Ummm...

Err...I haven't posted in a while, eh? I've just been busy with finals...Fun stuff. >.< I have my English final tomorrow. This is English as a second language, ok? It's probably a little easy but the word tests (Sanakoet) get me. Translating words back and forth from English to Finnish is hard! Especially since my Finnish vocabulary isn't that big. *shrugs* Nothing much new. I bought all my christmas presents already (heh heh, it's not even December yet!). My friends and I are also try to arrange a Christmas party next weekend, since we have Monday off because it's Finland's Independance Day. (Finland won it's independance from Russia on Dec. 6th, 1917, before the whole Russia thing, it was a part of Sweden...That's all I know....) Yeah. That's about it for me. I am very much looking forward to Christmas vacation. Why you ask? Well, my dears, my dad is coming here to Finland!! I'm excited. (Psst! It's in 25 days...heh heh.) Take Care and Have a good day! ~Minako ^_^ No quote today...I can't think of a good one...

Just a quick post before I leave... I was pondering the other day on a question, that I would assume that almost everyone has come across at one point in their lives... If you could do it all over again, would you? OR Do you have any regrets from your past? Luckily for me, I do NOT have any regrets from any point in my life, and if I could do it all over again, I would. Yes, I've made some pretty stupid decisions in my life, but I learned from them. That's all I have to say for today... Take Care! ~Minako

   Holá!

Yo. I guess you could say I'm feeling a little better. What also made me feel better was a package I got from my parents yesterday! They sent me jeans (jeans are so expensive here! The cheapest ones I saw were 50€! about $50.) and a huge bag of M&M's, a book, some magazines, INCLUDING People and US Weekly. Considering I never read People or US Weekly back in the states, it's nice to know what's going on in the world of Stars in the states. I guess. I also got a pair of Halloween socks (It's almost half-way through November, but *Shrugs* They're cute. And I KNOW they're from Walmart. Heh heh.) and a Green Bay Packers Season calender from Shopko. (I assume it was free.) It's really nice to get packages! My first one (here in Finland) was the one my dear friend Sara sent me! (Thanks again! You're package back is ready, but I just might need some money to send it, neh?) Enough about my pakage. Isn't it great when it's 12:42 and you're still in your pajamas and your annoying cousins are somewhere else?? Ah, splendid solitude. That's about it for me. Enjoy reading about my package. Not. Heh heh. Take Care! ~Minako

   Meh.

Meh. Yes. Just Meh. I've been stressed and depressed lately. (Heh. They rhyme.) Today was a better day though. It's just it's a wee bit tough over here. Living with 3 active kids ages 8 and under, throw in 2 screaming parents and you've got me right there. Put on top of that, violin, orchestra, aerobics class, homework, finals are (yet again) 2 weeks away, AND I've been really homesick lately. On top of all of that, I'm sick and I can't hear anything out of my left ear. (My grandma's going to get me a doctor's appointment for Wednesday.) Pretty schmucked up, neh? So that's about it. Sorry for the rant-y post. Short and angsty, just what I need. ( RIIIGHT ) Take Care and hopefully you are better than I am! ~Minako She wants to go home But nobody's home That's where she lies Broken inside With no place to go No place to go To dry her eyes Broken Inside ~Avril Lavigne "Nobody's Home"

   Fianls. Are. Evil.

Just some stats before I start: # of hits: 973 Rank #:361 # of GB signings:50 You might be wondering why finals are evil. Well, let me tell you. My highest grade was a #6. The grades go from 4(being the worst) to 10 (the best). SO, (according to the American grading system) My highest grade was about a D. I'm not too worried because I'm taking make-up finals for Biology and Chemistry. BUT what I'm wondering, is if I need an actual grade for back in the states. If I don't, it's enough that the teacher puts down that I've been through the class. But if I do need a grade, I need to take my math class over because the make-up final is in August, and I won't be here. grr. Enough of that. Just a question, is it a bad thing to like your best friend? As MORE than a friend? You see, I have a friend back in the states, let's call him Bob. (Sara, you know him. Let's just say he was "Inspector Doyle" in the musical.) We've been writing emails back and forth, well, we're friends! Of course we would! BUT in the email I got today, he mentioned his wanting a girlfriend. In response to this, I wrote that I wanted a boyfriend (which I do) and mentioned my 'friend' back in the states that I liked. I never mentioned Bob's name, but I wrote that if he wanted to know, I might tell him. I so desperately want to tell him how I feel, but 1.)I'm in Finland for Joe's sake, and 2.) He's in the play and he's stressed about that, AND stessed about school too. Did I do the right thing? I don't know. That's about it for me. Take care everyone! I'll probably go to everyone's sites today, ok? Sincerely, ~Minako

   Yo.

I might just keep my colors. They're a bit...I don't know...refreshing. (AKA: no changes) Nothing else much new, except for the fact that I get my finals back tomorrow! I'm really frightened about my Chemistry final! I went horribly! *bites nails and then quits because that's yucky.* Meh. At least I get to start my Fall Vacation after school. My Vacation lasts from Wednesday of this week (10-20) through the rest of the week. (Of course this includes the weekend.) I am very much looking forward to it because of two reasons. 1.)I REALLY need a break after finals. @.@ and 2.)I get to get away from my small child house, to my dad's side of the family for my vacation. *sigh of relief* Seriously though, those kids are getting on my nerves. T_T *twitch* ANYWHO, I also have good news! My dad's coming here for Christmas! I'm soo excited! Yes, he has to work for a little bit, but that's ok. He comes in 65 days. (You can count yourself what day he comes on! Hint at the end of this post.)*filled to the brim with excitement* Oh! If any of you can think up a good small group excersize for Finnish High Schoolers learning English, let me know. I'm an "assistant teacher" in my English class. I wonder why? *cough* *cough* Heh heh, that's about it for me. I shall also scan some stuff at my aunt's house again, so expect me to procrastinate on uploading them. Heh heh. I'll try to post them right away. Take Care! ~Minako I don't want to fall to pieces I just want to sit and stare at you I don't want to talk about it I don't want a conversation I just want to cry in front of you I don't want to talk about it 'Cause I'm in love with you Quote from the Avtil Lavigne song, "Fall to Pieces."

   Ummm...

Umm...*looks around*...Haven't been here in a while, eh? One reason why is because I've had finals all week. T_T Luckily, my finals ended yesterday so I had a free day! WOOT! However, I had to orienteer because of my stupid gym teacher. *puts a curse on gym teacher* Another reason why I haven't been posting, is because nothing really has been new. Meh. I found a great find! (My friend Mickie is going to flip!) I found Detective Conan in Finnish! I, of course, bought one and two. It's also about 5€ each, when in the states it's about 10€, not bad, neh? So, after reading Detective Conan, I started doing a little work on my own comic, and I noticed, when I was about half-way done, that I drew it right to left, not left to right, as I usually do! Maybe I've been reading too many mangas, but I don't care which direction it is. I like how it turned out, and when I get to a scanner (Around Oct. 22-24th, my fall vacation) I'll scan it in. I'm also working on another one, right to left too. Well, that's about it for me. Maybe I'll post again this weekend. Take Care and Sayonara! *bows* ~Minako-chan =^_^= P.S: I might change my color-scheme soon. I think it's time for a change.
