Thursday, 24th March in Estonia

Yeah, I guess I forgot to introduce myself and Katre. Well, I'm Eva and I'm 18 (so is Katre). Me & Katre are in the school student council, she is the president, I'm the VP. Katre spends her very little free time with dancing and acting (if i should forget sth then let me know!), I do national dances and yoga. I love to read as well. One other thing I forgot to mention, is that we're having our spring break at the moment - no school for a week, but the week is ending :(
A bit of our school: our lesson lasts for 45 mins and after that a 10-minute break. We have a maximum of 8 lessons each day. Everybody can have a warm lunch (soup or a steak with dessert), lunch break lasts for 35 mins. I have a question for you: did others tell you about their trip to here? So I'd know what you already know.
Katre just a birthday on Tuesday, she turned 18. She is celebrating her bday tomorrow and she said that all she's been doing today is cooking, hosting some guests, cooking and cooking and shopping for groceries.
But me, on the other hand, had a very busy day again. First of all I managed to get into a fight with my boyfriend before it was even 6.30 am :D Regardless of that, I had my first job interview today! I applied for a job as a younger tour guide in the town hall in our medieval and gorgeous old town (google it!!). I think it went well - I had to show my abilty to speak in English and in Russian and talk a bit about myself. The pay is not going to be big but I value the experience even more. After the interview, my dad picked me up and we went to pick up mom from home to go shopping. Estonians love shopping. My mom got the jeans she always wanted but I didn't get anything because I'm waiting for Turkey, the shopping there should be much more cheaper and have more different stuff than here. I did buy some things as souvenirs to Turkey and a new suitcase. My old one broke down and although it could have been fixed easily, my dad insisted on buying a new one.
Me and mom had lunch at Baby Back's BBQ restuarant (american style) around three o'clock and now it's 7 pm and I'm still so full that I don't even want to look at food! I had a creamy soup with BBQ meat and seafood (I LOVE seafood!) and a traditional american apple pie. It all tasted excellent but the portions were way too big for me.
And here I am, at home again. I'm planning on studying Chemistry today but dunno how good I'm gonna be. I thought of posting some pictures of me and Katre but I couldn't find any from mymailbox (my Internet is way too slow). Tomorrow evening it's going to be Katre's bday party so I'm not sure I'll be able to blog right after the party but I'll give it a try!
PS! Maybe we could keep the blog (where the 'create a new post' is) in English!

  1. I forgot to add a few things: the weather today was hectic. I know you all enjoy that spring is coming (or it has arrived) but we are dealing with -2 to a maximum of +4 at the moment. I took the bus today to the city and the weather was lovely -sun was shining, just a little bit windy. 20 mins later it was a real snowstorm already. Snow was flying around in the wind, quite scary. And guess what came 15 mins later? Blazing sun! I've in Estonia for all of my life but I NEVER get used to the weather. It's hard to think of sth to wear in the morning because you'll never know what is it going to be like in the noon, afternoon.
    Tell us about your weather, especially the Turkish!

    PS! The comment is maybe under Aydan's name but I couln't find another way, sorry!
