Day 80,81,82

Sorry I haven't really been writing a lot lately. There's not really much to say. Right now things aren't very exciting.
I will probably start writing less frequently unless really exciting things happen.
I wrapped all of my Christmas presents last night and realized its going to cost me a million dollars to send them ahhhhh. And that's pretty much all that has happened in the last few days.
Today Is Wednesday and I have my longest day of the week, 4 classes plus Finnish course so I won't get home until 6 tonight. Wednesdays suck
It's getting a lot colder now, I even wore my warm winter coat on Monday. It snowed in many parts of Savo (my area in Finland) including iisalmi and kuopio, which are north and south of me but no snow here :( it actually rained all day yesterday and its raining today. Monday was like -3 but yesterday and today are like 3 degrees.

I found out yesterday that I have a possible 2nd host family and that I could be going to live there in the next few weeks. They live on a farm and I am actually excited for the change in lifestyle because then I won't be bored and everything will be busier, keeping the homesickness away. I've discovered that I really need to keep myself busy to prevent myself from being homesick. Talking to my family Doesnt really make me homesick but when I skyped Shelly, Abby, Megan, Erin and Sarah on Sunday, Megan looked right in the camera an said 'come back home'. My heart broke into a thousand pieces and it made me really homesick.

I also found out that I have another possible host family but I can't go there until after Christmas because their house flooded or something and is being redone. I understand this completely. I've been there and it's not fun. At least we didn't have to move out of our house when ours flooded. I'm glad that things are starting to fall into place. I was worried for a bit.

This morning I found out that my friend Jon from school got accepted for rotary exchange :) I'm so happy for him and it keeps bringing back the moment I found out. Can't believe it was a year ago! But yes I am very happy for him and he's so excited too :)
I'm glad I convinced him to apply because he's so excited now!

Wednesday continued,
I decided to drop my Finnish Creative Writing course. although I like the idea of the class, the people in the class were very NOT helpful to me. I didn't understand what was going on most of the time. All of the class was anonymous writing but when your writing is in a different language than everyone else's, its not exactly anonymous. Also, I couldn't even read what everyone was writing and no one was willing to translate for me. The teacher asked the class to translate for me because she had to go get something. Nobody said one word to me so I ended up translating the whole thing on my ipod by myself. WOOOT> So anyways, I dropped that class and I will make up the extra hours next period..

And then I had finnish course, where my teacher pretty much just talked to us about our countires and her trip to Spain for an hour and 15 minutes. We didn't do a whole lot. hahaha
