ice skating

ON THE FROZEN LAKE. Today we went ice skating on the lake ! Probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my entire life, and quite possibly the most painful...but also one of the funnest [?] things I've ever done too :) Yes yes , of course I have videos :D My host dad took them and theyre not too bad actually. Check 'em out : www.photobucket.com/josesuomessa (I'm probably going to stop using youtube for videos because photobucket uploads faster and in bulk so its much easier.) My host brothers are skiing right now, so the house is quiet. Later on tonight I'm supposed to go walking with this one girl that lives down the street ? I haven't met her before, my host mom gave her my number...? But she seems nice ! So hey, I guess it'll be fun. School yesterday was alright, nothing too interesting, the start of a new period however. I'm taking art [oooh shocker.], psychology :), a religion history course in finnish with Annina [thatttt'll be interesting.], and the dance class with Joonas so that I can learn the dances for the big dance on February 13th ! Boy oh boy. We're learning 6 different dances, the salty dog rag, virgina something, the waltz, tango, and two other finnish dances, hopefully not oompa or jenkka, I hate those dances. But my life is practically perfect right now :) Each time I tell someone who I'm dancing with at the dance thing, they all say the same thing "Oh my goodness, you are so lucky, he's SUCH a good dancer, and so nice and sweet. You're gunna have so much fun." etc. So I'm really excited, espescially cause Joonas danced last year as well, so he knows the dances and as long as I'm a good follower, I'll be just fine. I hope....Tomorrow is our first day of actual dancing, I guess we'll see how it all goes. OH. and today we had the day off of school, its some national finnish holiday. I dunno why, in honor of some guy or something. But hey, I don't mind :D My hair is looking fabulous today, you can see it in the videos, I like it a lotttt. Although I really wish it would grow longer faster, my hair suckkkks at growing quickly :/ This was a really interesting blog, i hope you had fun reading !
