This is the first time I have ever tried blogging - never thought I'd be one of those people, but here I'm an exception, because I was asked to write this as a part of the study trip we will be taking in 3 days.
WHO AM I?
My name is Astrid, I'm 19 years old and come from Denmark. I attend Silkeborg Gymnasium, and live in a suburb close by called Sejs, with my parents and my twin sister. My majors at the gymnasium are English A, French A, German B, so one might call me a language geek, which is why I am so looking forward to going to a country outside of Europe for the first time, to experience the culture.
We will be heading towards New York, the big apple first and then we will travel to Quebec city those of us who major in French, and those who major in Spanish will be leaving for Washington. It pleases me that we had the opportunity to actually talk French in Canada, because this is were we need the most advantage as languages go, in English it will be mainly for the culture. This will not be an option for those who major in Spanish, which I think is sad, seeing as they are so close to Mexico. But with schools, possibilities are often limited.
So this was the awkward encounter, that did not turn out to be so awkward at all.
I hope you will keep reading as I go along.
Till next time, The Viking.
