| Im doing very well, hope you are as well! Was nice talking to you last week though it was really weird speaking English again, feels like Ive already forgot quite some..A week ago we had a really cold period, we got snow and the most keen skiers already took out their cross country skis and went out skiing a few times, but then it got warmer again and now were back to rain and chilly.School has been busy as always, this week and the following one are full of exams but Im coping. Im done with most of the obligatory courses so theres mostly fun and interesting ones left which makes studying at least a little bit more fun (if its possible for stuidying to be any fun). I have my first marticulation exam next spring, in bio, so its been tons of that, some of the stuff weve been learning are the same we learned about last year and thats brought many good memories to me in the middle of all the stress.This weekend was Halloween and I thought a lot about Canada and the awesome Halloween I had there last year! Yesterday we carved pumpkins and roasted pumpkin seeds with Ella who had never done that before and had tons of fun.They turned out almost as nice as the ones last year. I had a halloween dinner with some friends with lizard thighs and worm pasta and blood punch and we dresed up and went out for a bit and had a blast! Missed all the ´trick or treaters` though, there werent any..Been going out quite a lot lately actually, as Im in Vörå during the weeks I dont see my friends here in Vaasa as much anymore so the weekends have almost unexceptionally been about catching up and having fun so that itll make it until the next weekend again.Its been tons of training as well of course, sometimes even twice a day if its a good day. But I dont mind, weve having so much fun at Vörå while doing it that is! And a great thing is that we have our own kitchen guy there who prepares us supper every day, what would be better than coming to the dorm after a hard workout to a ready made dinner table!The time is going really fast, only 2 months and its already christmas, thats hard to believe.. My Canadian flag hanging on the wall and all the many pictures Ive printed help me when the Caouada-longing really strikes, I cant wait to save enough money to come back an visit!! Tty soon,hugs,Kirsi
