Excitment

2 WEEKS TILL I AM HOME!!!!

Freaky as though.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and my cats. PLus hearing kiwiness all day everyday.

This weekend it was a 3 day weekend and we went to Sweden which is absoultly beautiful!
Just ahhhh... gonna miss my Finnish family so much..

But will finally be able to start planning forward.

Just snow

Well at the moment I am in love with the snow and just found out it will stay at least for the week! Sometimes they do not get snow here till January so I am super happy that they have it now.. Wonder how much I will still like it in 4 weeks...
The photos are taken this morning from outside my bedroom door.
It was amazing on Wens I went and saw Harr Potter came home at 1 in the morning to snow, snowed all the next day. None the next then yesterday it was snowing again! Except it eans that outside is in the negatives. Also I have caught another cold! Grrrr
On Friday the teachers at the nursery well the two main ones asked if I would like to watch Cessi in a play. Turns out I was the only person not from the nursery who went and watched and understood very little. It was great to see Cessi 'acting' though.
Last night I decided I would watch TV. First show I watched was half in English half in Finnish, second show half in Russian and half in Finnish. Finally I found a show just in English called Team Pullman, which was really good.
I have started knitting and am finally attempting to do a big person scarf, will see how it goes.
This morning I went o Facebook and there was a group chat going - made me realise how much I missed the craziness of everyone! Makes me more excited about coming home.

had a good weekend!!!
Got to go out to one club (it cost a lot of money just to get in :P) With 9 German girls and one Icelandic. Lots of fun all the songs were in English so I was a little bit confused when I heard Finnish in passing.
Saturday spent the day knitting and tiding and talking to my Finnish family.
Sunday I got to talk to Tabi and then I went out to the Helsinki City Museum and St Nicholas's Church. Was just incredible!!!
TOday has been super busy - since 12 o'clock onwards I have been working or at Finnish Class! Now 9.45pm so tired and did not manage to study yet. Spent along time playing Snakes and ladders.

Nothing

Things are slightly better on the Grandmother front, she gave us all lollies yesterday. She has stopped treating me as a worker as such but more as an adult.

Tonight I am meant to be going out with some of my friends!!!

Bones is back on :)

I got to type to mum today! So hopefully she gets her cord fixed soon so I cantalk to her properly.

Yesterday I got to talk to my sister.

Tomorrow I am meant to talk to Tabi.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!

Stressed

So the grandmother is here and she is stressing me out a lot.
Can not wait for the weekend!
Next week I got aan interview to get into uni :P Stressed a lot about that!!! Life is on the line.
Woke up covered in spots this morning, really not a good sign least it is just a few more days.
Sounds more positive about going to Stockholm.

Just random

Had a good weekend! On Saturday I went out with the family besides the mum as she was on call. To Helsinki and we went and brought a sofa, then advent calenders for the kids and had Pizza Hut for afternoon tea (After much deciding we where gonna have chinese but the kids wanted sushi but one of them commented I did not like it so we went and had pizza instead.) Then we came home played outside in the dark and then we watched Home Alone - it was my first time ever watching it.
Plus I managed to book my tickets to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Excited about that!
Argh on Nov 11th I have an interview to get into uni at 23.30!!! Will need coffee or something that night.
Sunday I got to talk to mum in the morning and then went out to the movies to go see Eat, Pray, Love. With some of the other au pairs which was really fun. Went shopping before hand to. Got something I really wanted to have.
Except now the grandmother is here so life is not as fun as it normally is as the two youngest are home all day for the whole entire week! Oh well this morning on my walk I got one of them to come to so the other one could have one on one time with there grandmother.
It's 7 weeks and 1 day now till I leave Europe not long at all. (Still no idea when I leave Finland.)
Best go to work

So I had a super long birthday this year!!! It started by people saying happy birthday at midnight NZ time, then Dad ringing me Thursday night. Then skyping home and talking to Jolene. Woke up Friday morning and was feeling sick argh. But woke up and there were two presents on the kitchen table waiting for me. 19 pairs of socks and a book about Copenhagen!!! Plus an awesome birthday card.
Went and skyped to mum and Jeremy for awhile then and went and caught the bus to the airport to go to Copenhagen!
Great time in Copenhagen 1st night we talked and Rachel and I went out for tea! Had Thai food. Plus had a birthday cake with whipped cream and pineapple lumps :)
The next day we woke up early and headed to Tivoli the amusement park!!!

Incrediable spent all day there but by the end I could not even speak - so no going out that night either.

With yummy cake - plus when I got home I had a present waiting for mum on my desk. Had an awesome birthday and felt very loved. Also will be home on the 23rd of Dec around 10am yay!!
