GIRLS NIGHT IN!

Last night it was time for girls night in. Bea had some friends over for dinner and we ate tortilla. Then for dessert we had grapes, honey melon, popcorn and Ben and Jerry's ice-cream (YUMM!!!). It was great to just have some friends over and just chat about school, boys and everything inbetween.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

Yesterday it was finally the end of the week. Although, I did not go to school most of the week as I was at home sick, sadly :(. However, Friday feeling better it was off to my only class Psychology for the day. After school it was back home for a few hours, cleaned the bedroom, then got ready to go out.
Last night I had a girls night out with Emmi. We went for a lovely dinner together at Fransmanni a lovely french inspired restaurant. It was great to have a meal out and just hang out with my girl. We had an amazing dessert of chocolate macaroons and we just talked and laughed. It was a really nice evening!

VILAVSLUTNING

It has taken me several weeks but I finally have some photos of Villavslutning.
Villavslutning is a celebration of the end of summer. It is something that is only celebrated in the Swedish speaking parts of Finland, so lucky for me that I live in Vaasa.
I spent the weekend at my host family's summer cottage with my host family and some other exchaneg students. It was a great weekend and it was especially cool because we got to let off our own fireworks which is something you just can't do in Australia.
We also went, swimming, sauna, in the hot tub, berry picking and just spent some time with eachother it was really nice.

WE DON'T REMEMBER DAYS WE REMEMBER MOMENTS

It is now a new school week, so it is time to be open minded and ready to focus once again. But now before I give you all the lowdown on the past weekend, which by the way was great! It was just what I needed to get over my homesickness and remind myself of just why I am here, having the best experience of my life.
So this past weekend was spent mainly with some great friends. On Saturday it was an early wake up of 6am so I could catch trains and head off to Särkänniemi for the day. Särkänniemi is a theme park in Tampere about 3 hours away from Vaasa. I spent the day there riding on rollercoasters and visiting Angry Birds Land with some greats friends before heading off back to Vaasa to go to my friendäs house warming party for their new apartment. It was a lot of fun and it wa really nice that it was just all us girl's. That night I spent at Susu and Pinja's place. Then on Sunday I was able to wake up late before going into town to do some shopping with the girl's then it was back home for me. That eveing was spent hanging at home with my host family. I had a great weekend and it is something that I will always remember.
