Boarding Life Update

Sorry about the long absence!


A few days after my last post I began the process of (trying) to get everything ready for my return to England. Needless to say, it did not go quite as planned. First of all, there was the issue with managing to get any washing done (to be expected at boarding school, there is always a queue at the time you just don't want there to be one), then there was the issue of remembering that I had not finished my Christmas shopping yet as I had planned to, and THEN a couple of days before I was due to leave, I received a message saying that the electricians on the Danish railway had decided that just before Christmas was the perfect time to strike. Brilliant, eh? Cue mad running around trying to find out what was going on, and being told 'Get to the airport. Find somewhere to sleep and get any train you can NOW!'. So there I was, 7am, over 24 hours before my flight, on my way to the airport. 


Luckily, there was a lovely lady at the airport (who's name I don't know, otherwise I would mention her personally) who managed to get me onto a flight home that day! 


So, that is my explanation for the lack of posts (whilst I was at home I was busy soaking up every second of being at home!). But, I am back at boarding school now. Unfortunately I'm really not enjoying it at the moment. I thought the homesickness I had before I went home for Christmas was going to be the worst it would get. You know, missing home constantly, but able to function pretty normally. Sadly, it seems Christmas did not help. I had an awesome time, don't get me wrong, loved every second, but I really don't want to be back on my own in this room, a day's travel from my parents. So, I know this blog is supposed to be my advice to you guys, but any advice from YOU on coping would be much appreciated. I don't want to waste my time in Denmark, but I really don't know how to enjoy it at the moment. 


Thanks!
