About Me:

Hey everyone! I'm Anna. A Finnish student whose gap year ended and summerholida​y started for a month ago YAY. I spent the year studying languages and tourism in Karjaa (which is about 1 hour by train from my hometown Turku). I lived in the school's dormitory and now moved back home for a couple of weeks. I'll be permanently moving away from home in June (2nd to be exact).
I'm very excited about the summer because this summer is going to be one of the best summers I've had this far. There're so many cool things waiting for me that I don't know what to do to make time pass faster. Then again I don't it to pass too fast because it'd mean that the summer would be over too soon.
I'll start at the Uni next fall but I won't tell you more about that now because now it's summer and there's no time to worry about what'll happen after a couple of months.
As a person I'm a bit crazy in a good way, sarcastic, and fun. I'm always ready to have fun and love laughing and making people laugh.

Requests:

i don't  really have any special requests but it would be nice if you were a little bit crazy like me and had a good sense of humour 'cause you really can't be upthight if you want to get along with me :D
PS. it'd be nice to know if you've bookmarked me :)

Language Exchange Requests:

I'm bilingual with Finnish and Swedish. I've studied English for 11 years I think. Spanish for 3 and French for 5 years. But my French and Spanish are both a bit rusty at the moment. I've also studied Latin (3 years in the secondary school), Italian, Russian, Arabic, German, Chinese and Dutch. Of those languages I can somehow communicate in Italian and Dutch but my skills are very limited I'm afraid.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Photography'​s one of my biggest passions. I used to take photography classes to learn more about all the different techniques but i had to quit so now  i'm just photographin​g on my own. I heard there's a dark room in the house where I'm moving and can't wait to get there.
I also love swimming which is weird cos no one else in my family like swimming. But it's fine by me cos this way there's more room for me in the pool :D
I enjoy long walks with my iPod (which is pink btw) especially in winter and autumn when it's all dark outside
I'm very much interested in learning about different cultures and new languages

Favorite Music:

The Ark, The Crash, Him, Semmarit, Roxette, Kent, Tryo, Fran Perea, Nek, Simple Plan, Blink 182, Bon Jovi, Zen Café, HIM etc. Oh and I fell in love with Jason Mraz this summer :) I love going to concerts which is one of the reasons i think this autumn is going to be awesome - there're so many concerts i'll be going to and the first one's Simple Plan in Helsinki in October.

Favorite Movies:

oh there're so many! But comedies are always fun to watch or dramas with a very good story.
Gladiator, Crash, American History X, Proof, Boys Don't Cry, Stranger Than Fiction, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, Chocolat, La Tigre E La Nieve, Under the Tuscan Sun, Holiday, Love Actually, A Lot Like Love, Coyote Ugly, In Her Shoes
just a few to mention
Oh and I love Disney films!

Favorite TV Shows:

i don't really watch tv anymore but when i did Friends was my favorite

Favorite Books:

The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas is one of the best books i've ever read
The Da Vinci code by Dan Brown
Courrier de Finlande by Philippe Guicheteau
Maan Ääriin by Magnus Londen
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs
I just finished Holy cow! An Indian Adventure by Sarah MacDonald and I can recommend to everybody who's interested in India and it's religions or if you're just otherwise interested in India. I've wanted so long to travel around India by train and after reading the book I really want to go.

Demain je mange chez les grands parents de mon copain et ensuite à 4h un copain vient à la maison répéter avec moi( je suis étudiante en art dramatique),​ je reprends les cours lundi et je dois préparer une scène.
Tu aimes les discothèques​? J'ai beau aimer la musique, je n'y vais jamais.

I will have to do some shopping tomorrow. My boyfriend and me will travel to Majorca on September 28th and I need to buy some things like sun milk and shower gel...
Have you been abroad this year?

I like making piles of leaves and running through them too! It's so fun :) I also get excited by snow, but it doesn't snow very often here.. so i rarely get to enjoy it. It always looks really beautiful when it first falls and covers everything before people walk through it. The Jane Austen was good, as were the Roman Baths - the guide there was telling us that people often accidently fall in, apparently once this man was filming his family on his video camera and stepped backwards and went straight into the pool. Apparently it also happened at a wedding as well, because people can get married and have their wedding receptions there. I said to my Dad I bet that'd be the sort of thing that would happen to me.  I took quite a lot of photos on my Dad's camera but I've not seen them yet :S I can sympathise with the rain.. it's the same here. We've not had much summery weather here this summer.
Wow that choir sounds amazing, you should so audition! I bet you'd be great. I'm going to karaoke again this Sunday, so I'm looking forward to that. At my society I'm going to be the social secretary - so I have to help arrange all the weekly topics for the meeting and plan the social events! which should be good as I'm quite a sociable person. Uni halls were great I enjoyed my time there, we went on nights out together, had drunken corridor parties and me and my friend cooked Christmas dinner for the rest of our corridor before we went home last December, that was really good fun. It's good if you get on well with everyone though. We had some really random conversation​s too. Really, I never knew that.. How tall are you then? I bet you're taller than me. I like that picture, and the jacket makes you stand out :)

Sarah xxx :)

Yeah maybe I'll go see a genealogist someday about it. I probably am Scandinavian​, due to the hair and all. I have two brothers that are the exact same way, blue eyed and platinum blond hair. I hope I am Scandinavian​ :D

:)Il y a tellement de nouvelles chansons à chaque fois à la radio que je m'y perds. Je les ai peut être déjà entendues mais les titres ne me disent rien.

I look Finnish? lol, that's the first time I've ever heard that before. It's very possible though, nobody in my family ever recorded where their ancestors came from. So all I know is that I'm European, hahaha.
