The Ending

Well, once again, I have completely put off writing my blog and I am sure you're all waiting on the edge of your seat to hear more about my adventure.
So...where to begin. Since my last post, I have visited the Karl Fazer chocolate factory with Rotex in Helsinki. There we bought loads of chocolate as well as got to sit in a room full of free chocolate. Yes, that is correct, as much chocolate as your heart desires. Regular, dark, white, caramel filled, cream filled, BUT there was a catch....you weren't allowed any water. And if you didn't know already, you can only eat so much chocolate until your stomach turns and your mouth goes dry and all you want is a speck of pristine water.
The next major event I should fill you in on is that SUOMI ON UUSI MAAILMAN MESTARIT! (HEI!) Finland is now the world's ice hockey champions. Maiju, myself and a few other friends went out to Turku to watch the match; Finland vs. Sweden. If you don't know Finland and Sweden's history, the competition is similar to America and Canada, because to us, we are clearly better, but to Canada their maple syrup could destroy us. Well, that is sort of how it goes here with Sweden. We really do not like them. And the fact that we scored 4 points on them in 3 minutes ending the game 6-1 pretty much constitutes our right to better-ism (not a word, I know, sorry about my English which has gone down the toilet). The city went CRAZY that night, though. I have never seen Finns being so loud and absolutely obnoxious---it was so AWESOME! And on top of this, we have been having crazy nice weather lately! Shoulders are now burnt from our Summer Rock "concert" if you could call it that. I sang one song after waiting for 3 hours for the younger school to play. And after the las tof their bands played, they were dismissed from school. Leaving us a crowd of about 12....so I was not so pleased with how that was organized, but what can you do?
Next major event is I had two exchange students stay at my house 2 weekends ago. Eamon, from Australia, and Lisa from France. We had a Rotex going away party at the same place we had our welcoming party- how tragic. It was a beautiful day and now looking back, it seems like forever ago.
Plans for the future: Sunday I am going to the harbor in Turku to send off the lucky exchangies going on the Eurotour. Just imagine 50 of your best friends being sent away and not knowing when you will see them again. It's a gutwrenching feeling and I am not exactly looking forward to it, but I will be there for quite a while. 12-8PM I believe. Sooner plans, tomorrow I am biking an hour to Turku instead of the bus (look at me going green) with Gaby and then Erick is arriving into town around 5PM. Next up is my little brother's birthday summer cottage party on June 11th. June 21st I am giving a Finnish speech for my rotary and hostfamilies. Graduation is this weekend----sorry these are so mixed up I am typing as they pop into my head-----June 24th is Midsummer day and we are going to Porvoo again to Roosa's families summer cottage! Then June 27th I leave. Got about 3 weekends left here.
The flight plan goes as follows: Leave 6:55AM from Helsinki (which calls for us to leave at 3 from Turku). Land in Germany at 8ish. 4 hour layover. Leave Germany at 12.30 and land in O'hare around 7.30PM
25 days left---and time is going faster than ever now!
Will put up pictures later. Gotta get my rest for my  biking adventure tomorrow!
