Hello,
my name is Sidsel. I’m 17 years old but I turn 18 in a month. I live on Østerbro, a part of Copenhagen, with my parents. I have an older brother but he does not live with us. He lives in his own flat in Frederiksberg, another part of the city.
I go to Rysensteen Gymnasium (obviously), where I study English, French and Spanish and next year we also have Latin. In Denmark we can choose from a lot of colleges and I chose Rysensteen because they offered this composition of subjects which appealed most to me of all the schools in Copenhagen. Rysensteen is the only school that offer more than two languages in one course. Rysensteen is known for its high academic level and one of the school’s main focus points is democracy, which means we have a very well functioning pupil council and many other committees run by pupils. I am very happy that I chose this school because I have made some terrific new friends and my class is just wonderful!
I like all the ordinary things: listening to music, watching TV, hanging out with my friends, eating, and then I love reading; I read quite a lot. If I have nothing to do on a weekend I like to spend it on the sofa with my nose deeply buried in a novel. This has led me to a hobby of writing which I hope will one day lead to a career as an author. When I am finished with high school I would like to go to Testrup Højskole, a kind of six months boarding school programme. On this particular højskole I would like to go to, they have a course for people who like to write, and this is the one I plan on taking. Afterwards I would like to study literature at the university or study in university of life – that is I would like to go travel the world.
But firstly, I am looking forward to go to Argentina and meet you all! And see how you live and find out who you are and I hope we will all learn from each other. I am aware that that sounded extremely tacky and corny, but that is what I wish. I also hope the weather is going to be nice and warn because even though it is spring in Denmark it is very windy and cold and not very much like spring at all. Hopefully it will get warmer soon and if you are coming here (I really hope you are), I hope you will come at time when the weather is nice because then our country is quite nice.
Sincerely yours,
Sidsel Finderup.
