Normal life

My life after musical has been busy but pretty normal at the same time. I've been attending to Color guard practices on every Tuesday. Bunch of my friends are in it, and I decided to try it because it's something I could not do in Finland. We have been learning some dance moves to the warm up and basic flag spins, and I have really enjoyed it so far!

I forgot to mention about this, but on May 20th me, Luisa, and Mikkel went to middle school to meet with the language club students. We shortly told about our countries (Finland, Brazil, and Denmark), and then they asked some pretty clever questions! It was so nice to talk with the students because all of them were really interested in hearing how our countries are different to US. 

On Friday 4th, I gave presentations about Finnish food culture to three different culinary 2 classes. I spent a lot of time doing the presentation where I told information about Finnish culture, the ingredients we use in cooking, every day eating schedule, and traditional foods. Making this presentation made me miss things from home, but luckily I still had few rye bread slices in the freezer to calm down my feelings :D

One day I went shopping with my host mom, and when we came home, I organized my closet and realized how much I stuff I've actually bought here... I need to find out a way how to get all this stuff to Finland! But I bet I'm not the only exchange student who is struggling with this!

I got a little hair cut. Big thanks to my host mom who has been cutting my hair during this year! This Monday I also went to have a dinner with my liaisons. It's always so nice to catch up with them and talk about exchange year things. 

This Wednesday I finally went to Taco Bell with Natalie and Marissa! Now I only need to go to Burger King, IHOP, and Dunkin' Donuts so I can officially say that I've went to all of the most famous American food places.

Art class!

This week rehearsals with the Glitter Girls group started. The most difficult thing is that the rehearsals are always before the school at 7am, which is pretty tiring. We are doing the songs Roots Before Branches and Stars Shall I Find.

Prom dress shopping with Sydney! We tried on some prom dresses, but I might order my online. Instead of a dress we found these American dollar leggings from H&M, I didn't get the though :D 

I must give a shout out to this weather! Today it was +28 celsius warm, absolutely amazing. I can't believe it's only 13th of April! 

I was going to do another post about the musical, but instead please go here http://srfilmvideo.zenfolio.com/f107757644 to see more pictures from the show if you are interested.
