Hello mailbox

I've been waiting for another time again, so when I finally finds something in the mail box, it's pretty much a release of excitement. I don't think I can live the good life without getting something in the mailbox. It's just... After starting snail mailing I've got used to check my mailbox, so it's a bit hard to get un-used to it. This postcard is from Margit from Germany! Even though she's from Germany, she sent me a postcard of The ensemble of The Smolny Cathedral in St. Petersburg in Russia! I really appreciate, that she sent me this card. It is amazing. 

Thank you!

Hello mailbox

A day goes, a day starts. That's pretty much how life works. I've been wondering, why I don't receive so many postcards and letters anymore. It feels weird. When opening my mailbox I always hope there's something for me, but noo.. Is it because I haven't sent enough myself? But I don't really think that's it. I DID send letters and postcards, but I haven't received many. So most amazingly is when I finally finds something. This postcard is from my pen friend Olya from Russia. She was in Tallinn (Estonia) and decided to send a postcard of St. Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral. Beautiful! I love churches like these.
Thank you!

Oh so sleepy...

I was waiting for this day to come! Seriously! First a 90th birthday party and then a small party with my friends. I can say: I love birthday parties. Birthday = cake. Cake = yummy. Yummy = happy me. The birthday went good and I was full. Wonderful feeling. 

At my friends flat we had a killer party. We weren't many people at all, but we all knew each other. Time went so fast, and I don't remember much, but what I know is that we drank, listening to music, laughed and later we even went down to the local hookah café. I've never in my entire life tried to smoke before, so smoking hookah was the very first time... And probably the last time! Hookah smells better than cigarettes, but just because the smell good, doesn't mean they taste good. Eww... Actually a lot of the time I just wanted to sleep. I was very tired, and so I also was the first one to go to bed. Yup, I was off.

Just as I got a postcard yesterday, I get another one today as well! Wonderful much? Most epic is that this postcard is from my penfriend Katya in Russia too! What a postcard flip?! This postcard is from Brussels in Belgium. Looks like she's having a Europe tour or some kind bahee.. I've never got a postcard from Belgium before, so this is the first. In fact, there are many countries I don't have a postcard from.
Thank you!

I don't think I get as many postcards now as I got for a half year ago. I guess everybody's busy with studying or something. Notice that I'm busy myself so...

Today I got something in the mailbox.It's a postcard from my penfriend Katya in Russia! She's in Amsterdam right now. I really wanna visit Amsterdam myself. It should be really pretty, something a little bit a like Copenhagen but still not exactly a like. This is beautiful.

Thank you!

Hello mailbox

First thing in the mailbox of the year! This time it's from my penfriend Olya in Russia. She has send me a parcel/envelope with a lot of great things. What's really awesome is: the great things were packed in Christmas gift wrap. So cute! Well, it surprised me a lot, because I didn't expect so many things a such thin parcel. This parcel contains a souvenir magnet, a Russian spoon, matryoshka stickers, a matryoshka mobile pendant, a letter, a little book from the cinema, a new year card and some more amazing stuff. Uploading two photos for this post, so you can see how it really looked like.
Thank you!

New Year 2014

Today was pretty much a normal day, but on the other side: not at all! My plan for today was go to the post office, to the supermarket, get home again because we would have guests and then go out with my friends. A pretty nice way to celebrate New Year's Eve. Family and friends, what a good balance. Actually it's the first time ever I celebrate New Year with my friends!

I had to buy drinks at the supermarket, but I'm not really used to buy drinks with alcohol, so I didn't know what to buy.. My solution: choosing all the interesting and colourful ones. Blue, red, green and so on. The red one was with watermelon flavour, what a must-try.

After eating dinner with my family and the guests, I went to a friends flat. It was really funny until my head started to kill me. Yes.. I was a little drunk, but my head was still clear enough to think of my mission: to take photos of the many fireworks! We went out to set up our own fireworks, and I continued taking photos. Just.. Most part of the photos... You can't see anything.
GO PHOTO SKILLS!

