kuusi toista
monday monday monday. The longest school day of the week, along with scout meetings and soccer practice. And somehow, it's already over. Art was great, I made the decision to make new friends and moved tables, leaving poor australian Houie all by himself. But he wasn't much fun anyways, he just mumbled a lot. So I moved over to a new table and talked the whole time, it was really nice. Then Annina and I walked to P.E., which happened to be about 2.5 kilometers away from the school. They do a lot of leaving campus here in Finland, I do enjoy it, except when you have to walk to gym, that's not much fun...We were going to play pesapallo today, finnish baseball. And oh my word is it different. The pitcher stands next to home plate and throws the ball directly upwards and then the batter tries to hit it while the rest of the outfield is just waiting. Ah, it's too hard to explain, it's just way different. But fun in some odd way. Lunch was alright today, we had potatoes, although they were kind of chilled, and meatloaf in the shape of hamburger patties. We sat with Piia and her friend, again, forgot the name...And then I had a nice two hour break. I sat in the commons and read "Blue Like Jazz" -Donald Miller which is by the far the greatest book I have come across. I thank my older brother Jordan, he gave it to me. It is so insightful, and makes you wonder so much about your own life and your own personal relationship with God. Ah, I highly reccomend that you read this book, it is so good. And I am not one for reccomending books because I'm insecure in my own thoguhts, but I know this book is good. We had a test in spanish, in finnish. My teacher translated most of the instructions, I think I did pretty well, some of it was still a little confusing. And I keep mixing up my finnish with spanish. I forget what an orange is in spanish, I just learned what it was in finnish. So that was kind of dumb, same with the word money, raja in finnish, but it took me ages to figure out dinero for spanish. But I think it was alright...When I got home Maria asked if I could go to her Scout's meeting with her. I went, but it was kind of dumb cause I didn't do anything. Just stood around while they did everything, she just likes to have me with her, thats what Harri said. And then we went to football practice, soccer, which is always fun. The girls are always asking Henna and Heidi [hay-dee] how to say things in english, and they wanted me to play with them today, so that was fun :] Andddd, I think that's it. !
