day 69 and 70

Thursday was just a normal day. I didn't really do anything exciting. I had school and then after dinner, we took Minna to Henriikka's and Outi and I were on a mission to find myself a winter coat. We went to Citymarket, which is basically the Walmart of Finland. It is awesome. :P and I got one. It's really nice and I think it was worth the money because I will have it for probably 5 years. I haven't bought snowpants yet but I don't need them until Lapland which is at the end of November.
My boots arrived so now my feet will be nice and warm walking to and from school :D I think I will probably buy a pair of other boots (fancier and not so warm) because although I brought 3 pairs with me, 1 pair doesnt fit me, the other has holes all in it and the 3rd pair is completely destroyed already. :P
So I am zero on boots right now pretty much so I think I will just buy a cheap pair of boots when I find one. Not really super necessary because I can live on these boots for now.
Oh also on Thursday, I had another presentation in the middle school and this time the class asked even less questions. At least in the 1st one, there was one kid who kept asking questions and making comments. Not here. Whatever, it still went okay.

On Friday, I would normally have school but it was the day that we got back our exams so I didn't start school until 8:35, and I was done at 10:40. Each class was only 25 minutes long, long enough to get your projects and exams back and see your final grade. Since I am an exchange student and the language barrier is so different, they can't give us grades technically because we can't compare with the other students. A few of my teachers gave me a grade as to what I would have gotten in the course but overall I just got an S, which means I completed the course.
In English 7, I got a 10 (PERFECT!). In English 4, she didn't give me a mark. In French I got an 8 I think (can't remember now). In geography I didn't get a mark and in health I got a 7 (I don't see why because I put a lot of effort into my project but the teacher didn't really  have anything to mark for us so I think he just picked numbers out of a hat).
After that, Roosa Mara Tiia and I went for fries at the Old Fox. (tradition) and then we started walking home. When we got half way home, we decided that we should have gotten snacks because we were going to Henri's last night. We didn't want to walk all the way back uphill to the grocery store so we walked to ABC instead. Both equal distance, but ABC was not uphill. (We aren't lazy at all.... but seriously its a big hill.........)
And then last night we went to Henri's and it was a lot of fun. We just listened to music and hung out and ate hamburgers and played NHL 13. I freaked out because Tim Hortons was on the ice on the video game. it was funny.
Also, we watched Henri and Anssi do tricks on the trampoline. They both do circus, which is actually a kind of big thing in Europe. Well bigger than in Canada. Its awesome they do all these cool tricks.

I really want to go watch it someday :)
