Week 15.
It started with the Choir trip on the weekend like in the previous blog entry.
On Monday I was incharge of the outdoor pligt. I had changed from the drengebygning to uddør because leroy was leaving and I needed to have a new work place. I worked on the horse fence for a few hours. Its still not finished.
Tuesday I taught english. Then I did the usual things that I do like esktra idræt and then pligt. I was still learning the ropes for pligt. It was the last day for Leroy as working as a SM.
Wednesday. It was just another wednesday. Had wake up in the morning. The guys are now getting slack and didn't want to get out of bed. It's still reasonably dark now in the mornings. I had to get a few of the guys out of bed even after school had started. At 9:00, I had to drive a student to the hospital. She had fallen over on the dining hall and wanted to get her knees looked at because they were hurting a lot. We arrived at the by 9:30 and we had to wait for more than 2 hrs. After the second hour I left to go back to the school because it was taking to long. After arriving back at the school I went to get some lunch. Whilst I was eating I got a call from the student to go pick her up from the hospital. I finished my food before I left. everything was fine with her. It was just bruising. In the afternoon I had to take a guy to the doctors. Then I was on duty again at 14:30 til 00:30.
Thursday. Normally my day off. I worked in the afternoon and was on duty all night. The good thing is I got paid for working that time but it was a very long night.
Friday I cleaned out the school van and made it nice and clean for the weekend.
I was on duty this weekend.

Choir Weekend
Last weekend we had a choir weekend where the choir practices all the songs for the big choir trip later in the year. the place we went to was Himmerlandsgården. It is the Adventist camping ground for Denmark.
One Friday night we left at around 1730 to go to the Himmerlandgården. On the way I wrote up the list weekend duty's for the students. I had a couple other students there to help me out.
When we got to Himmerlandgården, we found our rooms and had 15-20mins to unpack our bags and be in the first choir session. The first choir session was good. We sang a couple of Danish songs and an English song. During the weekend we had a total of 6 choir sessions I ended up only attending 3 of them.
On saturday night we played a few games. One of the games was a clothes changing game. What you had to do was have 4 people in a group and you had to change into each others clothes until you finally got your own. So there was 2 teams and the first people on the teams would head out to 2 different rooms and take their clothes off. All except their underwear. Then they would put on a garbage bag and run back to the group. The next person would then run into the room and take their clothes off and put the first persons clothes on. The third person would then run out and put the second persons clothes on and the fourth person would put the thirdth persons clothes on and so on. This was until they all have their own clothes on.
I had to play this game they lined me up with short people. It was not the best.
A few of the other games were blindfolding people and getting them to find out which one is the person they are after. There were a few more but can't quite remember what they are.
On sunday we had a choir session in the morning then we packed up and went back to the school.

Wk 14
Last weekend it was the Netparty(Lan party). The guys were playing computer games from 2130 saturday night till 630 sunday morning.
On the weekend I went to North Jutland(NordJyland). One of the 3G students had a 18th b'day party and 4 sm's went to it. We left at 1100 on saturday morning and arrived at her parents house at 1330. Just in time for lunch. We had a big birthday lunch. That was good.
During the afternoon we played a few games. One was a game where the seat you are sitting on at the start has been given your name and you have to get to the top seat. The other game we played was you have a circle and there is one person in the middle with a newspaper and the rest of the people are sitting down. What you'd do is have one person sitting down call out a name of someone in the group and the person with the newspaper has to try to hit that person before they say another name.
We left after dinner and headed back to the school. We got back at 2130. This gave me 3 hrs before I had to go on duty for the netparty. We had to have a sm on duty to supervise and just be there if something went wrong. That night I watched Topgear, Bionic Woman, and a bit of Heroes. It was a late one. By the time I got to bed it was around 730-800 sunday morning.
Sunday I slept until around 1330. I went and got some food then went to the pool where all the students were. I went back to bed at 1830 but didn't sleep until 2000. I woke up at around 2330 just in time for mum to call me. The call was good.
Monday. I slept in late. It was good. We didn't have danish class so I could sleep in on a monday. I was on duty for only a few hours because I got a cold over the weekend. The head dean that was on duty gave me some herbal pills to take. They made feel alot better and by wednesday I was better. I still do have the cold.
Tuesday. I had english tutoring in the morning. After lunch, I finely got all my papers and bank account all organised. Now I have to wait for my tax number to come in and my bank card. In the afternoon I had swimming for extra sport. Vanessa wasn't able to be at extra sport because one of her friends had come and visited on their way around the world trip. Late Tuesday night we had our first snow fall. It wasn't much but it was decent size snow flakes. In the morning there was some snow 1cm deep on road and grass. It was packy though. And now it is all gone.
Wednesday I had wake up duty and then had danish classes. After danish I helped out Leroy building the horse fence. I was on duty again from 1430 by myself. From 1430 till 1700 it is boring being on duty. There is nothing to do and not many students are at school. They get to go into Vejle on a weekly trip and thats what they do during that time. That night I supervised the 9th klasse do their homework.
Thursday it was my day off. I worked on the horse fence again. Did extra sport again in the swimming hall. Then I was off duty. Vanessa, her friend, Crista and I went out for a hot drink later that night. I was really good getting away for a couple of hours.
Friday. I had another english tutoring class. After that I packed my bag to go away on choir weekend.

