Dear dudes and dudettes,

Last day. My last hours. And probably the last post I'm posting.
Oh how I've been crying this weekend, first on friday when I said good bye to my class, then yesterday when I said goodbye to everybody in Toulon. Today I'm going to continue crying when I'm saying goodbye to more friends, and when I'm saying goodbye to my family, and then when I'm saying hello to my real family.
Well, I wanna thank all you for following my blog, it was awesome telling you and reading your comments :) (even though I've been lazy on this updating thing) You're great, and I love you. Take care! GROS BISOUS.

Today began with me not finding my bus card 10 minutes before the bus would leave. I usually have it in my small marimekko thing, but suddenly it wasn't there. so I search like a fool, and didn't find it anywhere! So I looked one last time in my marimekko thing, and of course it was there! So I had to run like never before to catch the bus (I haven't by the way missed the since january, not even once! I'm proud), and then the bus was 20min late. And just so we could put sell in my wounds, it was 30 degrees, even though they had announced rain and cold, so I had LOTS of clothes on! Oh.
I came earlier to school than I normally would have had to, because we had a small crepes-breakfast with Audrey and Camille. There were some people in seconde (premier class in finland) who started throwing out things from a window at us, without reason. Haha, we thought of taking all their things and run away, but sadly, angels as we are, we didn't do it.
Afterwards we had one hour of history, and then we went downtown with a lot of friends to eat at subway. At subway there was a guy in his 50 who tried to flirt with us and ask us out. At first it was fun, but after a while when he didn't leave us alone it just start getting creepy. We took the bus back to school, where they started torturing my legs and arms by writing things on them, so I was really colorful after.
Now were about to go out to get some dinner with my family one last time (I'm not here this weekend, and Lisa leaves on saturday) together, and I have to pack my bags. Take care guys! bisous

Yesterday I arrived at school at 10am, came calmly in to the class room, sat down, when my teacher is coming forward to me saying "hi, you're going to do a test today". WHAAT?!?! A TEST?!?! I thought I would die a bit, but when I got the questions, start reading the text it was kind of easy. I understood the whole text, I could easily translate it into swedish, but the hardest part was coming up new ways to say the answer in a new way, because I didn't want to copy it, I really wanted her to see that I've understood the text, and I've really worked on it. (later she told me she would have been just fine with me copying the text, obviously it was a text for people who does their exams at the university.)
After school we went to Pauline's to eat a great lunch! After lunch we jumped into the pool, which was awesome. I'll show you some pictures :)

1 week. 7 days. I-don't-know-how-many hours. It feels so sad.
In about exactly 1 week I'm getting on the train to Paris, and then the plane to Helsinki. Oh. I don't want to.
Yesterday my class gave me a book they are reading in french class. They've all singed their name in the book, and written something sweet.
Today in math a friend started speaking really loud. "Well, Linnéa, you're leaving soon, so we wanted to give you some gifts". Oh I wanted to cry then, they are perfect. I'm really really going to miss them :( (I'll show you pictures later)
Well today I'm going to start packing my things and cleaning a bit too, because there's so much I have to do before I'll leave, some many people I have to see, so I'm never going to find time to do everything if I won't do it now. Wellwell, now I'm going to eat and then start packing. Take care! Bisous

I want to cry. I don't want to come home yet. Yes I want to see all my friends and family, but I don't want to leave France. Nonono And now there's 13 days left. I've started packing things I have to send home before, 4 packages of things, and I think I still need more... Well, I'm making sure of that I'm spending my last days well, and this weekend we're going to have a bye bye party. I don't want to have a bye bye party. I don't want to leave. Well, anyway, now I have to continuing to pack my stuff, take care! bisous

Today my loovely friend Camille turns 17! BON ANNIVERSAIRE ENCORE MA HULLU!
Well so I haven't written for a while, again, surprise surprise. Well monday we didn't have school (férie), tuesday I finished at 12, same on wednesday, yesterday there was a strike, so I just stayed home, and today I began at 11. Not that hard week no :) Has been lovely weather too, I've been swimming in a pool too this week, for the first time this year :) And I've been eating looots of cherries! Yummie, just gotta love it. Well. I don't know what to tell you, nothing special has really happened.. But today there's only 18 days until I get home. Honestly, even though there's a lot of milk in Finland, I just want to stay in France.. Well, I'll come back, that's for sure.

My day in Nimes (saturday) went really good, the weather was H O T. When I came back to Valence César was at the train station, waiting for me with flowers :) hihi. Afterwards we went to Audrey, ate loots of crepes and talked the whole night.
Sunday we went to Ardeche, a place about 2h from Valence. We spent the whole day climbing mountains and visiting places, which was really nice. And oh I was tired after all the mountain climbing, so I can tell you that I got a good nights sleep, haha. (I'll show you pictures later)
Today was such a hot day, 49 degrees at max (in the sun okay, but still you get the picture) and at 7pm it was 32degrees. It was hard to even move because of the weahter. So now I'm going to try to get some sleep, even it's like a sauna in my room. FUN with sports tomorrow if it's hot like this. Well, I'll survive, I guess...

Good morning! Finally the sun has started shining, and I don't think there's a better way then to spend it outdoors. Today I'm going to Nimes, to visit the woman who has responsibility over me when I'm here, and I hope there will be other exchange students too. We are going to discuss my return to finland (24 days now!) and how my french has developed and other things. Afterwards I'm taking the train back home, and the evening I'm spending at Audrey's (crepes party, loovely!) Well, I still have to clean up a bit before I'll leave, so I better get to work! Take care!
Bisous

The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was that I will go back to sleep as soon as I get home from school. It's weird, I've never really had problems sleeping, but this week it's seems impossible to sleep for me.
Well. A thing I'm not really a fond of is this everyone calling me miss Briffaut. People I don't even know calls me that, on monday when I was waiting for my ride to arrive a car drove by, with the window open and a guy (that I'm not even sure of he's in our school? well I didn't know him at least) look at me and screamed "OH IT'S MISS BRIFFAUT!". Hum. Well, now everybody's realizing that's old, so I've started to get my real name back.
I can't describe how nice it's going to be with weekend, even though I've got the worst french assignment EVER that I have to work on. Well, c'est la vie. And we have all monday free, tuesday we don't have any english (I finish at 12) etcetc. C H I L L !
3 weeks and 5 days until I'm home. Woow.
Mercredi 190510
Today after school I came home and slept for an hour, because I've been really sleeping bad lately. After sleeping I felt a lot better, and so I went to Chabeuil, to Audrey. Cécile, Pauline and Anaïs came too, we ate strawberries and watched The Hangover in french. Had a really good time, thanks girls! Maybe I'll post some pictures later :)
