A Bit Overdue

Yes it IS the 27th of April. Yes I did say I was going to make a video blog. Yes that isn't as realistic as I originally thought. And yes, this is exceedingly overdue... bout' three months overdue actually, BUT you know what? I'm gonna have a go at this blog thing.
I suck at writing.
This is going to be potentially boring and lame.
You do not need to read this.

Ok. We cool?

I'm not going to start at the beginning, because the beginning was such a long time ago. I'm just going to start with today. :)
Today.
Today was potentially up on the list of 'Best Days of Hayley's Life'.
 The sleep in was glorious.
The extemporary breakfast of bread with feta cheese and olives was glorious.
The bike ride was glorious.
School lunch was fairly disappointing to be honest, pea soup with a banana and bread and cheese, but Ohio and Kiwi made it fun.
The international festival at the library was quite lovely, free food from different countries. Count me in!
The bus ride to from Raisio to Turku was glorious, and I actually learnt something in Finnish class, but topping all that perpetual gloriousness, sitting in the sunshine on the grassy bank of the river was on another scale.
I have just realised that I actually got sunburnt on my cheeks. Sunburn in Finland. Such an ironic statement. All the fuss that Finnish people make about their Summer and Spring make so much sense now. The shocking thing is that just three weeks ago, everything was covered in snow. There are still a few minor patches of icy and dirty snow here and there if you look hard, but really, with the days reaching over +15 degrees Winter is long gone. Life is coming back to not only the plants and animals, but also to the people. People are out and about, happy and far friendlier than they where when I arrived here in January. But it is only Spring, there's more to come. Everyone here is thinking of Kesä. Kesä and Vappu.

Easter was just last weekend, but now the celebration of Vappu, 'May Day' is approaching. Actually, it's celebrated on the eve of May first, this Saturday, and continues on to Sunday. According to most of my Finnish sources, the purpose of Vappu is to get drunk. To be honest, that's a fairly common objective in Finnish celebrations though. You can read about this festival here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night apparently it's a common festival here in Europe, so yeah.
Something to look forward to this weekend ;D

Well Vappu was an unintentional detour. ANYWAY. Back to my marvelous day. The beautiful weather, and peaceful conversations on the riverside were heavenly. But then people started disappearing off to their own affairs, so me and Kiwi did some shopping and I finally bought some sunglasses. They make Summer seems so near! They're also really good because now I can stare at the interesting fashions of Finland without being so obvious :P And that is another topic for another day.
Whilst we dawdled in H&M I got a phone call. From the Library. First thought that entered my mind was "Shit. I have an overdue book." but it turns out I won something. Yes. I WON something. Something like a T-Shirt and a USB. I never win anything! Hayley Whitehead NEVER wins anything. I was grinning from ear to ear and that's a strange thing to see in a Finnish H&M. When we were at the international festival early that morning I had filled out a simple form whilst waiting in line to try some Indian food. At that point I had literally no idea what the form was for, but the girls in front of me had filled one out so I copied them... Haha. I'm so cool. Gotta pick my prize up tomorrow, I hope the t-shirt is nice :D

I don't know what I'm writing.
In conclusion, I had a good day. I'm a happy girl.
I think I need to work on my writing skills XD
