La gente

La gente, The people

So I'm gonna write about my friends in here... (pienta painostusta ollu havaittavissa :P)

Oh, first a few things about school. My school is private chatolic school, but in fact it's aika rento... I mean we have school uniforms... a skirt and we can use what ever saadyllista dark shirt that we want to. We can use make-up at school (but nobody does) Every day half of the class is late from the first lesson and when they arrive they just say ''Buenas dias'' to the teacher and come in... In the breaks they play music from the... dunno... keskusradio... music that they play in the boliches and some people dance in the hall, yeah i like my school (:

(oh, btw, you know a cheese called ''philadelphia'' or something, Here it's called ''Finlandia'' :P)

Soo, people:

At school I'm mainly with my classmates



Maru: I'm sitting next to her. She speaks English, and she explanes me everything that i don't understand (: She plays volley as well.

Yo y Maru

Mayra: One of the sweetest girls of my class. She always speaks to me altouhg i understand half of what she says, ja eilen ma autoin sita matikassa :D

There is 100 of you who, i'd want to write, but 2 who i can't skip are:

Nacho y Lucio


Nacho y Lucio



2 of the most annoying and most amazing people who i know :D They always complein that i say ''D'' wrong way, No puedddoo....  Nacho yrittaa saada mut kutisemaan, Lucio piirtaa jotai mun kateen. They write 2 pages something weird to my calendar. Everyday they make me laugh... and they drive me crazy... And i know that they are drying to read this with google translater :D (and guess who were complaining ''why you didn't say anything about me in your blog'') But I'm so glad that they are in the same class with me, it would be much more boring, without them (:

There is lots of amazing people in my class and in other classes, and i'll write about them when i get to know them better (:

And of course there is the group of 3 Sofias, 2 Micaelas, my sis Flor, Romi, Cami... they are all really nice as well and they are helping me with everything... (:

Oh, btw last weekend i was riding, there was 2 horses, 2 guys and me :D it was fun, and 2 more person fell love with me...or my blond hear and bluegreengraysomethig eyes ...


aand something else random

always when i meet a new people the first questions are these

1. Como te llamas= what is your name?
2. Dedonde sos? = Where are you from?
3. Tenes novio aca?= Do you have a boyfriend here?
4. Te gusta algien?= Do you like someone?
5.Queres novio aca?= Do you want a boyfriend from here?
6. Tenes novio en Finlandia?= Do you have a boyfriend in Finland

Almost everytime when i meet a new person, i mean even my teacher could ask those questions... but my answeres are quite boring... :P

Escuela acá y otra stuff

Hellou people (:

Now I've been In Argentina 3 weeks, i can't believe it, time has gone so fast. If someone told me, that I came yesterday, I'd propably believe it. But anyway I love this country and this village <3

I've been learning lots of Spanish and I feel that everyday I can speak a bit more. I understand pretty much already, I mean if there is conversation between 2 people, I understand most of it and if there is 10 guys shouting at the same time, I usually have a idea what they're shouting about (jalkimmaisia tilanteita on taalla huomattavasti enemman ku noit ensimmaisia) But (almost) everytime when someone asks me something, I can't understand what the person said... So, people in here think that I understand less than what i do and sometimes it's funny when people are talking about me, thinking that i don't understand (: (and i do :P)

Escuela

My school... I have a school uniform <3 enka inhoo mitaan enempaa, kun siihen kuuluvia sukkahousuja -.- In the school there is about 200 students from age 13-18 in my class there is about 20 students. Ma oon yks luokan vanhimmista, koska taalla menee sillei, et koska oon ysifemma loppuvuodesta meen eriluokalle ku ysivitoset, jotka on syntyny alkuvuodesta. (kerranki nain pain)
  When i started the school I had to choose do i go to the ''art class'' or ''somethingelse class'' I chose the ''somethingelse class'' So, it means that i have about 7 hours in a week subjects called economics, sistema, administrasomethigion eli taloustiedetta, ''kaupallisenkirjanpidonkeinotjuttua'' ja jotain hallintotiedetta...yeah... yes i do have something else as well (: (but after a year i know a lot of interesting vocabulary ) I've physics, Spanish, geography, psycology, math, history, P.E., English and music. I had to schoose 6 of them, which i'll get grades and do exams... so i chose math, psycology, English, music, physics (juu, vapaaehtosesti fysiikkaa o.O) and mandatory for me was Spanish.
  My school days seem pretty much like this:

