Week 3 & 4

Okay, hi all

I'm sorry for my lack of update in the last week, but I first had camp in the weekend, and then I was really tired, and then I got a light flu and felt pretty crappy too xD It just didn't exactly go as I planned it, but I'm back now with an überlong update about 2 weeks =D

Week 3:

So, on the 17th day, Sunday the 5th, I had a relaxed day. Playing some guitar, been at the stables pretty long (Okay, that was quite boring, but whatever :P), etc..

On Monday we made the schoolphotos, that was interesting. Find out where you have to be, together with 3 other exchange students, in a Finnish school xD But we found it with some help, and it was okay.

Tuesday I watched Wit Licht, for a presentation in music class, beautiful movie! In the evening I watched NL-FI soccer game. The Netherlands won, ofcourse 8D Was fun to see, especially because I was the only one supporting Dutchland xD

Wednesday was the day I had to present in music class. Went quite okay, told some things about the music in Wit Licht, and about Marco Borsato as a singer in general.

On Thursday we had a little test, where I got 24/28 points without even having the book xD So I already have a + for the test in the upcoming testweek :)

Friday was quite an ordinary day, school (including 3 hours of nothing, I bought candy for camp :P), and at home making some music :)

In the weekend there was AFS orientation camp! It was so much fun :D We played some games and had 'sessions' with the campleaders, in little groups, where we talked about problems that could come up. Was good to talk about ofcourse. And I talked with so much other people and it's so nice :D On the second day there were 2 more sessions, and we got the results of the "talentshow" we had the day before. We won 8D Then we played more games, in one of them I slipped (on stones & sand), opened up one of my knees, and one of my hands, nothing too bad. Then we got home, and as soon as I lied down I was asleep, to wake up 5 hours later, realizing that the whole house was sleeping and that I should probably change to pajamas, brush my teeth, and continue sleeping :P

That week I looked up quite some stuff from Kopspijkers, with some hilarious songs in them. This is a sketch with 'Bush' singing You were always on my mind.

Week 4:

Monday I was still really tired. In some classes it was very hard to stay awake (A). After school some regular stuff, guitar, TV, laptop.

On Tuesday we went to the store to bring back the little bottles and get money for them.. 10 bottles.. €2,- (A) After school there was choir, where my throat got pretty messed up. In the evening Anniina helped me with making my schedules for the coming periods.

Wednesday was a long day! First school, then we went to the police station to fill in some things. After that Finnish lesson :D I like it :D Can't wait till my Finnish starts looking like something :P

In the evening we watched a concert for a good charity on TV, that was quite fun :P

On Thursday we had another jump hour, and I decided to get new money for my cellphone.. WHOA what an adventure ö We went to R kioski, and I was like "Hi.. I need new money for my cellphone, from DNA." and the woman was like "Okay, do you want it on receip or *something*" and I was just like, what's the easiest? And I had to give my number, and she did something in the computer, and a few minutes later I got a text message (In Finnish) that I in school got translated by someone, saying the money is on my cellphone :D I love it :D

In English class we got our essays back, I have 88 out of 100 points, and a big compliment from the teacher!

Flu was getting better today, throat wasn't on fire anymore, but my nose was still running.

On Friday there was the 3 hours of nothing during school again. We went to K citymarket, and I got the brilliant idea to buy a Finnish magazine, just because Tarja Turunen was on the cover. After school we bought a FI-NL-FI dictionary, so now I can start translating the article xD

When I was chatting with Iivari we tried to translate the title, "Olemme Marcelon kanssa halihiirulaisia", but we couldn't find halihiirulaisia in dictionary and internet dictionary. Iivari knew that "hali" means hug, and "hiirulaisia" means mouse, tho. We ended up having a huge laughing attack because we were imagining Marcelo Cabuli (& Tarja) hugging mice xD

(The title is just saying that Tarja is very happy with Marcelo, we found out later. Anniina told me "halihiirulaisia" is a word to show that you're very happy and lucky or sth)

And then today we went to the car stores to buy a car for Anniina, after that we went to the stable to hear that Vesku (one of the horses there) died due to colic, yesterday :(

And I just heard that tomorrow we will go to my host-grandpa&grandma, and we leave at 7.30 AM O.o'

The song for this week is "White flag for peace" by Disco Ensemble:

Next week I'll be updating again!

Moika :D
