Inside pics

It's been freezing out here past couple of days. I LOVE IT! It's not a real winter at all if one don't feel the frost in your cheeks and have the white frost in your hair after being outside for a while. I like dressing up well. Now it's just perfect. The temperature is below minus 20 Celsius degrees. I know that i would feel differently if this would be an ongoing thing for over two weeks.

Anyway the frost made its art to our window while we were airing our appartment. Look how cute our class angel looks in our frosty window. Unfortunately the frost dissappears quickly after closing window... Well, I guess it's good that we have tight windows that don't let the cold air come in.

At our citchen window we have also this blue cow. I don't remember which one of our girls made it with class paints. We have these class paintings in various places. They give a cute personal touch to our interior decoration. I think that having children live in our home should also be seen. In order to survive this long and dark winter of ours we need vitamins. So we always have mandarins to eat. To ease the darkness I also like burning candles. This one is my favourite. I got it from a pupil of mine as a christmas present. It's made by finnmari .

Hablo Español

I actually don't speak Spanish but I would love to. When I was in Peru I got frustrated with the fact that I couldn't speak with people without the interpreter. There are millions of people who speak Spanish as their mother toung and I figured out that there might come other situations in my life that i would want to communicate with them. So I took a Spanish course.

I've been going to the Spanish course now for about 10 times. So I can't say that I can speak Spanish but it feels so good to learn a new language. It's hard and it seems that I haven't learned much yet but I'll do my best. here is a sample of my skill:

Soy Maiju. Tengo 32 años. Tengo dos hijos y un marido. Trabajo en escuela. Soy professora. En mi tiempo libre leo libros y eschucha música classica. Me gusta viajar. En Finlandia hay miles lagos.

Did you understand? Hopefully I didn't make many mistakes. If anyone is interested in writing e-mails with me in Spanish I would be happy to do that. I could do that also in Swedish or in German. I have studied them both but forgot almost all of it. I would love to be fluent in all of those langueges and maybe after ten years or so I'll take another language to learn...
