Harsh holiday life

2009-12-18T09:18:05Z

Supposed to have my last appointment with shrink before xmas today, but my car wouldn't start, so here I am stuck at home :(
Think the engine warmer failed on me, hasn't done its job properly, and poor car just coughed and coughed until it gave up. Poooooooor Fiu :(
It kinda sucks, coz I was supposed to take a trip to grandma to collect some bottles she wants to get rid of, and also buy her flowers for xmas, and I guess I can go there by bus, but I don't know how withered any flowers would get if I had to walk them from the store, and I was supposed to take the bottles, because I have the car...
Somehow this is gonna be a looong day, my flight isn't till 1955!
Oh well, guess I have more time for Bleach then!

Ah, just spent this wonderful day on swedish homework, One Piece, knitting, two lovely gooseberry ciders and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Cried my eyes out in the end just because of the stupid freaking cat.

Yeehaw.

Lenge siden sist...

Nå har jeg vært flink og fylt ut skjema til helsesøster. Litt gøy å se vaksinasjonskortet mitt egentlig.
Bortsett fra det, BLÆ.

Men jeg har vært flink å gjort lekser også. Jeg greier faktisk nesten å skrive noe på svensk, tenk.
Bortsett fra det, BLÆ.

I går var jeg på 90-talssitz, det var litt bråkete, men det var jo gøy. Høydepunktet (bortsett fra all 90-tallsmusikken), var pacman-desserten :D Vet ikke helt om jeg gidder å være med på sitz igjen, vi får se hvilke tema som dukker opp...
Jeg har lyst på brus.
Også vil jeg sove, men jeg skal kanskje se CSI først...

That would be my throat!
I have a lovely little cold, type slimy throat and sore sinuses. w00p me.

Anyways, almost been a week in school now, and we somewhat started doing other things than just listening to info. We had this Creativity, cooperation and communication class, so first we had to stand in line chronologically. Then we got spit into 4 groups, and we had to tell each other our best summer memory, our worries/concerns about school, how our life looks in 5 years and what we expect from the study/student life. For this we needed 4 different coloured hats for us to wear while we talk about it (each hat representating each question). I impressed everyone with my awesome napkin tricks of course. When we were done doing this, she (that's the teacher) split the class in half, and we had to form a line georgraphically, without speaking. That was tricky. Especially since I have no idea where half those swedish-named places are, let alone where my deara norgie hometown is in realtion to them :D
Then there was the fun part, where we had to make an autumn song. We ended up borrowing a melody from Markoolio, since most of us knew it (me not being one of them), I and some other worked as beat boxes, and the guy in our group had the grand finale of a high pitched "Hösteeeeeeeeeeen!".

That certinaly was fun.

After this I had a long social lunch with 5 other girls, unfortunately, thanks to my cold, I really struggled hearing them in the cafeteria. But I think I did my social duty, maybe I didn't say much, but I listened intently. Go me.

Then we had our photos taken for the teachers to make a cheat sheet to learn our names, and a quick presentation of the schoo library. All in all a nice short day.

Right now I came from ballet, I decided taking the car, mostly because I'm not well, so I don't have to run around town or wait for the bus but jsut get straight home. Our new ballet teacher makes really nice lessons, nice mix of horrible ballet excercises that either messes up your muscles or your head trying to coordinate stuff, and of relaxing/stretching excercises. I think I'm getting better at driving too.
And now I can hear bed calling me, I think, it miiight be the Harry Potter book. Think I'll have to check it out.

Päivää!

2009-08-17T16:49:59Z

I talked to a parrot today!!
I finally went to Ansku's new place, we watched some saved TV shows before we had lunch at the local restaurant (very nice feta salad), and as we headed to the normal food store, I suggested we pop by the pet store next to it, just out of curiosity. And they had a parrot!! Like, a talking one. At first I couldn't quite believe it, but the note next to the cage told all about him, apparently his name is Roope, and is born in 64 (dude!) and got quite a vocabulary over time. Unfortunately it said he was part of the crew, and not for sale. Ansku tried to get him say something, but he obviously liked me, coz he kept saying Päivää! to me :D Over and over again. Also some less understandable sentences, some "normal" bird sounds, and that classic whistle. I really did get the feeling he liked me, coz she wanted to record his Päivää! on her phone, but he wouldn't say it (of course), but he'd say it right away if I came close :D We finally were able to rip away from him, and when we walked out, we heard him say Roope! too :)
OMG HE WAS SO CUTE I'M IN LOVE LOLZ

