Imagine you are Danish Aborigines... LH!

Celebrating my birthday on a day which wasn't my birthday.

It was my 19th birthday last Monday. It was the strangest birthday I've ever had- No family, no friends, no sun, a full day at work and left-overs for dinner. I can't complain though! It was actually really nice because it was refreshingly different (and no, I am not becoming a Jehovah's witness haha ;))

It started off as one of those days where nothing goes your way: I had to sprint to reach the bus-stop in time, but the bus was late so I had to stand there in the freezing rainy weather and then there were no seats on the bus so I had to stand up and then I find out I have to be PE teacher for half of the day!! Yes- me a P.E teacher haha! But it wasn't so bad at all! It went really well and I got rewarded by getting my favourite class as my last lesson on my birthday :)

Other things that have happened this week:
  • Celebrated my birthday properly with my Danish relatives (but not on my birthday. It's not the same thing)
  • Saw a UFO (Bloody strange sight I'll never forget)
  • Told my Aunt I died this morning (In Danish if you literally say "I slept in", it means you passed away apparently. Ooops)
  • Been PE teacher six times this week!
  • Rode a bike 15km without a helmet.
  • Saw Australian Border Security on TV with Danish subtitles!
  • Went to an all-you-can-eat Fish Restaurant where I ate all things fishy.
  • Enjoyed basking in the sun with the temperature being a massive 8 degrees at one point!!
And finally, I just have to share this! One of the teachers let me hire out a textbook about Australia so I can get inspiration for my classes when talking about Australia. There's a page about aboriginals- Look at Pair Work!
    Could you live without "real" houses like Australian Aborigines? What entertainment would you have?? ;)
This made me LH (LH = Le Højt = Laugh Out Loud = LOL in Danish).
I know, that was an extremely lame attempt at being funny. Lol.*

*DISCLAIMER
- Any usage of the acronym LOL is purely for demonstration purposes. Joseph despises the usage of the acronym LOL and would instead use the common interjection Haha.
-LH (le højt) should not be confused with the female hormone LH (luteinizing hormone) which stimulates maturation of the ovarian follicle and formation of the corpus luteum. Year 11 Biology FTW
- The acronym LH as the Danish equivalent to lol is absolute rubbish and was just invented by Joseph 23 minutes ago.

  1. I reckon eh! This one was different to the sight we saw at camp though. It was like a firework in slowmotion and in reverse, if that makes sense...
