Club

Moi!

The promised sleep I didn't get this weekend because guess who discovered party-scene. Okay-okay during high school I went to a couple of parties but not like going to a nightclub for two straight days like I did this Friday & Saturday.
And I had fun! Got to dance, sing, hang out and drink a little on Friday. Well, something else did happen but I don't feel good about discussing it yet. I think it might be a little bit early, since I'm not so sure where is it going for me...short to say, it's too soon.

Last night I didn't get much sleep though. I wasn't exactly thinking of something but somehow I ended up waking up ~5.30AM. I tried to get back to sleep but it was rather useless because once I get up, it's hard for me to get back to sleep.
I think it would actually be a good thing if I had to go to 8AM Finnish lessons but I got a text message (+ an official note) that my Finnish teacher is sick and the lessons are cancelled, so I have to wait a little less than 6 hours for school AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO! I haven't got any homework yet. In a way, it's good of course but then again I should practice my Finnish more and translating different texts/questions/etc could help me. But, oh well, I can't assign myself homework, so I focus on other things.

I find it hard to explain my days here. I mean it's fun to be here but if I say that we went to the shops, had dinner and walked to school, it doesn't sound fun, huh?
There is something new in everyday and we have developed some inside jokes that only we get and we laugh about, kind of like with Yuki.
I wish that she would be here already. Don't get me wrong! I have great people surrounding me here but I feel like that I don't talk to Yuki as much as I want. In a way I try to stay away from the computer, so I don't think about home so much.
I had a 5 second homesickness on the August 20 when it was Estonian's Day of Restoration of Independence or taasiseseisvumispäev as Estonians like to call it. I think it was the first time in my 19 years when I have been abroad during that day. It was an important day for Estonia...
Anyways, on that day, I studied the 10 finger system on computer. Yeah, it was no fun. I think I type faster like I usually do and my fingers kept cramping, especially the pinkey.

...don't know what else to say. AGAIN! XD

XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^

PS. Club hits have been haunting me for days...

Week

Heippa!

Blogger isn't working with me..or it has something to do with the internet here. Anyways, I made couple of videos about my dorm and they just refuse to upload.
I have started this post...oh I don't know, ten times and since I'm putting a video here to upload it won't be saved into drafts -.-

Anyways, my first official school week has ended and now it's finally weekend I get to sleep.
Dorm life is totally different! I think for the past week I have played cards every night with Estonians (we don't get along with Finnish people because of that language barrier) and laughed until we had stomach cramps and cried XDD I'm having fun, so to say XD

The second and third year ones are very welcoming with the newcomer such as me, Gerda, Kristi and Anti. They invite us to go along and come and play cards with us and so on.
The only bad thing is that I live in a different house then them. Okay, some ways I'm lucky but I break curfew every night because of that...
I honestly thought that I will be sitting at the dorm all day long XDD

My sleep is too good here. Every night I get to bed after one or so and it's so hard to get up at six. Luckily there are only two days where I have to do that.

Monday: 9.55 - 13.55
Tuesday: 12.15 (if I want lunch then a little earlier) - 13.55
Wednesday: 8.30 (for Finnish lessons), but the real deal 12.15-13.55
Thursday: 12.15 - 14.55
Friday: 8.00 - 13.00 the longest day I have
And then comes the weekend ^.^

I don't even get  me started with the language. That's one of the other bad things about this whole thing. The first two days I just sat there and looked good because I didn't understand much they said. I know how the weekdays are but the thing I don't get is what happens then. It's really frustrating but Kersti noticed today that I'm keeping a positive mind and at least try but yeah that trying gave me an awful headache on the first day. My brain was working on hyper drive! XD
My customer service teacher is great. I talked to her and now she translates every slide after talking about it in Finnish. Of course there is a shorter summary for me but it's better that nothing and today I really learned some new things :D So, I'm having a good day.

For the first few days the weather was pretty cold but now it's like summer just begun. In the mornings the temperature is pretty low but when I walk home form school it's burning up! Awful!

It's crazy how much money I have spend. I really hate to go shopping here...okay not really hate but the prices are higher than in Estonia...

Don't really know what else to write XDD

Natsumiiiiii ^^

PS. I haven't been homesick yet...

First

Hey!
I had a bigger post waiting for me but I decided to do a little post right now,
Guess where I am?
IN FINLAND. I'm on the train and I'm going to Seinäjoki to switch for a bus which leads me to my dorm.
I have survived so far XD

I got hardly any sleep last night. I had no idea where my phone was, so I didn't sleep properly (I'm sorry, If there are typos, my iPod doesn't correct my mistakes), so I have slept abou 3h max. For now I haven't felt that tired but the night is young (it's only 18.23 according to the clock on the train).
My luggage is extremely heavy and that has been the biggest problem.
My parents drove me to the harbour (we had a little trouble finding it since I haven't used Lindaline Express before) and helped me through check in. When I gave my mom a hug, she immidiently started to cry. Dad stayed strong for me XD Since it was an Express, it kind of reminded me a bus inside...and it kind of reminded me of Loveless, when Ritsuka went to the ferris wheel and Soubi followed him...ANYWAYS, I arrived to Helsinki 15 minutes later then I was suppose to...no biggie, since I had like 2,5h to my train. BTW, the man who sat across me strongly reminded me of Danny Jones from McFly. If I knew a little less, I would swear that it was his older brother :)
When I got off the ship, I was all alone (but not for long XD). I took out my map of Finland which had a little mapp of Helsinki attached to it out and started to walk towards the train station. I probably looked really patheti - my hair was all messy, it was burning hot, I stopped at every corner to check whether I was on the right steet and I was dragging a suitcase which was bigger than I was XDDD But, I'm great at navigating (I don't mean to brag XDD) and I arrived there without any trouble ^^
Okey, there was a small problem. Ine of the wheels on my suitcase came off XDD But I can still drag it along, si I'm good.
I kind of have a picture memory (I wouldn't say photographic memory), so I remembered how the trainstation looked like + the little VR icin which lead me to the ticket booth. With my English, I got my student ID card to get discounts + my train ticket ^^ And then came the great news - one of the Estonians who also a student in that school I'm going to be attending, sent me a text message that she was in the train station and asked which train I'm going to take. To sum up, we met up and now we are travel-buddies XDDD She is really easy to talk to but quite the opposite of me XDD Either way, she's great and I'm glad that I met her ^^
I have to say, the train tickets in Estonia are cheaper than in Finland and I like how roomy the trains are in Estonia, in here, I feels like I'm taking a bus ^^

Now, we have arrived to the present. Soon, I will be getting off this train and have another 1,5h of travelling with a bus and then home sweet home for the next 3 years ^^

Wish me luck!




XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. I thought I will be more nervous XD
