Heissanheissan everybody :)
I've been pretty busy (and lazy) and I haven't got time to update my blog for a while... A lot of things have been going on... Like PROM, Mother's Day, Graduation .... Okay I'm getting too old to even remember everything! And btw I'm gonna have two suitcases but the one sounds better... :D
But hmm idk where to start :D Well at least a week after Easter (when I wrote last time) Megan and I had a little Ethics competition at Northern Illinois University. And we did pretty well! It was a state wide competition and we had to prepare a powerpoint presentation based on a case. The case was about a student who had an internship and the company wanted him to do something that he considered as unethical... :D And we had to give a solution for him that what he should do and what effects it would have.. :D After all we did pretty well, we got third place :)
Then well prom started to get closer... And I was pretty much freaking out about EVERYTHING! Eventually the night before prom I just wanted to cry and just get done with prom and I ended up going to bed like at 9.30 pm. VERY unusual for me! But well I got my nails and my eyebrows done before that and then on Saturday morning I just needed to get up and make my way to Megan's house to get ready. But yeah my date caused quite a lot of drama before hand, but eventually everything worked out really well and he was gentleman! So well we got ready at Megan's and took couple pictures there and then we went to Rebecca's house to take more pictures :D And after all the pictures we went to the school and they announced prom queen and king and that kinda stuff and after that we loaded to the "fancy" busses and then they drove us to Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry :) Andd well then there we had first dinner which was pretty bad and then the dancing part begun :D Okay no comments about american (or mexican dancing) but yeah it's pretty crazy :D After good three hours of dancing we headed back to the busses and to the school. At the school we had post prom which was like super cool! We had like tons of games and like air filled obstacle courses, sumo wrestling and stuff like that! (ookke suomeks helpompi selittää et se ne oli ku pomppulinnoi mut ei semmosiii perinteisii vaa kaikkii erilaisii). When eventually the post prom was over, we had a sleepover at Megan's house. Too bad that we don't have prom in Finland, I'd like to experience it again, because it was super fun!! I just loved it!
And now again I have no idea what else has happened since the prom weekend :DD Hmmm.. I don't mean that I haven't done anything just that I don't remember what I have done. I feel like I've never been this busy! At least then I got to graduate from american high school. The last week of school was only until Wednesday and then on Friday we had senior breakfast, which was that everyone just dressed up nicely and went then we had a breakfast and speeches in a restaurant. And after the breakfast we had graduation rehearsal at the school.
Then on Sunday, we graduated! It was pretty much just like in movies!! Except for the heat.... It was over +35 degrees celsius on that day! And having the gown on and sitting in the gym among 3000 others wasn't exactly how I imagined graduation, but well it was incredible experience to hear my name called and walk through the stage and get the diploma :) I don't know how to describe it better! But well if someone wants to get better view of it, I have the whole ceremony on DVD!
So my summer break officially begun on Memorial day, Monday the 28th. For Memorial Day Megan, Bailey and I prepared patriotic outfits.. Yes, I know I looked like an idiot but whatever :D But most of the people was wearing something patriotic so... With our outfits on we went to see a parade that walks through downtown Geneva and Nick was playing in the marching band so we got to hear him playing too :) After the Parade we were hanging out all day because on the next day Megan had to leave to Wisconsin, where she will work as summer camp leader or something and we won't be able to see each other anymore... We had tons of fun that day but when it got close to the end we couldn't hold our tears anymore. Okay Nick could but he's a guy so he doesn't count! It was so hard to say good bye for her, because she has been one of my really best friends here and I can't imagine my life without hanging out with her BUT i'm gonna be waiting for her visit to Finland my door is always gonna be open to everyone. :)
Hmmm well these couple weeks of summer break have gone by super fast and I can't believe that the day when I need to pack the results of hours and hours of shopping to my two suitcases and say good bye to everyone, is already in 2 weeks. This year has just been a dream come true and it's so shocking that the dream is about to end and it's time to come back to the reality. It's not that I wouldn't miss my life and you guys in Finland, but now I need to say bye to all these friends and family here. And I feel like it was just couple days ago when we cried in middle of the shopping center in August 25th when I was about to come here!! I guess everything has to end, but maybe this will also be a new beginning for me. Who knows! See you in couple weeks you Finnish people and well the Americans now is the time to hang out with me :D Geneva and everyone here will be in my heart forever!! Remember that my door is always open to everyone who wants to visit me :)
Love,
Kaisulii :)
