Pixilation
Today we had our first 'real' animation class.
We learned about pixilation!
It's actually stop motion, but you use objects that you bring to life by using animation.
Tomorrow we have a day to make an animation in a group of three.
What will that become...?
Today we also had our first Danish class!
This is the first thing we learned:
"Hej, jeg hedder Aagje! Hvad hedder du?"
It means: "Hey, my name is Aagje! What's your name?"
We laughed a lot with the pronunciation!
It's really strange!
In our spare time we sometimes play volleyball. It hurts a lot!
This evening I played for the second time this week. My wrists feel like a big bruise.
But it's fun!
Having a good time here in Denmark!
See you next post!

Week n° 1
First week of school is finished! It's weekend already!
Let me try and explain some of the things that happend this week.
This week was introduction week, so we didn't have real courses.
We got to know eachother a bit better and learned about the school and Viborg.
What happend on monday I already explained.
What happend the other days I will tell you now.
Tuesday morning we had a class about the Danish welfare system.
In the afternoon we had some sort of drama and music.
We did the game 'Around, under and over' (or something like that).
We had to stand in a circle. When there was a signal we all had to run around a person of choice.
After that we had to pick two persons, run around the first and crawl under the legs of the other.
At last we had to choose three persons, run around the first, crawl under the other and jump over the last one. It was a bit of a chaos, that game, but really fun!
We also sang a version of 'We will rock you', and learned a Danish folk dance, some sort of polka.
The polka was a bit difficult for some, because it was in a circle with lots of combinations.
Then the class was split in two, the Animation part and the Entrepreneurship part.
We did a name game where we had to find an animal with the first letter of our name.
At last we had to make something for the other group.
The Entrepreneurship sang a song for us and teached it to us.
We made a jungle and made the others feel like they where in it.
This is a picture of the students that follow Social Entrepreneurship after they teached us the song (so not me).
On wednesday we only had classes in the morning.
We got information about our student card and StudyNet.
But my student account wasn't activated yet, so I couldn't do anything because I needed my ID to log in to the internet...
Yesterday we only had courses in the morning, because our teacher for the afternoon was ill.
In the morning we got some info about the canteen at school and after that we got a course about the Scandinavian education.
Today we had a guided tour around Viborg. We went to the old centre, visited a museum, visited the dom and made a boattrip on the two lakes.
This is almost the entire group of Animation and Entrepreneurship!

First day
Today was the first day of 'school'.
It was an introduction day, like the rest of the week.
We started in a nice classroom, with comfortable chairs. Not like those in Belgium!
There the teachers and coordinators were presented to us. We also had to present ourselves.
Almost half of the Erasmus students are from Romania.
Then we were offered some breakfast, buns and cheese, tea and coffee.
I didn't eat anything, because I already had breakfast. Who would think you get breakfast on your first day of school?
After breakfast there was a treasure hunt!
We had to answer some questions about school and the answers were found within the building.
That was a way to get us to know our way in school.
My partner and me ended fourth! (The winners got a VIA University College pen)
Then the two modules (Animation as a Learning Tool and Social Entrepreneurship) were presented to us.
We also got some information about other things for school.
The students were getting their Green Card (student card). I did not.
I never got a mail to fill in a form for the card! So I don't have one yet, have to wait...
With our Green Card we can get discount on some food in the cafetaria.
We also can enter the school and almost every room in the building with it, whenever we want. During the day, at night, in the weekend, ... Even the music room, a room with like eight acoustic guitars, two electric guitars, two bass guitars, two pianos, two drums, micros, ... All for us to use!
In the end we had to sing a song. It was an African song (so nobody would know it) the music teacher thought us really fast. Although I forgot it already, it was fun.
Oh yeah, we also got some homework. We need to read a text on the Danish welfare state.
Already read it!

About Viborg
Since school only starts monday, I still have time to explore the city.
I've walked already many kilometers!
Viborg is a very beautiful city! It reminds me both of Ghent and Bruges.
There's a giant lake, actually two lakes and a big park.
One of the lakes is the Nørresø, translated in 'North Lake'.
Here's a picture I took of (a part of) it.
There's also a city center with a lot of shops and a shopping mall.
Unlike most people say, Denmark is not a really expensive city. At least, not for me.
If you compare the prizes with the Euro, there's almost no difference.
If you compare the prizes with like Czech Crowns, it has almost doubled in prize.
So for me it isn't expensive! Yes!
Very close to my campus is a cinema, a bowling alley, a music hall, a bank, ... All on walking distance!
A bit further in the city is a beautiful cemetary, which I still need to visit one of these days.
Close to the cemetary is a church. Well, actually it is a dom.
And next to the dom is a little park with herbs and flowers.
This is a picture of the dom, behind the park.
So in short: Viborg is a very beautiful city and almost everything is within walking distance of my hostel.

Camp Logos Delta
I have arrived!
Well... I've arrived yesterday, but there were some problems with my internet.
So now I have time to write my first real post in Denmark!
The hostel, Camp Logos is very modern. It is really new.
The room is very clean, but empty, so I've decorated it with some Ikea stuff :-)
Here are some photos of Camp Logos Delta.

Now some photos of my (shared) room!

I had to buy new bed linen in IKEA, because the ones they left for my were really ugly....
So... Now my adventure begins!
All settled, waiting for my roommate to arrive tomorrow.
See you next post!
