Overwhelmed

Last time I posted was two weeks ago and believe it or not, a lot can happen in just two weeks.

Week one of not posting was pretty uneventful, or maybe it was so outshined by the second one that I just don't remember if anything important happened. Yeah, I received my card (and blocked it, all within two hours of having it, yay) and school was as usual really good and really boring. It's just what it is. 

But the real reason I didn't post last Monday was because I was at the introcamp. A whole week with 165 other exchangers from all over the world who are living in Denmark for the year, just like me. Good thing was that it was in my city, Berringbro, so just like some people had to take 3 or 4 hours drives to come, it only took me ten minutes. 

I can't explain every single thing we did during that week because it would literally take me a lifetime, but let me just say it has no comparison. I had high expectations for the introcamp, having heard so much about how cool it was just made me more anxious. But it seriously surpassed anything and everything I could have ever imagined. At first, it was because the place was really cool and I was really happy with the room arragenments. Then, it was because I got to spend a lot of time with my already and new friends but at the same time I got to learn some danish (Yes, it's hard. No, I don't suddenly understand everything people say). But all in all it was just because I was completely happy. I don't think I have ever felt (sorry to all my people back in Arg, I'm just generalizing) so at home as I did this past week. I made friends that will always be a part of me, I now have anecdotes and inside jokes to laugh about for a lifetime, It's crazy to think that I've known this people for such a short time and still they have already affected my life in such a positive way. Every single exchanger I have met in my life and specially those I got to spend the best week of my life with have shaped my life and left a piece of them, mainly as memories, with me. There's no way I could have experienced something like this without Rotary, this is truly life changing.

That's why ever since the introcamp finished a few days ago all I tell my other exchange friends around the world is that they have to enjoy every second of it as if it was the last time they'll ever have, because it is. And not fully enjoying this and not realizing how incredibly lucky and privileged we are to be experiencing this is honestly the worst thing anyone could do. 

I'm not very inspired, and this is definitely not my best post ever, but I'm so overwhelmed with how happy Denmark makes me that I don't think I have enough words to express myself.

Also, today marks one month since I said my last goodbyes to my friends and (Cambria stop laughing) "s/o"... It's been hard, but like I say in every post, happiness outweighs every negative thing posible.

Have fun, be safe, don't get caught!
