¿Que mas se puede pedir?

From the school with Anabel,

Hey guys!

296 days behind 65 to go... How fast the time can go? I'm going to miss this place so much! This culture, these people - these crazy people (finally i found some people like me ^^) when nobody is afraid to say what they think ... when there doesn't exist a word "silence" 

Okay.. honestly i did have the idea to stay here.. but don't worry I'm going back to Finland.. for a while at least. 

Propably nobody of you remembers that i wrote a list about stuff that i was gonna do and staff that i wasn't gonna do in last June (in the text "almost there") So anyway i'm gonna tell you how did i do with that: 

I'm gonna 

-Have fun! -I did, i have had an amazing year!
-Get so much experiences -I really did, seeing whales, galloping with the horse on the beach in the sunset.. and so much more
-Aprender Castellano (Learn Spanish) - Si, me parece que aprendi por lo menos algo... o no?
-Make 200 friends - No, I made at least 300
-Have a great time with my host family - My siblings are cute ^^
-Ruskettua :D -I've never been that brow that i'm now! I'm one of the darkest people (of the color of the skin) of my class.. and it's pretty well here
-Find some nice church -I did :)
-Eat something ... interesting - Yep, every kind of meat that you can imagine (okay, almost) and yep.. other interesting stuff as well
-Have a year, that I won't forget ever - I did <3
-Enjoy every minute that I spend in Argentina! -Most of the time yep..

I'm not going to

-Get bored - I did
-Miss too much Finland - I did
-Speak English -I did
-Get a boyfriend (sorry guys :P) - I almost did
-Spend time in Facebook (people, study how to use an e-mail!) -I did
-Be too Finnish (shy and.. u know ''Finnish people are like'') - I did
-Forget people in Finland (I still love you <3) -Sometimes i did
-Regret that I chose to be an exchange student in Argentina! - I DID NOT!!!

Haha.. pretty well, isn't it? I've learned so much during this year :) I'm so much more relaxed, i'm not so keen on the timetables as i used to be... As well i've done a lot of stuff that... okay i've learned a lot ^^

Btw, last weekend i had an other competition of show jumping and it didn't go too well.... i fell 3 times >.< no, i'm not gonna give you any more information :P 

Bueno, no tengo mucho mas para decir ^^ solo les digo a ustedes que no pueden imaginar como quiero este lugar, lo voy a extrañar un monton <3 Y espero que me van a visitar en Finlandia mis Argentinos <3

Viviendo un sueño

Es Abril!!

This year has gone so fast.. it's crazy to think that i've been here already almost 10 months.. o.O And only 2 and half months left. I understand conversationes, i can speak.. i can write a ... "essay" in spanish without any mistake... and i "can" do a exam subjects called "proyecto y gestion de microem... (i can't remember how you write it) and " and philosophy... And i can jump 115cm with a horse!!!! (I did that yesterday)

I honestly spend all my days at the stable. (Today i rode 3 horses.. sometimes 5 horses in one day) At the Weekends i wake up at 8 to go there.. and other days i go there usually straight after the school. (My school ends at 1.30 pm o 2.30pm)

So that's my place.. a bit different than in Finland?

Question: What in the photo tells that i've been there?

2 weeks ago i had a competition (of jumping) and i jumped twice 70cm and twice 80cm... I won both of the 70 and first i was 4th in the 80.



And yep, next day i found my face from the main Newspaper of the province... It says that " The finnish Heidi Valkeakari gave the taste of winning in the category Escuela Mayor".. and later that "The international rider from Finland riding "Soy el Rey" represented club CEPM" 

Haha, I'm glad that it doesn't say that i really jumped only 70 and 80 cm... 




