Yes yes

Yes, I meant to post a blog yesterday, but I have this thing called a grumpy host brother who loves to play counter strike which requires a lot of bandwidth and I therefore cannot be on the internet. BUT he only talks to me if I ask him a question, any other time, like when hes mad if I’m online, he whines to his mom. Its so stupid and annoying, he had his girlfriend over yesterday, from 4-7 30 and I wanna give them their privacy yanno ? so I don’t go upstairs when theyre here. Then once sanelma leaves I go upstairs to finally use the internet, just to hear arttu teling his mom “mom, can you tell jose to get off the computer, it slows down my gameeee” and I understand finnish, so I know what hes saying. Raija doesn’t ever say anything to me, she knows that he gets grumpy, but then he just sits at the computer and slams the mouse and keyboard because it goes slow and goes “aiiitiiiiii [moooommmm]” so I just got up and left and was unable to blog. And that’s my excuse. Anyways, so, Sunday afternoon….I’ve sort of not gone to church in a while, which I know its not a good excuse, but I hatehatehate having to go an hour early to everything and come home an hour late just because of the bus and the 20 minute walk…it really sucks. So I decided that I would have church at home ! I figured something was better than nothing, so I told my family that I’d like a few hours to myself, locked my door and pulled out my cd collection. I chose 8 cd’s, most of which are from matthew, 2 from Janelle, from hillsong to jon foreman, some classical music, and mix cd’s. I then took out my ournal, randomly selected a cd, put it in and played track 1. while it played I wrote down my thoughts/feelings about and then like thought about how I could relate to God [some were worship songs, so sometimes it wasn’t too hard…] But for the classical songs, or songs about relationships or something, it was rather hard. But it was really nice, for the second cd I played track 2, and so on until I had gone through each cd twice, with 14 song descriptions. I felt really nice afterwards and took a short half nap and then came out of my room. It was quite fun :] On Monday I hadddd art, by myself because Barbara skipped ! >:[ and then Psychology and dance class and then finnish lessons ! It was a fun day, but really long….although not as long as Tuesday. I had to be up at 6, and I didn’t come home until 4. And I didn’t have any breaks during the day, I had art [with Barbara :DDDD], then finnish lessons, then religion [we watched the movie “Luther” about Martin Luther] and then dance. Right now in dance we’re learning the dance that a group of girls from our school made up [each school creates their own dance to perform] and ours is to the song “you can’t stop the beat” from Hairspray. Its so fast ! and sexist ! and turny flippy spinny jumpy, I honestly have no idea how we are going to do it in long gowns and high heels, we’re going to die….But it is really fun, once we remember it all….And then on my way home I got off the bus with Sanelma who actually has never said more than “moi [hey]” to me, but as soon as we started walking, she started talking ! It was crazy, but we talked the whole way home, about all sorts of things and decided we wanted to move to Hawaii because we hated the cold :] it was really cute and nice, shes really sweet (I don’t see what she sees in Arttu….) And then at 7 I watched the Inauguration of Barack Obama, it was really weird, watching it, knowing that I now have a new president, but I’m not even in the country…I dunno, it was an interesting feeling. Then came the angry arttu and I couldn’t blog….And then today, I woke up with 15 minutes to spare before I had to walk out the door to catch the 7 am bus [meaning I had to leave my house at 6 40] and I had religion this morning, which wasn’t terrible ? I just copied down a lot of finnish notes and told myself I’d translate them later, which probably isn’t actually going to happen to be perfectly honest…but at least I wrote them down ! And then I had a break so I went shopping for Barbara’s present with Annina. I found the cutest scrapbook and some ribbon and letter stickers and tomorrow I’m printing pictures and then giving it to her on Friday, the last day that I see her :/ And then we ate lunch, mmmmm porridge<3 href="http://www.photobucket.com/josesuomessa">www.photobucket.com/josesuomessa check them outtt and have a wonderful Wednesday !
