Okay first of all, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write on here. I have had such a busy week. My life just keeps getting busier and busier and busier.
On Sunday, I went with Outi to visit my new host family. They live out in the country and it takes about 20 minutes drive down country roads to get there. As soon as we got there, I realized that they lived in a HUGE house. Seriously I almost got lost its so big.
It was really nice to meet my new host family. I found out that I would be moving on Friday so the rest of the week was filled with me packing.
I realized that I actually have a lot of stuff with me. It's not even that I have that many clothes, I just have a lot of STUFF. I have gifts for my host families and for my friends, books about Canada and never ending Canada paraphernalia. Along with my winter coat, winter boots and snowpants, it is fair to say I had about 5 bags. OOPS.
Last night (Friday) I moved to this new family. My new family is really great. I have my host mom, Leena, our au pair, Mailis, and 4 sisters, Helena (15), Leila (14), Annakaisa (10) and Maija (6). It is great to be here and I have already developed a good relationship with my sisters. It will be more of a challenge to live here for me which I think is good. All of my sisters can speak some english but I try to communicate mostly with Maija and Kaisa in Finnish, which is the challenge. I hope this will really improve my speaking. :)
My new home is about 20 minutes from the centre of Siilinjarvi so I have to take a bus to school. My bus card was 100 Euros for the month, so thank god Rotary will pay me back for this. Although the new house is so far away, I kind of like it out here, it is quiet all the time and I am really close to the lake. Literally my house is a waterfront property :)
Oh and yesterday, I started to write my beavertale, actually I finished writing my beavertale and just as I finished, my email deleted the whole thing!!! I freaked out, I actually almost cried at school hahaha. I had worked so hard on it and the whole thing was gone. I looked through my whole email and it never came back and then I gave up. Finally last night I was just like 'oh I am going to check my email on my ipod' AND IT WAS THERE. I freaked out and then emailed it to myself 7 times and then took screen captures of it on my ipod incase it disappeared again. I am so glad I got it back finally. :)
woooooooooooooo
life is good again.
