Forget the cowbell...

This past week, and the current one, are a break for the handball players here in Bjerringbro, Denmark. After the conclusion of our season, we take a 2-week break, after which we'll hit the ground running and start getitng ready for the Påskecup, an easter tournament that will be my last ever competiton in the U16 age bracket. After the Påskecup, we'll begin training as U18 players.
That's most of my handball update, but of course I've got more to add.
I've been following an actual class within Bjerringbro Gymnasium for 2 weeks now, and it's been a different, but excellent experience. Within the Gymnasium there are 3 years, and within each year there are multiple classes. The class I follow is called 1.e, and lucky enough for me it has a few handball players. The schedule is comparable to college courses, except I'm taking 9 classes.
-Physics
-Math
-Danish
-English
-World Cultures
-History
-Music
-German
-Biology
It's difficult followin a class completely in Danish, but I manage to follow along well enough. Whoever invented Google Translate, I owe you lunch.
Anyways, I'll go into further detail about the Danish schooling system later. Right now, we'll talk about music... When I enrolled in the music class, I imagined it to be like music classes in the US - completely unorganized, loud, terrible, and awesome. No dice, I got a well-organized, small, talented school band right in the middle of their preparations for their spring concert. The music teacher spoke excellent english, so I cracked a joke about playing the triangle for the concert. Long story short, Danes still don't quite catch on to sarcasm, and I will be playing the Triangle in the spring concert this Thursday. I get to hit it twice!
