Awesome

AWESOME. That's the word to describe my feeling right now. :--)) I'm not sick anymore (just little coughing), I spoke with my best friend and my family in skype few hours this morning and I just came from walking with my mom (it was so cool; stars in the sky, perfect weather...). So these r some reasons for the word "AWESOME". If u check some dictionary there will be that kind of explanation of that word, believe me.

There's not much to tell about this week. I went school every day except on Thursday, and skipped all football practices 'cause I was sick. But on Friday there was a thing in last period called "pep rally". All the students and teachers came to our jim and there was such things as "throwing one teacher with pie", a running competition, cheerleaders' dance and good music. It was fun I think. We don't have in Finland this kind of thing, do we? I mean, yeah, u can throw ur teacher with pie but usually there's not so much people watching u than we had. :--((

Another "thing" which is coming closer is HOMECOMING. It means that there is a parade in one day, then there's a football game (with the best badass player of USA: Sami) And the last thing in Homecoming: Homecoming dance. And guess who have a partner already? ;) And I can tell it's a girl. :--) Sydney. We had become really good friends. ::)) So let's wait for homecoming !

During this week I have seen like 6 American movies (the ones we rented) and they all have been great ! : ) Btw when u people there in Finland complain about raining and that kind of stuff, I can tell here is about 30 celsius and sun is shining :) !

Today I spoke with my family and best friend Kari in Skype as I told. It was great to see their faces and hear their voices. We talked about pretty much everything. It was so nice! No words, but it didn't affect any homesickness. ((: I'm gonna talk with my parents once a month during this year. Somebody could think that's too much or not enough. But for me it's perfect, and that's the main thing. With friends the speaking in Skype is not so planned. When I have boring time I just called to my friends like 4am Finnish time and they love it! :)) Maybe it isn't so good idea if I want to keep my both eyes without black color... :--/ But I will made up something. (: Like get a helmet before coming back or something..

I have eaten KARJAN PIIRAKOITA few days now! My mom here made them. They r delicious and taste as same as in Finland. (better than in there) I have YFU-meeting in Iowa city tomorrow and I will see 50 other exchange students! :--) That's gonna be great. But waking up early tomorrow isn't a great thing. So I'm gonna sleep now. I will write about tomorrow as soon as I can! :)
