maanantai:
Pesäpallo again! I ran a couple home runs, the rules got harder for me to understand today, something about when the pitcher dosnt pitch right a certain number of times you get to go to the next base... I'm still not really sure, I just know I ran around the bases a couple times! Yeah go me!!! : P After school Eija took me to have tea with her sister in Nokia. It was a lot of fun and her sister tried helping me with my finnish by only asking me questions in finnish. At first it was great cause I understood mostly everything and could respond. But by the end of the night her questions got to be like 30 seconds long of her talking really fast, (half the time I wasnt sure she was talking to me until she said my name) then 10 more seconds of her talking, then a pause... "uhhhh" I said, then Eija would tell me what she asked. haha It really was a great deal of fun! We stayed there for a good three hours at least. Got home around 10, Hyvää Yötä (good night)

tiistai:
School was good. In maansa (geography) I gave a presentation on where I came from, wooo shoot out to Castelton, the Mohican Native American tribe, the Dutch and the Ice Industry that founded C-town! Last class of the day was government. Sanni and I found it hard to consentrait on the class when the pictures in the government book were so funny... we also found it hard to keep our giggles hidden from the rest of the class. I guess they just didn't find the pictures as funny as we did : P After dinner, It was just Eija and I cause Anssi was wandering in Lapland with a friend for the week, the door bell rang. Eija got up to get it, didn't open the door then called me. Many thoughts went through my mind: was it the new baby of the family that was born last friday?, did someone from New York miss me so much they flew out here just to see me?, was it some hot guy looking for me?, was it some hot guy with chocolate and flowers for me?, Eija says "Is this a friend of yours?" I peek out the window by the door, "Nope I don't know him," then she says "okay I'm not going to open the door" I was taken back by this remark, I me the man obviously saw us and knew we were there, and we both were kinda giggling, he could hear us, he kept ringing the doorbell then gave up and went to the neighboors house. haha that's a good trick to have, I thought it was funny...

keskiviikko:
I bought a roll of cookies today, they were just a pain kind vanila waffers with fudge filling, I wasnt expecting much but when I discovered that with milk they taste like the elf/elmer fudge cookies, there was no turning back. There were only a couple survivors that only lasted till the next day. Later Eija drove me to band cause she didn't have to work. Band was good, Densku brought me music from the library to play (here you can get sheet music from the libraray) that's awesome!!! After band Eija showed me some family pictures and baby pictures of the kids, awww Finnish babies : P

torstai:
Math class was crazy today, that teacher I'm pretty sure is going to burn out, he almost through his pen again (that would have been the thrid time) and he looked at his watch 23 times, that's in 75 minutes, I don't think he likes our class at all. We had a study hall after lunch so we went to TOKMANNI!!! Yeah, I bought candy! It was great. After school I went to that rummage sale place I went to last week with Eija. I think I was there for a good two hours. spent like 7 € on a jacket with a rediculous amount of zippers and pockets, a nice top, a bag, a book I'm gonna try to read, and an Ank ankku comic book (the finnish Donald Duck, people subscribe to this comic and it comes every week, but I just wanted one for myself so I could write translations in it) On the way back to the house I rode past this rock mountain thing, I couldn't help it, so I hid my bike and climbed it! yeah queen of the rock. It was really cool, here they have a lot of those random huge rocks, I bet they are from the glacers... Eija and I watched the Scream 2, it was creepy, but also made the movie: Scary Movie, a lot funnier to me! After it was over Eija discovered that the light in the attic was on and she didnt know why, so we had to venture up there to make sure there were no phico pathic killers up there, there weren't so we went to bed.

perjantai:
Today was the first day of tests! Math test... I think it went okay, there was only maybe one or two questions I wasnt completly sure what they were asking, so I just gave a lot of answers and hoped that the teacher would see the right one. (this was also a stratagie I used in English math classes) After the test we were free to go, we stayed for lunch anyway then went to Reeta's house for a movie night. I got to ride on the back of Sanni's scooter! It was sooooooo cool!!! I want one when I get home! The movie night was awesome, we made rice crispy treats, ate candy, popcorn, chips, and rice crispys of course, we saw: The Code (with the beautiful Antonio Banderas, and the great Morgan Freeman) then a British comedy: Hot Fuzz, which was funny all up to the end when it just got creepy, it made me afraid to live in small towns... ohhhhh Both Anssi and Antti came home tonight.

lauantai:
Woke up, made poradge. Eija was at work, and Anssi anounced that today we would clean the house. So Antti hid in his room, he had a head cold. Anssi and I rolled up all the carpets, brought them outside, and I wacked them with some weird wooden, woven thing, (I got a blister : ( and my arm got really tired) then we vacuumed, mopped, dusted, brought the carpets back in, then we were done. Anssi took me out for lunch, to a pizza kebab place, we both had kebabs (they aren't the kind on a stick) Let me tell you, I have discovered the Gyro's Finno/Iraquin long lost brother. It was soooo good!!!! There are many of these pizza kebab places around Finland, mostly owned by people who have moved to Finland from Iraq. I can't even stress how good it was. But it was big. Huge! So when I got home I took a long walk. I discoverd more of those huge rocks, so I climbed and conqured them all! It was a tireing day!

sunnuntai:
Woke up, again, made some more poradge, Johanna was home! She soon left back to Tampere. It was a lazy day, just chilling around the house. I went on another walk but didn't find any big rock mountains this time... Then I was home, Both Eija and Anssi were at work and I was hungery for more than just a sandwich, so I expiremented with cooking potatoes! I had never done it before. My first attempt I made a kind of thickish potatoe chip. Next I attempted to make hash browns but didn't get the slivers thin enough so I mixed it with egg and put some ketcup on it, It was good too. THEN I used the smallest potatoe I could find and I DID make me some hash browns, they were good. And I was full. Now I'm blogging, and got to go to bed cause tomorow I have a music test.
