I'm ready for 2015!

Decided to write now when it's still 2014! Well at least in most parts of the world, and here too. I hope everyone is having good time today and celebrating the start of the new year with friends and/or family :) I'm heading tonight to a party, where, I guess, is at least half of my German classmates. I'm looking forward to it ^^

And now that the year is ending, it means that I have just spent my first Christmas away from my family, my home country and that I've experienced something new and got to know the traditions of another family and country. My Christmas was good. I ate a lot of cookies and cake, both an important part of German Christmas. But not like in Finland, in Germany there isn't special Christmas food. It's a tradition to eat potato salad and sausages on 24th but that's it. 

Our Christmas tree was/is HUGE!

What made my Christmas this year even better, was that the packet my mom sent me arrived on time! It arrived on the 24th.... xD I was worrying so much already that all my presents for my host-family would suck 'cause, to be honest, half of them were in that packet. It was such a relief when it arrived! (And there were presents for me too ♥)

Nikolaus went by

Two times :D

Before Christmas, I had also my belt exam and I was able to pass it! So now I have the yellow belt in Kung fu. But the next time I was training, I hurt my ankle, that was Wednesday. On Thursday, I stayed home because I couldn't walk properly. My foot kept on swelling so we decided to go to see the doctor. On Friday, I went to school (it was the last day before holidays) and then we drove to Melle and one hour or so later I had a pair of new shoes and a cast for six weeks, yay.

My last fight without belt

2014 wasn't that great year. There were so many bad things that happened, so many catastrophes and everything.... Of course there were also many good things but even so, I'm really waiting for the new year! HAPPY 2015! 

And I'm ending this year with my host sister kitty who's manipulating ski jumping... :D
