FRIENDS AND FUN TIMES!!

hey world, so today is Tuesday and there is only 2 days left until I leave for my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia! I'm sooo excited. Today I was lucky because instead of having a school day of 8-4, it was only 8-1!!! I had so much fun today, nothing special really happened. The only thing is I decided that from now on everyone at school can't speak english to me on Tuesday's and Thursday's only Svenska and Suomi. Yes it was hard because I only understood like 2% of what was being said but I know this way I will learn! As I couldn't understand the day was just a giant game of charades! LOL. After school I caught a train up to Seinajoki to see Kaity! It has been a great day and I really can't wait for St. Petersburg!!!

LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH!!

Ok so once again I'm sorry (anteeksi). Ok so WOW the last few days have been great as has this whole week. I have spent the week with my friends a lot, which has been really nice. On Monday my girl Kaity visited, it was really nice to see her. Then on Wednesday a few of us headed off to Arnolds where we sat for two hours just talking and hanging out, once again it was really nice.
Then on Thursday it was off to the local Finnish theatre with my English class to see 'Death of a Salesman' by Arthur Miller. Although I couldn't understand really anything because it was all in Finnish, it was a great night with everyone filled with so many laughs.
Today is now Friday and it has been a nice day at school with some very funny moments, like with the turtle, the crocodile and the maito (milk). It is a very long story and everybody at school should understand this reference. LOL!! This evening has just been spent at hone with my two gorgeous host sisters as my host parents are away. We have made a lovely dinner, enjoyed a hot sauna and now we are sitting down to some movies and panacotta!
So great week, Finland is amazing!
Only 6 days until St. Petersburg!! :)

LIVE LOVE LAUGH SUPPORT!!!

Today was just a usual day at school, nothing interesting to report. However, tonight that's not the point of this post. I am desperately hoping that by now you have all heard of Joseph Kony and KONY 2012 but if you haven't Joseph Kony is a man in Uganda who is abducting kids from their homes and turning them into child soliders. He steals girls from their homes and forces them to become sex slaves. He has been doing this for over 20 years and has abducted over 30,000 children. It is disgusting and wrong and he should be stopped! 2012 is that year!!!!
So everybody stand up for this cause, we have to stop Kony once and for all! Now please take 30 minutes of your time to watch this video. If you have time to read this post and spend hours on facebook, twitter and tumblr then you have time to watch this video, not only does it make you think but it makes you ACT!
I am a Rotary Youth Exchange student and I support Kony 2012!

GREAT DAY!

I had a great day today! It all started this mrnong when I figured out that I could catch teh 9:30 bus to school instead of the 8:30. Sooo good, now 1 hour extra to sleep everyday! Yes!! Then today at school was nice. After school though was all great fun straight after school I went candy shopping with Catarina and Liisa, then it was off into the city to Arnold's to have coffee and donuts with my sister Kikka! After that I was extremely lucky because my host dad had a meeting in Seinajoki so he took me up there too, to see my girl Kaity for a few hours! We had kahvi and went out fro dinner at Hesburger then t was back off to her place. Later on my host dad picked me up and I came home. I have been in the best mood all day, even though I have plenty of homework, nothing will ruin my mood today!!

THE AUSSIE HAS RETURNED!

hei sorry for my poor blogging skills but here I am again so it's all hyvaa! Ok so in the last few days I have done a lot. On Thursday and Friday I travelled up to Replot with my host mum, host dad and my youngest sister Kajsa to their summer cottage, we statyed overnight as Kikka had some friend over. I had a great time and while there I walked on the ice for the first time, I built my first snowman and I climbed to the top of Vilkku which is like this extremely tall tower thing! It was awesome! I also dug my very first ice fishing hole, it was hard but really cool. On Saturday I had a lazy day at home doing my homework. Oh that was fun! Then on Sunday Kikka, Kajsa and I went into the city where we took a walk and went sledding. It was a great way to end the sports holiday. Monday at sschool was good, it was really nice to see everyone again and well today (Tuesday) I was extremely tired and so was everyone else at school. It was very funny.
