Monday, 28th March in Estonia

Afternoon greetings!
Today was our first day of our final term. We always hate Mondays, we have Biology, Maths, Physics and Chemistry all in a row in one day. But today was a quiet day. Not much happened besides the fact that our class was a bit restless (talking during lessons). A lot of the talking was about cars (yes, Katre has driving licenses and it IS the most important thing atm:D) and taking the driving exams. Luckily, all of that talk goes right past me because I finished my driving school more than two years ago and have licenses since last October. Yei!
We have student council's board meetings on Monday during the lunch break but today we had nothing to talk about. So really, a quiet day!
After all those hard lessons we two English classes where we talked about money and different situations connected to money where we've been. Of course we talked about our blogs and read out loud some funny English sentenceses. Sometimes it was really very funny how some of us write but what can you do. It still is better than nothing! After the English classes I had my chemistry's national exam's consultation. By 5 pm I was home and had dinner. Katre waited for an hour after the English classes ended (she isn't taking the exam) and then took the school bus home. And I believe the rest of day we have the same.
Today's and yesterday's and the days before that were and are a complete disaster! Although the spring began a week ago, we have a freaking snowstorm every day! Today we almost got trapped in the snow with our car on our drive way and our neighbour did. The snow plow had to come and drag him out of there. When looking from a warm room, only then the weather seems gorgeous. Sun is setting (our sun sets an hour, I know that for you guys it's like 15 mins max:D) and occasional drifting snow.
Our teachers have a Comenius project too with a partner school also from Turkey. They just arrived yesterday from there (they were 40 km from Eskisehir) and told us some rather piquant stories about it. For one moment me and Katre thought that we're gonna ''get sick'' for the trip:D The Turkish culture is really very different from ours so I think that a culture shock is on its way! No harm meant ;) But it is always interesting to see how other people live and to know that life somewhere else isn't the life we have here. Although, one of the biggest differences which stood out when Seyma, Gürkan and Anil were here, was that they always had time (not that it matters that the bus is leaving or we have a booked tour) while we were always on time and ready with our things. It bugged us but we had to consider the fact that it might be like that.
But ok, I thought I had a nice way to end this super-long post but I lost it:D If you have questions or comments then please don't hesitate to do it!

All the best wishes
Eva
