//A little sneak peak from the last month
A month has passed since my last post, a lot has happened but then again nothing has happened. I've been happy, sad, stressed, angry and everything in between. I've hung out with friends that I haven't seen in a while, I've had a lot of dance practice, done a lot of school work, watched 4 seasons of prison break, read an over 500 pages long book, watched 5 (if not more) movies, I've partied, I've been to Sweden, my parents bought a summer cottage etc..
Today we're celebrating Anna, who turned 19 this past monday, with the girls and with a little food and some drinks. Tomorrow an old classmate of mine is hosting a kind of "high school reunion" party, so I get to meet all my favorite people that I haven't seen that much since they graduated.
Much love,
Jenniannas

MADRID

//MADRID VACA PICS
With all of my marticulation exams over and done, I took a week long trip to Madrid (well it was a school trip). We went to see different sights and had school 3,5h 5 days, but for the most time we just walked exploring a lot and sat down and drank gallons of sangría. I had a flue the entire trip, but now that I'm back home it has started to go away. YAY.
After Madrid, I just had one day of school and now we have fall break, which feels pretty awesome. I spend my days studying for högskoleprovet (kinda like an entrance exam for all unis&colleges in Sweden). And next weeks friday I'm set for Sweden to do the exam. I'm going to spend the entire weekend over there with Nadja&Sonja (and my brother who's also taking the exam).

//A few pictures with the cutest cousins a few weekends ago

Because of all the stress lately I chose to sleep in today and just take a slow morning before heading to school. It is truly crazy how your body reacts to stress, specially hidden stress. I think I was most nervous about my english exam, which is now over thank the lord. I feel like a huge burden has lifted off my shoulders and I can breathe again. I do still have two more exam to take, but I'm not that nervous about them. I just have to remember to take it easy and breathe and then everything will fall into place. Tomorrow I have the second part of my Finnish exam and on wednesday it's time for math. I hope that both will go fine, for the Finnish one there is nothing I can do anymore. But for my math I still have to push through a few days of intense studying. Wish me good luck!!!

Much love,

//Some pictures from the last couple of days

I have been so stressed for the last month, that I haven't had time to post anything here. For the first time since like ever, I'm taking a night for myself. I lit some candles and I have my smooth playlist on. Because of the all the stress my body has reacted in not a nice way, and now I am more than devoted to eat healthy and exercise, and also take care of my own well-being.

I managed to run the entire Midnight run the other week, and I have never been more proud of myself. I'm determined to be able to beat my time next year, running will become my new hobby. Or some.

Even though Freja has been home every weekend since she moved to Turku, it has been a little empty without her here. It took a while before I got used to not be able to text her and see if she could hang out. It still feels weird to not have her within a 15 minute drive.

Last friday we had a girls dinner at Nicoles' place since she's moving to the UK this saturday. She made tomato soup and it was delicious. On saturday I celebrated Freja's birthday with a drink (coca cola) at a restaurant where we planned our upcoming trips and then with the movie Ricki and the Flash. It really was a great movie and gosh do I love my little best friend.

I've already taken two of my Baccalaureate exams, and "only" have three more left. I think they both went fine, and I'm hoping that the other three will go equally as fine. Next week the 23rd it will all be over, and the celebrations that lie ahead are more than welcome. 

Much love,

Jenniannas

NEW START

//Summer 2014 with my bestfriend
Do you remember how I promised like 3 months back that I was back on track? Well I wasn't but here I am again. Not sure though of how much I'll blog but I promise to try my best.
My summer was good, nothing too exciting. Or well, The States were awesome. It was beyond describeable to be back and to see everyone again. It's crazy how much I miss everyone over there daily and how much love I got for all of them. Three weeks over there was not enough, but it was better than nothing.
The rest of my summer vaca I hung out with my lovely friends, took one or two many drinks, party after party, cabin parties, sunshine, a trip to estonia with the fam... I poured myself to myself this summer, cause this might be the last summer as a group. Some of my friends (including my person) are moving away for uni. It's crazy to think that they will not be just a 10minute car ride away. But eh life goes on and true friends stay in your heart forever.
I got back to school last wednesday and it's been kind of easy going for the first couple of days. Bacclaureate exams are coming up and I'm studying mostly every day. Next week I'll be running (hopefully) the Helsinki Midnight Run. I catched a flue a week ago and haven't been able to workout ever since. But better days are coming so, cross your fingers.
Much love

