So, not much has happened since my last post. Probably the most exciting thing is that I got my hair cut. But that was pretty dramatic I guess. I am proud that I was able to communicate in both Finnish and English, and that I didn't end up bald. :D Tomorow I have to give my presentation at the Rotary meeting, and I can only hope that I don't unwittingly offend everyone. In other news, went to the movies on Thursday; was going to see Rare Exports, a Finnish movie about selling Santa Clause (The trailer has lots of explosions!), but due to technical difficulties, had to go to Friends with Benefits instead. Was pretty good, and I had an awesome time.
FINNISH WORD OF THE DAY: Perkele = Satan
-Can be used to express great distress or anger
-Is also in old Finnish bibles
Common Example:
"Perkele!!"
Note: When using this word, one must roll the R to the greatest extreme. You must sound like a cat when saying this word, like a true Finn.
I had a very nice time too! Thanks! ps. your new hair is cool!
ReplyDeleteSo can you send some better pictures of your hair?
ReplyDeleteI always liked you with long hair, but it's your hair and your choice. As long as it doesn't end up purple, i'm good with it.
ReplyDeleteGah! It's not that big of a deal..Dad that's silly. If anything I would dye my hair RAINBOW COLORS!
