my host mom is sick

almost dying, or at least she makes it out to be that way. granted, she has been just getting worse, not better, for the past four and a half days....surprisngly none of us kids have gotten it yet, thats always good. So on sunday, right before raija got sick we went on a 6 km cross country sking trip to the end of the island and back, it was really exhilarating and fresh. We met Virpi and her husband along with the dogs on the way and tilta [the cute newfoundland] kept rolling over, again and again, in the snow, it was so adorable. On monday I went to school and met my counselor, Marjatta, and she took me out for coffee and we went over my schedule for next period, after the break. I'm taking English with annina :D, spanish [one of the first courses, so it'll be really easy], psychology, and art 11, wooo. I'm excited, I'll also have finnish lessons, which are usually fun I just always dread going to them, I dunno why....same with psychology class. After coffee I went to the library and did some finnish studying and then headed over to the university for lessons. We played a verb conjugation game and right now we're have student teachers teach us, they're two girls probably 20 or so, and they're both really nice. After that I came home and tahts where I've been since then. Tuesday I had no school and no finnish lessons, so I stayed home with my dying host mother bringing her hot juice, more blankets, or carrying her stuff upstairs so we could watch her favourite drama series from Australia, McLeoud's daughters or something like that. But it was fun, not horrible or anything, she's just not as funny when shes sick...and her english is worse, :] I made dinner for everyone that night ! Spaghetti, it was delicious. Then today I also had no school or anything, so I did the same basic things all over again, watched movies [the theif lord was really good, I must say], wrote some letters, watched tv, cooked some food, napped a few times, very relaxing. Tomorrow will be the exact opposite. I go into town at 11, finnish until 1 45, a meeting with a rotary psychologist at 3, the rotary meeting at 5, and then youth group at 7. Hopefullly I get to eat at this meeting, otherwise I'll be awfully hungry. Friday I'm not going with my host mom to her school because she isn't going either...so I'll spend the day packing my clothes and other necessities for the break where I'll live with my third host family, the Turpeinens. They came to my dance on friday and I really like the girls, Nuppe and Mimmi are really sweet, and Sirpa is adorable :] Next tuesday I'm going to work the kiosk at the ice hockey JYP game [you could look up JYP finland ice hockey on the internet, you might find something interesting] with Anna, and then maybe weds-sat I'll be in Helsinki with Sirpa and the girls, we're not sure yet.I'll be sure to take lots of pictures over the break, I have pictures and some videos up from the dance [www.photobucket.com/josesuomessa] and I'll try and get more over the break from my friends and such. Have a lovely wednesday, sorry I blog so ill frequently....I'll try and do better ! I think I have wireless internet at this next house, either that or I have no internet at all...I'm not really sure, I guess we'll find out on friday !
