maanantai (Monday)
A pretty much awesome day! At school I think I managed to not pay attention to what was happening in any class I was in... except in music class. Instead I just worked on remembering words. In English I worked on verbs, geography, weekdays and months... yada yada (oh fun fact! all the months in finnish end with 'kuu' which in finnish means month... soooo its like each moon of every month has a different name, pretty cool!) My sports class took a trip to Tampere to go rock climbing and play lasertag. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I have to say I'm a pretty good lasertagger... yeah lasertagger. Rock climbing was great too, but lasertag was amazing! My friend Piia and I defended our base, and these two little random boys kept coming up from behind and killing us. They were like two feet tall, we couldn't see what hit us! It was a game with three teams and 18 players, all but those two boys were from our sports class so why they were there? i'm not sure... I came out number 6 of 18! Yeah go me! Poor Piia was lucky number 18 of 18 but who's keeping track... (okay so I think everyone dose but what eva)
tiistia (Tuesday)
Wow another variation of hot dog soup has found it's way to me once again! This time it was more chunks of meat in the soup... it's so weird to me. It was raining when I had to ride my awesome finnish bike home, so I stopped in the library to return a book I had taken out (it was a little kids book and the stupid kids on the cover annoyed the heck outta me so 'they, have got ta go!') Then I spent a good 45 minutes in the little kid section (we're talking baby book section) trying to read some/any book. I only succeded with like one (it was the kind of book with a picture of an apple or something, then it says the name... so that's kinda sad) I can't read! ahhhh. Then I went to S Market! I wanted cookies!!! SURPRISE! My friend Sanni jumped outta no where, scared me a little, she was waiting for the bus to Tampere to go pick up her new camera so she was getting something to eat. She showed me that here in Finland, they put burgers pre-made (with buns and everything) in bags for you to buy then stick in the microwave! Oh you tricky Finns!!!
keskeviikko (Wednesday)
Today is the day of sexy legs!!! seriously I biked like a thousand kilometers! To school and back (4kms up-hill each way :P ). Grabbed something to eat, strapped my horn to the back of my bike (seriously I must look crazy with this thing haha) Then about an eight km ride to band and back... So maybe more like 24ish km... but still. There's this one long hill that I had to go up on the way back from band, seriously I was gonna die, and the only thing that kept me going was just thinking how good my legs are gonna look if I keep all this biking up!
torstia (Thursday)
Today was good... the most exciting thing that happend... OH in math class today the teacher, 10 minutes from when class ended got so frustrated that people were talking that he threw his pen down, yell a bunch of stuff in finnish, then kicked us out... I mean I don't have to know any finnish at all to know he was ticked off! Let's see... Oh I finnaly made it to the cute little bakery shop across the street from the school! I got an awesome cinnimon roll with amazing carmel topping for 1€, good trade! Then my friends and I played cards and I taught them Egyiptian Ratscrew... it was a good time!
perjantai (Friday)
Okay so today was pretty much one of the best days ever!!! So in finnish lukio (highschool) they have this thing, idk the name, but it's like a spirt week in a day mixed with kill the freshmen day. So a couple weeks ago they told the first graders (freshmen) that the theme for this day (which was today) was "pimps and hoes" So the first grade boys had to dress up like hoes, and the girl like pimps, I know pretty awsome. Some 2nd and 3rd graders put signs on all the doors to get into the building except for one saying first graders couldn't enter. So here you have all these pimps and hoes wondering around the outside of the school, in the cold, trying to get in. (Priceless) Plus when we got into to school there were all these signs saying "first graders must do this, can't do that" I'm not sure what they all said but they had the 1st graders doing some pretty funny things! There also were lines in tape all through the hallways and the 1st graders were only allowed to walk on those lines. Then, the last class of the day was canceled and we all went to the gym to see them preform the dance the 2nd and 3rd graders had taught them (it was hilarious) and then they had to do a three legged opsticle course (also amazing) and then they had to clean up all the signs and tape that the 2nd and 3rd graders had put all around the school (also great) *note to America* We need to start this!
After school I took a bus to my friend Sanni's house. It was so cool, I think it was my first time on a public transportation bus (not including school buses, but idk if those are considered public...) We hung out, played uno with her little sister, watched AWESOME youtube videos, ate dinner, then headed to the party. I think it was like a student government organized event. It was sooooo much fun! It was at this place ontop of like a mountain or something idk, and it was had this really big open room with a stage on both ends and three old cars in the corner (they were really cool cars) and we danced the entire night! Can't even explain how much fun I had! Can't even.
lauantai (Saturday)
Today's the day I was introduced to Oreos' very attractive cousin Domino, oh he's fine! Milk's favorite cookie may need to step up his game to keep that title : P I also remembered to recharge my Ipod so now I have unlimited Billy Joel!!! And I don't even want to calculate how many countless hours I spent working on my Rotary presentation, but I started it today, and finnished it!!! Sorta, now I've got to practice it and I'm probably gonna change all the words from English to finnish so the Rotarians can understand what's going on. But there's a lot of pictures which as everyone knows "A picture's worth 1000 words." in English OR finnish!
sunnuntai (Sunday)
Today has been a slightly lazy day. Woke up around 10 for breakfast, then just chilled, worked on learning finnish names for foods, then around 3 Anssi took me to Eija's brother's farm where they were having a day open to the public to learn about siene (mushrooms). Wow hold on to your socks!!! But I had know idea!!! There are so many kinds!!! I mean I knew there were a lot of different kinds of mushrooms, but... wow! And the cartoon mushroom you always see that has a white steam, then red top with speckles on the top... it's real, I saw it today. I always thought it was just a made up mushroom. It's not... So that was my siene-filled day and now Ima go eat something.
