Au revoir 2011

2011 

A year of many changes for me. I've done a lot of different stuff. I've made mistakes and made a fool of myself, but I've also done things I've never thought I'd do. It's a meaningful year for me. I left one world behind me and opened a lot of new doors. I don't know how to do a list what I've done. There's so many things. I don't remember all what I've done. I was in Austria with my family and I finished the 1st year of Upper Secondary School. I also worked June-July. In August I saw my friends and my relatives. I enjoyed my last weeks in Finland. I panicked over packing my bags and saying goodbye.

The biggest change was in August when I moved to France. In the beginning the hardest thing was to understand and to get myself understood. There were so many new things. A new house, family, school, environment and new ways of doing things. The first month I was extremely tired. It takes a whole lot of power to live in a country where you don't understand too much of the language. Bit by bit my French has improved. These 4 months here have passed by so fast. September, October, November, December. All finished. 4 months. It's a hell lot of time, but at the same time so short. In 4 months I've learned a lot of French. I understand nearly everything. I can speak fluently, I still have my finnish accent. I've learned the french school system. And I'm extremely proud of myself. I've left my comfort zone to a whole new world. I had never believed that I have the best grade in my class. My average grade is 13,5/20. That's unbelievable, but it's true. In the beginning it was so hard to imagine that I'll speak fluently at Christmas. But it's also true. I CAN SPEAK FRENCH! I reached a part of my goal of this year:)

 I had to say goodbye to my lovely friends and my dearest family. It was sad, seeing my sister burst into tears at the airport. It's the last time I saw my family "live". It's 4 months ago. It's a lot of time. And the next time I'll see them in real life it's in June. And my crazy friends who I love. I've seen them the day before I left to France. I said goodbye in school. I can't wait to see them all and speak face to face and just be myself in front of them. I want to spend time with them and just hang out. Yea skype is invented, but it's not the same thing. One of the hard things to overcome in November and December 2011 for me is missing my nearest and dearest. It hurts to read old textmessages. I was dying in laughter but then I was almost chopped in two pieces because I started missing my friends.  I'm extremely afraid of loosing all of them. They all mean too much to me<3 Mes poules!

In 2011 I've overcome obstacles and done things I'm proud of. I'm proud I've done this.

2011 was a good year. 2012 is going to be at least as cool as 2011!

As I say in Swedis: Nu är det bara att tuta och köra!


Bisous à tous!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! BONNE ANNÉE! GOTT NYTT ÅR! HYVÄÄ UUTTA VUOTTA!

Les Vacances!

Finally! Now it's time to chill out and forget all worries! (I really should do that...) Tomorrow I'll be in Paris! And I'll stay there until the 26th! Hope there's a internet connection so I could skype with my family and keep you updated! Everybody has told me that Paris is really beautiful now. (Christmas lights etc!)

I think November and December are the most difficult months for an exchanger. The weather isn't too nice and it's dark and life here is just normal. There aren't that many new exiting things anymore. And then it's Christmas. It's a event which you spend with your family. It's usual to start missing your own family now. In fact I miss my family so much more now than in the beginning. The first month it feels like you're on holiday. Of course the language and struggling with it is tough. But as they say here: "T'inquiéte pas!Ça va venir!" It's so true! Now I speak fluently, with an accent thou("T'as un accent, toi!"). I can explain different things and I understand almost everything what people say to me. If I don't know what a word means I ask. Tip for exchangers: Ask if you don't understand. Ask for explanation. There's no dumb  questions! I've learned plenty of words by playing Pictionary!

I've been a bit stressed and worried. It's totally normal, but it's not very agreable to stress and worry. So now I promise to myself to worry less and just relax and enjoy! The week in Paris will be so good for my nerves!

If you have some questions feel free to ask!

Enfin! Les vacances! Le temps pour se reposer et oublier tout les inquiéts! Demain je paritrai à Paris avec ma famille d'accueil! On reste là jusqu'au le 26.12. J'espere il y a un connection intenet pour pouvoir parler via skype avec ma famille! Je vais aussi mettre des nouveaux messages ici! J'ai entendu que Paris est belle pendant le Noël!


À mon avis Novembre et Décembre sont les mois le plus difficile pour un(e) correspondant(e). Le temps n'est pas trop beau, il fait noir et gris... Et en plus il n'y a pas autant de nouvelles choses. Le Noël est difficile. Normalement je passe le noël avec ma famille. Ils me manquent beaucoup! Enfait le prémier mois est comme un voyage pendant les vacances. Maintenant ma vie est tout a faire normale. Les problemes avec la langue sont vachement fatiguantes. Mais après 3,5 mois je peux parler mieux, donc avec un accent! Je comprends presque tout et si je comprends pas je demande. J'ai appris des nouveaux mots en jouent Pictionary!! Pas mal!


J'ai été stréssée et je me suis inquiétée trop. Maintenant je vais me reposer et penser aux autres choses! La semaine à Paris va faire du bien!


Si vous avez des questions, demandez! 


Grosses Bisous pour tout le monde! 

Quoi de neuf?

Bonsoir! Comment-allez vous?

Life goes on as usual. In fact I've got a lot to say but don't know how to put them into words.

