Särkänniemi!!

On Thursday our school band had our first performance...It went pretty well, we only had a couple little mistakes and one major one, but it got worked out and we survived. Nothing uber bad.

I figured out the picture problem, and I've got them up now, although I'm going to be moving them all to photobucket.com because I'm really not completly satisfied with shutterfly. So that's a work in progress to be accomplished during this next week, being that I have 3 exams and 5 days of pretty much nothing. The exams here are more like tests. I have about 40 minutes to write each of them, and they're totally not bad. I'm probably going to do pretty bad on them, but it'll be okay. It's the experience, not the final result that matters. That's cliche I know, but it's still true.

Friday night I went to Ulpa's house to watch movies with Suski, Helianna and Hellu. It was fun, we ended up talking about boys and stuff for about 2 hours and only watching Bad Boys 2. It was fun.

Yesterday I went to Särkänniemi with Annina being that it was the cheap day. So we went there and walked around looking at the animals because the actual amusement park was closed. We saw Muumies singing too, and we might have danced a little....and sang....lol. We went to the aquarium as well, because it was half price:D Woot. After that, we were in Koski Keskus and we ran into some of the exchange students from around the area. I ended up going for coffee and Jenga at Cafe Europe with them and hanging out for a while. That night, I went to Enter, which is a little coffee house in Moisio with Suski, Hellu, Ulpa, Miska and some other people. That was pretty fun, we tried to play Monopoly but it didn't really work out. Around 10.45, this guy came in who was a little intoxicated. He started asking me questions about why I was speaking English and not finnish. So I told him I was from Canada, and he started hassling me about how Canada kind of beat Finland in the World Cup of Hockey. So that was good for some amusement...He kept asking me to speak German which was kinda funny.
