Tomorrow to the holidays!

And finally only in english! :)

At the moment I'm just sitting in the school library doing nothing because almost half of the students are away. Some people are at hotel school, year 12s are in the year 12 retreat, some of my friends are in some science stuff and I'm the only one at school from our drama class.. Couldn't get any more boring than this.

Well actually yeaterday I had to sit and listen a 4 hour speech about the QCS test that the year 12s are going to do next year when I'm not even here. Oh well... It was kinda interesting but still there was no point of me being there.

Tomorrow we have to closing liturgy for our term 3 and then I'm off to the holidays!! Finally! On Saturday is the Carnival of Flowers and I'm going to see a parade, all the beautiful flowers and so on. I guess that I have never been to a proper parade before.. I'm going to take a lot of pictures from there! :)

It's also starting to get really hot out here, for friday they have promised about 30 degrees so I'm just going to die here in the summer when it gets even hotter.. And the sun here is so much hotter than finnish sun, it sunburns you in 30 minutes and you cannot even think about tanning here. I have tanned a little already so I'm really curios what I'll be like in 8 months. Haha :) I have also bought heaps of new clothes because almost all of my clothes from Finland are too warm.. So skirts, dresses and new tops :) Thank you Skye for finding all those beautiful outfits for me! <3

But still... I'm again a little bit homesick and sometimes it really feels like it would have been so much easier to stay in Finland. Or that I would have gone to another counrty for my exchange year. I'm already afraid about my leaving and knowing the fact that it's not going to be so easy to get back here.. I know that I shouldn't be thinking about that already but I guess that everybody does that when they go for their exchange year.

I guess that it was so much easier to leave Finland over two months ago because deep inside me, I knew that I'll get back there in less than a year. I didn't hug my brothers and I would change that if I just could. Maybe when I'm away from my family, it just makes me more closer to them. Who knows.

See ya!
