coffee!
well, time for updates.
monday. school : english and history
the history presentation went really quite well. we then played company and interview during english. well, we (Nadja, Elina, Kati, me) had a lame company. 'Canadian Tree Planting Foundation'. so we had to prepare a CV and a covering letter, then deliver it to the group which is the company you are applying for. also, we had to look at the ad and decide on questions for the interview. haha. anyways, i applied for 'Disneyland'. our applicants were Salla, Mikko (Mäkelä, we have 3 Mikkos in the class) and Emma.
so we did the interviews and stuff like that. Salla was ok, though she was uncertain. Emma was impressive. Mikko, well, lets just say he was being Mikko. it went somewhat like this :
Q : So, do you like trees and have you had previous tree planting experiences?
A : oh, i have no interest in trees and i have never planted a tree
Q : What skills do you have that will help improve our tree-planting team?
A : I have no skills, but i came bcos Nadja said i'd get the job.
Q : Do you like getting dirty ( in soil)
A : Not at all.
Q : Do you want the job?
A : No
well, you can figure out for yourself why we chose Emma in the end. =) i got my essay back. turns out that i've slipped. i got a 10-. Not a 10 like i had hoped. then i got home, slacked awhile and went to the library after that. then i came home.
had a terrible night's sleep. woke up at around 7 for school, rushed down for a 1 hr english lesson and then i had 3 hrs free, as everyone else had. they went to the library and i went home. then later at 13.15 i had history and i rushed back to school only to find out that we had a REPORTER and TV CREW in our class. dang it. well, luckily, we didn't present today, and so my face was not on tv. haha. i must say that i was quite lucky i did it yesterday.
so our history lesson ended and i was on the way home when Emma, Julia and Salla invited me for coffee. so i went with them to fetch money from Julia's mom and then we headed to CoffeeHouse at Armada's. and there was no window seat! so the girls and i went to Raastuvankatu so i could fetch my purse. then aft that we went to Salla's mother's working place to get money for Salla. and when we got back to CoffeeHouse, there was a window seat free. yay.
we got some cocoa and chatted. the girls found out i can speak Finn. dang, there goes another secret. so well, now Kati, Emma, Salla and Julia know abt it. we hung there till 5.30 and then we went to get some snacks at the pharmacy. yep, at the pharmacy. haha. the old guy there was funny. he asked us in finn "And what sickness does that help?" had so much fun chatting. then we went to pick Salla up at the bus stop you went back to school to make coffee and tea.
the sch is a really nice place to hang. haha, we went to the cafeteria to get things ready. cut cake and stuff like that. Elina taught me how to use the coffee maker. after that we slacked in the room. Sonja was there and so Ville. Mikko and Kati came over from the 'new' building to tell us that the SmartBoard was not working, and they were taking a break after working on it for 2.5 hours. after that we hung out in the cafeteria drinking tea and coffee and having cake and chatting. Emma and Ville went to present the IB stuff. after clearing up, me and Salla and Sonja went to watch in the hall. Emma and co. were so cute abt handling my secret. they kept on asking ppl to talk in English so that i would understand. haha.
i saw topi, i think. oh well, he kinda flashed a smile and went to jam. heard him from downstairs in the cafeteria hitting those drums real hard. haha.
the principal of Lyseo is so cool! and i love the pantry of the school and the cafeteria! and the hall, or what they call the gym hall, is very nice. ropes and climby thingies. haha.
i think i will really miss the ppl and the school after i go, reluctant as i was to go in the beginning. todella upea koulu ja ystävälliset luokka toverit! oh, and i think i saw meri qvist today. haha, didn't manage to talk to her.
oh well, today was so cool. kinda tired though. i love the school at night.
till next time,
tata