1. I wake up at 6.10
2. The first lesson starts at 7.00 (=7.15) I leave from home at 6.55 (I once left at 6.48, I was at school 6.56 and I was the first student in whole school)
3. When I go to the classroom everyone in there is sleeping on their desks and the first lesson i'm only trying not to fall a sleep (i've done that as well :P)
4. On breaks i talk with others, walk around the school... explane to my friends that in Finland we have to study at school (noh... riippuu koulusta) and so on...
5. Tunneilla porukka selittaa koko ajan jotain ja raplaa kannykkaa (jota siis ei kai sais ees tuoda kouluun) juttelee opettajan kanssa viime viikonlopusta. Opettaja saattaa tulla halaamaan oppilasta (ei kaikki) ja sanoo, et se rakastaa sita tai toisinpain. Opettaja saattaa tulla syomaan oppilaitten evaita :) Siis erilaista (: Kyl joskus joku  tekee jotain kouluun liittyvaa ja ehka taa on vahan liiotteluu, mut verrattuna suomeen... tosi erilaista. (: But anyway me gusta.
6. At 13.00 (1pm) we go to home and sleep a bit (i couldn't do that in the beginning, but now i have to, because illalla porukka valvoo ain tosi myohaan)
7. Then i see my friends or go to play volley (i have volley 5 days in the week, but i'm not going there every day) and today i'm gonna have my first singing lesson.... the music teacher liked my voice (o.O) and now i'm taking lessons.

Mita oon oppinu koulussa tahan mennessa.

1. Empresa=yritys
2. Sain tanaa rubikin kuutiosta 2 sivuu tehtya, en tiia minka tunnilla
3. Miten nukkua tunnilla.
4. Nayttaa silta, et en ymmarra asioita jota en halua ymmartaa...
5. Miten sanotaan ''umpikannissa'' espanjaks

What else, people here are really nice and everyone helps me (koska oon aika pihalla usein) and guys send ''besos''=kisses me through my friends phones (dunno how you should say that) I don't have a working phone, cause they told me in the shop, that cause my phone is from Finland local sim-card doesn't work.. and now i have to buy a new phone...

That's it this time (:
 
Chicas (includes 2 Micaelas and 3 Sofias)


En Boliche con Mica

I don't have too much pics now, sorry.. (:

Mi Argentina

There has happend a lot since I last wrote something to here (:

On friday and on saturday night I went to boliche (=disco) it was something that I've never experienced before, the whole place was full of people. I mean full. Sometimes we could barely move. And yeah... it was interesting :D

Arriving to Cordoba

And on Monday I started school. I'm going the 5th grade, kinda 11th, lukion tokaa. We have lots of economics and staff like that and you can imagine how much I understand.. Castellano (=Spanish) <3 But at least I understand math and physics. The things that they are doing in math are kinda easy, like things i did one year ago, so my class mates thing that I'm really good at math :DD Today i was just studying a Finnish math course (Ma.a8)

  Lessons here are really weird, I start school at 7am and finish it at 1pm and during that time we have 9 lessons o.O theu are so short, hard to understand. At school everybody wants to talk to me and everyone asks ''what kinda music i listen?'' I understand something and i'm able to speak something, but it's kinda hard when there is 5 guys shouting at the same time. ''Do you love me?'' -Yes, sure. '' Say something in Finnish!'' - Moi. ''Plaplapla (spanish)?'' - Que?, Sí sí. ''Come to my house to drink maté'' - What? I don't understand... :D and so on.

  But yes, sometimes i understand whole conversations, and sometimes nothing. Anyway I can speak more than I expected (: and I'm learning all the time.

Corral de Bustos (center)

The best thing I took with me has been bible and villasukat (: suosittelen muillekki vaihtareille.

Here is somethings that are very different here than in Finland.

1. There is no locks in the bathrooms' doors. If the door is closed it means someone is inside... In the public toilets there (usually) is. (But I don't get why there is a lock in at least some bedroom doors.)

2. Pyorissa ei oo tarakoita, porukkaa kuskataan siin ohjaustangon paalla.... ???

3. Everyone here drinks Pepsi and 7up, I've seen Fanta once... And limonade is here in the bottels of 2l, 2 and half, 3l...????

4. I know is it weird or not, but they drink even wine with Pepsi...

5. Girls use make-up only in the parties, not at school or anywhere.

6. All young people sit always in the sidewalk in the center and if a car passes by where is someone they know they can just walk there to the middle of the road and start to talk with the ones in the car.

7. There is about 100 guys who want me to be their girlfriend (good luck with that... :D)

Yeah, things in here are really different than in Finland. About the places that I know this is propably most like Israel (: niinku joku valimeren maa.

And in Finnish (Suomeks)

On ollu tosi kivaa. Kulttuuri on taalla tosi erilainen, kun Suomessa. Koulussa ymmarran lahinna matikasta ja fysiikasta, mut paivat ei oo pitkia joten se on ihan jees. Oon saanu paljon kavereita ja pystyn jopa puhumaan vahan Espanjaa.



Still in Finland



Cordoba

Girls from the camp

En Corral de Bustos

Hello guys (:

I'm now in Corral de Bustos in my host family. I love this place, the town it's not too big and it's so beautiful. The house is really nice as well.