Anyways, I helped Ansku make makaronilaatikkoo when we got back from the store, then we watched some more TV shows and had ice cream. When her boyfriend came back from work he brought along pizza, and I'm still stuffed from that, although it's almost 5 hours ago, horribly thirsty though. They were heading for the doc's for a checkup on him, so I had to go home, and I didn't mind. Time to catch up on those honk-shuus I didn't get last night. Damned wind and rain wouldn't let me fall asleep for an hour, when I stopped reading and wanted to sleep, and woke me up about hour and half earlier than planned too.
Since the weather really cleared up and is now rather nice, I decided to take another car trip. I took the same lap as I did on Saturday, along those HORRIBLE up and down and turns here and there roads of Kakskerta. Think I have some semi-plan of driving through there, until I actually able to drive it nicely. My car scared me along the way too, it suddenly showed I had used like three-four "ticks" of my gas tank on just 10 minutes. Seems the meter was just confused though, coz it went back up to where it was when I started after a while. Still scared me for a while though, thought my tank had a hole or something horrible like that.
I went straight from my car lap to Skansi, to do some *cough*food*cough* shopping at the hypermarket (oooh so fancy :rolleyes: ) there. Made a really ugly parking that any woman would be proud of.
Now I'm back and washing clothes, trying to get to the bottom of my laundry before school starts. Wish me luck.
Shallow Hal is on TV tonight, thought I'd watch it, always halfway wanted to see it, so kinda ok.

Tomorrow I finally get rid of the stitches!! Although, I think that means my wrist is gonna hurt again, since it actually has to keep itself up by own muscles then...

That's all for now, and to be honest, that was a proper post, wasn't it?

Wrist band blues

2009-08-13T08:25:49Z

I'm sitting at my desk
With a hand out of use
Got stitches that are hidden
and I'm singing the wrist band blues
I am bored of this condition
I want this thing off me
I made my decision
Until I am free
I'll sing the wrist band blues
The wrist band blues
The wrist band blues....

Ow-eeeeeeee

Jeg er sulten

2009-06-16T06:36:39Z

I går kjørte jeg litt til og fra Bjørkelangen, som i grunn var ganske interessant. Det tok temmelig lang tid å bli vant til styringa og sånt, men så synes jeg det gikk bra til slutt. Men jeg hater rundkjøringer ><

Også sykla jeg 17 kilometer mens jeg så på Skjønnheten og udyret, og så gikk jeg i sauna, så det var deilig.

Og nå er jeg sulten for jeg har stått opp, men ikke spist frokost.

Også hadde jeg liksom så mye å skrive, men det var visst bare innbilning.

Nåja, en oppdatering er en oppdatering :D

Ok...?

2009-06-03T22:03:49Z

Vi så kengurukjøtt i butikken idag... :S

Sånn bortsett fra det, var jeg på opptaksprøve til andrevalget mitt idag, og det var skikkelig gøy. Vi var 25 stykker, hvorav 15 kommer inn, og det virka mye mer som første skole dag-bli kjent, enn opptaksprøve. Så hvis opptaksprøva til førstevalet mitt virket kjedelig og jeg får velge fritt, kan det hende jeg velger dette i stedet.

Nå nyter jeg en vel fortjent Malibu-cola. Nam.

Kt hilser til bloggen min.

Au au au

2009-05-22T06:46:03Z

Jeg slo øyebrynet mitt på en stol i går, da jeg skulle se hvor mange sokker hadde gjemt seg under sofaen. Det gjorde vondt sånn med det samme, men så gikk det over, og det er nesten kul der. Men idag, så gjør det vondt! Au!!!

Her går det framover, på mandag var det glattkjøring, på onsdag var siste teoritime og på tirsdag har jeg teoriprøve. Vi har fått passord til en nettside hvor vi kan øve på teoriprøve, og resultatene mine er veldig varierende, så jeg må nok øve masse mer. Men kjøringa går ihvertfall bra så lenge jeg ikke kjører ned gamle kjerringer...
Jeg fikk ikke jobben som jeg ikke søkte på heller, så da skal jeg til Norge til sommeren ^^ Da er det bare å få oppkjøring så fort som mulig.
Håper noen rekker å samle Lillestrøm-gjengen, også håper jeg vi rekker DUST, også håper jeg på et bbq-party jeg har hørt rykter om... ;)

På onsdag var jeg på prøvetime hos min kommende psyk utpå landet. Det må ha vært en gammel bondegård, for det var i et gammelt hus (det lukta gammelt), og i nærheten (skulle tro det var samme tomt) var det helt klart en låve (gammel trebygning) og kanskje en stall (gammel steinbygning). Og det var som sagt på lander, var masse jorder. Var en del bakker også, kunne nesten vært Norge :p

Jeg hadde liksom masse å skrive, men nå kommer jeg ikke på noe. Tror jeg skal ut på balkongen før det rekker å bli overskya.

Men altså, au au, øyebrynet mitt.

Oops, glemte tittel :D

2009-05-09T06:48:32Z

Nei, nå får jeg skrive litt.

