School, eh nothing too special... Except we found this exciting, mysterious door in the school! It's near the gym and it is 10feet up in the air, the whole day we spent wondering where the door gose, and what's behind it. WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT!!! some day... It was raining in the morning so Anssi drove me, of course that ment I got to walk home, a 45 minute walk it wasnt raining too much then but just enought to be annoying!
tiistai:
Finnish pea soup for lunch!!! yes score! It's funny cause I've never been a huge fan of soup, actually I kinda hated it, I mean it's a liquid, but you "eat" it... something about that isn't right! But here Suomissa (in Finland) soup and I, we're okay.
keskiviikko:
Skipped drama today... hmmm I just don't like it, plus Sanni was meeting her cousin but had an hour to wait so I hung out with her instead. We went to SMarket (an awsome paradise) and laughed at all the foods that were funny to me, and ate all the candy with our eyes, that's another thing, here, Suomissa, their is always a full candy isle!!! It's like the size of American cereal isles, ha that's funny cause I'd say the cereal isle here is about the size of the candy isle in Hannaford... switcherroo! : P. Oh Sanni says her favorite groccery store is K-market (pronounce Co-market) then I got home and Eija brought pizza slices, she said "This is from K-market, I like that store very much" So that's the one grocery store in Hämeenkyrö that I haven't been to so I guess I need to check it out!!! Bändi at 5:15, it was raining so Eija took me then picked me up at 7:00. It was good.
torstai:
I did a presentation in English class about me, where I live, and some differences between here and there. It went well! Eija was home when I got home, she asked me if I had anything to do cause she was going to Kauppatori, I had no idea what that was, but I also had nothing else to do. So I grabbed some money and we went to Kauppatori. It's a magical place!!! It's like a church rumage sale, but consently happening! How it works is people can rent little booths/tables, then price any items they want to sell and leave them in the booths. Went they get sold a percent of the money gose to the Kauppatori, and the rest gose to the person. You can sell anything there!!! It was magical!!! I didn't get anything but Eija got a book and an apple cake. I'll definatly be going back there sometime cause it's only a couple kilometers from our house! And I've been told that there are even bigger ones in Tampere so I'll definatly be looking into those too! I can't even stress enough how great this place was!
perjantai:
Hmmm why do my socks smell like cheetos? I'm not even sure why is smelt them before I put them on in the morning, but I did, and they smelt like cheetos... yummmm.... OH in liikunta (sports class) we played pesäpallo!!! Finnish baseball! It's sorta like American baseball, but way different!!! It's really hard to explain all the rules, but here's a picture that explains a lot:
So that was fun to learn! On my third time hitting I finnaly made it onto a base, then I made it all the way home!!! (of course it helped the the gym teacher was on our team, and hit right after me hitting it very far, it was funny cause once I got to the next base, my team spent the whole time yelling to me to keep running untill I made it home! YEAH!!! After school Sanni and I walked, the 45 minutes to my house. It was raining in the begining, but 2/3rds of the way home it stopped (thankfully) Later, her Äiti picked us up and brought us to Elo, in Ylöjärvi, it's a mall!!! And I bought my first pair of shoes Suomissa!!! They were also my first converse-type of shoes (fake ofcourse) and they were also on sale!!! 5€! Score!!! We found a panda in K-citymarket giving out Pepe samples, two good things together = picture time!!! I got home around 7:30 and no one else was home, but by 8:30 the ENTIRE family was home, I mean everyone together for the first time since the first Sunday I was with them. It was a lot of fun!lauantai:
Anssi had left for his trip to Lapland before I got up. Johanna made an awesome lunch of chicken, pesto with mozzarella. It was soooo good!!! Then we had some of the rice crispy treats I had made earlier, Juhani was the only one who hadn't had them and when he hear what they were made of he didn't seem excited, but after one bite he goes: "God bless America" hahaha That's right! Rice crispys are the bomb!!! Them we walked to the neighboors house for her 90th birthday party!!! Where we ate even more, there was this really amazing soup (again soup's only good to me Suomissa) after finnishing the bowl Eija and Johanna started discussing what was in the soup, guess what! It was moose soup, I mean moose MEAT! The first time I eat moose meat and I didn't even know it haha! If I wasn't so full I would have gotten more so I could re-taste, and really examine what moose tastes like but I was so stuffed and I knew there was much more food to come. Then we all sat around and sang some songs and ate cake and cookies. We left after cake. Then onto the next party! Mummu's house! More food! I had a lot of fun there too! Then we dropped Juhani and Johanna off in Tampere, and went home.
sunnuntai:
Woke up, watched a movie, "Mad Money" with Queen Latifah, I'd been wanting to see it so when I saw it on sale in SMarket for 3€ I couldnt help but buy it! It was really good, not Legally Blonde good, but good! Then I went to catch the bus for Tampere. I arived in Tampere around 4, so I had 2 hours to spare before the concert. After locating the "Tamperen Konservatori" I walked around taking pictures and buying candy. Never say no to candy. The concert was amazing! They had 6 French Horns (Käyrätorvi) and just the whole thing was awesome!!! I plan on playing with them!!!!! Anyway, any how I can, I'm gonna! Oh also on the way home I SAW A MOOSE!!! It was far away, but a moose none the less! SWEETNESS!!! Yesterday I ate one, today I saw one! It was probably the sister of the one I ate yesterday : P Hirvi! (that's moose) Hyvä, hirvi päivä! JA... Hyvä koko viikko!
