I had never
thought that I would be spending several hours everyday rehearsing being a
spoon. No, it is not some weird special kind of obsession. I was so fortunately
to pass the audition in order to be participating in the musical, Beauty and
the Beast. It is hard work, but spending everyday at school ‘till after
dinnertime suddenly becomes fun when you are with a bunch of people working
towards the one big night: The premiere on May 3rd. The cast is on
about 60 people, so it is a big show that we are putting on. We slept at the
school last weekend to rehearse until 2am. Going to bed? No way, we played
dodge ball in the gym instead. Dodge ball is so much more fun here. No one even
knows what handball is and we played with volleyballs, so no need to fear getting
injured.
During the
spring break I saw some of the most beautiful sceneries I have ever seen in my
life. My family and I went to the British Virgin Islands where we lived on a
44ft catamaran. We flew in to St. Thomas (which was actually previously owned
by Denmark). I got really excited when I saw three flags standing beside each
other: the American, the Danish and the Virgin Islands.
I’ve always thought that those picture perfect postcards you see have been photoshop’ed in one way or another, but I have now witnessed it myself: Yes, water can really be that clear and blue. Not only the surroundings were like taken out of a movie. The whole vacation was. I enjoyed every single bit of it. The snorkeling in Hawaii suddenly looked average compared to the BVI. Many hours were spent just relaxing on the boat, listening to music, and reading.

My birthday
here in America was a very big experience, especially since it was during the
musical lock-in at my school. Some of my friends almost tricked me into believing
that I had got in trouble before singing Happy Birthday with the entire cast. My
mom had made a beautiful birthday cake with red sugar, so it looked like the
Danish flag.
The day after Brennan and I went to the Floridian (a really good restaurant in St. Augustine) with many of our friends to celebrate our birthdays – hers being the 22nd. It’s a weird feeling sitting in the hot tub in April as if it’s the most common thing in the world.

There is
only one thing that I haven’t learned yet here though. I keep forgetting to
bring my bikini when I go places.
