This will be my first post on our new blog.

I cannot believe that this adventure has come so close!

I remember the day in Marts when i recieved my first acceptance letter, telling me that I was going to be a UWC student at the college Red Cross Nordic (Norway). I do not think I will ever find the right words to describe the feeling I had inside when I first read the letter. If it was not because I was sitting in my class during a math lesson, which was very hard to pay any attention to afterwards, I would definitely have started crying - of happiness of course - but I had not told any of my class mates that I was applying, so I saved my tears until I got home. When all tears was out, I smiled non stop for the next many days, if not weeks, and the only thing I had on my mind was "United World Colleges Red Cross Nordic", even when I had to sleep. I dreamed about it every night the first few weeks!

The first thing I did was to count the exact number of months and days until I had to fly towards my biggest dream. At the time there was a little more than 5 months left.

Luckily these five months has flown away, and I am now sitting here in my summerhouse enjoying the last 22 days of my summer vacation, using most of the time to consider whether I have to pack in the red suitcase og the black one, how many towles I need, who my roommates are, that I have to remember calling my great granmother before leaving, etc.

Let the adventure begin!

(This was the first picture I saw of the college, and I still find it hard to believe that this "paradise" is the place I am going to consider as my home!)

This will be my first contribution to this blog.

There is a little bit more than a month left of my time in Denmark hereafter I will be a UWC student at Pearson College of the Pacific Ocean (Canada), but this entry will be about my first “real UWC experience”  

While I am sitting here in the couch in the most northern city in Denmark Skagen with me family, the time slowly goes by and my time in Denmark is running out. Nearly a month ago I took part in the Danish social gathering for the Danish UWC students. In a weekend packed with activities, interesting talks and personal reflection all the students became friends really fast. An evening we decided to go bathing in a local lake. The time was about 22:00 pm when 20 people; future students as well as old students took their bathing cloth and walked out in the forest to find the lake. After 90 minutes and no lake we all disappointed returned to the house.

It is no secret that I were quite nervous when I arrived by train at station in Roskilde were all the students had planned to meet. My nervousness was caused by my second year. This weekend I would meet her for the first time (luckily she was very nice).

This weekend will be remembered as one of the funniest experiences with UWC so far. There is so much more to tell, but I am sure that some of the other students write something too.