Og vi tar det hulter til bulter :D

På torsdag var jeg på tur med femteklasse til Heinänokka, som like godt kunne vært Koivunokka, det var et leirsenter midt i en bjørkeskog. Jeg hadde med meg kamera så jeg fikk tatt masse bilder av de herlige og de ikke-fullt-så-herlige ungene^^ Jeg tok også bilder av svaner (det var 14 eller noe der) og sånne vanlige skjærgårdbilder og også et dårlig bilde av halen til en rev som løper sin vei :D Det var litt kaldt, for det blåste men sola skinte og jeg fikk være ute hele dagen.

På onsdag var høstens førsteklassinger på besøk på skolen. Jeg hadde skrevet navnelapper til dem fra navnelista, så jeg så at datra til skolepsykologen skulle starte, så jeg gleda meg til å se henne (både psykologe og datra :P), var nysgjerrig. Men jeg hadde ikke regna med at jeg kjente faren hennes også, for da de kom så stod pyskologen der med en kjempesøt liten jente og i andre hånda var hotellæreren min :O Ikke rart at jeg syntes han var en ålreit lærer :p Vi smilte og nikka, men jeg fikk ikke snakka med dem, for jeg skulle til legen klokka 1015. Så da sykla jeg dit. På venteværelset venta og venta jeg, da klokka var 1040, tror jeg, så åpna endelig døra jeg venta på og kallte noen andre enn meg. De sa de var ca halvtime bak skjema, som jeg syntes var litt rart, for i såfall skulle denne personen bare ha 5 minutter. Mens jeg satt og venta var det en gamling som hosta og harka og jeg trodde han snorka litt innimellom, men sympatisk som jeg er (og denne gangen med god unnskyldning, stedet stimer jo av leger!) overså jeg ham og så på TV, meget interessant, The young and restless, og Emmerdale :D Tilslutt var det en lege som spurte om han var ok, så da tok nysgjerrigheten over, og legen påpekte at det var noe rosa slim på golvet, og lurte på om han hadde spytta eller spydd, så han tørka munnen og det hadde han tydeligvis. Han følte seg visst ikke helt bra, og legen fant en båre så han kunne legge seg nedpå. Han visste hvilken dag og måned og år det var, men han hadde forferdelig lavt blodtrykk, og de sendte ham til førstehjelpen. Så var det min tur, og de sa det samme som sist, de hadde ikke fått MR bildene, men vi avtalte time til å operere bort styggingen i august.

I går fikk jeg bruke limpistol på skolen, det var veldig skummelt og spennende. Jeg fikk lime sammen noe leirearbeid som var knekt, og også lime på sikkerhetsnål på leirebrosjer de hadde laget som morsdagspresang. Hele 5-klase var under opphøring om noen stjålte sjokoladeegg (at det går an...), alle fikk skrive sin offisielle versjon av saken på ark. Jeg fikk også overvåke 4-klasses naturfagsprøve om fisk og sånt. Det var jo sånn halvveis interessant. Ganske mange elever fikk levert før jeg fant noen som visste hva soidin var, for det lurte jeg på. Rompetrollegga deres hadde blitt ganske store rompetroll og jeg så litt nærmere på dem, huff de var stygge :D Vondt lukta de også, de gjorde jo nesten ikke annet enn å bæsje...
Etter skolen dro jeg hjem og leste i sola på balkongen ahhhhh.
På kvelden dro jeg til byen for da skulle jeg på kino og se Trek :D Jeg henta billettene og shoppa litt rundt fram til det starta. Jeg kjøpte popcorn så jeg hadde noe å gjøre mens jeg venta, og det trengte jeg, fpr jeg var førstemann inn i salen *stolt* og det tok evigheter før reklamen starta. Filmen var interessant, men mer kan jeg ikke si om den :x
Etter det møtte jeg Rikhard for vi hadde avtalt at vi skulle feire bursdagen min også en gang siden vi feira hans. Vi labba ganske mye rundt først, for de fleste stedene var ganske stappa. Til slutt gikk vi på Monk, som var en jazzbar, for han hadde visst alltid vært nysgjerrig på den. Dørvakta var kul, for det stod i narikka at det var påbudt og legge fra seg vesker, men han husja oss bort og sa at vi vil vel ikke legge fra oss noe som helst :p Stedet var veldig lite og koselig og fullt av wannabe kunstnersjeler, og de hadde Karhu på krana <3 Vi ville sjekke ut litt flere stedet også, så jeg foreslo at vi kunne dra på Silvermoon som er en karaokebar, men visstnok skal ha 80- og 90-tallsmusikk når det ikke synges. Det var nesten sangere hele tiden, og de sang for det meste finske låter som jeg ikke kjente, men vi satt i nærheten av en TV og biljardbord, så vi så litt på de som prøvde seg på biljard og også på et premietåpelig program om folk som flytter hele hus fra et sted til et annet... Da vi ble lei av å høre på finsk karaoke tenkte vi vi skulle finne oss et annet sted å sjekke ut og vi labba rundt et par kvartaler igjen, men klokka begynte å nærme seg halv to og jeg tenkte at det kanskje var like greit å sette meg på bussen hjem. Rikhard kjøpte friterte reker på kinesisk fastfood på torget og jeg stjal et par (med lov) mens vi venta på bussen min. Fra bussen kom jeg jo på at jeg helt hadde glemt the Cow, dit måtte vi jo ha dratt (men så er det ganske dyrt da).

