Today the music teacher was sick again, making my whole morning study halls. After realizing how much time I had, I headed to Tokanni and K-Supermarket to look into some Christmas shopping... Once I got there I realized I must have forgotten my wallet at home... So like in America, no money (or card) no shopping. But I looked anyway cause I had the time. After school Susanna and Juho picked Roosa and I up. We then picked the dogs up and drove to their groomers. While we waited for the groomer to cut the dog's hair we went to Idea Park, one of the biggest malls around... it was big... but I'd say Colonie Center size. Hesburger for dinner YUM! Then went to pick the puppies back up and play with the other puppies that were at the groomers, so cute!

Today went back to Tokmanni, wallet in hand : P, and bought my super secret Christmas presents for some of my school friends... I mention that they are super secret because two of my friends, who were going to get that present, were there with me so therefore... not so super secret. Then we waited in the history hallway working on our hairdos and modle-walks... yeah they were all really impressive walks... and hairdos for that mater. At home my "10" minute talk on skype with Shelby turned into like an hour and 20 minutes... hehe, then I talked to Karah for maybe 20 mins! Ha!

Today... school, again had all study halls before lunch. I bundled up and went on another Christmas present expedition! On the way back I saw Eija in her car! It's such an odd thing to only sometimes see people that you used to see all the time... My music teacher was still sick, but in her place was a gorgeous man, so not all was lost : P (dad probably loves this line. hehe hi daddy!) Then after school I got ready for the Rotary Christmas Dinner. It was such a fun time. Glögi, christmas food, music, they had me play a few songs I'd prepared, then we listened to a recording of F.E. Sillanpää, a local Nobel Peace Price winner, I think where he was born is just a couple kilometers from my house... so. It was such a great evening! I really enjoy hanging out with all the Rotarians, I've decided I'm going to make a shirt that has on the back: Mä <3>

Today in English class we had a listening test... I soooo did really badly! I don't understand how they expect these kids to know the answers, expecially if I can hardly do it (and a lot of the time can't do it) wow!!! I know if they tried to get me to do anything like that in Spanish... man I would have just bombed... Oh wait : P Then for lunch we had Christmas food! Ham and mustard, samon (that was really good, unexpectedly) and lots of other things that I forgot, but all really good!!!

Today... went to Tampere! After school with Sanni and Laura (Laura soon ditched us : P) But Sanni and I had a blast! McDonalds!!! My first Big Mac in FOREVER!!! And I missed their fries and ketchup... Hesburger's ketchup, just isn't the same... too sweet, not enough salty I think. There was a Joulu Tori (a Christmas Market) in the city center, a bunch of little shed-like selling booths all decked out in Christmas cheer and lights all over, there was a Santa Claus too, but we stayed away from him cause they're kinda creepy... Then we hit up all the Sales in the other stores, I restrained myself cause you can't buy too much for youself before Christmas. That's just the rule, but after Christmas I'm going back there for sure!!!lauantai:
Today I sleep in! Around noon we went to go pick Roosa up from a sleepover she was at. They dropped me off at Tokmanni and KSupermarket to do some last minute baking supply shopping. Then Roosa and I baked the rest of the day! It was sooo tireing... but fun too. Then just a relaxing day!sunnuntai:
Today was a lazy day too. I didn't have to do anything, except for the last Christmas concert. That was at 6:00, so that was fun, It was the same concert as last Sunday, only in a different place. I liked it at the Church last Sunday better, but it wasn't as cold here! Juice and buns and cookies and marshmellow when it was over. It's funny. They do have marshmellows here, but they are usually colored, a bit flavored, and they eat them just like skittles... or m&m's... hmmmm. Once home Roosa and I realized that it was Sunday night and that means Monday morning is really soon... meaning school. : ( but only a couple more days then LOMA!!! (BREAK!!!)
