Sunday the 15th, slept quite long and then Alex & I got the guitars over to the part where we slept and made some music. Around 5 o'clock we brought all the stuff back to my room and then we went to the centre, ate pizza and waited for Aki to pick us up to go watch the icehockey finals at Elisa's place. Finland - Sweden. Had a great evening, and Finland won!! So it was a very good day :)
Monday I started out with the English speaking course, and then history, jump hour, the other English and music class. When I got home, around 5, I noticed how tired I was. I lied down, and the next moment it suddenly was 9 o'clock.
Tuesday I had the English speaking course again, and that was it, hung around a bit and played some cards until it was time for Ultimate Frisbee, and after that Hesburger and going home.
Wednesday I started with history, then a jump hour where we played cards, then English and then another jump hour, after that music class. I got a lot of friends to write on my Finnish flag!
Thursday I went to school for lunch, worked on a presentation and then on to Helsinki with history class! The excursion was okay, as far as I understood what was going on. After that Alex and I went to Helsinki for some souvenir-shopping! Bought quite a bit already, but I have to go get some more.
Friday was exactly 9 months since I arrived.. Wow! I went to school for lunchtime, finished the English presentation, then I had a jump hour where I played some cards, and then in English speaking class Jenny, Sara and I had our presentation. It went pretty good. Then Hesburger and on to seurakuntatalo, it was nice and I got some more people to write on my flag!
On saturday the 21st I just slept pretty long and then went for a walk and got icecream :) Apart from that I didn't do that much, played some guitar, played some piano, etc..
On sunday it was a bit the same, read quite a bit and played some piano, took a walk, etc..
On monday I had my last classes.. 1st hour I had the English speaking test with Kristiina, it went pretty good! After that history, it was pretty okay, and then a jump hour. Played some cards, and then English class. In the last hour I had music class, where I got some more names on my flag. And that was my last class on Vihdin Lukio, ever (most likely). It's weird..
On tuesday I still got to school, I didn't have any classes but I still wanted to go. Played cards for almost the whole day and had a lot of "this could be the last time we do......" moments with Alex.
On wednesday I slept pretty long, then took a long walk. Spent the rest of the day behind my laptop and guitar, and watched quite some Supernatural episodes.
On thursday I played piano for quite a while when I was home alone, and eventually I went on a walk.
Friday was much the same. In the evening I went to seurakuntatalo, had a good evening again. After that I had to start packing for..
AFS end of stay camp. Got there on saturday morning. We had a lot of 'sessions', where we basically talked about the year and about going home and what's gonna be different and what's gonna be the same. Of course we also played a lot of games and we had the talent show, where we played a mix of Scandinavia and the World and Harry Potter. I ended up playing a German Snape xD Then we talked most of the evening, and the next day after breakfast and another session we had to start packing again. After that another session and some more games. At 4, after a lot of hugging everyone and all that stuff, I got picked up and the others left to Helsinki with the bus. Had a great camp, but I was very tired.
Monday the 30th I had my test, English. It went alright. After school to the store with my host mom, I needed a nice & neat top. After that I just relaxed at home, made some sudokus :P
On tuesday I made a nice walk and watched a bunch of Supernatural episodes. Played some guitar too.
On wednesday I went to Linnanmäki with Alex. It was great! First we ate pizza in Helsinki, and then we eventually found the park. We went in most of the rollercoasters - I told Alex to ignore all of my reasons to not go xD - and got very sick after one attraction. Oh, and the water coasters were fun, but by the time I got home, a couple of hours later, I was still soaking xD
On thursday I recorded the last backing vocals with Juho, Pietari and Alpi. It was nice, but there were so many mosquitos!
Friday was the day to pick up our grades from school. For the speaking course I got a 10, and graded in C1+2 for fluency, that's the highest possible from the course I think! For the other English course we didn't get a grade, but the test looked pretty good too. In the evening I went to seurakuntatalo, we grilled. Was nice :D
Saturday there was a graduation ceremony at school, where we off course went to watch. It lasted long and it was really warm inside, but it was nice to see. During the day Alex and I went to Elisa's graduation party, it was nice, very fancy! And in the evening we went to Anna's school's-out party! It was so nice and I had great fun!
School is now OFFICIALLY over, it's so weird. It means I'm almost going home..
Sunday I used to catch up sleep, then I took a walk, it was so warm! So I got icecream. There were pancakes for lunch!
Monday I slept quite long, and during my walk I noticed that it was freaking hot again. Apart from that some guitar and computer.
Tuesday was another lazy day, this time I was smart enough to take my walk in the evening, it was still quite warm, but a whole lot better this time!
On wendesday I started out pretty lazy too, but in the evening I went to seurakuntatalo - the youth evening is on wednesdays now it's summerholiday - had a nice time again. Played Imago for most of the evening :)
Thursday was lazy again, I updated my PSP and played guitar and sat behind my laptop. In the evening I took another walk, but it was still very very warm.
On friday I went to Jenny's place, had a nice day. We talked a lot and she showed me Tumblr. Got home around 5, ate, and read a bit. It's still quite warm but we did get some rain.
And saturday I slept late again, I was home alone most of the day so I played quite some piano and guitar, great! For the rest I didn't do too much, took a walk around 7, still very warm.