One postcard or letter is good. Two at once are better...
The postcard is from my pen friend Alisa from Russia! A beautiful postcard with matryoshka dolls on since she knows about my matryoshka obsession. How sweet of her. Actually I have a matryoshka doll at home, which looks pretty much a like the ones on the card.
The envelope is from my pen friend Polya from Russia. This letter contains a postcard from Prague, a Christmas card and a letter. The Christmas card is amazing and reminds me on white Christmas. So sad we don't have any snow here in Denmark yet. Maybe sooner.. I hope so. No white Christmas, but at least a white Winter.
Thank you!

Busy busy

Wow.. It's been a while. Since I started on upper secondary school, I really got busy. I almost done have any time for my friends, which is pretty sad. Homework, homework and more homework... Just because I became that busy, it doesn't mean I stopped taking photos. No, taking photos is a part of my life and I simply love it!

My school is doing the annual musical, and since it's my first year, it's also my first musical. We're doing our version of "Aladdin" and I know it's gonna be all amazing. I went to audition as an actress and a singer, but the act didn't work as good as the singing, so I'm going to sing at the musical. The performance days are soon: 27., 28. and 29 November! Today was one of our practise-days. The show is soon, so practise? Yes, thanks.

Rave party

I've never been to a rave party before, but I just knew the party was going to be awesome. Music, dance, light,glow sticks and a lot of neon colours. Well, I don't have any glow sticks myself which is kinda sad, and neither do I have any clothes in neon colours. Ohh.. Except some sports wear, but there's no way I'm going to that party in my football shirt! Black tank top, black tights, denim shorts and shoes, who was pretty neon. 

So, I showed up to the party and yes.. I came alone. Most people go with their friends, but I came alone. That doesn't mean I was some kind of lonely person during the party! I met my friends and classmates over there. It was such an awesome party, especially the glow sticks made the party better than a normal party. At a moment I actually accidentally broke a glow stick. My fingers were green.. Green fingers glowing in the dark. Yay. Breaking a glow stick doesn't mean it all turned bad. It was pretty funny though.. My two friends and I started drawing on each other. Knowing the fact that the stuff inside a glow stick is toxic... Should I say "YOLO" at this point?

And me? I ended up having, I don't know how many glow sticks. As bracelets, as necklaces, a glow stick sword? Wow.

The Hamlet Theatre Maze - BKP

We've been thinking, creating, practising and much more. Today was the big day: acting! It's the 4th time BKP are making a theatre maze. Last time the theatre maze was about Romeo and Juliet, this time Hamlet also by William Shakespeare. My character was simple. The first character you meet when you step inside the maze is me. I presented the main characters: Hamlet, Ofelia, Laertes, Claudius, the queen and the king. Easy, interesting and funny! Don't really remember how many times we did our act, but I've been told it was about 18 times? 18 times! Can't even remember it was so many times. Can you imagine me saying the same lines again and again, until I hit 18? Duhhh.. But I clearly remember how tired I was at last. We all were. When we finally were done, we had this great "pizza party". We ordered 10 pizza's and yuuuuuum.. I was full.

Anyways, I really enjoyed the whole day. The way we got dressed up, the way we all were excited, the way we acted. Hope there's gonna be another theatre maze next year. BØRNEKULTURPILOT (BKP) TILL THE END.

Video maybe coming soon...

Hello mailbox

Since I started on gymnasium, I've felt pretty busy. I haven't wrote many postcards or letters myself, so how should I expect some? Well, opening my mailbox is always surprising. You'll never know what's inside. Advertisements? Letter? Postcard? Newspaper? Package? Anything?

This time I got an envelope and a postcard. The envelope is from Oksana in Belarus, and the postcard is from Margarita in Russia! Both of them are strangers.In Oksana's letter there are tickets (bus), a banknote and a postcard. Amazing! I really appreciate it,when people put something like that in their letter. The postcard Margarita send me is from St. Petersburg. It's not sure, but I'm probably travelling to St. Petersburg in April or May 2014! Hope it's gonne be a reality..