I dag høljer det, så i dag skal jeg spille civ med Miksu. Jeg må bare komme meg på butikken en eller annen gang, for det er vel stengt i morgen siden det er morsdag. Kanskje jeg burde gå nå, ser ut til å regne litt mindre... Men jeg tenker jeg ser litt mer Berryz og Cute konsert også kan jeg tenke på om jeg er våken nok til å gå ut. Blåser fælt gjør det og.

Brr.

This might take a little getting used to...

Yesterday I had my first out-of-town driving, we drove up old Valtatie 1 and all the way to Piikkiö and the highway back, so it was mostly 70/80 there and on the highway it's 120, but I settled at around 100, tried to practice keeping the speed constant. I didn't get tired or exhausted or anything, I actually enjoyed it. What's up with that?? If I wasn't a reliable witness I wouldn't believe I'm the same person who wouldn't go faster than 40 three years ago :P
Needless to point out, yesterday was also my birthday. Nothing too eventful happened, but at the end of the school day I was the "finishing line" for the 5ths who had a small forest run. So when the last 3 girls made it to the end I walked back with them getting the whooole report on what guys are cute, who likes who, who's texting who, how much and also my opinion of them, and so on. These girls (especially one of them) just never shuts up :D I think they like me though, confiding all these secrets to me, they DID tell me not to tell their teacher of course.
Today I've sneaked off work early to get home to clean, since I realised yesterday it was last chance to clean up before dad gets here, and I didn't finish it yesterday. So now it's fairly clean, but the sink is still kinda blocked so I won't finish the dishing (rinsing that is). Just having a little sit-down before I'll start panicking again about catching my train to Tampereeeeeeee

So that's about as much as I write.

Sixes and twos

2009-04-16T11:21:46Z

This week I started spending time with the 6ths, mostly 6A (I think..), but they had a joined lesson on Tuesday. We watched Robin Hood :D I asked what it was related to, and the teacher thought it was history. I haven't seen Robin Hood for like 15 years, so that was interesting...
And then I got to watch over 6A as they did some maths, which was also interesting as one of the boys has no interest doing what he's supposed to do and was reading a jokes book instead.
Yesterday 6A got to entertain me with some surprise finnish test, which the half class today had the joy of correcting before doing some preparation papers for their maths test. So I have been spending quite some time with these lovely kids, and they're not TOO bad really...
In addition to that I was on some sort of nature walk with 2B yesterday, which was nice, if not a bit cold. The nature walk lady had some bird song on her mobile phone and managed to get real birds to answer, so that was cute.
Today I got to teach and supervise 5ths boys' knitting :D There's something weirdly uplifting about watching boys knit... So I think I'm starting to get along rather well with 5th's boys, but the girls aren't quite there yet. Now if they'd only learn my name right (their teacher getting it right would prolly help alot..............dot.....) At the end of today I helped 2B out with some computer lesson, they were putting some stories they wrote into word. Someone (a wiseass from 6ths by teacher's guess) had turned the image on one computer 90 degrees left, so I tried fixing that. I somehow succeeded, I found the right settings in the graphics card's drives thingy, but it kept popping back 90 degrees when I went out of it and tried changing settings in windows.
Only spent a tiny bit with 2A so far this week. I got to supervise my ickle favourite doing a reading test and then correct it. Ahh.

Yesterday I had my third driving lesson, I got to drive in real streets this time! We (well I :p) practised turning in crossroads, doing the actual turning as well as getting used to who I have to watch out for. I only killed the engine twice, and I didn't even panic properly even though once was in the middle of the crossing :D

OK bored of typing now :p

aaand relax.

2009-04-09T14:08:19Z

Why did the vampire fold in the poker game?
Because the opponent raised the stakes!

Had my second driving lesson today. The Golf was going on service, so I got to ride an Alpha Romeo, very fancy. I thought it went much better than last time (not saying the first was bad), but I don't know if that was because of the car or because it was the next lesson. Anyways, that went well, and so I'm all energized.

