Week 3 in Finland (viikko kolme)

Monday (maanantai)
School.... yup oh and in sports/gym class we went to a hotel/spa thing and bowled and did archery. that was cool! they didnt even have the opption to put bummpers on so i did horrable cause ya know usually my bowling stratagie is to make the ball zig-zag down the ally (which recuires bummpers) i did manage one strike! yeah go me!!! And there was a really cool playground with weird trampoline-like bubble mounds of air... idk, and there was this thing that you curl up in and have you friends spin you around and around, like if you were rolling down a hill in a tire. CRAZY FINNS!!! haha

Tuesday (tiistai)
ITS GETTING COLD!!! burr! riding my bike to school was awesome!!! haha wow, just cold. And on the way back it was raining! awesome! haha. Went to my first Rotary meeting, room full of old men and lots of food, that was just where I wanted to be! oh the food was so good!!! And plus none of the old men could speak any english so all I had to do was eat. But I was told that on the 28th of September it will be my turn to talk about my homeland... but I'll get food then too so I'm alright with that!

Wednesday (keskiviikko)
It's my half birthday today!!! yeah! Main thing today was the "orchestra" it's a small band of younger kids, maybe ranging from 9-15, but it's a start, and frankly what else do I have to do on a Wednesday evening? It's a 20 minute bike ride from my house, and I must look rediculous with a horn straped to the back of my bike! haha

Thursday (torstai)
School, home, Eija was in Tampere with Johanna, and Anssi was working, so I just chilled, ate. When Anssi came home he broke out all these piano books from when he took lessons. There are these big books full of songs, some of which I know, there's a Billy Joel song in one of them which I was really excited about!

Friday (perjantai)
Ditched school today, not really "ditch" just Antti was getting oathed or something into the army so we all went to that which took all day standing in the cold. I was in like three sweatshirts cause I havent gotten my winter coat from home yet. But the whole thing was pretty cool, there were 1000 or so men in this area, all lined up, not moving. They all looked the same too! Except for two black guys (who were easily spotted : P) At one point they all took off their hats, and the crowd just started laughing because they all looked exactly the same! Baldish and white!

Saturday (lauantai)
The song of the day is Stand By Me, cause I love that song, and I found it in one of those books Anssi showed me, so I played it on their piano, and it was stuck in my head for the rest of the day! The day was a lazy one, which was nice cause I was kinda tired. Picked a couple apples of the tree in the back yard, they'r so little, nothing like one of Kristy's Barn apples, but they were good

Sunday (sunnuntai) /today
Also a lazy day, it's been raining on and off. Just a day to chill