I had the jacket of my teacher.. boots of my teacher (they were huge) .. the helmet of my friend and my leggings :DD 



Okay.. i was not gonna tell you that but.. So, the winner of the competition was the one who makes it closest to the time that they give you..  First i had to do it in 69 seconds. And i can honestly tell you that i only tried not start and finish whitout falling or forgerring which one i should jump next. So the horse was kinda.. "heavy" .. it didn't move too well.. so all what i wanted was make it move o bit faster.. So i was kinda suprised when they told me that my time was 69.19 :D Other day i thought a bit more the time.. but not too much anyway, 

There were people who really knew how to jump


And what else.. tomorrow i'll go to an other city to see one.. kinda competition

So, the final information is that i'll go back to Finland 10th of July :) Miss you guys, but i'm just gonna miss so much this place... My crazy friends.. This cultura where everybody dances (and i'm still the worst dancer of the city ^^) Mate - drink.. alfajores.. horses .. people who can't believe that my hair is real.. that everiday i hear someone saying that i'm beautiful (you can't imagine what my bluegreenyellowgrey eyes make people think^^) 

But now i must go ^^

Cya guys

Heidi <3

Learning how to fly

-At least how to jump, but that sounded better ^.^

Yep, i know that you haven't heard anything about me for... a while. But it just means that I'm having fun (in fact now i'm almost never at home) My normal day is pretty much like this: I wake up at 6.45 , I go to school at 7.45 My school ends at 13.30, I go home and i eat. Then at 14.-15.00 I go to stable (by bike.. 5-6km) and i ride 1-3 horses and then at 20.00 i go back home.. i eat, and at 22-23 i go to the bed... 

I have 3 things to tell you

1st I'll go to Buenos Aires!!!!!!! Voy a Buenos Aires!!!!! 

Para una semana. For one week. There is gonna be a conference of the YWam. But I'll tell you more when I come back.

2nd I started school -.- Empeze las clases -.-

This time I must study... and in fact I'm not that bored because I study... now i pretty much understand spanish... and i've friends at school. My subjects are something like this:

 Monday:  

Animacion= "viihde" We do different proyects how to make people have fun (yep, it's interesting.. -.-)

Laboratorio ingles =Laboratory English.. I haven't find out yet what makes it different from normal English (more than that the teacher is not the same).. English here... So for example today we studied what is the difference between "I like apple pie" and "I'd like some apple pie"

Comercalisacion= Or something like that.. Until this we've been studying stuff about a company. Why do they make a ... things and so on.. (I like it ^^ altough i don't really undersand too much)

Tuesday:

Animacion

Comercalisacion

Interpretacion: It's something like "how to make people to be interested in an information" (i'd say that it's not my favourite subject...)

Proyecto: We (they) have one year time to make a "company" not a real one but one that they have to find out everything about producing things and so on (for example "la fabrica de las medias" = "the sock factory" they must find out how much it costs to make them..what machines they need to produce those.. how much they cost.. are there consumers for socks in that area.. are there other facorys...)

I bored... i'm not gonna explane you more just that other subjects are something like: Economia, derecho economical =economical rights, frances, and something that i don't remember... (and educacion fysica, you can guess what it is)

3 I started horse back riding/show jumping. Empeze equitacion = montar los caballos

I LOVE IT! My teacher is one of the best in the Argentina. He has like 60 students who have won national competitions. The place is not like traditional riding school (i'll put pics later) it's place where everyone knows everyone. And yeah i can ride 3 horses in one day.. (so for those who don't know i rode horses 6 years (once in the week 1 hour) in Finland.. but i left it almost 2 years ago)

I'm propably gonna compite (the teacher already said me that before i go i'll jump 1m in the  competition... ) (it's the biggest i've never jumped ) let's see :) For example there is one guy who started 3 years ago and now jumps 120cm and wins ... And other girl started one year ago and jumps 100cm ... (3 monhts sounds pretty long time for me now.. )

I already fell twice (uups .. i started 2 weeks ago) and an other time (i was jumping) the horse almost step on me .. (he did, but nothing happend my arm and cheek are just a bit "blue".. but you can imagine the feeling laying there seeing the horse over you.. i already thought that i'm gonna see my God pretty soon^^ (he didn't want me to see him yet so i'm still here until he changes his mind)) 

But I'm so happy that i was able to start that, I love it! I'm gonna write a lot about it in the future don't worry

Whyyyy I must write this in English?? Whyyy.... my English is getting so bad (yep, i start almost all of my text with this  but i don't care)

So, anyway.. School is gonna start in 2 weeks ... I'll start the last year of secondary school (in Finland i've still 2 years to go..) nothing more about the school now. 