Was last day for other trainee today, so everyone were very... sentimental *sob*
There was an easter happening with a priest and all for the students (they usually go to a church but it's under reconstructions), which was quite nice, but very cold.
I got to help 2A<3 make some more easter decoration collage thingies (wonder if they finished them...), and after lunch there was an easter obstacle track thing for the 1-2 graders. Which was much fun. I got to show them how do the chicken dance.
That was pretty much the whole day.

Noooooow it's huge long extra super 4 days easter vacation, w00p.

Happy... not yet!

2009-04-08T15:17:19Z

Yesterday I spent time with 2B for the first time. Being used to 2A, I thought this was a very quiet class, although with a few... interesting personas. They had one lesson with a specia teacher (no idea what that actually means), then they had music, where they practiced easter songs for tomorrow. After lunch, where I am teh food guard, making sure the lovely little kids wipe the food off the plate and put their trays in a proper stack, I oversaw 3 kids doing a maths test. The last tasks were horribly difficult, and I felt genuinely sorry for them, the teacher said they're supposed to be too hard for them...
After this I had PE with 3rds, they all love me, really. They jumped height?, and I was pretty much stunned about their results. I think the best I've done is about 45 cm, and here the best girl jumped 95 and the best boy a meter (although he could've easily gone higher). That was my last known doing for the day, so I retreated to teh teacher's room. I took a peek at what someone were doing in the room next to the teacher's room, and got really jealous. We never made nice little islands with a lighthouse, that actaully has a lamp on it!! Ah well.

Today I started off with 2A, together with the other trainee who quits tomorrow, so they were all overlyhuggy on her. One of the girls obviously were smarter and hugged me too ^^ Anyways, we crocheted, and since there is alot of sickness, many students were missing. They were supposed to be half class, but 4 girls and one boy doesn't quite make half. So it was good fun, since they were few enough to have attention from us at all times. They did mention again that "Oh noooooooo, she's leaving tomorrow :'(" to which the guy replied "Sheesh, don't be so negative" . That was great :D
Then I stayed for their next lesson, where the rest of the class arrived (apart from the ill ones obviously), and they did some reading out loud and I got to check their homework and then they did some writing on the blackboard.
LUNCH!!!
And then I lazed around in the teacher's room (which I don't mind after lunch really, it's the start and end of day that is boring:p), until I got to join 2A's PE. They had indoor hockey again, and one guy successfully bruised a girl's thumb, she couldn't move it very well and it looked kinda swollen and blue, so she got a nice bandage for it at the nurse's. Apart from that it was rather uneventful, only one goal.
Finally I crocheted with the other half, and they gave these cards they had made to the trainee who's quitting, and did a huge group hug.

All in all a really good day, seen as I could spend it all with my favourites :D Too bad 8 of them were missing :sob:

humpty-dumpty-dum.

Weeeeeeeeeeee

2009-04-04T09:33:44Z

I has a bike!! A lovely red Montana Voyager ;)

Let's see, yesterday...

Me and the other trainee cleaned up some cupboards/closets/thingies, which were full of glue, colour pencils, scissors etc, and notepads.
Then I can't remember at all how I got a whole day out of it, but I did spend some time with my lovelies, making uh sticks to go around houses during easter begging for candy (basically Halloween, but it's related to easter here, and there are no tricks, just treats, kids dressed up as witches and the sticks). At the end of the day I got to watch over 5th (oh joy), and also 2 6th that were doing a test. 5th being, well, 5th, the lesson was most noisy and testing our limits (the other trainee was with me at the beginning), when they finally went to their swimming class, the 6th got their peace and quiet to do their tests, but they weren't really any better than the 5th and once they were done they were most restless and devious. I wasn't allowed to let them go early.
I walked into town (lovely lovely lovely sunny weather, +11 on the marketplace had to strip my jacket!) and sorted my insurance mess. Then I did some wonderful shopping, getting nothing but food items, washing liquid (guess that's the name, since it's not powder) and cider.
I came home and started a make-shift lasagne consisting of macaroni, my favourite Pirkka grilled vegetables, some tomato crush, goat cheese and pizza cheese. It tasted lovely in the end. I'm sure I had a nap at some point then just hung around skype and knitted while waiting for it to be late enoughg for cider. That would be 2100 when that crappy Without a trace series is on. This time some student in a prison school went missing... Before I even got to open the cider (since I was finishing my round of knitting) Rikhard txtd me asking if I wanted to check out the renewed Forte (that's a night club), I figured since it's his birthday, and I DID ask if he was gonna celebrate (which he said he wouldn't coz he had to study) I said yes. I had my cider and went out with the 2150 bus.
We got free drink coupons at the door, so I started off with a vodka-battery so I wouldn't fall asleep immediately. The place was rather empty (since it opens at 22) and we just sat around beign annoyed that the other part of the place doesn't open till 23 :p We got our second drinks (Bear ftw) before we finally got to check out the other side, which was supposed to be rock/heavy. They had some bands I didn't know, but also some NIghtwish and Metallica (they were showing vids, so that was interesting). Around midnight they played ABBA's man after midnight (I figured, I felt proud:P) and went on with I will survive and I realised they were only doing heavy for an hour, then it turns into 80s parade. I deffo can't complain though. We had some more drinks and shuffled around on seatings, played some Blackjack (lost €4) Rikhard kept asking me to ask al the girls if they were hookers or lesbians and the guys if they're gay. I didn't.
At the end of the day, well night, RIkhard wanted to dance and having finished my cider I let him drag me to the floor since it was his bday and all. They played Girls, girls, girls and I jumped around a bit doing my sillly dance :D Then he decided it was time to leave and go on a pizza raid. On our way out we discovered a gaming automat, which had Texas hold'em <3 Rikhard having the tolerance of alcohol as he has, he wouldn't listen to me and he doesn't understand the game. Guess my frustration when he folded having 2 aces...
Anyways, we had a pizza, then we went to my bus stop. He decided to find out where this one bar place where someone he knows assumedly was and I went home.

