I'm in a happy place

Does blogspot have a word limit? Because if it does I'm screwed.
I literally don't know how to start this post. Have I really been here for only one week? So much has happened, it feels like I've been in Bjerringbro for 3 months already...
So basically I survived what my hostmor calls hell week! And it wasn't hell at all! I started school last Wednesday and at first I thought it was going to be awkward and awful, but it turned out to be amazing. My classmates are great! Just on the first day the girls really tried to get to know me and talk to me in English and help me translating what I didn't understand (pretty much everything), so yeah, it was cool. Towards the end of the week the boys started talking to me too which was nice because I really want to get along with everyone in my class, I'm going to be with all of them for the whole year after all...
I also met all of my host families and my counselor's family and what can I say? I honestly don't understand why Danes have this crazy reputation for being cold and reserved... They're all so nice I can't even believe it ❤  Back in Argentina I have three older siblings, and now here in all of my families I'm the eldest sister of boys (actually living with boys isn't bad at all, it's part of the challenge!)
And then my first weekend here was just around the corner and it seemed crazy that it had only been a week. On Saturday we had Mathias goodbye day (that's what I call it. He's going on exchange to Argentina, probably next Saturday), I met a bunch of relatives who were all really cool and funny (Danes have a great sense of humor) and then the night came and it was time for the party. Lemme just say danes are wild. Not even kidding. But I had a great time and everyone was really chill, specially when they found out that "oh you're the Mara that they announced on the speakers at school". Yup, that's me... On Sunday I had my first district meeting with all the other exchange students and let me just say... THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. I met all of the other exchangers, made some pretty good friends with whom I already have inside jokes and anecdotes and even reunited with my bae whom I hadn't seen in more than a year ❤ So over all my first week in Denmark was amazing.
I did get a bit homesick. Specially on the 12th because it was my first 12th alone and I honestly didn't know how to deal with that. Missing is tough, yeah, but it doesn't matter how much I miss, it never outweighs how happy I am with the path I'm taking right now. I'm in a happy place (in every aspect) and I intend to keep it that way.
Have fun, be safe, don't get caught!
