So this morning began kind of oddly. I got to school at 7 45 and headed to the art classroom, there were a lot of people hanging around, but the door to the art room was locked, so I just sat on the steps. At 8 or so, the teachers of the surrounding classrooms showed up and all of the kids sitting near me all went inside. So there I was, sitting by myself, and I think it was then that I realized something was wrong. The Italian exchange girl showed up about a minute later, and Chet about two minutes after that. It seems that the exchagne students missed a memo...We went and found our counselor, Marjatta, who found out that the art class was canceled...She showed us to an english class that we could take, but when we walked in there weren't any seats. Marjatta said that we could go find other chairs, but we were already too embarrassed to ever walk in again so she showed us to a different english class. This time there were a few seats, so now I'm taking an english class ! I think we're just there to help out and such, I think it'll be fun though :] Afterwards I had a four hour break so I went home for a bit. I watched a movie, listened to some music, and ate some lunch before heading back downtown. I had a spanish class that started at 1 25, so I headed there. The teacher never showed up, and I had to leave at 1 50 for my finnish lessons, so it was pretty much a pointless class for that day. Finnish lessons were pretty fun, we played a verb conjugation game, I was Zorro ! Afterwards I walked over to the Mormon church, without Annina this time, she had choir practice. Tonight, however, was Casey's last chill night in Jyväskylä :/ He's being transfered to Helsinki tomorrow, so we had a party for him tonight. HOME MADE ROOT BEER FLOATS ! Finns don't drink root beer, it isn't sold here, so it was really nice, and tasty ! :] It was a lot of fun, although kind of sad, but Jasons still here, so chill nights will still happen. After I got home I had some dinner, watched some TV, took a shower, and watched The Simpsons with Maria. And now I'm watching Harriet the Spy, ah, I missed this movie, I used to want to be her when I was little, her life was so cool. Anyways, so now I'm going to sleeeep, have a nice night !

I'd like now to inform you of a terrible happening today, a school shooting in a town about two hours from my town. The man was in his early twenties and ended up killing 11 people, and then himself. It's all over the news here, a lot of people are affected by it. Theres an exchange student living in this city, Kauhajoki, but he's fine, so that's good. You can read about it online, I'm not sure if it's hit international news yet. Anyways, so that's whats going on over here, keep me posted about back home.
