kahdeksan toista
Woo, keskiviiko. Wednesday. I learned a lot today, I guess I can start with that. I now know four complete sentences, all of which are useful in everyday life. Where are you going? Minne sä oot menossa? I'm going to sauna. Minä mennen sauna. You go to sauna with me? Sinä mennet sauna kanassina? [i think..] And Good morning, my name is Jocelyn Swanberg. I am pleased to meet you. Huomenta, nimeni on Jocelyn Swanberg. Hauska tutustua tetä. And I did all of that from memory :] School was nice, we took a lottt of notes in psychology about how different "scans" work, like the PET scan, CAT scan, etc. Spanish was fun, Aino and I laughed at how I can't roll my r's, at allll. And art was fun too, we got to paint ! So that was cool, I like painting. At lunch I didn't know anyone, but I still went and asked this one boy if I could join him. He said he didn't mind, and after a while started asking where I was from and such. I asked him if he played any sports, he said that he used to play ice hockey, and now he plays floor hockey on wednesdays. He seemed pretty chill, but I forget his name, they're all so different sounding ! Uh, I napped in the afternoon because it was raining outside and no one was home, so I didn't really have much to do. It was a nice nap :] Maria and I had another 45 minute sauna tonight, but it felt reallyyy good. Lauri isn't getting his haircut until next week or even the week after, I'm not really sure why, something to do with the coaches I guess. So you'll have to wait on that. Kara, I have planned the greatest birthday present ever, I just hope I have the guts to actually do it. But now you have something to look forward toooo :] Uh, and tomorrow I have a Rotary meeting, so that will be nice, free lunch and no school, who wouldn't go ? And I think that's all for today, I'm off to watch Mrs. Doubtfire !

Hello Jocelyn!
So you have been in Jyväskylä!
A place nearby is Vaajakoski.
I spent 9 months living and working in Vaajakoski in 1956/57.
Nobody in Finland spoke English then, so I had to learn Finnish.
Now, 50+ years later I am a Finnish teacher in England.
Have fun with Finnish! It is a facinating language.
