day 3 awful
Yesterday was horrible we took a plane from Copenhagen to Oslo and there was baby screaming right next to us the entire one hour flight and by the end my ears hurt like hell. After we arrived in Oslo we walked around and I was the only one to notice the gay bar right within a ten seconds walk of the hotel. My grandpa keeps loosing everything uhg. My mom is also hyper paranoid. For lunch I had something that tasted like crap. We didn't really do anything after that we just napped and then got dinner. A lot of the guys here though look gay somewhat and many of them are hot. Only problem there are a lot of fat people too. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!! Well till then.

day 2
Well yesterday was fun. I loved seeingnall the art that is here about copenhagen, sadley the museums are all closed mondays :(. We took a tour learning alot about the history the royals, the elephant statues everywhere (which are for fundraising for asian elephants), the little mermaid and alot more. The breakfast we had was great but we had to wait for the bus for the tour. The tour was about 3 hours long. Afterwards we went to hard rock cafe where i got a fadora yay. We the had luch and a beer house. We napped for a few hours then we went to dinner at a steak house weqre because the legal drinking age is 18 i was able to pass for it and got a coffee with baileys im so happy. Not much else happened but its still fun well till then.
Ps drinking age is amazing.

yay that was fun... sorta. first day on my trip
Yesterday I arrived at copenhagen Denmark at 7 AM after nearly 19 hours of traveling. Thankfully it was cofortable to sleep and eat because i was in first class. My first flight for CA to VA was three hours with a two hour lay over till my next flight which was about ten hours. It then took us awhile to get out of the airport and get our luggage. We then were off to our hotel which i think could be better but we are only here for yesterday and today and then im off the norway. I was stuck in the hotel while my mom and grandpa slept and then we got something to drink at a local cafe and then went to the "little mermaid" statue by the beach and anouther one the was more of a tower with a person im apparently related to. The weather is somewhat on off but is warm. I like it here. After the statues we went to a really nicd sushi place for dinner and the was my day. Today i will be going on a tour so i hope its fun and ill update tomorrow about my excursion.

Boring repetition and I found the Journal
Okay my life is getting exceedingly boring this summer my routine has become monotonous and bland and I wish I could do something about it but I can't because I have to do my stupid online courses so I can graduate next year, and even if I had no classes to make up I wouldn't know what to do with myself. On another note though, I did find my journal so I will type up a couple days of it at a time from what I remember because, as I have stated before, I don't like to write so the first few days aren't that descriptive.
My mom is such a F***ing pessimist I hate her she always assumes the most negative things and because I have a couple of failed classes she randomly gets on my case and the says all these things I NOT going to get in life because I'm just going to be one of those idiots who flips burger and slings drinks. you know I just want to take every lighter and cigarette she has ever used and shove them down her throat. I wish she would just die I F***ing hate her so much. Sorry she just pisses me off so much anymore and its always the same thing. She gets set off by the smallest of things.
Day one of my 19 day trip was spent basically just flying from here to and airport some where and then taking another plane to land in Edinburgh, Scotland. The flight was actually quite interesting. The first plane ride was rather dull and I didn't do much besides sleep and talk to my friend and one of our group leaders. We then sat in the airport for about 3 hours waiting for the next flight and we all had lunch. It fun to talk with everyone so we could all learn about each other. I don't remember all we talked about but I do remember about 7 of us were all sitting together eating different foods from all the different restaurants they had around. It was alot of fun. After getting on to the next plane that would take us to Edinburgh, Scotland, this plane was alot more fun. It had small screens on the Backs of every seat for people to choose from watching TV, listening to music, playing games and a couple other things. When you play games any of the games that had multi-player capabilities could be connected to anyone else on the plane who was playing that game. So most our delegation were playing games with each other which was alot of fun. When we were about half an hour away from the airport to land we all had to fill out these cards that stated who we were and where we were coming from, our purpose of travel, and length of stay. Now for reasons I cannot explain I messed up on the form and needed a new one about 4 times because I would either mess up my name, sadly, or I would mess up some other part of the form.
Once we got there, we basically were starting our tour and had to exchange some of our money to Euro's (oi-row-s) for our stay in Scotland and Ireland. We got on to our charter bus with our luggage and went off to our first location, which was basically just going as a group and learning about some of the history not far from our hotel. Those who had slept on the flight were smart because if we didn't sleep we were basically awake for about 30+ hours before we got to bed. The trip was alot of fun and it was nice to see the scenery and people and everything.
We didn't do much else that take a bus ride while hearing about the culture of the country on our way to the hotel.
I'll post the next day or two depending on how long it is tomorrow. I also noticed my mom yells into the phone when she talks and her voice is really grating when she is on the phone making it impossible for me to concentrate. Well until tomorrow.
Today's tip is: Do your home work cause life sucks when you fail at school. And my second piece of advise is: take life in the fullest cause you never know when it might end, or when something might go wrong so you should make everything count and be happy with what comes your way.... unless its death of some sort cause that's not fun for anyone really.

