A week late, but I'm back 8)
So, december 5th was in the Netherlands ofcourse Sinterklaas, but here they don't know it, so there was nothing special about the day.
December 6th was Finland's independence day, so no school and good food. In the evening there was this important ball or something with important Finnish people that I didn't recognize.
December 7th was a normal schoolday again. After school we had choir, it was fun but the music teacher seems to be getting more and more of a joke.
The 8th was a normal schoolday, nothing special really.
At the 9th we went to the police station after school to give them my birth certificate (Which they copied) and stuff so I'm legal here, and after that we bought me a new pair of jeans.
At friday the 10th I went to a party in the evening. Had a great time, made some new friends, etc.
In the weekend there was the AFS Midstay camp. It was so much fun. We talked a lot ofcourse, and we lied in the snow in the middle of the night to look at the stars! It was so pretty. Ofcourse I was very tired afterwards and it took me a few days to catch back on sleep xD
Last monday was a normal schoolday, started out with music, but we could leave after 15 minutes because the teacher was busy. (Why didn't he just stay away '-_-) Apart from that another normal day.
Tuesday was another normal day + choir, and so were wednesday and tuesday. Tuesday after school there was an extra choir repetition, there were exactly 4 people, and the teacher. But we sang a lot and it went well.
At friday we watched a movie during French (French spoken with Finnish subtitles, guess how much I understood xD), and in the long break there was a ham bingo. Didn't win anything, but it was nice :P
And then yesterday we went to Helsinki to do some shopping, I bought a new book, The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman, and I'm halfway the 500 pages now already :) It's great!
Music for today, 2 songs.
First, Jumala by Apulanta. Jumala is Finnish for God, and the song is great!
And second, a Christmas song in Finnish from the CD Raskaampaa Joulua.
Me Käymme Joulun Viettohon, sung by Tony Kakko.
Enjoy and see you all next week!
Oh, and Dutch-speaking people, don't forget to check the blog again this week, a little surprise for you might appear for Christmas ;)

Hei
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYeah, I love that version too :P
My holiday is 2.5 weeks, but it depends a bit on the school I think 'cause I've heard one person even just having a week or so O.o'
How long is yours?
