I'm FINALLY home in Alaska!! After a very very long trip... with plane delays and lost baggage (which still hasn't been found.....) I was SO relieved to finally be home Wednesday night.. at exactly 8 pm. My friends surprised me by coming and making welcome home signs!! And my mom was ON TIME! haha.. I feel a huge relief.. a weight off my chest being home. But even after only being gone for 3 days, I realized how much I miss Denmark, and my friends and family there, so much. And I'm dealing with that now... I'm still on a high though being with my friends! And rediscovering things that I've missed all year long! Like having ice cubes in the freezer... and Americanos at Starbucks... and Walmart!! (Heather and Courtney took me yesterday!) and Taco Bell! It's a whole new wonderful world...
Me and my friends have been discussing school which we start in just 6 weeks! And I was given my summer homework.. GAH! And I'm getting back on the road again.. which I WILL admit is nerveracking!! I need practice! hah... And now my family is going to Australia in a couple weeks for holiday!! We are so excited!
I will try to write more once I get my old laptop up and running again.. I hope all my exchangies made it home safe.. I've heard from some of them and I already miss them a crazy amount. Thank you guys, thank you Bjarke and Solvej, and my class for such a wonderful year. For taking such damn good care of me.. I miss you guys already and I expect you to WRITE to me! Hundreds of Hugs and Kisses back to Denmark...
love Francine

I had a dream u found your bag. I think I had a dream about it because I am extremely curious about my present.....
what if you don't get your present?! Since you thought it was SO FUNNY to tell me I will NEVER get my bag back!!
Well then I will simply die. U have prepared myself for it and I think I am ready to move on. As my good friend dumbledore once said death is the next adventure and maybe I will meet it bag there. Seriously though, because they are never going to find it can u atleast tell me what my present in? Or are u going to have this so called "hope" some people believe in?
half of what i own is in that bag... and all my papers.. all my memories.. so yes i have hope. And no I will not tell you what your present is!
