Exams mean no school!

This week was the exam week for the my high school. It also continues till next week till Wednesday. I have a US History exam on Wednesday, but that is really it. I guess you could count going in something like me going Friday morning to play football school? I was with my sports class...

I spent the days still at school but at an Elementary School teaching English!

Monday- Normal Classes and Rotary. I forgot that it was Finland's "no car" day. This resulted in me walking through the streets of an suburb in a dress, tights, and heels. It was fine until it began to have wind and the wait for it, it rained. Perfect! Loving those experience!

come home to find a plate which says "Anna's Food" so no one won't eat it. little things.

I forgot the stove is Celsius. 

Tuesday- Elementary School! This will be a whole post by its self after next week, I still have a few more days there. but the children taught me how to play football. So just imagine 15ish little fins surrounding me and laughing when I try to kick the ball. We only spoke basic Finnish, no English. Except for this one kid which chanted USA when ever he saw me. He also only said "Britain sucks. I love the USA." Smart lapsi.

I had Finnish night class but the teacher sent me home early because I had a fever.

Wednesday- I was sick. I was really sick. But I found out I can take care of myself in a way. I made myself tea and rested. I took a warm shower and had socks on. I got better

I then went to my counselors house for dinner. I was still really ill but I got a bunch of winter clothes. Thank the lord I won't freeze!! They are all really cute. We had coffee and talked about Finnish and Russian Governments. Rotarians are the best. They are all so welcoming.

Thursday- Elementary School and 3 hour night classes

Friday- Sports Class and then I went and hung out with Kat and some friends in the center (Center is a word which means the center of Helsinki.)

I was sent this by a fellow exchanger

THE SPORTS CLOSET HAS ICE SKATES IN IT. STILL FREAKING OUT OVER THIS. I CAN TAKE ICE SKATING.

this is what the changing hall looks like

seeing an actual stop sign is so rare here. like people don't stop there cars. it is always these suggestions signs they have. Cars only stop for people and faster cars

You now have a slight overlook on my life. I would have posted more this week but feeling terrible didn't help the drive to talk about life.
