Guess what everyone!
I've been in Finland for two months.
Ohsnap.
Guess what else? I think I got hit on today! Yay!
Because nothing as exciting as this has happened to me in a while here, I'm going to explain in detail.
I was leaving my Finnish course and walking outside, thinking about the Austrian Five, and two Finnish guys walked out the opposite doors. I was too content on my thoughts to really pay much attention, but I noticed Finnish guy #1 glance at me then walk around the corner. Then he proceeded to pop his head out from behind the wall and look again. At this point, I was leaning towards my hair looking crazy because I had biked to my lesson in the snow (yes, its snowing here. My feet are cold ):). I began trying to fix my hair. Of course, I had to walk around the same corner, but surprisingly when I did, he spoke!
Him: (random Finnish)...opiskelet?
Me: Uh...(mouth open thing)
Him: *stare*
Me: Uh...I don't speak Finnish...heh
Him: Ohh. Where do you come from?
Me: The states.
Him: ....
Me: The U.S.?
Him: OHH! You're American? *exchanges glance with Finn #2*
Me: Yeah, haha.
Him: Cool!
I then walked very quickly to my bike, and he said 'have a nice day' and laughed with #2.
So I don't really know. I'm just proud of myself for not totally failing at speaking. I'm improving!
:D

Turns out the two Finnish girls that have been stalking me are lesbians.
They're the only two friends I've made by myself.
I go to a Finnish high school for a month and attract the gays xD
My back and hips hurt like an old person.
I miss my cat.
And I think all this rye bread is making me constipated.

For all of you that just started school yesterday:
Fuck you. xD
I've endured it since the week after my arrival, with an art teacher that makes Sarah's watercolors look like masterpieces, and an English teacher that speaks with a fake British accent and puts stress on all the wrong words (Okay, open your BOOKS to page fifty-FOUR).
Have a good year though, everyone xD

Wolf's Rain
By Yoko Kanno
see relatedSo, I'm having a nice lazy Sunday here at the Alahaivala's. I spelt that wrong.
But, Arja baked apple pie for the second time. This time, it actually tasted like apple pie.
There were also potato muffins. They didn't taste like potatoes, nor did they stay in the shape of a muffin.
Oh well.
Anyways, on this nice lazy Sunday, I was looking at Glamour's website, and their article on '10 Healthy Things to Do Over the Holiday Weekend'.
First of all, there isn't a holiday weekend in Finland.
Second, because some divine force wishes to piss me off, this is what their number one thing to do was:'1. Have a pumpkin spice latte! They've arrived at Starbucks (and elsewhere), and I swear, one of these babies is an instant mood-lifter. Just ask for "one less pump of syrup" to cut back on calories a bit--and instead of whipped cream, request velvety foam!'
I think I'm going to email Starbucks, and say that they're depriving the Finnish people not only of their delicious selections, but also of the uplift in Autumn spirit they could be having if the pumpkin spice latte was here.
Anyone that can send me an intact pumpkin spice latte has my eternal love, and I will get them whatever they want for Christmas.
Now, here's a picture of me hanging out with Beverly!
Yay, I hang out with people!
Beverly is on the left. There was another girl on the right who's name I forgot, and my inadequate camwhore picture taking skills cut her out.
