Herbstferien, Spiekeroog, Geburtstag

Hallo!

The time is running so fast that I can't keep up with everything. But here I am, once again to write about some things and yeah, let's see.

The Autumn break came and went, I had some time to relax and sleep long and catch up with things for what I didn't have time with school going on and so. But I did actually something too :D I was shopping in Bielefeld, we were with my host-family in Spiekeroog and I trained Kung fu.

I just love the ocean

There's this Icelandic horse stable in Spiekeroog and I wanted to ride with an Icelandic 'cause it has been quite a while since I last did, and I wanted to remember my baby pony back in Finland. We went with my host sisters and my host mom for a 4 hour ride, and most of it we rode along the seashore. It was quite amazing!

Hamingja ♥

Then I also turned, finally, 18 last week! :) I celebrated with my German friends on Saturday and then with my host-family on Sunday. Thank you everyone, it was really, really nice, even though I was a little homesick because, yeah, it was an important day for me and my family and closest friends weren't there. BUT I'm going to celebrate again when I'm back in Finland :D

Something from Finland

Vielen Dank Hannah und Philip

Oh and I also suffered otitis and had to visit a doctor. But it wasn't such a big of deal, I ate some antibiotics for five days and some painkillers, too, and then it was gone.

p.s. I have a lot more pictures from Spiekeroog but Blogger doesn't want to co-operate with me and I'm loosing my temper.... but I still want to post this finally today, so here :D

The first day part 2

Hallo :)

This week I baked some Finnish pastries for my host-family, school started, I got my new timetable, I hanged out with the cats and went riding with Sophia. It was a pretty good week I could say. Normal but good.

So, for everyone who reads my blog and is planning to go to exchange themselves, the beginning of the school really isn't that bad. At least it wasn't for me. The night before the first day I didn't sleep well at all. I wasn't able to fall asleep even though I was really tired. When I finally drifted to the dream world I didn't get much of a rest. I was so nervous for the upcoming day that my whole night was full of nightmares.

I woke up before my alarm clock, I was tired, I didn't want to leave my bed. But I had to. I got up, I got ready and before I even noticed, I was at the school's office planning my subjects and such. Because I go to the same school with my host-sister I spent the fist day with her and her class. I had met couple of her classmates already so it was okay.

School started on Wednesday, and on Thursday I met my new class. Luckily my classmates are really nice and I was taken care of so much that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On Friday I went for the first time ever to school with the school bus. Before we got a ride from Sophia's friend but I had to learn to use the bus since next week I have to take it to school everyday, alone.
