Christmas tree.

Now it's time for gingerbread! (Pepparkakor in swedish)

Christmas eve tomorrow!?

My grandparents are here, my gifts are wrapped in paper and now the only thing that I have to do is waiting for tomorrow. And clean my room.

happiness

Yo.

I don't know why I try to write something, because I don't even have time for it. I have to run to my bus and go to the city center (I live in a very big city. Not.) for my art class. It's the last art class for 2011 so we're haveing a party. Or it isn't a party, we're just bringing snacks.

A man just came to the door and tried to sell some Christmas things. Intresting.

Now I really have to go! 

Ciao!

Lights

Doesn't it look nice?

Today when I went to Citymarket to buy some cheap Pirkka-sweets, I saw some nice light-things ,you know like small lamps on a whire? Anyway, I'm happy I bought the light-thing, I love it!

And since I bought it, I had to clean my room so the whole room turned in to a peaceful place.. Or something..

Good night people!

Lucia.

Where I live, we have this tradition every December 13th, called Lucia. It's hard to describe what the day is about in a few words, but yeah.. It's singing, girls in white dresses and a lot of candels. Try to imagine!

Tired

In Finland this time of the year is very dark. Where I live the sun goes up around 10, maybe? And then it goes down at 14-15? I actually don't know, because today when I went to school at 9 it was dark outside. And when I left school 15-ish it was dark. In the winter I just never see the sun. Which means I'm tired all the time. Especially when I can't sleep at night..

Please be Christmas break soon.

I ♥ School (and my school bus)

I had Math class today. I had almost done all the exersises for today (about 50% went wrong) and I was relieved. Well, guess what? Our lovely teacher gave us about 20 more exersises. Until tomorrow. That's why I've been counting math for a few hours now. If someone was wondering.

And yeah, btw: my bus home was late today. I came home about 16:45. Not late at all.

And we have a lot of snow. Ok, maybe not a lot - yet. Today about 5 cm. Last year this time we had about 50 cm. Snow is disturbing.

Scott Pilgrim. And stuff.

Actually, I've wanted to see this movie for years. And because I don't download movies and don't like to spend money either (I know I'm strange) I had to wait for it to air on television. Which was yesterday. I watched it yesterday. And again today, with my brother. It was kind of awsome. I didn't like all the fights but it had a lot of humour which made the movie even more awsome. And of course, I like Michael Cera. He's a great actor. All of he's characters are awsome. Like Juno and Nick and Norahs infinite playlist. Those are my favorites.

Well, what I'm trying to tell you is: watch Scott pilgrim. It's awsome.

Miss Frost

One of my personal favorites.

Sunday.

My stomach doesn't like me. At all. Thank God painkillers exists.

I tried to do my math homework. I've got a lot of math homework at the moment since the matriculation exam in math is this spring. And as you know Finland is the best country in the world when it comes to math. That's why I've got fourteen books to read for the exam. Yeah, you read right: fourteen math books. It's amazing.

Some of the books are missing.

A new start.

The reason I started this blog was the matriculation exam. The matriculation exam was in October. But I made it with a good grade! Now I'm actually thinking of starting blogging here again. I don't know if I'll make it this time, but we'll see!

Once again - Welcome.

Sorry.

I have two blogs. That's why I don't write here very often. It will be better, I promise.

Silence

I have been on my summer cottage for a few days, but today I came home because I had work to do.

Update

I should really clean now, my family are coming home any hour now. Friday night was nice, I took the picture with my phone.

Going out to night

Another day

I'm sitting here at home waiting for my friends to join me and give me some therapy after my work today. Haha. It was quite bad weather and it took some time before I was ready, because I had no motivation. So my friends are coming here. 

Yeah, don't know what else to say. This blog suck, I know.

Rain.

Today I actually managed to read a little bit for the test. Not very much thought, because I came up with the idea of shopping. So after I had been visiting my grandmother I went to the shops in the center of my hometown, and guess what? I found a pair of black jeans for only 7,50€! 

Well, when I drove home it suddenly started raining really bad. Like, I couldn't see anything even if I had the windshield wipers on the highest level. And when I ran from the car to the front door (it took like 10 seconds maximum) I looked like I had been swimming with my clothes on. I was really wet.

New week.

Today I've been to the library and I ran in to a friend (I don't know if you can say so in English?) I was also visiting my grandmother. She came home from the hospital and needed some food from the store. Then I made some food for her, she didn't eat it.

Well then I bought some food for me too. I met a friend in the store so we planned what to eat and then we drove home an cooked tortillas. It tasted good, and it was nice not eating alone. After eating we tried to study for our matriculation exam in social studies. It didn't work very well, but we red newspapers after all. Then we ate some ice cream and watched television. 

That was my day, arrividerci!

Dear John.

 

So yesterday I watched some movies and the one I liked the most was Dear John. A lot of feelings, I recommend it if you want to cry, I f you don't want to cry: don't watch it.

When I had seen the movie I went out for a night walk in the forest. In 2am. I like the air at night.

My job.

I don't know how is it where you live, but in Finland it's very common for students to work during their summer break. I applied for a few - without result. Then suddenly I did get a call and a woman offered me a job as a promotional mailer twice a week. And I'm doing it by bike. The salary is quite bad, but I look at the bright side: I get paid for doing my work-out!

Actually, it's kind of a nice job when it's nice weather outside. I ride my bike and listen to music. That's not too bad.

Today, when I was working I herd the thunder coming closer and closer, so I left the work half done. But luckily I only have good areas left, and not very much to lug with me either. 

The weather is nicer now - better get going!

Well, it's summer.

It's hot in here. Really. Or at least hot for being in Finland. It's over 30 degrees and it's almost impossible to wear anything more than shorts and bikini. Now I  have put on a shirt because my neighbor came and talk to me...

Soon I will take my dad's car (not the yellow one, sorry..) to the hospital where I'm going to visit my grandmother, and then my friends and I will visit an other friend at her work at her parents grillhouse. I haven't actually been there before, so it will be fun.

See you later, adjö!

A thursday night on my own.

Since my whole family is gone sailing in the archipelago in Southern Finland, I'm home alone for a couple of weeks. I love being home alone - I'm able to do all the spontaneous stuff I can't do when the house is full of people. Or, I could do it then as well, but I don't want to. 

I think I'm a night person. After 12 at night I always come up with a lot fun things to do. Sometimes I go out running. Yeah, really. People who know me know I hate everything that involves running. 

There is, of course, bad things about being home by myself: I have to do all the work. Doing dishes, vacuuming, mow and other garden work, cooking and so on.

Back to the spontaneous stuff: I feel like baking something. (I suck at baking, everybody knows it.)

This is what I had for lunch today.

Typical Finnish summer food: Smoked fish (this is perch) boiled fresh potatoes, eaten with butter, vegetables and a glass of milk. Yummie.

Ok, so I have a new blog. Again.

Well, I guess I have to introduce myself. I'm eighteen. I live in Finland. I speak Swedish as my first language. I enjoy drawing and photographing and music and math. And I drive a yellow car. It's my mom's car, but anyway, I drive it when I need it.

Normally I write blogs in Swedish, but the reason I'm starting this blog is because I'm writing English in the matriculation exam this autumn, so I thought writing a blog in English would be a good way of practice.

I guess I will put some of my photos here as well, so you can enjoy them too. 

That's all for now, på återseende!
