Kesä on tällä :)

Summer is here. Goodness, finally. Well, rather spring is here, but its been so long since the sun has shined that it feels like summer ! The lake is still a bit frozen, but I think it'll melt within the two weeks coming. So my Rotary Conference was a bore. Seeing the other exchange students was fun, we had a blast at dinner, and at bowling. I hung out with Cindy for most of it, but I was surprised and how many other people seemed so different than back at Karkku (our language camp) or at Lapland, so it was really quite fun. Except when Rotary made us sit for four hours at a time listening to boring speeches in Finnish and in Italian....blahhh. But we found ways to entertain ourselves the first day, thanks to chet and kathleen ;D The food was nice, minus that huge cabbage rolled carrot thing...ew. Our dinner on saturday night took four hours to get through, but Trey Cindy Nathan, the girl from South Africa, and I all had a blast at our end of the table :P There are two kids who got here in January from Australia, Jordan and Ashley, both who were really quite fun and the girl from South Africa who was really cool, but I don't remember her name... I went home in the evening as Rotary wouldn't let the kids from Jyväskylä stay in the hotel (seeing as the conference was in our town) so Anna came and picked me up at 10 45 and I slept at their house for the night. Then we went back to the hotel at 8 15 and I met with all the other kids who apparently didn't sleep at all, so they were all dead. Nice. The first four hours of the morning were spent listening again to more long boring speeches in finnish and in italian. And then we had to sing some stupid song aobut grandmothers laying our mothers eggs and then our grandmothers laying ours ?! I dunno, it was so weird. It was one of those songs that has play on words or something ? "Mun mummuni muni mammani muni mummuni muni mun" were the words. So Fun ! Then we were off to lunch which was nice and then all the exchange students went home, which was the last time I'll see any of them, kind of sad. Anna picked me up and I went home to her house to finish packnig up my stuff because Sirpa came home on Saturday and was picking me up on Sunday. Being home is nice now, I missed my own room and Nuppe and Mimmi. Sirpa was in a good mood and came home bearing gifts :) I got a really nice shirt from Canada and....an 8 GB Blue Ipod Nano of the newest selection. Oh my word am I spoiled or what. I didn't really know what to say when I opened it, I was in complete shock I think. Who just buys their exchange student an Ipod ?! So crazy. But I'm really happy, it was really nice. Gosh it was so insane, I just gave her like some huge big hug hahah. But yeah, and then she made us waffles, num ! Tonight I'm going to the gym with Anna again, going cycling. I should be going every week from now on because the lady said I can go for free ! Wow ! Then tomorrow I'm ´planning on going running with Piia and Annina around 20.00, and maybe this weekend go to the fair with Petra and Pinja and Maria :) We have a three day weekend this week because its Labor Day here. Then in two weeks we have a four day weekend for some odd reason that I don't remember ? We have a lot of random days off. But we also have school on Saturdays sometimes...that kind of sucks (yeah well to be honest I don't go to those...theyre usually test days on subjects that I'm not taking) I now have to go ! Adios.