We went to the beach

I had a 2-week-camp that i told you, it finished one week ago. And it was aaaamazing <3 It was a camp of JuCUM = YWam= Missionuoret. "La escuela del verano" "The summer school" I made so much friends <3 there was like 35 of us, then an other week came 15 from USA (I was able to speak English <3 but... almost always i chose spanish... >.<) And all the time someone asked me to translate something from spanish to english... from english to spanish, from finnish to russian... Wait :D 

So what did we do? The main point was to get to know more God. We had usually clases at morning maybe 3 hours and then about at 6 pm 1 and 1/2 hour. Things like "the fear of God" "How to hear God's voice" and so on.. and it was amazing (: I learned so much. (The first thing that i learned was that i still have lot to learn.. no, i don't think that i'm a good christian anymore >.< haha)   

The best

  Then last 3 days we went to a village (of 800 people) (there were propably more horses than cars) (seriously) we talked with local people.. every evening we had a "church" thing (one night i preached o.O in English (i've never preached even in Finnish) about looking for God, one thing that God spoke me during the camp) and yeep.. things like that :) it was amazing! I was so sad when it was over.. after that i went to Trelew (a town nearby) to see people from the camp <3 miss you 

Los chicos, the boys
DO NOT ASK
please

And yeeaah dunno... i'll write more when i have something to tell :) (btw today is birthday of my host brother he turns 12 :) )

Tenia Chinchilla <3 que se llama Riepu = Trapo

 

De Fin...Eh? De donde?

Si, ya se. Nunca escuchaste de un pais que se llama Finlandia, no?

Primero... Finlandia esta en el Europe.

Si, en el invierno hace frio. 10-30 grados abajo del cero.. En el verano... 15-30 grados (cuando haga mas que 25... es mucho alla)

Y si, para Argentinos casi todos los finlandeses son rubios :D

En todo el pais hay solo 5 millones habitantes... Yo soy de capital, Helsinki. 500 000 habitantes.

Nunca escuchaste del Nokia? Es de Finlandia (hay tambien un pueblo que se llama Nokia) Angry birds? De Finlandia. Tal vez alguien conoce la banda Nightwish. De Finlandia.

 

Cerca de mi casa... del capital

Si, hay mar alla

Sobre el mar :)

En el invierno desde la ventana de mi casa

Y porque ella esta aca?

Es mi año de intercambio. Una empresa me busco la familia y la escuela... noop, nadie fue por alla. Llege a Argentina en el Julio y me voy en el Julio que viene.  Este año es para aprender idioma, conocer otra cultura....

Y bueeno, no se nada mas.. (:

La Navidad y el año nuevo

Can you imagine that I'm writing a new text now... the last one wrote only a few days ago...I'm pretty proud of my self ^^

So, i promised to tell you about Chistmas and the New Year (this text is gonna include 1000 typing mistakes and grammar mistakes and spanish versions of english words... hope you will understand :) )

La Navidad

 

 The Christmas felt so weird ...  no snow...  summer... but it wasn't too hot either.. like 20 degrees or something... So in the christmas eve we ate with the family .... pancakes, chicken and some meat thing... and we took  pictures and so on... at midnight everybody shouted "Feliz Navidad!" and we went to say this to neighbours... and i've never seen that many fireworks :) then we ate some sweets... Turrones and bonbones.. Later me and my sister went to boliche  with 2 other girls... it was so full of people... we could barely move... emmm.... the christmas days weren't so special... we ate what had been left over from the eve... (oh, and gifts... the family gave me one top and a mug with a text "Puerto Madryn" :) ) 
 







El año nuevo

The new year was the same as christmas without a meet thing, but with ice cream. and without the gifts and boliche :)

 

 


















 












 




After "las fiestas" we had one project in the church... one day i went to beach with my friends.. i've just spended time with people and so on :) (i'm propaby gonna start horse-back riding...show jumping or something :) )

besos
Heidi

Oh, and I'll leave from Argentina in the beginning of July, but i'll arrive to Finland in the augost (i've no idea any more how do you write that)... the world is waiting for me :D
