It seems the only Danish I've seemed to pick up as of late has been "Jeg teller ikke Dansk" or "I don't speak Danish." Yesterday was Bjerringbro Gymnaium's "Sportenfest" or "Sports Day." All classes-or homerooms- picked a theme to dress up as and play in a small tournament of 3 sports- Football(soccer), Volleyball('wolleyball' in Danish), and something similar to 'Whackbat' from "The Fantastic Mr. Fox." We were assigned to class 2a, who dressed up as cyclists. It was only our second day at the school, so none of us were all too keen to show up in helmets and spandex, but the team had extra supplies for us when we showed up. We managed to sneak off and have our computers set up, but our team did well without us-winning first place in Whackbat. The prize? A case of beer. After Sportenfest there was a school party- which consisted of extremely loud, thumping European techno music and cafeteria ladies serving beer on tap to students for 20 kr- about $3.50. We got out of there relatively quick-it was MUCH different than a US school dance!
Today we watched the Bjerringbro FH U-16 team play 2 matches in Viborg. They won both, qualifying them to move up to the next highest division. The girls were all very excited-at least we assumer so, with the language barrier and all..
Sunday will be our 'no alarm clock' day, as we are all EXHAUSTED. I'll stay tonight in the apartment, and head back to the farm tomorrow afternoon. As for now, it's nap time!
