Until You Try

Post #223: Dedicated to: Cold December Night; Michael Bublé

I have definitely been neglecting this blog in favor of my study abroad one, and for that I apologize!

I have only 2 weeks and 1 day left in Denmark, and I truly can't believe time has gone by so quickly. I'm beyond excited to go home, yes, but also so so sad to leave. There are so many things I haven't done yet, places I haven't visited, food I haven't eaten, people I haven't hung out with...I'm going to have to cram as much as I can in the next 2 weeks.

Random quote of the day: "You never know what you can do until you try." Don't know who coined it, but when I was in 6th grade the 5th-grade classroom down the hall always yelled this phrase at the top of their lungs each morning. One morning, my teacher Mrs. Bellefeuille (can you believe I still remember how to spell that?? Pronounced Bell-fay, btw) decided to tease the other classroom and we engaged in a full-on yelling battle. From across the hall. They yelled it first, we yelled it louder, and so on and so forth. It was a fun morning, to say the least, and at least the quote became engrained in my head.

I was also reminded of one of the best memories of the summer – *clap clap raise the roof*! This was what we did one week of 826LA ELL camp – whenever a student volunteered to read his/her creative story or what not of the day, we clap, clap, and raised the roof. It was a very creative way to get the kids interested in sharing their stories, and I'd say that they (as well as the staff) had a pretty good time with this clap.

Anyway, enough of the trip down memory lane. It's time to get focused on the load of paper, finals, and fun to come!
