Anyways, now it works again, and you can read my lovely thought after that little break. Isn't that great? Even greater thing is that I've been done with school since 20th of May. After that I have been pretty much sleeping, eating and relaxing. Even though, these last months at school were pretty much sleeping and eating too. After all I like this situation better (a softer couch).
Between sleeping and eating I've been playing Baseball in our school's team. We have practices every day from Monday to Friday 5-7PM. As you guys might remember, I played Finnish Baseball for 10 years. So, I walked to our first practice with really confident thoughts. After that first practice my thoughts were: "Thank God I didn't tell anything about my FInnish Baseball career to coaches... That career didn't help me at all."
Of course catching the ball is similar stuff. Running to bases has different rules though. Then, there is the most different thing: batting. To be honest, in the batting, there are only two common things, when comparing to Finnish version: both have a ball and a bat. Everything else, including pitching and batting technique, are new things for me to learn. I admit, it's kinda funny to start learning to bat in a totally different way than I have used to do 10 years. Until this day the ball has hit my body parts more than my bat. I might have more bruises than home runs in the end of this season. I was cathing in one of our games already... for one inning. I might play in one or two games still, we'll see. I'm gonna quit Baseball soon anyways though, because I have only few weeks left and I wanna see my friends and enjoy the rest of my time here. :--) Enjoy these photos of a future baseball star and his team.
St. Louis. I found myself from there last Wednesday. I was there for two days with our Senior Class. You don't have to be Einstein to realize that it was our Senior Class trip. We left 6AM, which was really wonderful. After we got there, we went to a City Museum. It was kinda like children's playground, but hey; I'm only 18! It was like a work-out to climb in small holes, and some of them were really slippery (doesn't sound perv or anything...). Anyways, here are some pictures from there. In the second one, you can see our Senior Class of 2011. Believe or not we had fun.
Once we have acted enough like babies, we drove to our hotel. The hotel was awesome; free popcorn and pops as much as you can get into your belly. As soon as our bellies were full, we went swimming to our hotel's pool. We had to go back to our rooms after and hour or so, because there wer tornado warning in St. Louis! I was ready for flying cars in the sky and lots of broken glass. After a while I got dissapointed, when the only stuff that I saw were huge wind and rainy weather. After all it was maybe better that it wasn't any worse. Otherwise I woulnd't been writing this blog. I wanna keep you readers happy.
Hard Rock Cafe was our next address. Waiters there weren't as excited as in Hawaii, but burgers were as delicious for sure. Here's a bad quality from the restaurant.
Next morning came (what a suprise!) and we ate breakfast and headed to the Mall of St. Louis. I didn't buy anything. My suitcase is in a diet right now and can't gain any more weight.
Today was a really hot, sunnt and nice day. I also graduated yesterday (not a big deal). There's some limit in people's interests to read this blog. So, I will make a new blog from Graduation. I always think your best.
'til next time (which will be after 20 mins..)