Despicable, Okay, Something?, and...CELEBRATIONS!!! sorry its late
SORRY THIS WAS POSTED LATE I GOT QUITE DISTRACTED AND LOST TRACK OF TIME! AND THERE IS NO TIP TODAY!!
My mom thought it a good idea to talk to me about joining the military. Now she of all people knows that I, no offense to anyone, hate the military with a passion. I hate war and fighting, I don't care if its for freedom or some other, supposedly good, reason, and so I don't want anything to do with the military. If I was forced to join the military, like my mom says she'll do if I don't bring up my grades D:<, I would join the air force. Now I have nothing against people who are in the military, one because it's their choice and I have nothing against that, and second because I think alot of the men in the military are quite hot. Well all I know is that I really don't like or would want to join the military.
I am still perpetually waiting to see if I can even get the chance to go into an interview at Starbucks :(. Oh well I have little patience for some things. Anyways there is this one guy who works there who is a total hottie. His name is Evan, he's a ginger, and he is fairly muscular, and the other day we were talking and he decided to pull of a British accent out of nowhere which I thought was quite cute. I saw him today but it was only as he was just coming in to start his shift so, :(.
I saw a really funny movie today call "Mr. Bean", which I sure many of you have heard of maybe even seen, and I thought that it was really funny. I also watched a program today, one I have seen before but don't quite remember, was "Stone Age: Atlantis". It's a very interesting program and I think alot of people who like history or lore and other similar things should watch it. You can watch it occasionally on the National Geographic Channel.
Okay, now I'm just rambling because I have no idea what to write. I know that some time this summer, I will be going on a two week vacation to Norway, and during those two weeks I'm not sure if I'll be able to post my blog for a couple reasons. The first reason is that even though I'll have my phone it won't have its world wide capabilities enabled. the second reason is that I won't be allowed to bring my laptop because neither my mom or me know if we will have wifi access, and if we do I would have to use her computer and I don' really want her to know about this blog. My third reason is that I just might not have the time to post these blogs. I will be keeping a constant journal either in a hard back paper journal, or on my phone's memo pad, so that I can relay all my awesome experiences, people I meet, everything, to you all when I get back. I think I'll be leaving on the 13th or the 14th of July so my trip isn't for a few weeks but I thought I'd let you all know.
I would like to announce that yesterday I made my 7th blog, and that means that I have officially had this blog continually running for one week!!, which has made me quite proud because i have a tendency to give up on things very shortly into them. B-D I'm so happy that I've acctually done this for one week, and today I had an idea. My idea would be that over the next few days, because this blog IS becoming somewhat repetitive, relay my experience as a student ambassador, from last year when I went on 19 day trip to: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland. And yes, Ireland and Northern Ireland are two different countries, Ireland is an independent country detached from Great Britain, and Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain and is controlled under the government of Parliament. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, are all part of Great Britain and its Parliament. My travels took me from the North in Dublin Ireland, down to the Southern, London England. I will start these stories tomorrow, and my hope is that you get some of the Tradition, and culture out of it as I have. Until then, goodbye, Mar sin leat (Gaelic goodbye,both Ireland and Scottland), Da bo ti (Welsh Wales).
