I'm home 4 months early

Kuva
Hi there again it's been a while but I hope you'll understand, at least after reading this text. I had to return home early but that was a decision neither me or my parents could've affected. What? When? Why? How?  So what happened?  Everything leads back to the coronavirus .  About a month ago everything was still quite normal in Chile but as you all know, the coronavirus started spreading very fast and before we even knew it, there was a lot of countries in which the amount of people with the contagion so high they decided to close the borders. It was around that time the first confirmed cases of the covid-19 aired in Chile. When the virus originally started spreading in China, many exchange students in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. got sent back home, so we knew that if the virus started spreading more, there could be a possibility of us being sent home if it got really bad at our host countries. Regardless, that felt really far away at that point, we e...

Eritttttäin hyvää huomenta ...Tai iltaa tai päivää tai iltapäivää, paljon kello nyt ikinä onkaan kun tätä lueskelet. Ajattelin taas vaihteeks tehä yhen blogipostauksen suomeksikin :D Lomalla Kuten oon täällä blogissa jo useesti maininnutkin niin oon tällähetkellä kesälomalla, ollut jo joulukuun alusta asti. Nyt lomalla on tullut tehtyä kaikenlaista, mutta lähinnä oon keskittynyt rentoutumiseen, en oo ottanut stressiä yhtään mistään, nyt vihdoin kun espanjan kielikin on kunnolla alkanu sujumaan. Tällä hetkellä fiilikset on aika hyvät, vaikka kyllä se koti-ikävä sieltä vähän pilkottaakin. Vaikka jo yli puolenvälin oonkin, tätä mun seikkailua on kuitenkin vielä about 5 kuukautta jäljellä.  Mitäs kaikkea sitä on sit tullu tehtyä? Käväsin tammikuun lopulla Santiagossa Fantasilandia -nimisessä huvipuistossa kavereiden kanssa, jossa sain auringonpistoksen ja aivan järkyttävän päänsäryn, mutta siitäkin selvittiin.  Lähes koko helmikuun oon ollu "yksin" kotona, kun mun is...

Vacation vibes

Kuva
Hi there!!  This is gonna be a long one so I hope you got time As you all know, now in January I took a bit of a break from writing to my blog. But there's a reason for that. In the first few weeks I wasn't really doing anything, so I had nothing to write about and for the past two weeks I've been busy vacationing and getting to know Chile a bit better. So here's some highlights from January ;) January 2020202020202020202020202020 Things that happened during January: I slept. On a trampoline. Outside. Which maybe wasn't that smart but we did it anyway with our friends. Although I was pretty much the only one who actually slept. For about three hours in bits but that's still something. For the rest of the day I was just taking naps because I was so tired lol. I played a lot of ultimate and a bit of basketball. I also had a basketball game where I - obviously - got my 5th foul in the fourth period and flew to the shower. Yes, we all thought th...

Christmas & 2020

Happy new year!! Currently still in 2019 as I am writing this but when I publish this in a few days we'll already be counting days for the end of the next year and decade. Lol hopefully not though. Christmas On Christmas eve I called back home to my family. There At my house, having christmas dinner was my mom, my dad, my sister and her boyfriend, my grandparents and my uncle's family, as in my cousins. I also called separately to my aunt and cousins who weren't there and wished them merry christmas. I've actually never seen a christmas dinner so big at my house, and of course just this year I wasn't invited :( ahaha no just kidding I had a great christmas dinner with my family here in Chile. The actual dinner was a bit different from the usual traditional Finnish christmas dinner but it was really good, and we spent pretty much the whole day preparing it and the cocktails that came before the dinner. After eating we opened presents. My mom and sister had sen...

December & the desert of Atacama

Hi there It's been a while. I don't really know why I ever decided to start writing a blog since I knew very well I would run out of motivation eventually. I thought by writing a blog I could get people in Finland (and elsewhere) informed on how and what am I doing here and that afterwards I wouldn't have a hundred persons asking me how am I actually doing. Oh boy was I wrong ahahaha keeping a blog has definitely scraped off a few of the extra questions but I still get a lot of q's about a lot of things, such as my weekly schedule and wellbeing. Oh and one of my friends still thinks that I'm in France.  Now that this unnecessary rant is over, I'm just gonna say that I'm not giving up on this blog thing, at least not yet. So here, have a quick summary of my December so far. December in a nutshell During December, I decorated the christmas tree, left my school for summer vacations, celebrated Finland's independence day, wrapped christmas prese...

Uniikkia itsenäisyyspäivää!! meitsillä kesäloma

Kuva
Today, on December 6th we celebrate the independency in Finland. In honor of the independence day I'm going to write this text in Finnish, so take in mind that if you are translating the text, the translations will not be accurate. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! Näin itsenäisyyspäivän kunniaks aattelin kirjata ylös jotain asioita Suomesta. Nää asiat saattaa olla jotain mitä ikävöin tai mitä oon alkanu Suomesta arvostaa ihan uudella tavalla täällä ollessani. En siis tosiaankaan vielä nyt kirjottaessani oo ihan kartalla et mitä tää tulee sisältään mut ehkä tää tästä vielä kokonaiseks tekstiks muodostuu. Tänään, 6.12.2019, kun itsenäinen Suomi täyttää 102 vuotta, mä oon maailman toisella puolella Chilessä. Itsenäisyyspäivään, ainakin meidän perheessä, kuuluu jonkinnäköisiä perinteitä. Tänä vuonna itsenäisyyspäivänä en siis pääse katsomaan linnan juhlia taikka tuntematonta sotilasta, paleltumaan iltapäiväkävelyllä kun en oo laittanut tarpeeksi vaatetta päälle, käymään isoisoäidin Gre...

November... is christmas really coming?

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...
