In outdoor recreation, we decided to make a trip to a
beach and make a bonfire and sleep in tents. We have planned to do it for some
time, and “now” was the right time. The warm weather was finally coming to
Denmark.
Monday the 23th of April at 16:30 we went by bikes to the beach
(Gamborg Fjord…A little place in Denmark). We camped on a little “spot” of
grass be the beach. I made a bonfire and the other made food. We were supposed
to have wok, but there were to mush curry in the vegetable-thing, so we ended
eating noodles and chicken with ketchup and marinade. It actually tasted pretty
good. For dessert we made pancakes… yum yum yum. Later we were lying around the
bonfire roasting marshmallows and eating chips and candy while reading funny
thing from a magazine. Some were telling funny and embarrassing things they or
their friends have experienced. Then the stars started to show up in the sky.
We were lying for some time around the bonfire looking at stars and trying to
find some constellations.
When it got later we decided to go to sleep because we had to wake up early the
next day. We were sleeping 8 girls in a big “tent” (I was not exactly a tent it
was more like a tippy). The two boys were sleeping in another tent, and our
teacher was sleeping by himself on the beach.
I was definitely not the first… or the second… and probably not the third to
fall asleep. I could hear some of the other snoring for some time, before I
fell asleep. I woke up a several time during the night. At 6 o’clock we all
woke up and walked up out the tent to sit around the bonfire. It was really
cold. We made some pancakes and porridge for breakfast. The first plan was that
we should go for a morning swim in the sea, but it was just so cold. After some
time we decided to do it anyway (not all of us, but I did). It was really
really cold. So we just took a quick dip, and ran back to the bonfire, to get
the warmth. When we all were warm enough, we did it again. When we had the
warmth, we packed up all our stuff and bicycled back to the school. I had a
quick but warm shower, and went to “school”. I was so tired so I fell asleep a
few times during the day and my teacher made me walk around the school.
It was a nice trip but I don’t think I would do
it again.

Monday last week, we had our second last time in outdoor recreation, so we were climbing trees. In the beginning we were talking about spiders and bugs so I got a bit paranoid about bug. I thought I saw bugs everywhere (well, I saw a few… but hello, we were in a wood). I found a tree I liked with no branches on (equals no bugs… except flying bugs and snails and bug who could climb trees… but anyway I didn’t think of that) so I asked my teacher if there was a way I could climb the tree even though it didn’t have branches. He told me a way to climb it, but he also told that the tree was too thin to climb, so I had to find another. I found another tree (it was about a meter away… right next to my first tree). I climbed about three meters up in it, but then I saw a snail on the trunk, so I couldn’t move higher. I was sitting there shifting sitting in my climbing harness and sitting on my feet. I sat there between 30 minutes and an hour (I didn’t have a watch with me). Then I after some time got tired in my leg I climbed down and bicycled back to the school. 
Saturday the 21st of April our teacher Marie took us to see a Rugby game between Denmark and Austria. It was the European Nations Cup. We went to Odense Athletic Stadium by bus. Some of the students were painted in their heads in red and white colors (I wasn’t). It was so much more violence than I thought. They were making piles of players all the time, and sometimes they were just fighting with each other and not for the games sake (it’s first I’ve seen rugby). Even though I didn’t understand much of the game, it was funny enough to see. We (Denmark) won 28-22 against Austria J. 
In the morning Wednesday the 18th of April we went, after breakfast, by train to Horsens (a city in Jutland). We were going to battle against some other schools in a few different drawing disciplines. There were only two other schools. 
We started in a workshop where we had to make spatialities out of triangles. And then make our spatialities of triangles out of foamcore/foamboard. It was actually fun. Then we all walked into another room there we had to battle. My discipline was surface tension. It is about how you place your drawings on the paper. When we had finished a battle we were rated with points. The best got 3 points, the second best got 2 points and the last got 1 point. We got 1 point the most of the times except Nathalie who got 2 points and I got 3 J. We ended on a 3rd place, but the most of still had the good mood on. When we walked away, we saw that a lot of children had been drawing on our spatialities, and it turned out really fine.
On the way back, our teacher Charlotte bought ice cream for us. I’m a bit pound of myself. 
Monday
the 16th of April we had (as always) a contact-group meeting.
Suddenly (I don’t remember why) we began to talk about how some toothpaste
always comes out of the tube in stripes. We talked about a few theories and
decided to make a test and see if it was lying in stripes in the tube. My
“neighbor” Mathias offered his toothpaste (which was in stripes). We opened it
and it was almost smashed together. Pernille (my roomie) had afterwards a lot
of fun with the toothpaste.