 LONDON. How cool does it sound? Like supermegaassum cool! (The views and accent<3 PURE LOVE) In the beginning of the year all of my teachers said that it was going to be ok for me to follow. But yea. That wasn't quite true. About 3 weeks ago my English teacher dropped a bomb. "I'm really sorry to tell you this but there's not enough place. And cause you are already on a school/language trip you're not the prio one." What does that mean?? It means that I can't go. Neither can the other exchanger on my class. She continued: "Don't worry, I'm quite positive about one fact. We are going to get a bigger bus" Yeah. okay. That still left hope. No we have a bus with two more places. That will say we have a bus for 58 persons. Today came the final bomb (after delays and delays....). There's ONE seat. ONE! But we're three (at least...) who want it. (SO BADLY) but the problem is that I'm on the last place of having it (the same for the other exchanger). AARRGHHHJSDÖGMDMG :< I'm sad. The hope is kinda dead right now. I know the teacher will do everything she can but still it bugs me that it's like this. Moaaan! I'll tell you when I'm sure about the situation but still. Fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuck as my friend Julia once said it.

Not to make this post totally "angst life sucks" I put some pics of my lovely friends from school! And just some other stuff that I've taken in school

En français: LONDRES? Trop cool. Mais je suis malheureuse. Si vous voulez savoir plus utilisez google traductor. Je suis trop fainéante pour traduire ajourd'hui. En court: je ne peux pas aller à Londres avec ma classe. Il n'y a pas assez de place et quand je suis déjà par exchange ici je ne suis pas prio. Ça m'enerve. VACHEMENT! 


Je ne veux pas que ce "post" est tout depressive je mets des photos de mes amis à l'école! Vous êtes sympas! Je ne sais pas quoi à faire sans vous! :) Il y a aussi des photos d'autre choses!

De la norriture. Je ne sais pas pourquoi tout le gens ici disent c'est dégueulasse. Je trouve c'est mieux qu'en Finlande!

Quelle consetration!

Grosses bisous!

Public humiliation and Bruno Mars.

So yesterday it happened. I saw Bruno Mars. He was awesome. My "health" wasn't. I'll tell you the whole story. I hadn't my camera with me so a live video from youtube is enough.

I arrive in front of Le Zénith Nantes at 17.00. I waited for 2 freezing hours to get in. At last at 19.05 they open the doors. I got in and fine this really good place in front of the scene. It was on the left side, but I saw perfectly to the scene. Then I start feeling really ill. Then it comes. I throw up (not in the middle of the croud...) I decide to rest the warm up performance. I go to the side. But I wasn't still quite well. Coca cola doesn't help. Then it comes again. This time the "croix blanche"-personnel help me to the infirmary. There I get a piller and water. I was scared and felt really lonely. I lost my awesome front row place, but I think I saw enough were I was when Bruno Mars performed. I did enjoy the consert, but not in the way I'd would have done with a friend and not feeling ill. It was good yes, but that insidence draws the awesomness down. It could have felt and been so much better. It makes me really sad. This is my miserable story. Next time I take a friend with me. Hope this is true: "Kolmas kerta toden sanoo" it's in Finnish. This was my second consert. And I hope the third consert is better. If it isn't I'm not a consert person.




Bruno Mars did a encore like this but instead of Somewhere in Brooklyn he sang a bit of Lighters (Eminem ft. Bruno Mars)

Bisous// Frida

Il y a une chose que je voudrais dire!

Mes amis sont les meilleurs! Merci beacoup :)

Eh. Mixed thoughts!

Exactement 2 mois! I can't believe this. So close yet so far away!

BTW! Paris, je t'aime!

They can't make their minds up

Explorius has changed the departure date TWICE within a week. First it was 25.8. Then a few days ago I got a mail :" The departure date has changed. It's 23rd of August" And today I got the final date : 26th August.

I've written a mail for my famille d'accueil but my mail sais that the address is wrong :/ I think I'll call or send a mail to Explorius soon.

// Une fille trés fatigue

Je suis trés heureuse!

Salut le blog! I'm sooooo stoked!! I got my placement info todayyyyyy :> Today I thought like this: Pleeease. I want to know where I'm goiing to spend 10 months of my life. Duh. No letter. No placement info. :< *opens the computer and e-mail* *GOES CRAAAAZY* OMG! I got the infooooo! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY :)))))) 


It's totally impossible to describe the feeling. It was just so <3


That was a bit of my emotions today. I've been smiling like a fool since that xD

Then about the family :)

I'm going to live in a village called Malville. It is 30 km from Nantes and 30 km from the coast. I have 10 km to the school, but I'll take the bus!

My host mom is a secretary, but isn't working. My host dad works as a senior executive.  Then I got a host bro who is 33 years old. And a host sis who is 30. But neither of them are living at home. I also have a 14-year-old host sis :) That's niice:)) There's plenty of animals also. A dog, cats, goats and sheep :D Yaay? Kinda:DD

The family seems so nice! I just have to write them a e-mail. But I don't know what to write. And it would be so much easier to write and express myself in English. But hey, I'm going to France. So I'll just have to keep practising on my French :)

Bisoussss :p

Tonight when I biked home (with my helmet on) from Jasmin's place some teenagers shouted to me "Nice potty!". Then I heard one of the guys saying "IT has different coloured shoes". The rest of the way home I was thinking what I could have said to them. Then it hit me! "Maybe I seem different, I am. But I am also UNIQUE and so freaking proud of it!" 

This is me. I'm proud to be the person I am. You should also be!
