with QR code. We should scan these codes, and then ask the question to a random person. Questions like "Which superhero are you?", "Does Santa Claus exist?", "What's your favorite sport, and do you play any sport yourself?" and a lot more. A girl from BKP made a cake, and as the hungry person I am, I ate 2 pieces. Feeling fat? No.

The football training went good, but the weather was pretty warm, and I was sweating like some... I don't know! I couldn't even run fast. I felt like I was tired, and all I needed was water! COLD WATER! And ice cream and watermelon of course... When I came home again, my phone started to ring. And guess what? I got a job interview! Yup, that's it. Hope I'll get this job, because I've been searching for one in a long time now.

Romanticism

No no no, don't even think about it. The title isn't about my life... Actually it is, but not in that way. Today we chose our immersion area to our final oral Danish exam. Out of 12 topics (2x12) I chose "Romanticism". You don't choose, what you want. You pick a number on the table, and hope for the best. So, I have "Romanticism". It's good. Really good, but I had hoped, that I got "Evil". Most of all I'm just glad, that I didn't get "Short film" and "Newer novellas". Now, I just have to find a text in my topic. I've thought about to take a story of H.C. Andersen. His stories are just amazing! Uhh... The final exams are so soon. Next week we have our final written exams, and in June we have the oral ones. Remember: The time goes fast. So, soon we have exams, but also soon they're done.

After school my plan was to hang out with Rada and Steph, and then play some football with my team. I didn't do the first part, but I got to play football, and it was so warm! I mean the weather was warm. Come to Denmark, warm weather.

This is romanticism:

Nobody's perfect

Cycling to my football match without knowing how long time, it's gonna take. At least I know, how to get over there. We weren't going to play on our field, but the opposite team's field. The match went ok. Not my best match, and neither my team's best. The final result was 4-2 to Kastrup. I can say, that one of the goal was my foul. I think. Duuuh... Sometimes I feel so bad to football. Like some person who can't play, but I'm not that bad. Not if I listen to what my coach says. It doesn't even make the situation better, when a girl from my team says "Annette, why do you always do this? You should do that instead". I know, it's a good thing, that she tells me what I can do better, but when she like tell me the same thing almost every single match, it becomes freakin' annoying. I'm not perfect! And especially not at football. I do know how to play, I'm a fast runner and sometimes I do some great things, but that doesn't make me a talented player... And yes, she's one of the best players on my our team. I can say nothing.