And here I am, one bike richer, and oh so happy. The perfection would be if it was actually sunny, btu it's not, it's raining ever so slightly, but that's still nice since it's not snow :D

Schtuff

2009-03-31T13:25:11Z

I have now applied, w00t! That's one stress less for me (once I remember to send my grades off that is...)

Today, I thought I'd get to go to the land hockey tournie with the 5th years, but no, they only needed one assistant. So I got the lovely task of moving dried clay sheep into the clay oven. Then I sat around trying to figure out a nice Mother's Day present 2A can make, since the crochet project they're doing won't finish in time.
Then I went with the headmaaaster and his class to teh computer room, coz they were writing some story. He showed me all these fancy things on the teacher's computer. Then, since one of the students didn't finish his story, I stayed with him in the comp room after lunch. I spent the time deleting old files from the computers' My documents (headmaaaster had told me I could do that if I found the time), then played an educational game on french vocabulary (I need alot more practice, that went horribly).
Then I had some time off again, where I played spider spolitaire.
When the 5th's teacher got back from the tournament, she gave me a huge copy task of copying was it 39? individual pages. When I had two pages left some other teacher came and told me I don't have to close the lid between each.......
Then I finished off some more easter chicks with 2A <3<3

Of course by now I've forgot all I did last week, but yesterday some golf guy came to school so the 3rds had small golf excercises in PE, they totally pwned me, since I unfortunately tried... And I also had a lesson alone with half of 5th, physics, they used way less time than their teacher had planned on the tasks they/we were given, but they seemed to know what to do themselves so I let them do that, since it was quiet anyway.

And now, grand news: I was on a cat show on Saturday! I took 311 pictures, deleted down to 266 and had around 20 good ones! w00p

kitties kitties kitties kitties kitties

I'm now very manic and sunny and funny and wee and yey and woop and hey and so on

He(?)'s digging it!

aka Grrrrrrrreat!

Sun is shining aso aso aso

Today, I made some slightly more advanced easter chicks with the 5th graders, and I also made an easter bunny. And after lunch I got to stay with 2A rest of the day <3
We first had PE, where they played something called wall ball, which I've never heard of before, but it was interesting enough, then we watched an oooooooooooold video about how rodents survive the winter. I laughed at the point where they showed some cute bunnies (it was a children's ed show after all) and said they can't survive in our environment without human care! After this we continued the easter chicks, two more students finished their initial fluffball, I have no idea how they're going to make chicks out of it, but I'm sure they'll be nice. I'm really starting to get the hang of their names by now. *proud*
On a worse note, there's alot of sickness going around, the other trainees already been hit, it's only natural to assume I'm the next target. Was feeling a bit dizzy before lunch, so hope I'll be fine.

Aaaaand back to sun high. It's sunny outside, the snow is melting! I'm happy! Sun sun sun sun sun sun sun (honest, the chocolate I'm still trying to get rid of has nothing to do with it..... )

Wea the ruck?

My week started off really bad with all this snow and all, but today it's been really sunny and I've been feeling very social. Only had one lesson with 2A before heading off with the 5th graders to their indoor hocket tournament, which took up most of the day, and was rather interesting. Their team had really good teamwork, and won 11-0 against Katariina and 8-3 against Vasaramäki! Yey go us! Unfortunately I couldn't be as proud of the part of the class who was in the crowd cheering. Well, I guess they're just that age (I KNOW actually...). Also got a bit sad because it seemed one of them is a cutter, she had really bad looking scrapes on her thighs, and I can't think of how she'd get them other than intentionally. But then when we were walking abck to the bus stop it was nice and sunny and I got in a good mood again, and when I got back to the school I got to help out with easter chicks again with 2A, gotta love them. Ahhh.