Week 13
This week has gone really quickly.
I went for a ride after lunch on Saturday with Leroy and Chris. we went along the fjord to a town called Juelsminde (yules/mina). That was good. It was my first descent ride since I got my bike.
On Sunday I burnt burnt some of the trees left over from the holidays. Leroy finished it off that afternoon with the help of some students. I did lifeguard duty also. That was good I had 4 students in the pool to watch. I ended up swimming with them.
Monday I got a call at 715 to see if I could help out in the kitchen. I did. I washed the dishes from 730-900 and 1130-1300. That afternoon I helped Leroy put up a fence around one of the fields for the horses. After dinner we had an impromptu first aid class. We got told that the class was on at 1800 and it was 1755. The class didn't start until 1830 because everyone was late. Monday we started week of prayer. Each night we have had a speaker come in and do a talk. Last night was the first English one.
Tuesday wasn't to eventful. I had folbold for extra sports. We had first aid test for lifeguard. We had to show that we knew how to do cpr on a person that had an accicdent or drowned in the pool. I had to attend the vespers it was in Danish so we had a translator. All the students kept on looking over towards us because the translator was speaking at the voice level.
Wednesday I got woken up at 230 by one of the klasse 8 boys. He had thrown up during the night all over the floor. He shares a bulk with another klasse 8 boy and sleeps on the top. When he woke me up he asked for something to clean the floor up with. I cleaned it up and got him to go back to sleep. Then at 630 I had to get up and wake the 8 and 9 klasse up so they got ready for school. I also woke the 10 klasse up to see if they were sick. None of the 10 klasse like it when I do this because their first class starts at 930 or 1015 and they always just want to sleep. Once I had done my duty in the morning I went back to bed and slept until 1130. After lunch I went out to help Leroy again on the horse fence. I drove the tractor for the first time. It is very old. Everything on it is cable, so cable brakes, clutch, etc. It is so hard to push the brake and clutch. Now I am really sore. In the evening we had a fare well dinner for Emma at you mums house. It was nice. When i got back, I was on duty. It was a late night. Once I had finished my shift I ended up watching die hard 1. It didn't finish till 300.
On Thursday I had a relaxed day and chilled out until 1430 when we had ekstra idraet(extra curricular sport). After that We had the final test for first hjaelpe or first aid. That was interesting. It was in Danish. We had the teacher translate the questions and answers for us. The test was multiple choice.
Friday was really good. We had a special service for the end of week of prayer. We had the church all lit up with candles and it looked really nice. The service was taken by a guy called Marciel from Finland. He spoke English which was excellent for me. He is Marician. After the main service the students went done to the hall in the church and they had an agape feast. While the students were there I started putting candles along the walkway to lead back to the sanctuary and turned off the lights. This made the atmosphere really nice and coming from the agape feast where it was a room with just candles lighting it made it special to walk out to the hallway that was also lit by candles. After the agape feast the students had aftenservering(supper) and could either go back into the church where they could sing a few more songs and chill out or go back to the dorm. We had quite a few students stay back. Normally they are complaining about having to go to church but this time most stayed because they wanted too. The church stayed open for the students to wander in until midnight. We had alot of them that came and prayed or talked about what they have been going through. For me this night was very long. Once I had finished all the things I had to do it was 0230. Very late.

Wk 12
Well its the end of the week. Well it is actually 0043 Saturday morning and I am writing this a bit late. I would normally write my entries on Thursday night not Friday.
This week. I had weekend duty on the weekend. That was good. On Saturday we had a Broget festival. It is a concert where the students would either sing or play an item. Some of the items were the choirs(big and small), couple of groups singing, a rap, instrumental by flute.
On Sunday I had the morning shift. This meant unlocking the door to hovedbygning(Head Building). When I went to unlock the door I did it at 630, but daylight savings finished that night so I found out that I opened it at 530. After opening it I went back to bed and slept for a few more hours. That night I also talked with one of the student about some things that had been troubling them. It did end up me doing most of the talking though.
Monday was another Monday. Had Danish class at 845. NICE and EARLY. And the rest of the day was normal. I got a question from one of the students that I have had trouble answering. I haven't answered yet because I am researching into in.
Tuesday I went swimming in the morning and also in the afternoon. I swam 2.6km that day. I also took my first English tutoring classes. I tutor 1 guy in 6 class and different people in 9 class. In 6 class the students had made a puppet show and had to perform it to the 3 class. The 9 class we watched October Sky.
Wednesday. I was going to go for a ride with Leroy and Chris but the weather was miserable. I ended up helping Leroy for a couple of hours build a room for a cinema in the older guys building(Scraenten). I talked to another student about a few things that was troubling them and said that if they just wanted to talk about it that I was here for them.
Thursday. I cleaned one of the guys bathrooms. It was gross. It hadn't been cleaned since the start of the year. There was black mould and grim everywhere. It's still dirty but cleaner then it was before.
Friday. I had a talk with one of the students I counselled during the week. I also taught a couple of students english. They were doing a review on the movie they watched during the week, October Sky. After class I had to take a student into Vejle to see a doctor. He was there for a couple of hours so I took two other students with me and we went window shipping. I did buy some stuff though. I got a toy giraffe(its a nickname I've been given from Leo) and a beany.
Friday night the SM's had the Vespers program. I played bass finally after 4months of not playing it. It was great. The weekend Vagt(head dean) said I looked liked I was rocking away. After Vespers most of the student missionaries went to Pia's(THE BOSS) house and we talked to her husband about a few things that were troubling us spiritually and were having trouble finding the answers. He is a pastor. WE spent a few hours there. Got back nice and late. Around 2330 I think it was.
