And I Was Net

Terve, well as you know last week I had my Fall Holiday (a random week off school... in October.) It was a fairly slow week, wake up go to the gym come back home play with Ale and go to sleep. On Friday my family and I went to this cool place for the day, we played badminton and I was on a team with my house father VS my host mother and little host brother. That was the day I discovered my host father had knee problems because he had to take breaks every now and then and I had to take on the other two by myself! I was able to hold my own although I was diving everywhere and making mostly hail mary shots. All in all it was a good week, however I think I prefer Canada's just one week off in march, it feels more deserved to me. Mais C'est la vie.

Today I switched out of my finnish physics class and I switched into an english one. It took me three tries but I think I got it right this time, an english first year class. Alot of my friends are in that class so it will be good because if I don't understand something I will be able to bum answers off of them.

Also my finnish is becoming better everyday, I now understand probably 60% of what is said to me and I am constantly thinking in what I call fringlish (french, finnish and english.) Well that is my report for this week, I'm always glad to hear comments thank you. Stay frosty and I'll write again soon from across the finnish line.

Cheaters

Hey everybody, it's been a little while I know, but it's been a busy couple of weeks. First off I think I should explain the title. Well on sunday of last week I went out hunting with some finnish people. We got a bull, it was big by finnish standars but it was actually pretty small by my (Canadian) standards. We sat in tree stands for about 8 hours before the closest guy to me shot the bull. That sounds normal I know but, when it comes to hunting fins are cheaters. They use dogs. They send the dog(s) in at the begining of the day and the dog chases the moose all day. Normally it only takes a couple hours, but the guy who had the first shot missed.

Second thing is that I just spent the weekend at my second host family's house while my current one was out of town. It was really fun we watched the new "Nightmare on Elm Street," my review 7 words. Good not great, the original was better. I had a lot of fun on the weekend and I think I'm going to enjoy  living there, when the time comes however right now I'm happy here. Also my second host mother doesn't speak english and my brother isn't the best at it so I'm going to learn finnish really quickly there. :)

Last thing is by far my favourite. To everyone in Elliot who laughed at me because I started school about a month before you guys did take this, next week is fall holiday, like the march break, but in the fall. Here we have a fall holiday, a winter holiday and March break. hahaha mina voitan, I win. Now I've got to go to play bayblades with my host brother, ya I didn't think they still existed either. I'll update soon, you know because I'll have time to because I have the week off school :P. Talk to you later from across the finnish line
