kaksi kummenta

Number twenty ! Ah, and thank goodness it's friday. I got to sleep in this morning, it was so nice to wake up at 8 30 :] Art was definitly fabulous, we got to paint ! I loveeee painting and our goal for this paper was to use at least 20 colors, so it was really fun. And I sat with two new girls, so I made new friends as well. Lunch wasn't that great today, justttt potatoes and salad. But I found Piia and we found out that we both share an undying love for rye crisp, ah, it's delicious ! Uh, music was alright, more finnish, more finnish, more finnish. But the teacher had her kid in class today, he was probably six or something, and the cutest thing ever. He was playing with transformers, it was so adorable. Psychology was good today, because for the first half of the class all we did was ask me questions about schooling in the U.S. And then we went to this ceremony of all the graduating IB [international bachleaurate] students who passed their exams last year. It was sort of cool, the choir is amazing. It only has about 12 students in it, but they're all so loud and so animated, and so good. Ah, it was really nice. We sang some finnish songs, and Auld Lang Syne, which was kind of weird. But good, and the kids in my psychology class talked to me a lot :] And then I came home, read a little, took a shower just because, and kind of sat around. But then Maria and I rode our bikes over to her cousins house. Annas brother Jaako and his wife are the ones with Miika, Sonja, and Miia. Miika is the kid with all the track awards. And by all the track awards I mean he has over 40 medals in his room ! It was really fascinating. He and I played a game of pool, and the girls and I played bingo, so I'm really good at my numbers now. Uh, and now we are about to leave and pick up Maija from the train station ! I might not be able to post tomorrow, so I'll be on as soon as I can !
