Christmas!

So, Christmas was celebrated on the 24th mainly, we opened presents that night and Santa came to our house!

Water

We don't have any water until tomorrow, so we can't flush the toilets! Yay for peeing in the wilderness.

This Morning

This morning I was woken up by my host mom, sister, and littlest brother singing "Sankta Lucia" or some other spelling. It was cute, they dress up in white gowns and carry candles and sing a song :)

School

I really like going to school here, especially because I get to sleep in a LOT more than in the US, but my alarm clock is broken and I keep missing school! So, today I came to terms with the fact that it won't magically fix itself and I'm going to use my cell phone as an alarm clock so that I can start going to school again. ( I missed last Thursday from the same problem)

Hanna has started finding Finnish music for me to listen to. Finnish music usually isn't that much fun but there's one song that I really like, it's called Tytöt Tykkää and it has a beat, finally!

I'm slowly learning more Finnish, it's really fun to be able to understand more and more!
