I am desperate for American slang, since no one here understands me whenever I use words like "fo'shizzle",so I am just going to use as many slang words as I can to get them out of my system. You are all just going to have to deal with it.
'Sup peeps, not much going on this week. Today I went to Rotary and listened to a presentation about Finnish real estate. Was good practice for learning numbers!
Just got back from my first wind band rehearsal. Nicest people ever. Honestly. My mouth hurts like no other though since I haven't played in so long, but I had SO much fun. I hadn't realized how much I missed playing. I just get this big kick out of working in total harmony with a group of individuals to make something completely breathtaking. I've always been amazed at the balance in a music group. Each individual has such a major role in maintaining the balance, while still putting in a personal touch. And when you get 25 people together who absolutely love what they're doing, of course it's gonna be awesome! I'm playing a tenor sax, and I have no idea who's it is. Some guy just gave it to me at the start of rehearsal (He didn't speak a lick of English), and another guy told me to take it home at the end. Okay...It's kinda old, but it's in really good condition. Everyone was so nice and helpful, it was like I joined some gigantic music family. They were so legitly happy to have me there, and it was cool to get musical instructions in Finnish. Word of the day- Bumpa! (It means Coda in English)
Tomorow I am trying my hand at ARCHERY with a school friend. Hopefully I won't maim or kill anyone. Also I have language class.
Wednesday I have language class, and before that I am meeting with my future host sister Tiia for coffee. She doesn't speak much English, but I find that I am getting super good at Charades, so we should be all good,
Thursday I am going to Movie day in Kuusankoski with some school friends. 3£ movies!
Friday....I am doing something...But I don't remember what it is...
Anyways, I am busy with stuff.
