I took the bus alone!

Last night I took the bus from my friend Stine's house back to my dorm all alone.  I felt awesome.  Then today I took the bus alone again from my place to Stine's, where OUR bikes where waiting.  Bless that girl!  She got me a bike!  Its awesome and old, and I have to back pedal to stop.  I felt like I had never ridden a bike in my life.  The bikes here are so tall and I felt very wobbly.  It was interesting.
It was a very cold and very rainy day, so not the best to be on bikes.  But we went all the way to the school, ASB, and I got checked into the abroad program.  
After that, she biked with me back to my place.  I snuggled into my bed and read my book and tried to warm up.  Then I went and knocked on the door of a guy named Bo who had offered to show me around.  He showed me where the washing machines where and read me all the sign names that I couldn't understand.  We visited awhile and it was very nice.  
I later went to eat a bit of supper and he and another guy where in the kitchen.  Both were speaking Danish with each other so its a bit hard to get included in the conversation when I have no idea what is being said.  And I still have only seen one girl... I can't wait to be her friend.  I am so excited for more female friends.  
There is gum on my floor :( of my dorm... I found an extra blanket in the closet of my room so I am going to use that as kind of a rug.  Because I can't even get the gum out- how gross!!!  
The Twilight books have been such a blessing to me.  Its been my favorite escape to forget where I am and what I'm doing.  
My daily devotions have been talking lately about trusting God and following in the right path. Its really encouraging to read because I am on a really crazy path right now and I am constantly seeking peace.  
I'm at Stine's charging again so I am heading back shortly.
