happy birthday to youuuuu. Marias birthday party was a blast, Petra and I swam in the pool for three hours with 11 ten year olds. Haha, it was crazy, but so much fun. Anna rented out the party room at the swimming pool and it had a huge sauna and in the sauna there was this one bench that was like a lift ! Haha, it was really cool. We roasted hot dogs over a fire, ate some finnish cake, fruits and veggies, etc. I also went to Railas [the dress lady] that day and was hoping to retrieve my dress, but when I tried it on, it fell down ! Apparently I've lost weight in the last two weeks ? So now she has to fix it AGAIN. And I don't get it until the 9th, which is 4 days before the dance. Which by the way mom, is on the 13th of February, not in march. I got a package in the mail from my mommy, some really adorable cards :] and a letter from Katy ! My brothers fantastic girlfriend, so that made me happy. Friday was probably the best day of the week, it was just really nice. I had dance in the morning and Joonas and I laughed a lot, and had lots of fun. We learned the Vienna Waltz which has so many crazy turns and spins but is going to look so cool in dresses and tuxes and stuff. Then I had a break and went downtown [of course] with Annina, we bought yoghurt and i got a can of pineapple chunks ! mmmmm, they were so tasty ! My yoghurt was nasty though, we weren't sure what was wrong with it....Then I had psychology which I did most of the takling in, I felt so smart again ! Aha. Then an hour and a half of religion, in which I now have my first homework project I've had in six months....I'm so excited ! They're starting to study Religion in America, so I get to give a presentation, wooo. I'm sort of excited :] So now I have to do research this weekend, and actually DO work, this is so exhilarating. Joonas also invited me to see him sing/act in a play on monday, so I'm super excited for that, he said I can take pictures, just as long as hes not looking :P So maybe you'll get to see that ! After school I came home and we had dinner in which I laughed with Arttu ! Yayyyyy. Actually, he was making fun of me, but whatever it was funny. I was talknig to Raija about skiing and how I didn't like going up or down hills and then Arttu said something in finnish and ended it with "newb" ahahah and it made my day :D I got a letter from matthew as well in the mail [this week was a good week for post, eh ?] And then later that night I planned to hang out with Julia so we went to her house to watch a movie and two of her friends were supposed to come, but it turned into 8 of her other friends, haha. But it was really fun, no one brought any alcohol, so I didn't have any sticky situations, I was worried someone was going to....But we just spoke english the whole night [which is SO hillarious, because most of them suck at it :D] and we played Alias, like Taboo, but the words were in finnish. But they made a rule that you had to describe in english. It was hard for me because I kept having to have someone translate the word, and describing it in a way that Julia would understand was hard as well. ahaha but it was hillarious :] I came home around 12 30, walking home sucked, it was cold. Today its supposed to be -16 again, I want summmmmmer ! I'm most likely going to chill night tonight, we're getting new missionary. And tomorrow I think Annina and I are going to church and then maybe working on my religion project ? I dunno, I might just do that today...I kind of want a lazy saturday, I've had such busy weekends this past month, I just want to sit and stay home. So yeah, then next weeekend I'm having Maria over night at my house ! I'm really excited, as is she, we're gunna go shopping and then watch a movie at my house and eat candies and speak finnish all the time. I'm really excited :D Annnnnnd other than that my life is just wonderful :p

Happy Saturday !