Thank you!

There's no way to stop...

Having P.E. on my gymnasium isn't the same as I had in 9th grade. I feel it, I do it, I know it. In 9th grade we had 2x45 minutes P.E. a week, now it's less but harder! I think we have P.E. one time a month, BUT it's for a day. From 8:30 till 15:40 we have P.E. Today we had to play football, badminton and of course exercises.

I woke up, did my thing and then cycled to the place we were going to have P.E. This place is located 7,4 km from home. So the schedule of my day kinda looked like this:
- Cycle 7,4 km
- Do exercises and play football for 2-3 hours
- Lunch time
- Do exercises and play badminton for 2-3 hours
- Cycle back (7,4 km)
- Football training!

Yes! I actually had football training today. I'm so tired know, but I have a really good feeling about it. How can I say.... I'm proud?

Party like forever

So a guy from my class was going to hold this party, and it was going to be HUGE. I was pretty excited about this day, cause I haven't been partying with my new class yet. Before going to party I had one thing to do... Work! I wanted to be done with work as fast as possible, but I knew I was late. I had to work 30 minutes over time. Beep that. After work I cycled home and changed clothes. To be honest I really liked my outfit and my make up, so I took some weird selfies. Way too mainstream, huh?

Arriving to the party, finding my friends and then having fun! Noo.. This wasn't some small party with 40 people or something like that. There must have been about 100 people? So problems finding my friends? Yes. DANCE, DANCE, DANCE & DANCE. That's actually what I remember. I went home some earlier than the others, since I had to work next day. Don't wanna look like some kind of panda-zombie on work. Just not cool...

It's actually a very great drawing. It really looks like me. What else? Two soaps! They smell good. I could already smell it before opening the parcel. Oh, I don't know what to say more.

I would say it's been a while, since I got a postcard from a pen friend beside Katya from Russia. I've been missing opening the mailbox, and then find something unexpected. Well, I got a surprise today, because I found this. It's from my pen friend Alisa from Russia! 

A very nice postcard of her hometown. That lollipop-look-alike building is pretty awesome! Lol, it looks funny. What in the world is it?

Thank you!

A consequence of lazy holidays

Today we were playing a match against Dragør BK. Straight out... We lost the match 13-0. Not much to say about this result. First match after the summer holidays is always hard. I haven't been playing football since I travelled to China! Consequence: I run slower and... I'M JUST BAD! I get tired easily. What have I eat since I'm in so bad a condition???

Intro-trip in Kongensøre (Day 1) - Team work!

OMG! I was so excited! I've been waiting for this trip in a long time. Well, most because I get to know my new classmates better, but also because the trip itself! We had to live 3 days and 2 nights in the nature. We had to live in Indian tippy tents, and I've never tried that in my entire life before. 4 classes/study lines from my gymnasium were going to the camp in Kongensøre: The health class, the biotechnology class and the two science classes. From Copenhagen we drove in different busses to reach our destination, but when we arrived we still had to walk a long way and then through a forest. So, now we're here!

Later my class got divided into three groups. Actually every class got divided into three groups. Then we got some tasks. Not writing tasks, but tasks where we actually have to move around! But yeah.. Move around in the forest. We got points after every task, and at last they would count our points. If we didn't get many points, we would get less food! My team got good points and we really learned to work together.

After dinner we all went back to the camp, talked and just had fun. This trip is gonna be great!

Another postcard from my penfriend Katya from Russia! This time she sent me a postcard of St. Petersburg. What's up with you, Katya? Did some kind of "postcard-flip" hit to you? First a postcard from Barcelona, then Moscow and now St. Petersburg? All received here lately! Well, no matter if she suddenly has a "postcard-flip" or not, then I appreciate the postcards. I love when there's a letter or postcard in my mailbox. Long live snail mail!

Thank you!
