seitseman toista

So today was great, except I woke up two minutes before I had to leave for the bus, so I had no time to get ready or anything. We did dancing in P.E. today, like waltzing, and traditional finnish dances, Uumpa and Jenkka. I asked four different guys to dance, the second and fourth were really cuteee :] Lunch was good, I found new people to sit with, I finally broke away from my Annina circle and asked to sit with different people, it was nice. I felt good about it. And then after lunch when I was waiting for the classes to make our trip to Harju, this kid I met on my third day here, who usually waves to me and says hi, came and sat by me and talked to me about Finland and its history. It was really nice, his name is Veikko [vay-koh], and he's super cute too, but he has a girlfriend...darn! But then the classes went up to Harju to compete for points on like creativity and class spirit and what not, like we had six different stations around the track and we would do them and try to earn points from the judges based on creativeness. Chet, the canadian, was in my group, so I had someone to talk to. One of our stations had to do with Finnish songs, where the judges would say the title and we were supposed to sing the song the best we could. Chet and I obviously had no idea what the songs were, so we just hummed alot and shouted a lot. It was funny, but we got points for trying ! Chill night was great too, we played two truths and a lie, which was hillarious, and Casey, Jason, and I attempted to draw the united states, which we realized we couldn't really do...but it was fun anyways. And then I enjoyed a nice 45 minute sauna with Maria and Anna, so I feel quite clean. I hope you had a wonderful day as well !

P.S. I would like to refrain from hearing about the everyday life back in the states, it will only hinder the type of experience I will have here. Please only e-mail me when it is urgent, hand written letters are much more appreciated. Please respond to this if you would like my address here in Finland. Thanks so much !
