June third I get out of school and exams are finally over. I went over to my guy friends house whose name is Spencer.. He came over to my house Wednesday and Thursday.. Stayed for four hours or so. I went over to his house Friday. We watched tv, played scrabble, and Halo 2... Some X-box games. We had to stay real quiet because his mom was working downstairs.. Right on the bottom floor.. The Thursday or Wednesday or Friday before, I was hanging out at my friend Bryan's house. Friday was 6th hour exam for me E. Science. Then, Monday - Wednesday we had two exams each and got to come and late and go home early.



List:

6th hour: E. Science.

1 + 2: History and English

3 + 4: Art and Early Childhood 3(Honors class. Although we do college level work)

5 + 7: Creative Writing and Math.



Hello Lizzy! Ok. So I arrived in Finland late Sunday after 8 hours of plane travel.. Some lady kept talking the first half of the way from Florida to New York, and she happened to be the only one, so she sounded like she was basically talking to herself, and then some baby started crying along the way. Right when I was getting off the plane.. There was some blonde woman who was making fun of someone with pimples.. I was about to tell her to shut up and say that she looked like Ursala, and had a mouth to go with it. I decided to be nice and let herself look bad in front of other people. I was originally supposed to see my Aunt and Grandma in NY.. But then My 2 uncles, and 5/6 of my cousins decided to come. They could not get a hold of my lasst cousin because she was hanging out at her friends house and had her phone off. They basically walked me around in the NY airport since the place just happens to be the size: So damned big that you can get lost. Then we end up finding out that Finnair will not open up for an hour.. So my uncle goes to wait in line, and the rest of us just go sit down and talk. My cousin and her bf(Did I mention her bf came? Well.. He did.) decide to have a piggy back race with my younger cousins since they are still verty long.. They tried walking on the backwards escalator and failed miserably.. Although.. I must admit.. The attempt was hilarious. Then on the second plane. The flight attendent on Finnair named Donna kept bugging the butts out of me. She was all. PLEASE KEEP YOUR BAG UNDER YOUR CHAIR. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON.. A couple of nags later.. The lady told me to put my bag down again, and then they one on the chair next to me had taken MY PILLOW while I was putting my bag down.. I could not sleep at all.. ONE BIT. That flight attendent kept making me last in everything.. But that was ok, because I thought to myself well.. Maybe she is immigrant. Then I got some odd stairs from other Finns on the airplane. After that, I finally got to go get my stuff.. I had only taken one luggage and my small hand bag. That was all that I had to carry.. Then I got to Unskis and Eevas. They would not let me sleep. At least Eeva was a little bit nicer about it and got four hours in til bed time.. The next morning I felt better.. We ended up walking to the store and walking around. But thats ok because I was thinking.. My feet still HURT.. Do they not know I have bad feet? Oh boi... I guess not.. So that was all of Sunday, and then Monday summed up. Oh yeah.. and I got to see Moomoo(Mumu.. idk honestly.) and Papa for a visit. I got to give Unski some nice candle holders, and one of those long table cloths with the tussels on the end to Eeva. They also got some hershey chocolates. The little diverse packet with different kinds and some hershey kisses.. One is just chocolate, and the other is like a Cherry Cordial mini.. With the cherry inside or whatever.



Tuesday: I saw Moomoo and papa again and we ate at their house.. I like that noodle stuff that they make.. I did not care to much for the moose meat meatballs with the gravy or whatever... The warm somewhat bright brown colored stuff.. They made some apple soup looking thing.. They had rye and white bread out on the table with butter, and thats about it. Moomoo was happy that I like her food. I got to relax a little bit, and we went to see cows.. Mehlahs? Something like that in finnish.. And heavonis.. Hevonahs Or something like that for horses. Sounds like the word heaven to, for horse.. No cows were outside, so we just went to see the horse.. that was closest.. I happened to be wearing all red.. So.. The horse kept sniffing at me funny and its eyes would bulge out every five seconds.. Cousin Elina- It was her bday. We ate a rather thin small cake of chocolate with crunch chocolate pieces on top.. How would I know? I am no finnish expert. Then.. She got some ice crushing thing.. This long tube with a spinny crushy thing at the bottom and I gave her a small necklace and two belts.. one blue, and one black with little stud things on them.. Me and mom picked them out. So it was just Me, Elina, Unski, and Eeva. Then me and Elina played video games while the older people(lol older people watched). Then when I leave my cousin wants to go to the zoo with me Friday and I am going to sleep over at her house and return Saturday morning. Then my other uncle(mean one) calls up and asks for us to join him at lunch Thursday. The next bit of info I get is that my other Auntie and her husband are coming over with the baby and the dog Wednesday. (HELLO.. I AM STILL SLEEPY HERE! Anyone notice poor little old me!?) Anyways.. I go to the summer house next weekend with no computer and I have horse riding lessons to do.. So do not expect me to be online unless by chance.



(Note: It is summer time and still chilly out.. And there is about only three hours of darkness here in Finland. A lot of wildlife, and forest habitat. So basically.. It is sunny.. Just in a cloudy rainy day look. It actually rained just a little bit on Tuesday.)



Now today is Wednesday: I got up around 4 a.m. even though I was told 6:30 a.m. I somehow managed to go to eat breakfast at the table without waking up Uncle and Aunt - Been having rice krispies for the past two days. I go to my uncle's buisness where I work for the month and am staying here in Finland and had to copy some forms onto the computer which I did pretty well considering the computers and everything is all written in Finnish and some of the names are from Estonians or whoever who also work there.. haha. Not all the handwriting was legible, but that is ok because I got someone else to do all the eye squinting. My cousin Racccooon.. I made up a secret nickname for him that he does not know about because his name is Rikko.. Raccoon.. Yeah.. You get it.. Uncle takes ME home because he is hungry.. There. I said it. Of all the possible reasons.. So I ended up eating with him some lasagna.. Two meals.. with 4 slices of bread with butter.. The only thing I have been drinking lately is coke, pepsi, or Coke Max.. Some mix thing or something. Then I show him some of the story I am working on and he wants to know more.. Maybe I will read it to him and Eeva.. I will try and work on it some more while over here to.. Revising and what not.. Then my second Auntie and her baby with her husband comes over.. I am like.. Ok.. I am tired.. Still not enough rest. The baby was cute, and so was the dog. My Aunt that came over got scared of me and became shy so did not talk much Finnish to me.. Now.. I show them some drawings and what nots.. and then I find out they planned to go to Ghanna(sp?) Islands and Spain this christmas with me which is about six and one half hours south by air plane from Finland.. If you are looking at the world map.. I am so tired and they plan this without me.. My consent.. Oh boy. xx.. I do know I am supposed to go see them some time at their house which I either forgot when or am not sure about.



-My busy life in Finland atm..

Currently working on the 4 dragons for Twirly.. An updated version since I have improved.. Hope I can possibly make them smaller.. x.x Lately I TOTALLY SOC at drawing small.
