Vaihtariblogiko?

Hi hei hola hello again As you know, I   haven't been that productive here in my blog during November. Took a break from writing, tried to keep at least myself on the same page with me. The truth with it is that I've been dealing with a terrible tiredness (involving a few breakdowns) and I just haven't felt like writing. Trying to keep this blog as real as possible, without hiding any problems, so if you find that interesting, keep on reading. Now things are going a bit better than before and I thought I'd write something here quickly. Let's see how this evolves.  Are you even tired? As I said, I have been incredibly tired now during November. This would probably be normal if I was in Finland since Kaamosmasennus  is a real thing, and the lack of sunlight does actually affect you in ways you can't even imagine / remember before it starts to affect you, again .  But here in Chile  the sunlight is on a really  decent level so this just can't be about...

Happy Halloween! ..oops I'm late with the halloween thing Time for me to write some new stuff here :) There isn't much to tell from the past weeks EXCEPT there actually is since I realised that I haven't really been talking about what I've been doing here. (can you see my memory is not the best kind) Nevertheless I thought I'd make this one about my general feelings, kinda in honor of three months here in Chile, but I'll also make a quick summary (in a nonsense order) of what's been going on during October. Also as a side note, the situation in Chile has still not cleared entirely, and probably won't fully clear up anytime soon. The people are still demanding better human rights, there is a lot of marches and for example schools and stores have been functioning on a more limited schedule. Two international summits (APEC & COP25) scheduled to be organised in Chile in the next two months have been canceled due to the unstable state of the coun...

Mitä Chilessä tapahtuu just nyt? Tää blogiteksti tulee olemaan vähän erilainen. Kuten osa on varmaan jostain lukenutkin, Chilessä on aloitettu mellakoimaan, eikä pelkästään ihan pienellä mittakaavalla. Tässä postauksessa yritän selittää että mitä täällä oikein tapahtuu. Omat lähteeni ei välttämättä myöskään ole 100% luotettavia, lähinnä chileläisiltä kuultua ja sosiaalisessa mediassa useasti esiintynyttä tietoa. Tämän postauksen tarkoituksena ei myöskään ole rauhoitella ketään, vaan kertoa asiat niinkuin ne on. Medianäkyvyys tän asian osalta on jo valmiiksi aika vähäistä ja puutteellista / virheellistä, että tätä postausta ja / tai muuten tietoa tapahtuvasta saa vapaasti (ja mieluusti) jakaa.  Vietin siis itse viime viikonlopun Santiagossa orientaatioleirillä muiden vaihto-oppilaiden kanssa. Mä, ja muut vaihto-oppilaat ollaan kaikki turvassa. Itse tällä hetkellä omassa kotikaupungissa, jossa tapahtumat ei ole niin radikaaleja. Chilen pääkaupungissa Santiagossa alkoi siis ...

It has again been a while since my last blog posting oops.. But here I am again writing about my week since I can actually write about it without the text being just a stub :D Quality content (not) but here you have it, enjoy :) Last weekend we went to buy me the last pieces of my school uniform, and a pair of shoes to use with it. I'm not feeling that comfortable with the skirt yet but I guess that's just a minor downside that I'll have to (and I will) deal with. The skirts were a bit too big for me so we had to drop them off to some woman who will sew them to fit me better. Not waiting too anxiously for next Tuesday when I have to start using the uniform... but anyways! I did my first test here on Monday! It was obviously maths since I can't really understand that much of any other subjects yet (and so far we haven't had tests in English). The test was about second grade equations and inverse functions (probably had something else to it as well but I don'...

The week of Fiestas Patrias Ok so this past week I didn't have school, because of fiestas patrias. So during this week, we were all celebrating Chileanity and the independence of Chile. This meant a lot of dancing and even more food. Everywhere I have been now during september, I have seen Chilean flags. Literally everywhere. On our front yard, there is also a Finnish flag, which was a super nice thing to do, even though I didn't even ask for it. The national dance of Chile is Cueca which was danced everywhere in Chile during this week. I myself am a terrible dancer so it was kinda relieving for me to find out that in my school, unlike many other chilean schools, dancing cueca is not obligated. Instead I did get to ride a mechanical bull, play musical chairs and participate in tug of war. We even came the king and queen of sack race with Pedro! That's pretty much all I did on the last day of school before the break. In the friday evening we had the first roast o...

THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE IN FINNISH. Finnish is the enemy of all the translators so take that in mind if you are reading a translated version of this and it gives you some really weird sentences. Mitä mä oikee teen tääl? Ja muuta turhaa Aattelin nyt tänne kertoo vähä et mistä mun normi viikko koostuu pääasias, koska en nyt tiiä mistä muustakaa kirjottaisin. Herään jokasena kouluaamuna 6.30, ja syön aamupalaa joka on joka aamu kupillinen pikakahvia ja pala leipää juuston kans. Ei mulla siitä oikeestaan mitää valitettavaa oo, aika jees vaan saada aikaseks syötyy jotain. :D (tunnustan täs vaihees et suomessa ei oikeestaan koskaan tullu syötyy aamusin mitään) Mul on siis koulua maanantaista torstaihin 8.00-14.30, ja perjantaina 8.00-13.45, joka on aika sama mitä mul oli suomessa. toi on kuitenki semi harvinaista et päivät loppuu jo noin aikasin, useimmissa kouluissa tunnit loppuu joskus viiden tai jopa kuuden aikaan, ja niissä on keskellä päivää lounasbreikki millon voi käydä kot...

Have I actually been here in Chile for a  month  already?  First of all, oops skipped a week with this blog thing, sorry not sorry, probably gonna skip even more in the future. My brain just simply does not work. Also there's so much more I feel like I should tell about but my brain is just overlapping right now (it has been like this for too long lol I should do something about it) so I can't really form sentences that would make sense oops. I also want to get this out as soon as I can so I'll just probably leave it here. Maybe some day we're gonna hear about everything else as well. But for now you'll gonna have to settle with this. Enjoy (or don't, I don't really know) A month?? Feels like it's been maybe like a week or something.  I never really believed it, when ex-exchange students told that a year is actually a quite short amount of time and you don't necessarily have the time to do everything you want. But now that it has been a month ...
