Great weekend


Friday I finished work early around 3pm - so stayed and talked to my host mum :)

Saturday woke up early - then at 2pm I met one of the girls from my Finnish class and we went into Helsini together. As I needed some shoes, which we went to 5 stores looking for and being me I went and brough the first pair. now though I really want gumboots!

We also went to the info centre and on the way back there were these teddy bears made of plastic that had different designs of countries on them. Just to confuse me New Zealand was not under 'N' so we spent around 15mins looking for it! As it was super light but it was under 'U' I ran up and hugged it and my friend took a photo much to the suprise of the on lookers. Came back around 6pm. Got to have apple pie for pudding to celebrate my host mum winning her tennis match.

Sunday got to talk to mum for the first time since Wens and Jolene as well :) Got completly lost again. Then spent some of the night playing monopoly in Swedish!

Update:


It's been a while since I have updated;


  • Started Finnish classes it is a small group but there is another Nzer!!!! Was so excited - had not meet one in Finland so 6 months without talking to a proper NZ accent face to face was great! Cant wait till Monday now.

  • I have sent my application for uni to mum, so now it's up to her to finish everything off.

  • I wanna go back to Scotland

  • Going to Denmark for my birthday with Rachel Triska which should be great!

  • There's another au pair in my finnish course from Sibera so meeting lot of different nationalities. Everyone in my course is around 6 years at least older.

  • Icelandic family's au pair is nice - and see her at least once a week, plus she is 18!

  • 99 days till christmas.

  • i may get a chance to go to Sweden as well!

  • Rewatching some Friends

  • Finally read my Clare Mallory books.

Other then that, still missing people even though the one's I actually still talk to properly have dropped to 3 :( Werid not being at school as well, nearly a whole year without, in saying that I could not go back. Missing my family still a lot and getting to talk to them less and less.


Also what on earth is going on in NZ???


Finally it's Friday so got a whole weekend of nothing to do ;)

Confused

Ok, so once I am again back to where I have no idea what I wanna do next year.
This time it's deciding between courses (alot less decisions then that way last year.)
Primary teaching looks a lot harder to get into - but most likely more job options. Plus, do I really wanna teach teach?
Early childhood is what Kathleen did - do not really wanna copy her... Also some of my friends will be on that course and could always ask Kathleen for help. i do not think there as many job options anymore.. .
Primary is 4 years and Early Childhood 3 years.
Early childhood has more maori papers then Primary.
I have to apply really soon...
Or do I just find myself a full time job work for the year, save money and then apply? argh to many fricken choices :(
