seitseman

Well goooood eveing :] ah, my first non-school night. Today was fabulous. School was alright, I finally have someone to talk to in art class, Houie, he's from Australia. We practiced shading today, it wasn't really all that fun, but it was better than sitting and listening to something for two hours I guess. Music class was alright, we had to make up a rhythm that depicted a word that we were given, our word was "sophisticated". I atteneded a meeting in the morning with Annina that was about the school's birthday events. I joined the school choir and the parade! I'm really excited for it, it's going to be going on the first week of October. Psychology was really boring, we talked about neurons and cell structures and other things that I learned last year in biology. So I wrote letters! I managed to get nine done, I'll try and send them soon :] And thennnnn, after school I was invited to go shopping with Annina and her friend Piia, pee-ya, in downtown Jyväskylä! It was so much fun, and I purchased my first item in Finland! A purple pullover from H&M. Its really cute, I like it a lot. We were downtown for two and a half hours and then I caught the bus home. Anna's parents came over to visit, so I got to meet them, they have really good english compared to most of the elderly generation, Harri's parents don't speak any English at all. Maria and I had sauna tonight, for the past few nights it has turned into a water war, but its a lot of fun :] I'm learning a lot from her, I have now memorized all of the question words, well the basic ones. Who what when where why and how. Who - Kuka, what - mitä, when - miloin, where - missä, why - miksi, and how - kuinka. :D Kulmää means cold, kumma means hot. I'm practically fluent ;] Harri told me that he and Anna feel that I have been here a lot longer than a week, and that I fit in just fine with their family, so that was nice to hear. I hope all is well! Have a wonderful night :]
