Football-fitness without any homesickness

More than a week. That's time I have spent here now. I have fallen in love with Iowa. Don't worries.. it's not a girl, it's a state. I can tell you that I have had homesickness as much as I have been in Finland during this week, so NO homesickness at all! :) I think the reasons are that I have been so buzy and all the people are sooooooo nice !

School started on on Wednesday. It didn't felt school at all 'cause all the teachers were just asking questions about out vacation and so on. Like: "Did you have a boy/girlfriend during the summer?", "Who broke up with somebody in summer?" I think that it would have been nice to ask those questions from the teacher as well. But I thought that wasn't my best idea. And the other hand she or he would have got it wrong and that I was asking her/him for a date... :s So the first day started so good: I messed up with my schedule like 3 times and every time I changed one course, other courses fell as domino reaction. I think it was quite important to get courses which I liked best 'cause I'm gonna study same courses in same order for a half year, must look every same faces that whole time... But it will be fun! ;) School is always fun, isn't it? Second day wasn't easier than the first one. I messed up again with my schedule and change some of them AGAIN. Don't get this wrong: my mind is not that kind of "whole time changing" like some girls have... ;--D It's just my schedule liked to change itself. Finally, after all battles, crying, laughing. HERE IT IS! This kind of schoolday I will have every day. Ladies and centleman, my schedule for a half year:


1. Physical Education (don't get fat)
2. Topics in Social Studies (quite cool)3. Physics (keeps my brains working)
4. Choir (I'm gonna be next American Idol)
5. Pre Calculus (1+1=3)
6. US History (interesting)
7. Drafting (no frkn idea what's this gonna be like...)
8. English 11 (I can speak English)


So here u are. I think all the teachers of these subjects are very nice and funny, but I have to say that the teacher who teaches History and that Social thing is the most funny man in this planet. :--) I like all the courses much more than in Finland but the reason might be that they haven't started for real yet.. When they have I will write about that! :)

I said that "hell" started. But I think it was and is much more like heaven. Today we had no school 'cause... I don't really know the real reason. But who cares! ((: I will go to school next time on Wednesday 'cause we r going to travel to Michigan my USA mom's sister and after that on Monday to Chicago to see Green Day. Next time I will have school on Wednesday.. so sad.. ;--<


Here are couple of photos. This is the house where I'm living. :)) What u think?



After a hour or so I will go to my very first American football game! So this can be my last blog 'cause I maybe don't have hands or head after hitted 987987 times to ground. Just kidding :) ....987988 times I mean. But anyways I don't think I'm gonna play much 'cause it would be like suicide to put me playing whole game after one real practice. To be honest I have no idea what I have to do. Only thing I really need is luck. So could somebody bring it to me? ;--) I will do next blog after that Michigan-Chicago-Greenday-trip. (:

'til then