Yesterday I.... also spent with 2A.... can't rememebr what I did, but I think we started the easter chicks, and I also took some people out in the hall to read aloud for me, and they had maths and things. Also had one PE lesson with 3rd, they played basket with a really cute small ball :P

But yeah, a moment ago the sun was shining and it was snowing frantically. I am confused...

Day 4?

2009-03-23T14:57:07Z

Losing count already!!

Now, what did I do today? Apart from feeling really crap, and brooding about the snow....

We practiced abit making easter chicks and bunnies with teh other trainee, then I watched the 4th graders do some maths, while the men had coffee and cookies and things (no idea what that was).
I arranged some papers for a teacher, and just looked at random books I found. Then after lunch I was with the 2nd graders again, making sure they do what they're supposed to do until the teacher got back from lunch. Then I printed and copied some stuff from the net, some nature stuff for kids, observe nature come to life in the spring etc... I helped them slightly with crocheting again, then I got one of the boys to do a reading/writing test, which was funny, since I'd not be able to get it all right myself :P
In the end I helped out slightly with some symmetrical axes in maths, while trying to untangle some yarn.

Then I just sat around for an hour wanting to go home because my headache was getting really bad. Played two spider soltiaires to pass the time... Finally got to nap when I got back home, I slept through the first alarm on my phone, and now I've eaten and still have a horrible headache and wondering wether or not to go to orchestra >< I know I should... as always, but just seems so much more tempting to lie on the sofa all night >< Ah well, got an hour to decide, at least I can take it easy until then.

Weekend!

Day 2:
First off I followed one of the other trainees to textiles class, where 5th graders were making animal pillows. As I have no idea how sowing/sewing machines work, I wasn't really much use, but I cut up some pieces for something they'd need later obviously, and I also cleaned up some drawers abit.
After lunch I had an hour free (ahhhhhh), before doing my first alone-with-a-whole-class for the 3rd graders whose teacher had some evaluation conversation or something. Since they had been talking about churches in history or religion or whatever, the task for the lesson was to draw churches, inside and outside. I had been warned about the class being rather energetic, and I did have to remind them a few times to talk less and draw more. One of the girls were rather distressed because she wanted to draw an angel in her church window, but all angels are boys and she wanted to draw a girl angel! And also they all seemed to ahve fun laughing at the morbid kids who spent most of the time drawing the graveyard... Two of the girls on the back row kept bickering and I asked them to move further apart a few times and some guys just woudn't stay put. Overall a good experience.
When they all seemed to finish their drawing, I had no idea what they could continue doing, so I tried to tell them to read (they seem to have a backup book plan in this school), but most were too restless, apart frm this one guy who just seemed too old for his age, he kept making really dry comments :D So then I told them to draw something else (it was drawing class after all). I also dropped the exciting bomb that I'm norwegian, and that made them ask me loads of questions, mostly what whichever word is in norwegian, they were also smart enough to compare to English *proud*
Some of the girls started drawing me pictures (they love me!!) and one of the guys drew me a car, saying it was made of meat, since he'd written Pirkka on it (food brand over here), and I said I was a vegetarian. No problem! He drew me a magician who'd change the car into carrot, and he also wrote me a recipe (yoghurt with banana and strawberries it seems).
The competition is getting hard between 2nd and 3rd for favourite class ;)

Day 3:
Today I got to start off the day with some real excercise, carrying the tables back to the lunchroom, as the 6 graders had arranged a disco there yesterday night. So that wasn't all that great for my wrist, and not for my right arm that seems to have got a bruise, but at least it was some muscle power!!! *armstrong*
Then I got to do a yard watch in the break, which was easy enough, in the middle of it I escorted a first yearer (I think) to the nurse, coz he had bruised his upper lip, there had been some scuffle or accident involving a huge rock which seems to be very fun to jump up and down from. However there was a queue at the nurse's, a girl seemed to have successfulyl sewn her finger...
After lunch I got to watch the 2nd graders again until their teacher came back from lunch. They were doing some mirror images excercises, having to decrypt names and sentences etc. I got to stay with them after the teacher got back too. Seems the mirror images was maths, and they continued with similar excercises from their book. After the break, they got to have fun with tangrams (I think it was called), basically glue a square black paper onto black paperboard, and then cut along the lines and get traingles and squares and then make up images from putting them together. In the end they got to glue an image to a white paper and they were put on the wall (well, window really) in the hall. I mostly spent the time reminding one guy to sit the right way around on his seat and urging an other guy to do his task (the same one I challenged to crochet). His favourite word(s in Finnish) seems to be whatever.

