hello, there.

ten days! jesus h. christ.

i am getting my shit together. i want to get a pair of pants before i leave. and i need to look into converters.

a week from today is my final orientation at carol's (head of everything's) in OC and mine and heather's (outbound to france) epic road trip there. it'll be the last time seeing everybody. and it's weird to know that it's the last time everyone.. for the whole year.

i'm almost nervouse about the twenty questions in your host language thing, but i'm also sort of confident about it, too. natalie (another going to france) will most likely take the cake, but she's been taking french for four years and it's always the natalie show. but, the rest of them are either a. nervous speaking in front of people or b. lazy and not learning their languages.

i'm very excited to go. i can't wait. i don't have a whole lot for me here. no cold feet. just a strange, anxious, fuzzy feeling in my gut. in two weeks, i'll be in denmark!!! whaaaat??

18 days and counting. not a very long time. i am excited, nervous, i don't know. we'll see.

i've been reading, internetting with my time. trying to leach wireless internet from the neighborhood with my lil'un, my baby asus eee pc.

saw ingrid michaelson over the weekend and had some awkward times with daniel who i haven't seen for a whiiiilleee. a loonng loongg while (thanksgiving of junior year? shit, man) and he was cordial and polite and there were a zillion people there and it was Very Unexpected so i had to put on a Happy Face and pretend that i wasn't crying on the inside. well, then. hello.

i will stay in frederikssund, dk. looks amazing

Frederikssund

that is the pedestrian street

Frederikssund2

and it's on the water, too.

oscars are tonight, but idk if i'm watching it. i need to do history hw. but i probably won't do it. D:

i am so so so excited. woooo!!

i leave august 2nd!!!!! aaahh!!!

my first orientation is sunday. and i won't find out my departure date until then.

my indroductory speech, with help by people that actually know danish

Hej!Jeg hedder Marlana. Jeg kommer fra Merchantville. Jeg er studerar på CCHS. Jeg skal bo i Danmark på en år. Jeg er her hus min mor og min far. Tusind tak!

so, yeah. breathe in, breathe out. luckily, i haven't been having so much hw so i can spend 1-2 hrs on danish. this is my life. how many days?

diploma now, please. (:

so, I decided to go through and delete everything. I need a fresh start and I've always liked vox more than lj, and now I am going to use this as a medium to chronicle my life from high school to well, gymnasium. I am going to Denmark for ten months starting in August. I just realized today how scared out of my mind I am. I know I will do this, but I'm crazy. This whole thing is crazy. I want to go to college and just GTFO of here. New Jersey and CCHS are bringing me down. The research paper due friday? I just don't seem to care. I mean, I have like a page and a half written. I don't know. I just want school to be done. June first can't come soon enough. I need my diploma and I want out.

I'm not even looking forward to senior trip.

God am I in a rut.
