update on my english skills.

(or lack of)


I can't even speak english anymore, seriously.

the other day, I asked my friend Lucie if immaturity was a word.

and then like 4 days later, on our way home from Lapland, me and her spent about an hour and a half trying to figure out how many syllables the word 'wasps' has.
(Seriously though, if you say it, it kind of has 1.5 syllables, wasps, wasps, wasps, wasps, wasps. just try it??)

Oh and today, my host mom asked me what the area that like horses go in while they are like within a fence but still kind of free? what is that called??

and she asked me what the little room is that a horse lives in? like with the sliding door on the front? I can't even remember english words.


all the horse talk is because we have 4 horses, 3 mares and 1 stallion. All week, the stallion keeps breaking the fence (my host mom has fixed it 4 times) and he just walks right through the electrical wires and pushes them down. Anyways, the horses have escaped every night and then been gone all night and come back in the morning.
So last night they escaped, all 5 of them. 4 of ours and one of our neighbours. they all escaped together and then this morning, I saw them running around the house so we had to try and capture them and take them to the barn. After that, we had to move the stallion to an icelandic horse farm in Varkaus, about 1.5 hours away so he will actually not run away anymore. It was actually really cool to be with the horses, even though the stallion is kind of scary. The rest of the horses are really old and calm so not scary at all. The stallion though is fairly young and its funny because he broke the fence so many times and then when we finally captured him, my host mom tied him to the trailer we were going to put him in and he just looked at us like 'hahahaha, im so cute. look what a mess i made. but aren't i just the cutest boy? will you forgive me?'

we had to give him some medicine to keep him calm and then it looked like he forgot how to walk and didn't know where he was. typical drunk finn ;) kidding.

my host mom was really glad she had Roosa's help and my help today. She said that moving a horse has never been as easy as it was today.