BACK ON TRACK

A lot of things have happened since I wrote my last blog post. I've been to the incredible city of Barcelona, partied (both sober and intoxicated), focused on school, hung out with friends, had a sleepover with Freja (and we made a raw cake, popsicles and dinner), watched so many movies and TV-shows... The weather is what it is during spring time in Finland. Some days we're blessed with sun and heat, and some well pouring down rain. Just a month left until school's over, and until I'm bound for Americaaaaaaa!!! I could not be more excited. I've got loads of fun plans ahead of me, and I'll try to blog more and about them. Kisses

COUNTRY MUSIC

//A few of my favorite "old" country songs 
It's been so lovely outside this week and it has given me such excitement for the coming summer. School during days which has followed by all from practice to driving around deep in the night with my favorite girls. I think the sun brings out the happiness in people, or at least in me. It's something about driving with your windows down, country music playing, sun shining and your bestfriends in the car that really gets me.

SO CRAZY IN LOVE

//chillllllllls
It's sunday once again, and I can't believe how fast these weeks are passing by. I'm actually happy that they are passing by fast, the faster I'll be back in America(<3). Otherwise it scares me that time is passing by and soon I'll find my self at the age of 40 driving my kiddos to practice. Time actually passes too fast.
Friday was a good one. I think me and Nadja changed our mind 35 times but we ended up going to Uggla (a club) and then to Beni. Landed at my place a little over 3, only to drive back to Ns' house because she thought she had left the oven on. That night proved that it's right now when I'm living and that I can do whatever I like. As we concluded yesterday with N&Freja, we can sleep when we are dead.
Saturday I ended up driving my boys home. Tired but happy to spend time with them since those times are about the be over. Or over for a daily/weekly basis after 2weeks. Point being, enjoy everything while it's still in your hands and while you're young&reckless.

IT'S A LONG RIDE AND I'M READY

//snapshot from last weekend
EYYY long time no see. It's been a crazy the past month (two), which has left no time for me to post anything. Spring is just around to corner and I'm growing anxious. I want to travel to world right now. This very second. I'll get my relief in about a month when I head for Barcelona, Spain.
Tomorrow I'm going over to Nadjas' place to celebrate her and Meris' birthdays!! A lot of girls and food, good company is what my friday will consist of. Longing for it so much. Well gotta go babes, I'll try to post soon again!

2202

It's been crazy two weeks and I'm exhausted. So here's some picture from the after party a week ago. And oh it's my birthday today, yay.

WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE

//Last friday night

Some pictures from last friday when me and Nadja made dinner which ended up with Axel coming over and us continuing to Helsinki to celebrate his birthday and all our seniors who had their teacher-student dinner. I had a blast and some how ended up coming home at 6am. But it was for sure a night to remember.

On sunday I pulled my thigh, of course our wanhat ("prom") is just 3 days away. I'm still not able to walk normal, so I'm a little worried if I'll be able to dance on friday. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed, right?

Today I had my listening comprehension in english, and oh my shitty lord it was hard. Everyone thinks it's easier for an exchange student cause "we know more than "normal" people do". That's just bullshit. We might have it easier communicating and getting our message through but it doesn't help you at all in the actual listening comprehension. It kinda pisses me off when people think we have it easier, we seriously don't. Only thing we have is much more pressure to succeed. Well what ever, I'll just hope it went well..

SUGAR? YES PLEASE

//Some oldies I found
Monday again, and the weather has been real bad the past two days. Good thing though is that my flu is gone (or almost at least) which means that I started working out again on sunday!!!!!! I swear this flu lasted for over a month and I'm so happy to be able to work out again. It's been far too long since I last was able to.
Friday was a blast. But dearly beloved 25 girls can make a lot of noise. I love it though, it never gets quite and you laugh until you actually form a sixpack. So thank you, Frani&Soffi for an amazing night!! (and everyone else who danced until we droped)
For this next two weeks I have so much going on. Everything from shopping the last dets for Gammeldans (our version of prom) to driving lessons to my english exam (eepp help!!!!). I'm excited though, a lot of program with bunch of wonderful people. So I'm not complaining. And soonsoon it's february break, I fly off to Austria for some snowboarding with the fam and my cousin. Then it's back home for some relaxing days with my friends (also planning my birthday). Cause believe it or not in 20days I'm turning 19. Holy shit is all I can say.