At the end of the day, I got to observe a tin pan lesson with some of the "special" kids, which was awesome, I never really seen tin pans before and had no idea how they worked, and considering they played really well :D I think it did *cough* wonders for my headache though.

Ahhh anyways, having my first proper weekend for ages, and looking forward to Monday. I also think I secured the Friday lessons with 2nd grade, and even if I didn't, I get to see alot of them, coz I know I secured the after lunch watch :)

Day 1

2009-03-18T16:26:22Z

Day 1 at scary elementary school has passed and I'm still alive!

I was happy to find I got to spend the whole day with 2nd graders, they're not that big and scary. It started off with half a class trying to crochet some oven cloths for mother's day presents. Which of course was piece of cake for me.
I also enjoyed helping out one of the boys as he was complaining he was so tired because the boring cat had woke him up, which to I replied that cats aren't boring and he said it has a throat fault and sounds like a frog! So the nice talk abotu cats made me smiiiileeee.
Then I had a free lesson so one of the other trainees showed me around until lunch. After lunch I listened to a girl read a chapter of a book for me. It was chapter 4 so I have no idea about the story but it seemed some boy had a miniature creature living in his pencase. In this chapter his classm8s stole the pencase...
Next up was PE, which apaprently was first time inside for a long time, they warmed up together with the 1st graders, before deviding the hall in two. Dunno what the others did but we had some bandy, the green team mostly spent their time arguing about who was gonna keep the goal and how it's supposed to be kept...
Then it was the other half's turn to crochet and I gave up tryign to teach one boy, it seemed he didn't quite understand the gist of it, so I tried to get another to concentrate a bit more on his work. He didn't seem to like it much, so I tricked him by doing three for him then telling him to do one, and when that went well I told him to do another. Now, he wouldn't fall for THAT obviously, so I said I challenged him, that worked ;)

And that was the last lesson and I hanged around in teacher's room until the other trainee said it's time to head home then, since there's nothing to do.
All in all a good day, and if it continues like this, it'll be a wonderful spring :)

Unexpected turn of events

2009-03-17T16:56:37Z

So I had a nice week and abit with visit from Kt and exex T, there was alot of watchign movies, alot of pigging out and some guitar hero (which I totally pwned at).
Kt being my best friend, we also had a man to man talk about how bad his relationship is, never getting to see her and basically he deserves better, their relationship never seemed mutual. Then he said he would drop her, if he could have me instead, which was completely unexpected. Having then spent the whole night trying to clear up my mind after it all, I decided I could give it a try. My main reason for never considering it has been the age thing, and it really is a pretty crappy one, no?
This was obviously unexpected number 1, but then it continues:
My parents are completely against this idea! I guess I'm too used to having their support, they never really complained about anything like this before...

Since I have to go to ballet soon, I'll keep it short, so just a few words on general update:
I start my practice helpign teacher job thing tomorrow. EEEEEEEEEK!!!

Music!

2009-03-02T11:13:28Z

My iPod died last week, so today I bought this cute little Creative Zen Stone Plus thingy. It's charging atm, and I'll test run it on my way to orchestra today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee.
Now my only concern is it'll get lost somewhere, since it's so small :p
Also interested to hear the sound, I heard rumours the sound is better than iPod??

I also called a headmaster of some school today, and I'll meet them tomorrow and see about that placement, he said two of those who's been placementing there are quittingn in start of April, so I'm hoping that means I don't have to start until then :S

Sooo mum was here for 10ish days, and we had fun I guess, I just slept really badly, and I get really frustrated of how difficult everyhting has to be at grandma's... Guess I'm stressed.

On Friday Kt is coming over, and that means movies, pizza and alcohol, w00t. And then on Saturday Exex T is joining us, so that means more movies, pizza and alcohol! :p Think we'll go watch watchmen in the cinema too at some point, it looks like it's worth the ticket.
Gonna be weird to see exex again, but I'm sure we'll be fine, and if not, Kt is here to make sure I am anyway :p

Now I'm just gonna finish destruct-o-match, then I think I'll see about Fullmetal Alchemist :D

Kitty day

2009-02-17T21:26:06Z

I started the day with watching a lurvely kitty video.
Then I visited Jenna at her new apartment and played with her lovely small big bellied cat. She's really funny.
Then I've just talked about cats all day.
This is surely a kitty day.

Meow meow meow

(ok so I hadn't updated for ages, but this surely wasn't much better xD)

School's out

2009-01-29T22:30:05Z

OK, that was last day of school. Passed without too much extraordinary. Now there's just appointments to keep. Then hopefully I'll start something new after summer.
Now I can put all my effort on ~~xbox~~ languages, and health! And some knitting and webcomic of course. Orchestra, ballet. Driver's license!!

I can do it!
