i miss piia.

but this weekend was pretty thrilling. thursday night youth group was again, so amazing. everyone was crying during the fantasticamazingwonderfulpowerfulmoving worship session we had, one of my friends from school had like a life changing turn over a new leaf experience, he was pretty emotional which was really cool to see. and yeah, it was awesome. we sang the song thats like "spirit rain, flood into our thirsty hearts again, you'll come." yanno ? but yeah, they did it really really well. anyways, so that was awesome. friday was another very short wonderful school day of psychology and then dr phil and cool soap operas :) it was nice. the girls and i watched the oc that night, which we have continued to do every night since, hah :) on saturday we had to get up at 4 45 to leave for nuppes soccer game in a city that was maybe 2 hours away, Kuopio. it was in this retarded egg shaped dome, a dirt field, and no heat. So it was absolutely freezing and pretty miserable, but I took loads of pictures to keep me occupied (some of which you can see on my flickr, www.flickr.com/ilovepaige345) and randomly gave out bandaids or ice packs. They played three games, but each game was only 35 minutes long ? No one really knew why...But yeah, they tied the first one, lost the second, and won the third in a shoot out. It was intense :P We got home around 10 or something, watched some OC and then went to bed. Sunday was pretty lazy which was nice, Nuppe and I made a fabulous lunch for everyone, and we even folded the napkins all pretty like (thank you McKay Campbell). When Mimmi got home that day (she spent the weekend camping with the girl scouts...crazy children) apparently both the girls were really tired and they got into this huge shouting screaming fight so lunch was awkward because Sirpa and I were the only ones talking....weird. But yeah, then Nuppe and I made a really yummy white chocolate cheesecake, mmmm. Janelle, I thought of you the whole time (and the fact that you failed to make me a cheesecake for my going away party...but I still love you <3). Monday was alright, I had psychology and art and art and finnish lessons, none of which were too terribly exciting, but not unbearable either. My yearbook teacher to be wrote me this weekend and told me about Yearbook Camp in the summer, so I'm really hoping I'll get to do that (hemhem mom and dad....:D) My host mom has been planning almost every weekend for me to do something, we're going on a lot of trips, which I'm super excited for :D This weekend we're heading to Tampere, a near ish city, maybe an hour and a half, and going um, sightseeing ? I don't actualyl know what were to do....Then in a few weeks were going to Turku, another big city, and then to Helsinki again for shopping, and then to Tallinna which is in Estonia ! I'm really excited for that (: and she said that we'll go to greece if she wins the lottery...so lets hope for that ! Yesterday she came home from work and the girls were both at scouts so she and I sat in the living room for almost half an hour and just had soem cool conversations, all in finnish. I was really quite proud of myself. She doesn't speak english very well, so I understand her better when she speaks finnish. Plus she is super good at speaking clear, slow finnish without being retarded, so its really been helpful. And yeah :D THEENDDNEEHT.
