Got My Visa!

After a lot of trouble and an amazing travel agent, I've finally gotten my visa! It's just a sticker in my passport, but it's my ticket in. My last hurdle has been cleared, and I'm unbelievably excited to be able to be stress-free about my exchange now. My friend Keenan has been talking to me about Denmark, and I just get more and more excited! He arrived in Horsens on the 4th and tells me about how his brother makes weird toast and that the showers are confusing. His blog is danishpov.tumblr.com if anyone wants to hear about his travels! I still have way too long to wait before I leave, I'm dying with anticipation! On a side note, I just thought I would let the whopping fifteen people who will probably read this that today is my birthday!! I'm turning seventeen! One thing that I am really disappointed about for my exchange is that I won't be celebrating my birthday while I'm in France. The eighteenth birthday is a big deal there, and I'm super unhappy that my sucky birthday makes me miss that experience. I've dealt with a lot of annoying things with my birthday, and its resume is pretty impressive now. I always had to watch my friends get their permits and licenses before me since I'm younger than nearly everyone else in my class, my birthday is in the summer so it gets obscenely hot and it's hard to do things outside, I never had my birthday at school, so I never had my locker decorated or anything, and now I don't get to celebrate it while in France. It's a really annoying and unfortunate birthday to have. But it only rolls around once a year, so I'm sure I can manage it :)
