älämölö

Täälä taas! Alkaa pikkuhiljaa hermostuttaan toi lähtö, kun Ausseihin on jo porukka lähteny ja Brasilia ja Meksiko jättää Suomen sunnuntaina. Ite oon tosiaan Sveitsissä viellä, mutta aivan toinen matka mielessä. Tässä linkki pikku videoon jonka tein tänään (pahoittelen eioo ääniä, koska koneen äänikortti on hajalla): Switzerland's running water

Täällä kun on yksin (tainoperheenkanssa whatever) niin kerkee miettiin kaikkee vaihtoon liittyvää. Oon täs kelaillu omaa pääharrastusta jääkiekkoo ja sen harrastamista sitten jenkkilässä. mm. Kausi maksaa sellasen 1500-2000usd, että se on aika iso summa muun vaihtokustannuksien lisäksi ja sitten kausi on vielä lyhyempi verrattuna mitä se Suomessa on. Mulla ois kyllä hyvä koulu harrastaa lätkää, koska löytyy oma joukkoe, joka pelaa kumminkin aika kovalla tasolla. Sit taas lätkäkamoja pitäs raahata USAaan, joka tulee oleen oma haasteensa, ku ne ei mitää kevyimpiä ja pienimpiä kumminkaan ole, mutta eikähön ne mukaan järjestetä. Aion hankkii sielt uudet luikkarit ettei tarvii liukuu pari vuotta vanhoilla mädäntyneillä ( tosin aika nopeilla;) ) terillä.

Mun nva sieltä host clubilta laitto viestii myös kaikista kouluaineista ja muist kouluhommista. Sähköpostissa luki näin: 

 Class Selection:

My experience with exchange students has taught me that we do things differently than most other countries. Not better. Not worse.  Just different.  Juho will be in the 12th grade for classification purposes. However, in each class, there may be students of different ages depending on ability.  Also, with science we do notteach Biology, Chemistry, Physics together.  We devote an entire year to each.

Attached is a course selection list.  You will take  4 core classes and 2 electives.  Your grades look very strong on your application so this is what I suggest. It can be changed once you get here and it will depend on available space.

 Literature/Composition     ELA GRADE 12

 Mathematics                   Pre- Calculus

 Social Studies                World History

 Science                          Anatomy& Physiology

 Elective                          Weights & Conditioning

 Elective                          Computer Applications

 If you end up in a course that is too difficult it is easier to move lower than to move up.

Tiedossa siis aika hankalia aineita. Varsinki toi matikka on semmonen, että Suomessa ei edes sellasia asioita opi lukiossa, mitä nuo kurssit käsittelee. Onneks opin suhteellisen nopeesti niin eiköhän nuo aineet tuossa mene. Kielen kanssa tulee tietenki alkuun paljon vaikeuksia ku tulee niin paljon uutta sanastoo yms. mut eiköhän se siitä :)

In English: 

Here again! I'm getting more nervous all the time because of the exchange year. Rye students from Finland have gone to Australia and New Zealand already and more students will leave Finland in next Sunday. I'm in Switzerland at the moment, but an other trip in my mind. Here is link to little video clip from Switzerland by me (I'm sorry there is no voices because my computer's sound card is broken): Switzerland's running water 

I'm here alone so I have lot of time to think things (well I'm here with my family). I've been thinking my main hobby - ice hockey and doing it in the US. For example hockey season costs 1500-2000usd so it's pretty much with all other expenses. I have great school if I look what sports I can do there. They have own ice hockey team what is pretty good so it would be great to play there. I should bring my own equipment so I have to organize things littlebit to get my stuff with me. I'll buy new skates from US, because I don't want to skate with rotten skates.

I have had information of my school subjects and other school things from my YEO. Here is something about it:

So there are pretty hard subjects. Specially Maths will be hard because in those Pre- Calculus courses I will study things that I can't even study in high school in Finland. I learn pretty fast so I think I will be okay with everything. I bet I will have some problems with language in the beginning but my English will get better all the time :)
