Hey everyone, yes im still here! Sorry I haven't been writting much, its just that my life can get pretty darn boring too sometimes :D. I don't want to write a paragraph about how I go to school every morning, do my homework and go to practice. haha. Well lately things have been slowing down but not for long because christmas is already almost here!
Things in Hamina are going quite well. I haven't been homesick so that kinda scares me because I don't want to forget about home....Don't worry mom I still miss you! :P The weather in the south of Finland has been pretty good this past month. We have gotten a little bit of snow here and there but nothing temporary. The temperture stays around +3 to -3 so its quite warm still.
Last Monday and Tuesday I was sick and missed school but it wasn't anything too bad. The flu is going around in the whole of Finland and as soon as someone gets sick everyone thinks they have the swine flu. I think people are over reacting a little ;). There have been many cases in Hamina and people are starting to get vaccinated at school and stuff.
Soccer is still going we had our first indoor practice yesterday which was quite nice because before we had to play ouside in the dark and in the snow. I am really excited because they have changed the days of our practices so I can maybe take finnish classes outside of school :).
On Septembre 27th all the exchange students are going to Lapland togeyher for three days which will be really fun because we get to experience and see many touristic things.
I hope every thing is going well back in Canada! Eat a lot of cheddar cheese and drink a lot maple syrup for me. Don't forget to keep the igloos warm for when I come back :)...haha
Miss you guys lots!