I was so happy yesterday when i met my host family, all exchange students were so excited when the families arrived. The camp in the Cordoba was nice and i got lots of new friends, i hope i'm gonna still see them in Argentina. It took 3 and half hours by car from Cordoba to Corral de bustos (it's not so much, because some of my friends have to go by bus about 9 hours...) there was a bus strike yesterday so i don't think they were able to go to the families.. I don't know how long it will last..

But anyway, I was suprised how much i understand Spanish (it's not much) but when people are talking I understand what they are talking about... (but i never understand anything when someone ask me something.. :D) I speak Spanglish with my sis and Spanish with my mom (''i speak'') Yesterday I met some my sister's friends and they don't speak too much English (it's just good, because i wouldn't learn any Spanish, if they did) so... it was kinda interesting, they had to speak really slowly and still say the same sentence about 100 times :DD but i understood.... something :D It's funny cause it seems that 52% Argentinian girls are Sofias 38% Micaelas and rest somethingelse''elas''. (: So, I'lll propably call everybody ''Sofias'' at the beginning :D

So, this morning I ate suolakekseja for desayuno with dulce de leche (sellasta toffeeta) and now my host mom is working and sis is coming soon from school, I'll start school on Monday at 7.30 o.O but the school ends usually at 1 pm :P This night we'll go to some disco (today it's day called friend's day) and tomorrow as well and on Sunday everybody just sleeps...

So, i'll tell you about mi casa (my home) in here. We live in the center in the second floor (there is just 2 floors in the building) So, when you go in first there is a big living room. On the left there is a kitchen and one bedroom and bathroom. And on the right from the livingroom there is kinda ''small'' hall, my and my sis's room and my host mom's room and a bathroom. The apartment is really big i guess it's pretty much the same size as my home in Finland.. or even a bit bigger.  I'll put some pictures later.

So, what else.. the temperature. When we arrived to Cordoba a week ago, it was really cold. About +10 celsius and a few days were really cold (it's winter in here) But yesterday it was maybe about 20 degrees, but at night it's colder. The house is not as cold as i expected, but it's bit colder than houses are in Finland. (it's funny, here people use really warm jackets, in Finland some people would use a t-shirt in this temperature) jotkut kayttaa taal toppatakkeja :D and everyone is asking me '' isn't it cold?''

So anyway that's it this time, next time (hopefully) I'll load some pics (: But anyway Me encanta Argentina y Corral de Bustos! <3

Estoy en Argentina!!!!

I can't write a lot now, but anyway.. I'm now in cordoba...

The journey took almost 30 hours... i was so tired after that, I slept about 5 hours at plane... From STS there is 6 of us from Finland (so much o.O i was so suprised) 2 from Sweden, 1 from Germany, 1 from Norweigian and 1 from Switzerland. They are really nice and it was fun to travell with them (: Then there is like.... 10... more from Germany and someone from Canada and 2 from  New Zeland.... (:
  Yeah, so no we are in a orientation camp. We stay in one hostel, it's fine. (I can't put any pics now... later...) Today we walked in the city a bit and then we had 5 hours Spanish... there is 3 groups for different levels and I`m in the second group. It was really nice i understood what the teacher was saying and yeah.. (: Now it's nine and we're gonna have a dinner after one hour..different than in Finland.. there we eat usually at 5... and the time difference is 6 hours to Finland.. 
  So what else... I'm tired... I can't believe that I'm here, but I love Argentina already!!! it's so amazing. This camp will last until wednesday and on thursday my host family will come to take me to corral de bustos!! Can't wait!! (We're gonna have 5 spanish lessons every day...) But it's just good and the teacher of my group is really good (: 


So, it's so amazing to be here and when other are thinking if they made a right desicion (i dunno if you write it like this...but what ever) I was just wondering what i've been doing in finland all these years (:

Ask me what you wanna know! (: 


Suomeksi

So, my flight leaves from Helsinki-Vantaa airport on Friday and first we fly to  Heathrow and then we take an other plane and we fly to Buenos Aires... that flight takes like... 12 hours?? And then we have 6 hours time in there and then we fly to Cordoba. So... travelling takes about 26 hours... I think I don't want to see a plane for a year... (and propably I won't) :D

  There is 5 of us going to Argentina from Finland and we'll meet people from around Europe at the Heathrow (those who are coming to Argentina as well)

  Oh, finally I've put 2 of my songs to youtube... I have still 3 more. So, those songs have been recorded in our living room... and the CD is not too professional.. but anyway. So, the song called ''Amazing'' is propably oldest of these songs, I wrote it winter 2011 or 2010.. ''Someone'' is one of my favourites. I wrote it last fall. I made it for school as a music project. The newest is ''More than your dreams'' I wrote it this spring. I've been writing songs from year 2002.. ( I was 7)... but we didn't record now those older ones
